I've got a brand new pair of Txture Sanity boots I'd like to give you if you cut in half and do a video. You will be amazed at the quality and price due these high quality boots!!!!
How are these holding up? I bet there's a lot of folks that are as curious as I am to see how these are breaking in. Any little details or insights on these would be much appreciated! I've got a pair of JK Fire Inlanders in EE width that I love, and a pair of Drews Loggers that are way too small for me. The leather on the Drews Logger boots is wayyyy stiffer than the JK Fire Inlanders, but still seems to be of good quality.
I’m from northern Mexico and I know exactly what event you’re talking about. I love boots in part because of the smell. It reminds me of when my grandpa and my dad would take me boot shopping and when we would shine our boots, which we call “bolear”.
I got a pair in red or rogue I think they call it. The molded leather insole didn’t really break in *faster*, but it made the break in process far less agonizing. After a few weeks I had one loose thread on each boot which I cinched up with a lighter. Even after two months I still get some reddish dye on my socks when I wear white socks which I don’t do often. One sock liner has started to peel back, but the fit is so perfect for me I can’t notice it when I’m wearing them, only when I pull them off. Overall, these are fantastic boots. I may go with the 8” work boot next. That 55+ last is great for my feet. As for people criticizing them for not being made in America... I have a dozen pairs of made in USA boots, but I’m not confused as to why my Doc Martens aren’t made in this country. Leon Mexico has just as rich of a leather work and shoemaking history as Northamptonshire and Spokane, WA. Let these people keep making great boots.
Mexico may have the best leather workers in the world. In my studies of life, I remember learning that Mexico and Spain have a rich history with cattle and leather. I believe Leon is the name of the city that is supposed to be the leather shoe capital of the world. Similar to buying a car from Germany or a katana from Japan. Mexico is cheaper than China labor wise right now, so there is that as well.
Exactly, León is our mexican leather capital and the house of lot of great brands as Siete Leguas, Gran Par, Carlo Ronaldi, Nacionalissimo, Varonte, Cuadra, Taller Atelier, etc.
It’s funny to me that so many America first bros don’t realize that Honda, Toyota, and Nissan have been building more cars and more overall vehicles in America than any of the “domestic” big three have for over a decade now. The trucks have had some or mostly built in the UsA claims for that time, but the suv and cars have overwhelmingly been offshored. The Japanese brands have American companies here to handle this market and support more small towns like Smyrna, TN through economic turmoil more than Ford, GM, or CDJR have for years and years. Quality knows no border, and supporting American now means supporting more things in America employing actual Americans at this point instead of just looking at legacy brand names.
I have had the 8" Combo Brown Loggers for a bit over a year now, and I love my pair. Took a bit to break in the leather, but that modified 55 last feels great and supportive. I've worn them for 24hr+ shifts as an underground pipeline technician, and my feet are not fatigued. They are a beast. When I need heavy work done, I wear those. When i need to be more nimble, I wear the JK OT, and when I'm on tarmac all day, I wear Whites Perry Select.
I ordered the contractor as well and absolutely loved the fit right out of the box. You’re right the smell is absolutely wonderful, like a leather shop. They’re modified/molded 55 last was so comfortable and easy break in. This was my 1st PNW boot and had heard the horror stories on the break in. After 3 weeks wearing them, I immediately ordered their 8 inch smooth/rough out brown boot. Both pairs were delivered in 2-3 weeks, not 18-52 weeks. I still have a pair of Nicks Chelsea’s I had ordered 11/21/23 and still waiting to start production. I was also hesitant in the sizing until I sent my foot measurements to their team and they had recommended 2 sizes down from my brannok and not my usual wide. But i am so glad for their help in sizing being a FNG to PNW boots. If they had the contractor in rough out brown I’d order them as well. So price/fit/availability and 2 pairs of the quality boots for 1 pair of Nicks/Franks/Whites, gotta make you wonder….
They remind me of the White's 350 Cruiser or Cutter boots. My Thursdays are made in Mexico and they are just fine. No flaws or defects. I have an easier time getting boots from there and then I do with China. When you cut them, you can see if they are built for the price. Would like to see some Russell's cut apart. Want to get a pair, but they cost as much as Whites or Nick's.
I have these exact boots. Got them from Bakers for $250 as they were irregulars when I dropped by their store looking for laces. Would enjoy seeing them cut in half!
Regions of Mexico are well known for their boot/shoe manufacturing. They also have similar QC guidelines to the US. If you get boots from Mexico, be happy. Oh yeah, and these boots share a striking resemblance to White’s Cruisers.
YES. Been waiting for this video haha. I absolutely love my Drews Loggers and my 8in work boots in rowdy leather with the mini lug sole. Crazy quality for the price!
I own this exact pair, and I also own Nicks and White. if we are talking about comfort, this modified 55 last is unbeatable, but my good-looking boots are the Nicks's urban loggers. I think if you want a pair of affordable PNW-style boots, this is the first choice.
I just got a pair out older Drew's boots that were never worn so still new. Mine have a cap toe but look just like the contractors. I'd love to see them cut in half. They seem like very solidly built boots. I'd love to see the inner workings!! Please cut'em up!!!
I have a pair of these that I use for work but 8”. Best quality for just a bit more than boots that use much worse material. I wear a 10.5 gym shoe and went with a size 9 and it fits excellent! Takes a couple weeks to break in but it was comfortable the first time I put them on.
I don’t have a problem with them being made in Mexico as long as they are top quality. I appreciate hand made craftsmanship whether it’s from Spokane Washington, Leon Mexico or Indonesia. That said I do love my Nick’s builder pros and Franks Front range. I’d consider buying a pair of these boots you profiled in this video for casual wear.
Ive gor a pair of the 10" in roughout\smooth and a pair of the rowdy on the way. The smooth in the combo pair is grain corrected and really soft leather compared to my franks boots. Looking forward to the ups guy dropping of my new rowdy's today though.
I recently got a pair of their Mexican made loggers. The build quality and workmanship is excellent. However, they are more like a 6oz leather, and not the 7.5-8oz leather they advertise. The roughout versions also tend to be heavily sanded in the vamp to even out the finish, making it even thinner than 6oz. They are actually very nice boots, but keep that in mind when you get them. They are not NFPA rated boots I would recommend for firefighters or career woodsman. For that, stick to the MITUSA Drews Roughshot, Nicks, JK, Whites, Franks, etc. The Contractor series are probably the same or thicker, and I would definitely consider a pair of those. My roughout loggers are NOT nearly as thick as what Weston measured at 2.7mm.
I am very interested in the unboxin and cut in half of the loggers from Drew's. Mainly cuz I can afford those sooner than the PNW. Yes cut these as well!!!
I got a pair of these in December at Baker's and they're my favorite boots! The leather really does look and age not very differently from Horween Chromexcel in Natural. Aesthetically, the leather less consistent and looks like less of the grain judging by what the rough side looks like. They are made larger than most other brands and I went a full size down from Brannock (a White's 55 last fits me perfectly in 10.5D and my Drew's are 10D and a little loose). I love the extra room in the toe box. I'm tempted to get another pair in the brownish red color, but realistically I'll probably keep saving for a pair of Nick's.
I have a pair of these in a dark redish brown.....absolutely amazing. I prefer them to my other pnw boots and my redwings. Im happy to pay for high quantity and skilled labor regardless of origin. I followed the recommendation and went 1/2 size smaller, and the fit was perfect.
Got my Drews 10" Loggers back in Jan (Black Roughout) I can't recommend them enough, the only potential downside is the weight if your daily commute involves lots of stairs etc
I wore Red Wings for 15 years and they discontinued the lineman boot I always wore. I switched to Drew's Logger Boot two years ago and have been completing satisfied. Hard breakin but a great boot. 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. And 150 bucks cheaper on top of it all.
I have your kilties in my Drew's rowdy smooth work boots and they look slick... still have not fully broken them in yet... but that is because I got my MTO Nick's... but the Drew's are killer feeling and looking so far. The rowdy has been acting kind of like a pred orange... just not patinaing as dark.
I have a pair of their loggers, same 55 last. Im 12m last time I was measured on a brannock, at Red wings they measured me 11.75. I got the 11m and they are actually a little on the loose side for me, Im swimming in the toe area, heel area is pretty close though. I wear them to work on a rotation and Ive had 1 stitch come loose, burned it off and well see how that keeps holding. Overall pretty good boot though, the arch support is no joke. Ive broken in my arch completely months ago but its still always present and noticeable. People who like med/high arch will like that. Leather is thick as hell and they sure are heavy.
Guys, a few weeks ago i bought a pair of these same Drew's contractor boots from Bakers Boots. These are the best built boots i have besides my Chisos #2s. They were listed in their "final few" section. They were factory seconds for 295 bucks! They show the pic of the exact boot youll buy so you can see the blem. Mine just had a stitch or 2 that was long around the arch and IDGAF. Weston had noticed right away the pronounced arch - just like i did, lol. It was just right the second time i wore them, plus i got flat feet anyway so its probably good for me. For your reference i bought size 10.5D, im a true size 11D (11 inch / 28 cm). i wear 10.5D in Redwings and grant stone. Also, since they are in Oregon you won't get shanked for tax. For 300 bucks OTD, what more could you want?
I have the 8” of this boot. It’s my motorcycle riding boots. They are a beast , love the quality and the price is outstanding. I have Nicks,Whites and Grant Stones and this are on par with the PNW’s. Beware, the Toe box is wide.
I received these exact boots last week. They are heavy duty construction. Will take some time to break in. Go 1/2 size down from brannock size. I have slightly wider feet at an E size. Ordered EE and they are too wide. The D size on this boot is more like an E with plenty of width and height so your feet don't get squished. Leather is not perfect and you will find some imperfections. Combination of a dressier work boot. They do have a heel so you will stand about 2" taller. Good boot for slightly wider feet with mid to higher arches. Pretty indestructible and 1/2 the price of other PNW boots.
I would love to see these cut in half. Their price with the build quality looks incredible! My only concern would be the quality of the leather. I don’t know anything about the Seidel leather corp.
Would love to see both these boots cut in half but especially a review of the logger (rough out specifically for me) and how they stack up against the American boots, and particularly against Franks Patriot. Be cool to see 2 "budget" PNW boots go head to head. I live in the UK so shipping and tax is going to cost a fortune, these more affordable boots are probably the only way I could ever afford a pair of PNW boots Thanks again
I just picked up some Drew's Contractors Rogue's. I have to return them as the sock liner has a funky crease and hurts my arch, plus I only went a half size down from my standing brannock of 12 and they're a little big, so I'm returning them for a replacement att size 11. I'd love to see what's going on inside. If you get a moment to cut yours in half I'd enjoy the insight. Enjoy all your videos, super informative, thanks!
These look great, I would really like a pair with a toe cap like iron rangers. I really like the way they changed the last I have wide feet and I really don’t like my toes being squished together they look great
I ordered a pair of Drew’s loggers in Oct 2023 - they were happy to take my money. By Feb 2024 I hadn’t heard anything from them and had to call 4 times before I could get a straight answer which ended up being that the boots were still a month away (3 months longer than their advertised lead time) I said I wanted to cancel my order and suddenly the boots were only a week away! I still canceled my order to free up money to buy a pair of custom Jim Greens which came in a month. Drew’s could be the best boots in the world but if you can’t get your hands on them they might as well be an NFT.
Probably the best looking 55. I actually maybe get a pair, shame they don't have narrow versions of it. Linecutter seems the only one coming in c width. I hope you update us on the fit in the main video. With sizing down I always get that space between arch and ball of my foot that makes all kinds of pain so I'm curious to hear your experience
Please cut some Drews... they are on the blist of possible buy. I have Wesco, Nick's and Whites, looking to pick up Viberg, Truman and Drews to round out ... Drews seem to be a great value but I'd love to see the detail on construction that you can kind of only get with a cut in half video.
PLEASE cut them in half! Totally agree with their being lots of good arguments for/against foreign-made boots. I own boots made everywhere - I see them as just another flavor of boot to experience. If I was in the market for a boot like this, I'd consider them for sure.
Franks patriots anyone? $370 and made in spokane with everyone else to the same standards. Still shocked how few people know about them and even more shocked this channel hasn’t covered anything from Frank’s yet, and especially the patriot.
Two reasons to choose drews:1) better leather ( read : not made with parts of the hide that are generally discarded) .2 ) Can be rebuilt,unlike the Patriots. Actually let's throw a bonus one in 3) Drews offers a wider choice of leathers . 🥂
@@kartikchary the patriots are built with the same work leather as everyone else in the pnw. “Lesser” parts just means the stuff with scars and veins. Just as thick and quality as the rest of the range. They are absolutely rebuildable, but the cost is nearly as much as a brand new pair so Frank’s doesn’t offer to rebuild them. Color choice and lack of rough out as an option is the only real downside to the patriot. The leather is better than drews, it’s built in america, using american products, and you are supporting a small business. Moral victory for sure, product is equal or better depending on what you want. The Drew’s are on a different last which may be more desirable depending on the person. The only “negatives” to the patriot are lack of choice, and one less row of stitching.
Please do the loggers and review both I’ve been really interested but hesitant ( you posted this right after I went with the redwing moctoe bc of no info on these Drew’s )
if you're concerned in the slightest about spending the money..., get these.., they're 100% of the quality.. just get the 100 lug version.. its a stronger work oriented boot.. this rogue one is a little more style oriented
Well if you refuse to buy boots made in Mexico, you should also insist that Americans replace your next roof for twice the price, in a week instead of a day.
Honestly im not surprised, with the sheer amount of tanneries and leather workers present they can produce some insanely high quality footwear at a lower price
I’m combat veteran and i got my first pair in of Drew’s boots, and comparing them to JK boots, nicks, whites, I would say the drew boots are built like tanks and remember Mexico is a close trading partner to America. And tbh is my army combat boots were built like Drew’s boots they would have lasted me a whole lot longer
I’m so excited that you’re looking at these. They’re dominating my Facebook feed lately alongside Craft & Glory ads. Thankfully Portland Leather and others similar to it have died down for me after you and Stridewise’s reviews came out. I’ve been intrigued by the Drew’s logger and Frank’s Patriot at that price point. Having a more approachable boot for us office working wannabes with the logger heal without a $600-800 price tag is exciting.

I've got a brand new pair of Txture Sanity boots I'd like to give you if you cut in half and do a video. You will be amazed at the quality and price due these high quality boots!!!!
Much better than what this video is about!!!
How are these holding up? I bet there's a lot of folks that are as curious as I am to see how these are breaking in. Any little details or insights on these would be much appreciated! I've got a pair of JK Fire Inlanders in EE width that I love, and a pair of Drews Loggers that are way too small for me. The leather on the Drews Logger boots is wayyyy stiffer than the JK Fire Inlanders, but still seems to be of good quality.

I’m from northern Mexico and I know exactly what event you’re talking about. I love boots in part because of the smell. It reminds me of when my grandpa and my dad would take me boot shopping and when we would shine our boots, which we call “bolear”.
going to the local small square to get some shine is an "old man" thing I enjoy to do.
Yes please cut these in half!!! Ive been drooling over the red pair on their site and I wanna know if they stack up
Yes!!
No reason to cut in half. It’s all leather construction. Just not using leather from Chicago or Italy.
There are videos out where others have cut them in half... just look around
They have a pair of white's and drew's cut in half side by side at Baker's boots. Same construction
I got a pair in red or rogue I think they call it. The molded leather insole didn’t really break in *faster*, but it made the break in process far less agonizing. After a few weeks I had one loose thread on each boot which I cinched up with a lighter. Even after two months I still get some reddish dye on my socks when I wear white socks which I don’t do often. One sock liner has started to peel back, but the fit is so perfect for me I can’t notice it when I’m wearing them, only when I pull them off. Overall, these are fantastic boots. I may go with the 8” work boot next. That 55+ last is great for my feet.

Guys typing: Not supporting Mexico! on their iPhones made in China and driving their cars made in Korea or Japan :D
Stop trying to use logic, those folks only know the outrage they saw on Facebook.
all the boots & hats are made in Mexico 😂😂 just the company is from the US
@@Katiemtz099 so is the F150….merica?
It’s funny to me that so many America first bros don’t realize that Honda, Toyota, and Nissan have been building more cars and more overall vehicles in America than any of the “domestic” big three have for over a decade now. The trucks have had some or mostly built in the UsA claims for that time, but the suv and cars have overwhelmingly been offshored.

Quality knows no border, and supporting American now means supporting more things in America employing actual Americans at this point instead of just looking at legacy brand names.
Support people. There's people all over the world, Americans aren't the only ones who deserve to make things and live.
I have had the 8" Combo Brown Loggers for a bit over a year now, and I love my pair. Took a bit to break in the leather, but that modified 55 last feels great and supportive.

I bought my whites from Bakers. I worked with the owners on a custom set since I had an odd size. Nice guys, great to work with, very knowledgeable.

Drew’s now has made in the USA line, could be a good option to compare them.
I love my pair of Drew’s Loggers super comfortable and high quality
Finally review8ng Drew's I've been waiting to see your opinion before purchase
would like to see their rough out loggers on the channel!
Yeah support the USA first but Id sure rather support Mexico than China.
Maybe have a "Made in Mexico" series? There's Duradero, Dievier, Wilcox, Cordobes, and probably others I haven't heard of.
I really want to see into how they make the boots down there in Leon. Us Mexicans have a long history of Cobblers
I own this exact pair, and I also own Nicks and White. if we are talking about comfort, this modified 55 last is unbeatable, but my good-looking boots are the Nicks's urban loggers. I think if you want a pair of affordable PNW-style boots, this is the first choice.

Awesome : ) i wear the combo Loggers every day at work!! Got into PNWs bc of your channel 😁
They're just as good as my White's n Nick's
PLEASE do the Logger unboxing, I'm super interested in a pair...
I have a pair of these that I use for work but 8”. Best quality for just a bit more than boots that use much worse material.
I wear a 10.5 gym shoe and went with a size 9 and it fits excellent!
Takes a couple weeks to break in but it was comfortable the first time I put them on.

Awesome!! Have you ever dissected a pair of Unmarked boots? I’ve heard these are also stellar boots made in Mexico
I love my Drew’s! I would love to see a cut down and for you to review their loggers and/or their cowboy boots!
Thanks, I’ve been very curious about Drew’s. They look great.
Wooo been waiting to see a review on the Drew’s!
Ive gor a pair of the 10" in roughout\smooth and a pair of the rowdy on the way. The smooth in the combo pair is grain corrected and really soft leather compared to my franks boots. Looking forward to the ups guy dropping of my new rowdy's today though.

Please do an onsite video with Baker Drews for how small their shop is in Oregon they are making some fantastic made in America stuff also...

Love these 2 channel videos.
In the video you went a full size down from Brannock. How did the boots fit? Were they to small or right on the money? Love the channel!
I have a pair of their loggers, same 55 last. Im 12m last time I was measured on a brannock, at Red wings they measured me 11.75. I got the 11m and they are actually a little on the loose side for me, Im swimming in the toe area, heel area is pretty close though. I wear them to work on a rotation and Ive had 1 stitch come loose, burned it off and well see how that keeps holding. Overall pretty good boot though, the arch support is no joke. Ive broken in my arch completely months ago but its still always present and noticeable. People who like med/high arch will like that. Leather is thick as hell and they sure are heavy.
Those are really nice. I try to limit myself to only American made boots or I would get carried away.

I am very interested in their Trevor cowboy boot as well. I would like to see how it stacks up against Chisos for almost half the price...
I have the 8” of this boot. It’s my motorcycle riding boots. They are a beast , love the quality and the price is outstanding. I have Nicks,Whites and Grant Stones and this are on par with the PNW’s. Beware, the Toe box is wide.
The sides of the upper are touching over the tongue when you laced them up. That's only gonna get worse as they get broken in.
Look Nice, take the 1/2” rubber heel block off and use a thin one theyd look less lady/lifting effect, pretty heavy tho
I received these exact boots last week. They are heavy duty construction. Will take some time to break in. Go 1/2 size down from brannock size. I have slightly wider feet at an E size.

Good boot for slightly wider feet with mid to higher arches. Pretty indestructible and 1/2 the price of other PNW boots.
I would love to see these cut in half. Their price with the build quality looks incredible! My only concern would be the quality of the leather. I don’t know anything about the Seidel leather corp.
I would love to see a video on the loggers too. Great videeo
You got to.get the logger. It's made with thicker lether
and fully gussetted
Yes yes I’ve been dying to see their loggers
Aw man I love my drew logger boots I'd be willing to send mine in if you want a pair to cut apart. Gives me a reason to get a new pair
Drew’s. Not Drew.
Would love to see both these boots cut in half but especially a review of the logger (rough out specifically for me) and how they stack up against the American boots, and particularly against Franks Patriot. Be cool to see 2 "budget" PNW boots go head to head.
I live in the UK so shipping and tax is going to cost a fortune, these more affordable boots are probably the only way I could ever afford a pair of PNW boots
Thanks again
I just picked up some Drew's Contractors Rogue's. I have to return them as the sock liner has a funky crease and hurts my arch, plus I only went a half size down from my standing brannock of 12 and they're a little big, so I'm returning them for a replacement att size 11. I'd love to see what's going on inside. If you get a moment to cut yours in half I'd enjoy the insight. Enjoy all your videos, super informative, thanks!
These look great, I would really like a pair with a toe cap like iron rangers. I really like the way they changed the last I have wide feet and I really don’t like my toes being squished together they look great
Would love to see more from Drew’s!
Please make a logger unboxing as well as a cut in half for these guys!
Love to see a cut in half boot of the japanese brand "Rolling Dub Trio" !
I ordered a pair of Drew’s loggers in Oct 2023 - they were happy to take my money. By Feb 2024 I hadn’t heard anything from them and had to call 4 times before I could get a straight answer which ended up being that the boots were still a month away (3 months longer than their advertised lead time) I said I wanted to cancel my order and suddenly the boots were only a week away! I still canceled my order to free up money to buy a pair of custom Jim Greens which came in a month. Drew’s could be the best boots in the world but if you can’t get your hands on them they might as well be an NFT.
Probably the best looking 55. I actually maybe get a pair, shame they don't have narrow versions of it. Linecutter seems the only one coming in c width. I hope you update us on the fit in the main video. With sizing down I always get that space between arch and ball of my foot that makes all kinds of pain so I'm curious to hear your experience
Please cut some Drews... they are on the blist of possible buy. I have Wesco, Nick's and Whites, looking to pick up Viberg, Truman and Drews to round out ... Drews seem to be a great value but I'd love to see the detail on construction that you can kind of only get with a cut in half video.
I've been looking at this exact boot for the last few days.
PLEASE cut them in half! Totally agree with their being lots of good arguments for/against foreign-made boots. I own boots made everywhere - I see them as just another flavor of boot to experience. If I was in the market for a boot like this, I'd consider them for sure.
Franks patriots anyone? $370 and made in spokane with everyone else to the same standards. Still shocked how few people know about them and even more shocked this channel hasn’t covered anything from Frank’s yet, and especially the patriot.
That’s a good looking boot.
Just going to flood them with new orders. Then prices will double plus 2 year wait time.
Two reasons to choose drews:1) better leather ( read : not made with parts of the hide that are generally discarded) .2 ) Can be rebuilt,unlike the Patriots. Actually let's throw a bonus one in 3) Drews offers a wider choice of leathers . 🥂
@@kartikchary the patriots are built with the same work leather as everyone else in the pnw. “Lesser” parts just means the stuff with scars and veins. Just as thick and quality as the rest of the range. They are absolutely rebuildable, but the cost is nearly as much as a brand new pair so Frank’s doesn’t offer to rebuild them. Color choice and lack of rough out as an option is the only real downside to the patriot. The leather is better than drews, it’s built in america, using american products, and you are supporting a small business. Moral victory for sure, product is equal or better depending on what you want. The Drew’s are on a different last which may be more desirable depending on the person. The only “negatives” to the patriot are lack of choice, and one less row of stitching.
I guess an important thing to remember is that Frank's comparably priced patriot is made in the US
Please do the loggers too!
Please do the loggers and review both I’ve been really interested but hesitant ( you posted this right after I went with the redwing moctoe bc of no info on these Drew’s )
Please do a 'Craft and Glory' boot review.
Truman Boots!! When? 😊
I asked this yesterday and my question got deleted so I just asked it again.
I’d love to see Truman as well
What about gokey
@@javiervega1065 Exactly they have a long history.
They're cool but the leather blemish would drive me nuts until they got scuffed and beat up
Would love to see a cut-in-half!
Pls do the logger really considering buying some
YES to Logger unboxing and cut in half! I am on the verge of buying a pair or will it be JK's? Or Drews? Man I can't decide!
if you're concerned in the slightest about spending the money..., get these.., they're 100% of the quality.. just get the 100 lug version.. its a stronger work oriented boot.. this rogue one is a little more style oriented
The boots at 2:44 look polished. Maybe just new, but they look good.
I got a pair of this. Very nice boot and quality for 380.
Well if you refuse to buy boots made in Mexico, you should also insist that Americans replace your next roof for twice the price, in a week instead of a day.
That 6" Rogue Smooth looks NICE. Definitely want to see the innards of this boot. Fire up the band saw!
there's other videos from regular consumers that have cut them in half.. everything they say is inside, is inside
I would like to hear your opinion on the loggers.
Honestly im not surprised, with the sheer amount of tanneries and leather workers present they can produce some insanely high quality footwear at a lower price
Would love to see these compared to JK 300’s- which is the better $380 boot?
I have slender ankle and shin too. The only boot that fit me is from Nick's , because they can size down the upper for me.
I’m combat veteran and i got my first pair in of Drew’s boots, and comparing them to JK boots, nicks, whites, I would say the drew boots are built like tanks and remember Mexico is a close trading partner to America. And tbh is my army combat boots were built like Drew’s boots they would have lasted me a whole lot longer
I recommend their boot jack. Top quality, better than White's.
The 10" loggers are killer
I’m so excited that you’re looking at these. They’re dominating my Facebook feed lately alongside Craft & Glory ads. Thankfully Portland Leather and others similar to it have died down for me after you and Stridewise’s reviews came out.
I’ve been intrigued by the Drew’s logger and Frank’s Patriot at that price point. Having a more approachable boot for us office working wannabes with the logger heal without a $600-800 price tag is exciting.
I want a wide dress shoe that’s made out of badass take-a-beating boot leather.
Great looking boots! I’ve been eyeing up Drew’s boots for a while… I’m very interested in what’s on the inside. All thick leather I’m sure.
Are we ever going to get a review or cut in half video?
John Doe shoes, they make a specific to motorcycles with reinforcements for added protection.
Please get the logger boots! It would be so beneficial for us to see what's going in there for 350 dollars!
The knife is a Leek, but it’s not the Random Leek. The Random Leek is a different blade shape. Both are EDC classics 👌
Does anyone know the sizing comparison with Grant Stone's Edward boot? What size for Drews if im wearing Grant Stone Edwards in 8E
I order pair of there loggers but after waiting 4 months I canceled the order and order a pair of Franks Patriot boots
Definitely want the loggers too
Amazing boots, wow ❤
Iv been waiting on you to cut a pair of drews
I am SOLD
ordered a pair of roughouts
Rose Anvil channel is why I started buying PNW style boots
