    Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
    I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well and allows you to own less and own better.

    Great video as always, Carl! You covered all the bases well. Nothing new here. Whites and Nicks made Drew's Logger for many years. Drews took a USA made boot across the border, making it affordable. When a brand doesn't actually make boots, they have to find someone to make it for them, and the PNW boot capacity is full. Hats off to Drews. When you buy a pair of Nicks, you are supporting a brand and our US workforce.

    Carl, first off, I love your stuff. Rarely missing an episode over the last 18 months since finding your channel. I purchased a pair of Nicks not long after your vid on the Builder Pro, and I love them, but, living in Eastern Montana, I wanted a back-up pair and didn't want to dump another $650 for a second pair (threw out all of my other boots, BTW). I suffer a similar issue to you...short wide feet that love a high arch (9 EE...that could easily be and F with wool socks). I ran across Drews while searching for a solution and decided...eventually, with the complete lack of reviews on them, to give them a chance. It's only $350. I've spent much more over the years in shorter periods of time on footwear. I almost hate to admit it, being a huge supporter of "Made in the USA", but, I wear the Drews as a daily driver and use the Nicks as the back-up. The Drews were instantly comfortable right out of the box. The shaft was stiff for a week or two but the foot bed was phenomenal on day one. I wore them for roughly 2 hours the day they arrived, working around the house and shop, without issue, hot spots or pinching (not so for the Nicks). Not surprisingly, the shafts were a bit tough and thick, like the Nicks. But, only took a week to be completely comfortable around my ankle. 5 months later, I'm still struggling with the foot bed of my Nicks. They're fine for 10 to 12 hours but, by then, I can't wait to get them off. My work days are long and, like other men with homes, I have more things to contend with when I get home. The footwear has to handle the beating. A great example...this last Friday (March 31st) I had a show in another town (this could be a bit long, so heads up). I wake up at 3:30 pretty much every day. Did the morning reunite, strapped the Drews on at roughly 4:30 am and headed out for work. Finished work, changed and traveled to the other town for the show...still in the Drews. Sumed up...I had the Drews on my feet for 21 hours. It felt like I'd been wearing my favorite slippers all day. Spent an hour in the hotel room before I realized that I still had my boots on. In short (since I assume you read all of this) I agree...the Drews are every bit PNW for half the price and less than half the break-in. Keep it up, brother!

    Another great FYI video. I also wear pull on boots a bit to if I'm banging on my anvil or in barns. Pull on boots is where I learned of the boot makers in Leon Mexico. There's alot of interesting history if your into that. The bootmaking processes have been passed down from generations there and they really know what they are doing.

    The full leather internal toe (rather than celastic) and formed left and right shanks, plus the formed insole and modified 55 last make these top notch. I love mine, and would pay the 575 for them if made in the Pacific Northwest.
    Paying fantastic bootmakers in Leon is a great investment. For me, and for keeping great paying jobs in Mexico. My relatives live there and they are hardworking wonderful people! They lift where they stand, so to speak, and are actually more successful than much of my family up here!

    Carl, thanks for doing this review! I've been looking at Drew's boots for some months, wondering how they compared to the other PNW brands. I have some Nicks Overlanders and love them. They were my "gateway drug". I have friends that need good boots but refuse to spend $600 for them, so I'll share your review with them. Good job, once again, sir. The one important thing about these boots is they don't have a narrow width to order....it's either medium or wide. Those of us that went to Nicks, etc. to get a custom fit with narrow feet can't get it with these Drew's. 😕

    But wanted to say Drew’s took your suggestion and the top is an eyelet (despite the website still having speed hook at the top).

    To your point regarding the pre molded insole. Yes it may take a little longer to make it but I don’t know why it’s not done across the board for all handmade boots. The bespoke custom boot/shoe makers take an impression of the foot and build around that. Yes, the end result is more expensive but likely very much worth it.

    So... I ordered up some franks this summer. After 6 weeks of breaking them in, i love them. The 8" height is perfect.
    The aggressive arch and last(made on the 55) soon made my feet hurt if i threw on my chippewas.
    Well, i like having a couple pairs of boots to rotate.
    I ordered up a pair of the Drews Loggers in 8".
    The modified 55 last is a bit different than the standard 55.
    I called Drews and asked if i should measure, or trust that its the same. They said trust it. So i did. But I had to add an insole for optimized fit. Which isn't necessarily bad.
    Also, the new ones have an eye on the top. So they fixed that issue you had!
    Also. The website says 3-4 months. But my order was 3 weeks!
    One nag is i prefer the Vibram V- bar or mini lug vs the maxi lug.
    My recommendation is to measure even if you know your PNW size.

      Update to my comment: these are still good enough boots. But these are not made of a Full Grain Leather. The rough out is rough on both sides. The smooth is a corrected grain smooth.
      That is not to say they are bad.

    Picked up the 8-inch work boot and the craftsman boot. They are very good quality. Actually, the same boot with just different heights and soles. Only thing I noticed is width seems slightly wider than a normal D width. Some slight heel slip. Just put in some thin inserts for now. Comfortable out of the box. The regular leather ones do come with some sort of coating over the leather. Got a pair of the craftsman ones from Bakers Boots that were 100 dollars off due to some minor scuffing on the fronts. Got them and one place looked like a tear in the leather, but it was just whatever they are coating them with. Just came right off with the leather being fine.

Both are nice, but I paid more to receive the slightIy better made and more comfortable Luccheses. But if you don't look at the label inside, it's hard to tell them apart. I would see this same possibility with the Drews boots. I see these Drews as a win-win for those looking for work boots. Nice find Carl!!

    Great content but the silhouette of the Drew’s boot just seems off to me. The front just seems short compared to the Nicks or Whites loggers.

If anyone cares one of my favorite Leather brands is Wills Leather Good, and they have been having there products manufactured in Mexico for awhile now and Mexico has some great craftsman that don’t get enough recognition.

    For someone without the convictions to finally buy a built for life 100% made in USA boot Drew’s is a great option. I have nothing against foreign workers but rather the manufacturing companies the foreign works are employed by that are majorly “getting one over” on the people crafting these boots. From what I have seen they by all rights are making a boot of similar quality to ones that cost $600(base) and selling them for almost half that. Businesses won’t take that cost savings off of the “top end” they almost always take it out of the bottom end meaning the Individuals actually crafting these boots are not getting paid what they are worth. (My opinion) foreign workers are not our enemy. It’s anybody (USA-based or otherwise) that is trying to put one over on these skilled craftspeople no matter what part of the world they are in. Heck even the owner and founder of JK boots (relative newcomer in PNW work-boot makers) is a Ukrainian immigrant. If someone wants to buy these boots that’s totally cool. However I won’t because I know somewhere along the way a guy not too different from me gets shafted on his wages in order for me to buy it at a lower price. I personally am no longer cool with that. I wore Timberlands and foreign made redwings and Wolverines for years and A couple years ago I just slowly started replacing things in my wardrobe with good high quality American made stuff once those individual items broke. I have not looked back… it’s been a great decision.

    Options are good. Drews are a quality PNW-type boot at a reasonable cost. $350 is no small cost to the average worker either, but more workers will take a plunge at $350 as opposed to $600, that is human nature. Carl makes a great point about these being an eventual bridge to legitimate PNW built boots. Of course, with rebuildable boots, that could take awhile. Hathorns used to fill that niche as a bridge boot, but these Drews look to fall somewhere between a re-soleable Hathorn and Whites/Nicks rebuildables.

    If just one of these pacific northwest boot companies would just come up with a functional well designed side zippered logger-styled boot so I and a bunch of other hombres who still work with back injuries could get them on and off quickly would be so appreciated. I have even contacted many of them to see if I could get a custom pair made but to no avail.

    Personal review here:
    They have amazing build quality and Drews logger last is amazing with its arch support and toe room. The arch is at the perfect spot under my foot, my toes have just enough room, and the balls of my feet are at the perfect spot of the boot.
    The downside for me, their unique gimmick of a high instep works against me. My feet are always sliding, floating up and down, and the leather around the instep bunches up a lot more compared to other PNW boots. I haven't seen anybody complain about that aspect so I'm probably in the minority for that.

    A great choice for wildland firefighter boots for the price. My only issue was a very stiff insole which was solved by buying orthopedic insoles and breaking-in takes a little a longer compared to other boots.
    Overall, highly recommended boot.

      ​@@souldiarrhea I've yet to have a deployment where they do boot checks, and I'd still trust the screw down soles without a NFPA rating better than a glued on sole with one from the likes of Danner or other similar styles of boots.

    I brought mine just arrived a bit of a let down the stitching has been missed/popped on most of the right toebox and the nap is so uneven compared to the left boot. Have reached out to Drews, was so ready to hit the trials. I'm not annoyed just shocked they were paired up together think durability shouldn't be affected too much bad they look a wee bit whacky.

    Hello Carl Murawski, thx for the videos--very informative. A work shoe worthy of checking out is the Skecher Mariner oxford. It's not a boot, but it's built like a tank. It reminds me of an oxford logging boot. Very affordable and tough. These shoes will probably be more comfortable to most with a good insole insert. Price range about $70. Check them out.

    In WWII the GIs would pour water into their boots, let stand for two hrs, wipe them out with newspaper and wear until dry. Boots are going to get wet anyway. As long as there is no cardboard in the boots you can break them in in this way in a day.

    So with these you size down 1 or 1.5 I typically wear an 11 basically no matter if it’s shoe or boot and it’s a good fit. I got some thorogoods in a 10.5 wide and I almost never wear them now due to toe jam. I used to wear 11.5 in sneakers before when I thought my feet were going to still grow. Think ordering a 10 will be fine?
