I got my Franks in November, and the Quality is the Best I have ever seen!! They have been Hell to Break in, but they are getting better every day.
I use a Stiff Brush to clean them Every Sunday, and Apply some Obenaufs Oil afterwards. I’m in them 12hrs a day, 6 days a week, in Mud, Water, Lime Dirt, and Clay. Gotta keep them Clean, and take care of them, if you want them to Last!!
Love the Videos Man
You mentioned being in "mud and water" ... are these Waterproof? If not do they carry waterproof? Thanks
@@BumpNrun69 most of their boots are by design, water proof, not necessarily meant to be drenched all day.
It all comes down to the fact the leather is 7 to 8 oz leather which is literally the highest usable quality leather feom the top 3 leather manufacturers (they make the leather but they dye, tumble, add oils and waxes its a whole thing you should look into one day, its pretty cool).
That also dictates how water proof they are. They make leather with more oils and waxes which consequently make it more water proof
You gotta think of it like ur skin.
You can dunk ur arm in water and its nit going to seap thru into ur body. Its kinda like the same principle.
If you covered ur arm in wax and then dunked in the water, the water would just bead off of it.
Anyway, leather is naturally water resistant. You can buy both, a leather that is treated for this, and then add oils or waxes designed to help make it even more water proof.
They really are not meant to be standing in water all day. However, if u walk thru a creek or something you will not have wet feet with pretty much any boot they offer unless it goes up above the top.
Just watch a bunch if videos, pick a style you like and if you want water proofing, get the leather that they offer to be the most water proof, each leather brand calls it their own name.
I agree with you I didn’t think I was a boot guy, but that’s all I wear even when am not at work their more comfortable then my sneakers to be honest, I’ve got three pairs of Nicks, I think I’ll probably try Franks next 👍
Dude's channel should read, "Generic Trailer Trash Ink."
You need to oil your boots bud. I’ve seen some of your other videos, and the boots are cracking. You gotta put the oil and grease to them. Take care of your investment. Good luck.
Them boots seen use. Good review
Funny megalovania
Go to nicks or any cobbler or boot place and pick up a leather kit.
Should have a boar hair brush can even buy a brush at Walmart or wherever that ud usually see black guys brushing their hair with, i like those brushes and never knew they existed until I enlisted in the army lol.
You really need to clean and condition those boots mate, they will last a lifetime if you do and they are not cheap boots they are awesome
The white stains on your ariats is salt from sweat
Hey men , nice video thank you for your time and effort. I am between hardest choice " Nick's, Frank's, Jk " , just can't decide , ETA for Nick's -16 weeks, Frank's -10-12, JK boots -8-10 weeks .
Dude's channel should read, "Generic Trailer Trash Ink."
Your channel should read "unoriginal backwoods loser"
Probably can't afford a pair of these boots anyways so don't waste your time watching these kind of videos.
Only a cucked out toothless wonder like yourself would feel the need to leave this comment, and also think it was clever 😆
This guy knows absolutely nothing about boots....do not waste your time.
If you had any questions or were curious about different brands of boots you will not learn anything here.
It's some random dude showing off his horribly mistreated and advised collection of mid model boots.
AVOID....DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME
😆 You wasted your time leaving this comment. Calm down boot gate keeper. Always get comments from weirdos like yourself and it's OK. I get you're an over obsessed boot guy and you're having a melt down
Just breathe 😆
Thanks for watching ✌️
@@NomadicINK my time was a worthy sacrifice for some other poor soul, hard working American looking for answers and an educated comparison of the brands, before I stumbled across your retardation of content. I'm glad my comments struck a chord with your narcissist ass. I imagine the rest of your content to be just as awful, don't worry I will not be wasting my time.
PSA
Dude's channel should read, "Generic AF Ink."
Hey Fagboy, what city are you in?
Ok so... I’ve been eyeing some Nicks for a while... but something is telling me I may want to try Franks. Partially because of all the fine print on Nicks website and all the upcharges. Like $50 for fit sheet evaluation. It’s not a dealbreaker but I guess what I need to know is- is Frank’s as good as Nick’s?
Yeah order from Frank's. The boot quality is aa good if not better. Frank used to be partners in nicks. And then went on his own. Great guy too. Give em try and tell em I sent ya.
Type1 commanders are 1 of their toughest boots
I love your boots. Great stuff. VERY NICE.
WOW. Great collection of boots. Really great video.
Looks like maybe some salt from sweat on the Ariat boots. I've used white vinegar lightly on a rag to pull salt stains out of leather boots while cleaning. Don't go crazy with it. just when needed, and fallow with a full cleaning, and conditioning probably that bick conditioner or something else that won't darken them up if you're not trying to darken lighter leathers. Do more videos on you taking care of your leather. It's a great way to have more content, and you also have the benefit of your boots and bags not dry rotting out, because you are doing the maintenance the leather guys wanna see too. More content is always better for your channel.
Dude deletes comments he doesn't like....'cause of feelings and stuff
I've never deleted a comment. I let dumb shits like yourself comment whatever you like but I will dumbasand let you know you're an idiot.
Obenaufs is the best hands down
I'm thinking about getting Nick's. Thanks for the review
Check out the Frank's boots I got. I'm really happy with the boot and the service I got. Nicks would be my 2nd choice and whites 3rd. I just sent back a pair to white the didn't size me right.
Are you conditioning your boots at all? I've noticed you talk about your leather drying out. if so i got alot of experience conditioning boots, and can offer my opinion. it really helps extending the lifespan of the leather. keep up the good work bro!
Saddle Soap for cleaning, obenhaufs oil to condition/break in and a light coat of obenhaufs LP for protection… will make your boots last a lifetime 😉
Crispy! I use Huberds Shoe Grease. You gotta clean those suckers first though. Usually a firm brush. Bring'em back to life. Its very satisfying. Lol! DB.
Have you ever tried thorogood heritage or Redwings or Irish setters? Let me know what you think
Stiff brush and obenauf's leather conditioner does the boot good.
Awesome White's boots.. I hand em before there where comfortable.. used it when I fought fire's for 4 years..
Dude I have Ariats Those are my go to.
To keep your boots from becoming crispy critters use Neats Foot Oil. Your boots will last you forever and all you will need to do to them is get them resoled . Use neats foot oil on your boots every 3 to 6 months.
@UCOYPyI8QMaOBMHw_hEcfN9A I also work construction (both inside buildings and outside on roads/highways). I am debating between the Nick's and the Frank's. I have read both of their stories and seen both websites. I am debating with either the Frank's Commander or the Builder Pro. Can you offer any suggestions as to which ones you like better and why?
Also, what type of arch would you suggest?
Thank you.
Hey Benjamin did you ever pick a boot? I'm in the same spot as you, which boot to pick 🤔
Steven Cantwell, I went with the Frank’s Boots. They didn’t seem to want to restrict my choices and they don’t charge for the fit sheet. Nick’s does. Also, Frank’s picked up the phone and answered my questions. The staff at Nick’s never called or emailed me back. Frank’s had incredible customer service.
I have a set of 10” Type One Commanders being built. Black smooth over black rough with steel toe & toe cap.
The store is about 10-12 weeks out on their builds currently.
@@btuthill9653 nice choice, I'm gonna do the same but in walnut,thanks for the response
Company provided our mandatory work boots. Steel toe with metatarsal but there were 2 pins that went from metatarsal to steel toe that tore up your feet especially when new. A buddy couldn't take it and bought top of the line red wing boots for big bucks. Far superior but they said he wasn't allowed to work in them ? Toes all deformed from constant pressure. Good boots are everything when your on your feet all day.
I get diesel, grease, and engine oil on my whites all the time. Every once in a while I put some boot grease on them and the leather still feels new. I use the whites brand grease.
You gotta clean them before you put the whites stuff on them because all that grease and oil from work breaks down the leather and you wanna get it all off instead of sealing in with the whites product which is just repackaged obenaufs.
@@mattleonard5268 Most beeswax based boot greases are pretty similar to each other with a few little tweaks to the formula.
I think I've finally convinced myself to try out a pair of custom boots. I'm going with the logger "builder pro" style. Problem is, I can't decide if I should go with Nick's or JK. Anyone have experience with both and if so, which do you prefer?
Don't go with jk. Haven't had them but I got a terrible experience when I went to his shop.
Nicks are great to be honest I'm thinking about getting another pair.
If suggest checking out Frank's boots though. Maybe a little better price and they are really friendly and helpful.
If you get ahold of them Tell Frank or Jr I said
hello
Its been over a year, did you ever get em?
Isopropyl alcohol and water to clean that salt from your cowboy boots.
Thanks I'll try that
I do a bit of sheetrock, tiling, and general carpentry. In my experience, caked on drywall dust/joint compound dust, thinset, and mud really dry out leather boots. After work every other day, just take a wet sponge or damp cloth and wipe off your boots. I can see them drying out and this little bit of maintenance will go a long way.
Like your boot videos
I have Ariat Sierras and they sure as hell take beatings , I’m looking into getting some thorogood boots though 🤔
That white stuff on your Ariat Ramblers is sweat lol. The water just lifted it all to the surface and left all the salt when it evaporated.
Kevlar laces last forever.
GREG MAFFEI I take out brand new laces and put in Kevlar... and Idk if they wax them or some other kind of coating but besides lasting forever they lace up better and stay tied
Has he done a video about how he got into doing drywall and starting his own company and stuff? Also how he got into the drywall union
Those are two really good video ideas. Maybe I'll work on that. Thank you for the comment
Yes I remember when you did the boot series. I was educated about men's boots, very interesting.
Love your boot reviews and you boot shop videos. I have an order of franks boots, just waiting for the call back on sizing, and it has a lot to do with your videos. Thanks a bunch. Keep it up
Let them know I said hello! And come back and let us all know how the boots are once you get them! Thanks
Frank's has the best customer service
I like those Nick boots.
You are a great boot dad!... Those Nicks are perfect... I dont blame you for not oiling them or cleaning them... Just makes them hot boots!
Sweet collection of boots. Keep us posted on your new boots once they come in. How long have you been waiting so far. Also,. Do more boot reviews!!!!!
Those box toes look like they have salt damage. I would use saddlesoap to deal with that
Thanks for the video I'd love boots to are any your boots for sell.
Thanks for the update. I'm sending a pair of Whites to Franks to have rebuilt. I gotta disagree with you about the the leather boot laces. I had them on my whites and it was sometime during my first week that I broke the first one. I never went back to them.
I'm a wesco man myself.
I have a pair of Frank's on order right now! Hope to get them soon!!!
After you get a make sure you come back let us all know how you like them how everything turned out for you. Thanks for the comment I appreciate you
@@NomadicINK I will for sure. Keep up the videos on boots. I enjoy watching them.
A year later how are your Franks boots?
@@40SnWfan honestly I can say it took a long time to break them in and get them to were they didn’t hurt my feet. Now my franks are the most comfortable boots I have ever put on and I can say they are worth every Penney I spent on them!
You should check out jk custom boots. They are a smaller boot maker in Spokane building the same kind of boots. I just ordered my 2nd pair of fire boots from them. Customer service and attention to detail is 2nd to none since they are a smaller family company.
I know who they are. I've gone to the store. I haven't exactly had the best encounter with them so I would not recommend myself. But I'm assuming he makes good boots.
That sucks because they build an excellent boot. From another custom work boot enthusiast thanks for the content.
I can't really say anything bad about them. I know they make great boots. I tried to film a tour and they just weren't having it.
From what I hear people have been happy with their boots.
My Frank's are ok. Had to ship them back a few times to correct a few things. They were a pleasure to deal with however. Process took forever though. I'm all the way in New York State so it was about 11months all said and done. I've had them about a month now. They fit nice but are totally different from left to right. The boots aren't symmetrical. The toe box on the left boot is noticably longer and bulbous. More clown shoes like. Right boot looks awesome. I know it's cosmetic, but I'd like my $550 boots to at least look ok. Lol.
That's messed up. You've got to send them in and get a refund atleast. There's always a chance boots from any of the top will be defaulted thats why they have a 2nds and return rack at the stores. They'll resale them at discount to someone later.
Either have them make a new pair of get some whites or nicks made.
Its a lot to spend if you don't want to wear them.
Sorry you had a lame experience with all that
@@NomadicINK I sent them back. They said they're going to rebuild them free of charge and they're going to bump them to the front of the line. We'll see how it goes.
@@RobertWilliams-ox4hz hey Robert did you ever get your boots taken care of from the mix up they did
@@stevec2569All fixed. They ended just making me a new pair of boots from scratch.
They have a site
I think the Nicks boots are to far gone for a rebuild, dawn soap to clean and Huberds Shoe grease to keep them from drying out.
timberlands all the way braddah!
