Who Am I?
I am a Management Consultant in real life but in my Bootlosophy channel, I make videos about boots and all things boot related. This channel posts reviews of boots, unboxing of new boots, and follow-up reviews, and in doing so, may explore the philosophy of the brands and makers as well as the collectors!
In this channel, I will give information found in my research about the brand, the construction, and the materials, but I will express my personal opinions about how I feel about the boots reviewed.
Full Disclosure
If any video is sponsored, I will declare it clearly in the video and in the description. Even if a video is sponsored, I will review the product openly and honestly giving you my personal opinion, warts and all, of the product.

That heel top lift they used is alarmingly thin for a new boot. It's going to wear down super quickly into the leather heel stack. I wouldn't be surprised if it needed to be replaced after just a few wears on concrete.

[@Bluerig-qf2xc]

Finally, a heritage boot with a wide toebox!

[@tony_r_pierce]

Thanks for your reviews of this brand. I like to support the smaller makers and even one-man artists. They are typically willing to provide for a wide range of options and the purchase experience can feel better in some ways.

[@derrickmartin9717]

I have ordered the same boot in chocolate roughout. Should be here next week. Alfonso is a gem.

[@pedrovilchez1688]

Nice looking boots

[@DarthSpartanus]

If cordobes fixed the part of the pattern that makes the tongue stitching poke out from the quarters I'd so be there man.

[@AmarLaghari]

The cheapest flame panda runs for 3000RMB on Taobao (400USD), yes it’s a 9 months wait(def longer than that) and yes (you get a reply when they feel like to) but the bang for buck exceeds grant stone (if you don’t value grant stones amazing customer services and fast delivery)

[@BOEHHO89]

They remind me of Timberland boots .

[@mitchellhalpern6796]

I received my first pair of Cordobes a few weeks ago. Excellent fit and construction for the price, but I did have to have my local cobbler trim the gusset so my ultra high insteps could pass through

[@jeffbonnell1868]

I have to do the same.

[@Bootlosophy]

Mine seemed to pass through fine

[@cordobesboots]

This is very insightful! Thank you for your feedback

[@mitchellhalpern6796]

FWIW I have to do the same gusset trimming for White’s and Truman

[@TheHonarable1]

Gotta say I'm not a fan of the aesthetics of this boot. The short heal with the bulbous toe looks weird to me..I much prefer the looks of Bordon but they are also more expensive. Another awesome video BTW.

[@user-dl3zt6lj3m]

Yes I have to agree that what struck me most was the short heel, which I don’t think suits the otherwise rugged look.

[@TheHonarable1]

@@user-dl3zt6lj3m and the bigger your foot the weirder it will look imo

[@laurademarrais3248]

May I ask: how many pair of boots do you have? 😂

[@Bootlosophy]

I’m a boot reviewer so I have a lot! There would be a lot of repeated boring videos if I only had 5! 😂😂😂
