What did you do to get problems fixed on boots made in Indonesia? Having issues with a Txture pair of boots. They were extremely helpful until I asked them to actually fix the problem. No answer of any kind after contacting them 4 + times. NO REPLY.. As great as these boots are, funny but from them, because if there is a problem, they will not help fix the problem!!!!!!
I used to be a mountaineer. Back in the 90’s or early 2000’s there was a controversy around leather boots vs plastic. The plastic were like articulated or more flexible ski boots. They were waterproof but poor breathability etc. I had both but the leather ones won out for me. My favourite brand was LaSportiva. They just fit me better. I’d like to see you cut a serious pair of Himalayan worthy mountaineering boots in half.
@@hybridxtrlowa, meindl, hanwag, la sportiva, keen and salewa are probably a good bet, just get the one that fits the best, which is the most important in my experience, lots of them are resolable as well, at least through the manufacturer
It would be interesting to see a pair of classic Galibier boots cut in half. Up until plastic shell boots and hybrids came about, they were the "gold standard" in high mountain boots.
Most Brands have a wide Ränge of different Models. If you want a good hiking Boot, you have to Look for Boots with norvegian welts and Out of waterproof "Juchten" leather. And have a Look of the construction, Like one piece of uppers, veg tan midsoles etc.
I'd like to see this too. I have a pair of modern temperate weather U.S. Army boots. I've worn them for work, including extensive snow removal, for many years. The leather has finally started to split and crack, but they're still waterproof, as in, I can stand in a 6 inch deep puddle, and my feet stay dry as a bone. They dry out quickly and are not uncomfortable in heat either. I'm pretty sure it's just a Goretex membrane in there.
Bunny boot tip....spare pair of socks & a bandanna/rag... When your feet are really sweaty... Pull off a boot, pull off your wet sock, dry out the inside of your boot with a bandanna.. wait 1 or 2 minutes, letting your foot & boot dry...use your dry sock... Repeat on the other foot... Then continue on...put your wet socks in an inside pocket to dry...
All boots have a gaping hole that water can get into...it's the one that you use to put your foot in! So unless you're wearing fishing waders or knee-high riding boots, most of the time any water that's a few inches above ankle height will get your shoes wet. It eventually falls upon good socks. Wool socks, occasionally combined with liner socks, changed frequently.
@@Chiller11 gaiters aren't sealed, it just goes up the inside of the gaiter. Gaiters are good for rain, mud and wet grass, insects and debris, but not puddles.
US has in addition to three you've shown, have also been issuing Gore-Tex lined boots for a few decades. The Army issued black, "Infantry boot," and the tan "infantry boot, type two." Then there are similar ones that are still issued. The current issued boots are either permeable, or have a liner. The jungle boots were the best solution when you know you can not stay dry. It's a hot rainforest, walking through swamps and rivers. No matter what you wear you will get water in them. Even a totally waterproof material isn't going to stop water from getting in when you're in water over the top of the boot. There seems to be another type of semipermeable boot. The last generation of all leather black boots were a highly water resistant, silicone infused leather. They would work for a while, but eventually the leather would get soaked if you were in wet weather, like rain, swamps, creeks, for a few weeks.
Today I wear my Indy’s, my RW Mock Toes, Tony Lamas, Lucchesse +++ but for 22 years I wore full leather, jungle and suede combat boots as a U.S. Marine. The USMC got it right when it moved to the no polish needed suede combat boots with the Eagle Globe and Anchor stamped into the other heals. Semper Fi
One thing you have not covered is the development of "puttees" in WW1, now generally called gaiters. These are frequently used in the UK and Ireland and prevent water running into the top of your boots from water splashing over the top or from wet trousers. Used in conjunction with good leather boots these really help in maintaining dry feet. Regarding the Jungle boots the original example of letting the water out was the development of broguing holes which were originally used to drain water out of footwear in the wet and cool environment of Ireland and Scotland where it rains up to 250 days per year in the mountain areas.
I just came up with an idea. Lets take the air pumped sneaker idea and fuse it with a boot. But put it in the jungle boot where the air would shoot out of the air vents. With a spout to connect a compressed air hose to. I have several battery powered hand held air compressors. Use one of those to pump up a small 5 pound tank and use that to blow the inside of the boots out.
A well constructed leather boot with no fancey shit is pretty water resistant. I wade in mine at work for 8 hours and have very little water getting in, you just need to keep them well polished and greased up. But really a wellington boot is the best boot for wet weather. Finland and Sweden both used rubber tall wellington boots.
iam in finland, and we get 2 types of boot, Nokian rubber boots, wich are a pimped out wellington boot with generous toe box and removable wool liners to be rotated. as often as possible. and basic leather combat boots to be worn with light and heavy wool socks. also with a generous toe box. Us northerners love generous toe boxes and you should too. combined with good wicking liner socks and absorbing wool outer socks your feet stay as comfortable as they can be in all situations. the leather is overal more comfortable exept in th2 half frozen knee deep swamps this country is known for. Its like the jungle of Vietnam exept its a couple degrees away from freezing solid half the year.
@@AW-hg3pc I think wellington boots get overlooked a lot because they aren't sexy like an expensive leather boot is. They are function over form which isn't very in vogue these days. I have the Finnwald boots myself but I would like the military model with a beefier sole and more reinforcements.
@@AW-hg3pc Wide toe box is essential! Personally, I use original US parachute jump boots, Swedish M59 boots, US Jungle boots (Vietnam era)... all with very wide and generous toe box. I am also thinking to get Norwegian M77 boots in the future.
The "bunny" boots are actually designed to keep your feet warm WITH water in them. I've worked through winter in these boots for years, and if you get water in them you get a little shock but then the water quickly heats up to body temperature. Even if its very cold outside (-30F for example). How is there liquid water in -30f? Ground water will pump to the surface under the snow and form "overflow" patches. This can be solid ice or slush, its hard to tell. It can be deep enough to submerge a foot and fill your boot with water, that's how it happened to me.
German Army guy here, i had a buddy once who just draped a little plastic bag over his feet, after changing his socks, but not his wet boots. I dont think he was the most comfortable that day, but his feet were dry.
Electric boot driers are great. Toasty boots every morning. There are a couple styles. Check online if you want warm dry boots every morning. Great Christmas present too. Give dry boots to the one you love.
I'm a fan of Redwings. Had a pair just for winter. Did construction, would occasionally go into steel mills. I would take the puddles of grease from the scaling mills and push the used grease into the boot with a putty knife. Scrape the excess and walk through the piles of sand. After a week it was good to the touch. For my non construction boots, Vaseline and a space heater to get the leather all warm and opened up, buff off the excess. Both are good for wading for a couple years after that. Drive a truck currently and they lasted 6 years doing that daily and recreational hiking (4-8 miles every weekend). Just had to get new insoles every other year.
I used to manage my boots on the dairy farm like your Redwings- there must have been an extra pound of crud crusted onto them, but they were essentially waterproof. I would bake mine slowly near the stove to cure them after each retreat at about 2-4 months.
I would love to see what is in an initial issue black combat boot from around 1997 cut in half. If you could get some of those I would appreciate it. I went to basic in 1997. Before we went to Bosnia in 1998 we got issued Rocky boots that included slip on booties as a removable liner. They made good slippers. Anyway, even though I was in the mud and the muck, they never leaked. I was wearing them in a brook behind a house we were renting, and the water was low, so I walked into the water to fish. I was there an hour or so, and I swear I was getting water seeping in the boots. I didn't lace them up, and the water was over my ankles but below the top of the boot. It was January, so the water was nice and cold. When I went back inside and checked my socks, they were still bone dry. I figured the water temperature was tricking me into thinking water was getting in. It has been over 20 years since I got the boots, and I still wear them in wet and muddy conditions.
It’s not even close as far long backpacking and hunting trips. It’s jungle boots, unlined leather with mink oil, or non-waterproof high tech boots. If doing a python hunt in the Everglades or trudging through snow, wear waders with your non-waterproof boots over them
A pedantic comment perhaps, but Hugo Boss never actually designed clothes for the German military, Hugo Boss factories were contracted to produce already designed uniforms. The uniforms of the German army during the second world war isn't that different from what was worn in the first world war
I just ordered two more pairs of boots after getting my muggs a couple weeks ago, so I'm obviously a boot fanboy. But I really don't know what sense they make. They're not comfortable, you can't wear them in the snow, or the rain, you can't do any considerable walking in them, and they cost three times as much as a more sensible shoe option. They just look good.
Especially hard to design any boot with the durability desired while balancing the other needs. Luckily those of us not in the military can dry our boots out between use.
Good sandals with securing to prevent slippage and with good soles are better for wet conditions in warm climates. Your feet will be wet but the aeration is good prevention of health-issues. With the benefit of natural-cleaning from rain-water. The issue is not wetting your feet. The issue is providing your feet with a way to breath. As it stands there is NO good-foot-wear for extreme-cold in combination with heavy-moisture. The entirety of the human-body is in need of air and warmth. This is why Napoleon never conquered Russia.
"Bunny" boots were designed to get wet and keep your feet warm. The actual name is US army Vapor Barrier boot. I've worn them for years in very cold temperatures for work. I've broken through thin ice at -30ish (don't remember exactly) and got water in them. I poured out what I could but the remaining water quickly heated up to body temperature. Occasionally I could pour a little more out but my foot never got cold. It further explains this in the long instruction manual that comes with the VB "Bunny" boot.
LL Bean Cresta hiking boots, full leather or with GoreTex inserts. Been living in them for a decade, often walking through standing water, and unless it comes in over the top, never had water get into them. Europan not Asian made. You really should check them out.
I’ve a cop for for 23 years in NC and have yet to find a perfect duty boot. I usually just run waterproof boots in the winter / colder months and non-water proof boots in the summer / hotter months.
I am wondering if a French drain was added to jungle boots or permeable boots if it would help? On my large French press I put 5 layers of stainless mesh on it, works great. I have it over two years since I added the mesh to it. I use it two or three times a day so its hardly ever dry. It still shows no signs of rust or oxidation. A person could do the same thing directly under the insole. Six, seven. Eight layers? Make it a quarter inch thick. That would be all you need for jungle boots. For semi-permeable and impermeable boots there would need to be a durable absorbent material under the stainless screen that could easily be removed and wrung out.
Me in USA: American: "Where are you from?" Me: "Sweden" American: "Oh Switzerland" Me: "No. Sweeden" American: "Oh Sweden. You have polar bears there. Do you often see them?" Me: "🤔 I have never seen one" American: "😮 Haven't you. Doesn't everyone commit suicide there because of the long dark winters?" Me:"🙄😏🤔"
Just use gore-Tex then replace the boot. Military loves spending money😂 Some boot manufacturers can replace the lining when you re-craft the boot like Danner.
Oh! Americans that can't distinguish between Switzerland and Sweden is a kinda common joke about rhe american education system in Sweden 😅 But nice video. Wanna see more of this kind of comparisons!
NB* I subscribed to your unique and informative channel ages ago but just now found that i had been unsubscribed... this strange occurrence has happened with several other channels for some unknown reason.... so just a heads up for you.
I had some from Sealskinz. They don't stretch so make sure you get the right size. They work for a while but gave up after several months. Basically they are like having a goretex lining in your boot (which also stops working after a few months). The big advantage of the sock is that it's removable so when they stop working they can be replaced. They can also be easily washed.
Stephen Ambrose writes that in the winter of 44-45 in Europe there were over 45,000 cases of trench foot. Just a little interesting fact of history. Lemmy joked that the allies dressed like ice cream cones. So we can definitely thank hugo boss,haha. 😂 really cool video. And love the swedish boots. I have the full leather version, and the rubber version. British soldiers in the Falklands war loved swedish boots.
Socks. Did eleven days in the rocky mountains during the summer, I generally changed socks 3 times over a 5-8 day of hiking. I had friends that would keep their boots on the whole hike and still be bone dry, but if I didn't change socks my heel, the outside of my big toe, and the ball of my foot would be waterlogged.
We need to. Fix the human body. Use prescription anti-perspirant on your feet, and they stay dry in a full waterproof boot. That's pretty much opposite of the meaning of the idiom. It's "Jack of all trades master of none, though often times better than master of one".
I can only speak to my military experiences, but in cold weather training and in certain selection and assessments, we got issued salomon quest forces. As you’re probably aware, there’s different levels of gortex as gortex is a technology. These particular boots with wool socks were fairly dry. They wouldn’t always freeze in the night and might feet were fine as long as I rotated the socks around as to let them dry longer than we had to time to sleep. For wet stuff, lalos, nrs wet shoes, and straight up converse (chucks) were used. For desert I used Oakley assault I forget the model, it was a USA made one, danners, and some salomons military XA’s. Back to the cold; while I don’t kick doors anymore, im an avid western big game hunter. I’ve use Crispi boots, and they seem to have a way of doing the glueing of the gortex booty in a way that keeps the breathability pretty high. Pretty decent quality allegedly…idk, I’ve never cut them in half haha Anyways, that’s for temps down to 0 degrees for 5 days backpacking trips.
I think what we need to develop is a portable, battery powered, de-humidifier for footwear. Something like the cedar plank staves you put in your shoes to store them and keep their shape. This would probably work wonders for long hikes and military applications. Basically a device, you take your boots off, turn the device on and place it in the bottom of you boots, change your socks and have a rest for 5 to 10 minutes and take the device out and be on your way. During that break time the device would rapidly suck in air through a filter medium that would absorb as much moisture as possible, like a fast acting desiccant, that would de-humidify your boots. If you could pull as much moisture out of the leather and the insoles you'd have a near dry boot to keep going.
Great, and you only have to give up your ankle support for the heavy ruck, body armor, water, ammunition, and weapon you'll be carrying for miles on end..... And frostbite is a thing, too.... Not to mention all the thick underbrush, rocks, etc that you contend with...

this is why i only wear water water overall trousers to keep dry in all seasons =]
What boot would you recommend for construction? For shoveling and waterproofing and durable?
Long answer- watch more videos. Short? Seems like 'Rock Rooster' is the best bargain boot...
Oh! Americans that can't distinguish between Switzerland and Sweden is a kinda common joke about rhe american education system in Sweden 😅
But nice video. Wanna see more of this kind of comparisons!
9:34 I use the boots combat high mk2 and they are some of the sturdiest boots ever I’ve used.
100 Swiss unsubscribed from Tulip Anvil
Actualy, hugo boss wasn't a designer for the germans, and thrir uniforms were more traditionalist thsn anything.
NB* I subscribed to your unique and informative channel ages ago but just now found that i had been unsubscribed... this strange occurrence has happened with several other channels for some unknown reason.... so just a heads up for you.
Ive never tried these, but how well do waterproof socks work?
I had some from Sealskinz. They don't stretch so make sure you get the right size. They work for a while but gave up after several months.
Basically they are like having a goretex lining in your boot (which also stops working after a few months). The big advantage of the sock is that it's removable so when they stop working they can be replaced. They can also be easily washed.
Any recommendations on shoes for a sanitation worker?
I would be interested to see if modern military gear solves this problem
Stephen Ambrose writes that in the winter of 44-45 in Europe there were over 45,000 cases of trench foot. Just a little interesting fact of history. Lemmy joked that the allies dressed like ice cream cones. So we can definitely thank hugo boss,haha. 😂 really cool video. And love the swedish boots. I have the full leather version, and the rubber version. British soldiers in the Falklands war loved swedish boots.
Anything for those with really sweaty feet?
Yes wool and leather but my feet sweat wearing flip flops when it's 40f out
Socks. Did eleven days in the rocky mountains during the summer, I generally changed socks 3 times over a 5-8 day of hiking. I had friends that would keep their boots on the whole hike and still be bone dry, but if I didn't change socks my heel, the outside of my big toe, and the ball of my foot would be waterlogged.
We need to. Fix the human body. Use prescription anti-perspirant on your feet, and they stay dry in a full waterproof boot.
That's pretty much opposite of the meaning of the idiom. It's "Jack of all trades master of none, though often times better than master of one".
I wish there was a reliable source for new jungle boots. All the current recreations seem to be really cheap knock-offs
Not og design but Salomon has a high and low cut version of Jungle boots with drain holes
What about VBL socks in conjunction with a boot ?
Dry socks in gal ziplock 2 pair boots change sock whenever appropriate
I can only speak to my military experiences, but in cold weather training and in certain selection and assessments, we got issued salomon quest forces. As you’re probably aware, there’s different levels of gortex as gortex is a technology. These particular boots with wool socks were fairly dry. They wouldn’t always freeze in the night and might feet were fine as long as I rotated the socks around as to let them dry longer than we had to time to sleep.
For wet stuff, lalos, nrs wet shoes, and straight up converse (chucks) were used.
For desert I used Oakley assault I forget the model, it was a USA made one, danners, and some salomons military XA’s.
Back to the cold; while I don’t kick doors anymore, im an avid western big game hunter. I’ve use Crispi boots, and they seem to have a way of doing the glueing of the gortex booty in a way that keeps the breathability pretty high. Pretty decent quality allegedly…idk, I’ve never cut them in half haha
Anyways, that’s for temps down to 0 degrees for 5 days backpacking trips.
What about wading boots?
How come no mention of Hunter Wellies?
I think what we need to develop is a portable, battery powered, de-humidifier for footwear. Something like the cedar plank staves you put in your shoes to store them and keep their shape. This would probably work wonders for long hikes and military applications. Basically a device, you take your boots off, turn the device on and place it in the bottom of you boots, change your socks and have a rest for 5 to 10 minutes and take the device out and be on your way. During that break time the device would rapidly suck in air through a filter medium that would absorb as much moisture as possible, like a fast acting desiccant, that would de-humidify your boots. If you could pull as much moisture out of the leather and the insoles you'd have a near dry boot to keep going.
aqua socks aqua shoes, da Problem solved!

Aztecs solves this over a thousand years ago with sandals
Are my feet waterproof?
They used the blood of their human sacrifices to keep their feet dry...
How did that work out for them?
Military issue Chacos when?
Great, and you only have to give up your ankle support for the heavy ruck, body armor, water, ammunition, and weapon you'll be carrying for miles on end.....
And frostbite is a thing, too....
Not to mention all the thick underbrush, rocks, etc that you contend with...
Spray your feet and bottom parts of your legs with ladies anti-perspirant deodorant
