The Boot “Mistakes” a Beginner Makes (or, How to Make the Most of Your Boot Collecting Experience)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 дек 2020
- You’re just getting into boot collecting and you begin to get the feeling that you’re missing something. Well....you are! There are so many mistakes we all inevitably make in our “boot journey”, but my hope is that this video might get you thinking critically enough to save you from some “mistakes”. This isn’t exhaustive, just a few things on my mind concerning this topic. At the end of the day, we all make choices we later regret, but if we can learn from past choices, the future is always brighter.

1. Know your feet 2:40
know your size (including, but more than the Brannock sizing) and shape of your feet (such as heal shape, toe shape and width, arch, and instep height)
2. Buy simple, then go big 12:11
Don't go to your dream boot in your first few purchases, because you will make all kinds of mistakes. Learn your preferences and mistakes, then go for the one you like.
3. Space out your purchases 23:18
give yourself enough time to learn the current one before moving on to the next one.
4. Don't lock yourself into purchases (e.g. pre-order) 25:27
Not for newbies. For those who know what they like and are experienced already. Beginners should make informed choices and give yourself an escape route.
5. Don't get hung up on the details 27:40
Learn enough so you find the one you like, at which point price, leather, other people's opinion, status symbol, and all the factors on their own may stop to matter. The point is not quantity, or looking for the next best thing, but what the boot can do to you and with you.
Thanks for adding this! I really should have myself, but sometimes I get busy haha
@@thevintagefuture6567 Hey man, you did the bulk part of the work, and I do this to help myself as well. I am exactly the type of person you were addressing in this video. So thank you!
@@xwhEdward well thanks again! I’m grateful. And no problem at all 🙌🏽
Lo
So much of this resonates with me ESPECIALLY the take it slow part!!! You’re so right about that; slow is smooth and smooth is fast!! I also really liked that advice that your music teacher passed on about knowing the rules; and if you’re going to break the rules, know why you’re breaking them. That’s so profound and really good life advice in general because when you master the information, the more apt you are to recognize when it’s appropriate to break your own rules!! Keep up these incredible videos man, they’re invaluable!!!!! 💥💥💥💥💥
aerosurferlv thanks man! Yeah, I made all these mistakes myself🤣 Probably why they’re so poignant 😬
Couldn’t agree more man. Well done!
Carl Murawski thanks, man!!
Exactly, find what you want and then go big. Don't waste money and time on cheaper or lesser versions of what you really want. That goes for anything in life.
Joshua Jones great point about extending this thinking to the rest of life! This is true. Yeah, life is more enjoyable this way, and it is often financially cheaper in the long run. 🙏🏽
Dale you give such great advice. I got my first pair of gyw in 2015, a pair of redwings 1907. I have since owned viberg, alden, Crockett and jones, whites, cheaney, truman, grant stone, trickers, john logfren, the flathead, and paraboot from what I remember. I am currently clearning out my closest clothes/boots to only keep things I love. I completely agree with you that one can have an amazing three boot collection. Another tip I followed before even watching this video was creating a connection with ones boots. I recently got a pair of custom whites and decided to take them to a trip to san fransciso in order to bond with them over the labor day weekend. I wore them all day and visited standard and strange and self edge wearing them. I had a great time on that trip and those whites are now attached with those memories.
Phenomenal advice. If the boots love your feet, you can’t help but fall in love with them I always say.
For me, this is THE BEST boot related advice on internet.
🙌🏽🙏🏽 Blessings on you
Great advice. This resonates with a lot of boot buyers. But I still reserve the right to be wrong..
You have amazing knowledge literary like a podiaitrist. So articulate with clarity and understanding. Well done! I'm a boot man who has seen many many RUclips vids but this was a breakthrough after nothing but personal opinion "gate keepers". Thank you!!
Wow! The fact that this helped you encourages me so so much! So glad you watched and felt it contributed to your life🙏🏽 Thanks for stopping by, friend
What a fantastic video
I wish I had discovered this video a few weeks ago! I made Mistake #2 Yep! I started by pre-ordering a pair of custom boots! 🦶👢 I hope I don't come to regret that purchase! Then, I bought 3 more pairs (2 different brands) within the weeks to follow. My first pair arrived yesterday: Grant Stone Brass Crimson Chromexcel Boots. I will definitely return to the channel to continue my boot education - and to avoid making any more mistakes!
Glad it was helpful!
I see online that people have a lot of problems with the Red Wing 8 last. The last isn’t for everybody.
I also have a low volume feet and skinny ankles.
Awesome video, dude!!! 👍👍👍
Good advice. Thanks for sharing, man.
Great video! Lots of insightful information
Really appreciate this video. Still learning a lot in the boot world, and this gave me both reassurance and direction.
Great advice! I wasted significant money by not knowing, not wanting to spend enough money, and buying twice (or three times) and eventually reducing the number of boots and shoes while increasing quality. Keep up the excellent videos!
Great advice on sizing!!!
Preach my man awesome insight.
6:46 right in the feels...
😂 too many of us can relate to this lol
Good advice, great video 😷👍🥾
This is pretty great advice for most hobbies that involve collections. Watches, denim, hats, leather jackets, etc. when you first get into it the urge to but all the things is pretty strong.
I’ve got 2-3 watches I wear regularly, two pair of jeans (18oz,13.5oz), a few jackets for a specific use case, etc.
Sounds like a great rotation! Yeah, a few of each is plenty for quite a long time haha
this was a really great video. thank you for cracking an egg of knowledge on me!
😂 The egg....Anyways, glad you enjoyed it! Always love hearing from everyone. Blessings on you, friend 🙏🏽
True wisdom this whole video. Well done
Captain PN glad it helped! If you ever have wisdom you’ve picked up along the way, I’d love to hear it.
The first thing I wish I would've done before starting my journey was buying a brannock device. The workers at the Allen Edmonds store and Redwing store told me I'm a 9.5D but my feet are actually: Left foot size 10.75 C (ball)
Right foot size 10.25 C (ball)
(Toes are 10.5). I didn't even know there was a ball length size. I sold a lot of shoes that were too tight, lost thousands of dollars and all the time/frustration involved as well. Now I typically order 10.5D true to size or 10D if they run a half size large and the fit is perfect every time! I still have a few pairs that are too small but I've tried to stretch them by applying mink oil inside them and try to stretch them
So true! Brannock is the best baseline when getting into footwear! I should also have started using Brannock sooner haha
Thanks, Bro!! Very good video for noobs like myself coming into wearing boots later than most.
George Carlin2 glad it helps, George! Blessings friend👊🏽
thank you for the discussion and advice. really helpful
So glad it helped!
Tremendous video. I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed the info. I’ve worn average work boots for 35 years. They’ve served me well. Stumbled into the heritage boot world. I figured if I spend 14 hrs or more a day in boots, why not buy some real quality leather boots for feel and looks when I’m not working. My entry level boot is the Thursday Vanguard a month ago. I like them and will wear them a lot. I feel the desire now to get a pair of mto boots from Nicks. Specifically the Robert. Different than the Vanguards but I’m falling in love with that look with the hope of a greater feel. Tony
Anthony Guzek thanks for stopping by! And thanks for sharing your journey! Sounds like you’re off to a great start. It does my heart good knowing the video helped. It’s rooted in many mistakes I made, but I learned from them. You might make some too😆 But what counts is learning from them, and above all, enjoying life and letting them point you to the best and purest. Enjoy those Vanguards!
👍🏻 you have great ideas and love the philosophy nice! Down to earth what a cool dude.
Thanks so so much! 🙏🏽 Cheers!
I really need to save this video and re-watch before making any purchases.
:) Great discussion.
Glad that helped!
never had luck with slip on boots.
thank you! i'm just starting to buy boots and I found your advices very useful.
Glad it helps!
Well done analysis......!
Glad it helped!
Very helpful Appreciate it
😎👊 good advice ...
Really cool video, thanks for the insight. Going to buy redwing Mocs this weekend. Going to hold off as long as I can to buy Nicks Americana’s with either regular or high heel.
valetudo025 oh cool! Yeah those Red Wings are a legend, and the Nicks are really cool. The Nicks are one of those boots you could actually have for the rest of your life and take any abuse you could throw at them. I’m a big Nicks fan. Enjoy!
Spot on maestro
As a prior Marine, cool referance. I guess my first pair of boots was a pair of "cadillacs" (all leather black combat boots) and a pair of "Jungles" (canvas sided boots). I transgressed to Doc Martin oxfords in the late 90s. I've had "urban" style boots like Lugs and Timberland(entry level) and have had various Wolverine work boots that I have burnt through at work.
There is nothing like a well made properly fitted boot in my opinion.
I have friends that wear for comfort, like ultra boost Adidas. Or friends that wear Jordans.
But my newest passion for learning about footwear is stylized comfortable boots that go good with anything and that are rugged enough to take a walk in wet weather.
You have many good insights on how to approach understanding what you are looking for and how to go about it.
Very dope video man. I wish I found your channel sooner. lol. I just recently started getting into to quality boots. Red Wing is a good starting point. I got a pair of Iron rangers and a black smith. The iron rangers seem to have more volume though. Which is a little strange because they’re supposed to be made on the same last. I’ve worn both a few times. The leather is starting to crease the way my feet bend. So much good advice. Some of which I was just starting to realize myself. Later.
The Red Wings sound killer! Enjoy those 🍻 And yeah, I always wished someone had told me this stuff when I started, so I put it out there for others haha. Appreciated all your comments- blessings 🙌🏽
Good content. Enjoyed it as a boot beginner. Have just started enjoying my first pair of Trickers Stow boots, which are also my first ever pair of boots.
Welcome to the community! Congrats on the Trickers! That’s one heck of a pair of boots
WOW!!! What a feeling! Congratulations on your boot journey.
Hi new to your channel and love it. I’ve just started my passion for boots . Owning some cheaper brands first then recently plunged in to a set of 1035 Vibergs in horsebut. Toscanello leather is amazing . Keep it up
Dave
Enjoy!
This is definitely good advice that I wish I would’ve had a few years ago. Please no offense but I feel like I’m watching Jeff Gordon give me advice on boot buying 😂. Great video! I’m glad I found ya!
L Johnston Jeff Gordon 😂😂😂 That’s hilarious. Glad it helped!
How is it you don’t have 600,000 subscribers?
Teik Oh Dot Com lol 😂 600 is enough. I just enjoy making the videos.
Agree for the most part. I started my journey with Thursday's, then I moved to parkhurst and just ordered my first pair of grant stones.
Which Parkhurst did you go with?
@@jeffloucks2120 Richmond cumulus kudu's
Thanks for all the advice I think tip #2 was the most helpful for me I was thinking Nick's and Red wing seriously
I should try Red Wings and think about buying nick's or something else or keep the Red wing
many people should watch this video before buying👍
My first purchase of a heritage boot I jumped ahead and went with a pair of Viberg's 2030 Service Boots in calfskin. As an online purchase, it was a little bit of a nail biter at their prices. However, I did a lot of research first, including your videos which were very helpful, and so far it's worked out great. Still in the break-in phase but I'm confident I got the right size and last. Viberg's leather and quality of construction is pretty amazing.
How do I justify $925 (including shipping) and no blue box which was annoying? If you nail the right last and size, I think this is as close to full bespoke with custom made lasts as you can get without having to spend thousands of dollars.
Again, thanks for all of your help!
P.S. When I first got the boots I conditioned then polished with Saphir Renovateur and their cream polish. Great product.
So glad your first Viberg purchase is going well for you! Happy to help! Enjoy those boots, and reach out if you have future questions 👍🏽
This was such a great video.
I am at the beginning of my boot journey and have definitely bought some boots for no reason other than they were on sale. I find it really difficult living outside of the US to get access to GYW boots.
Do you know of anyone in Australia who is a boot collector like yourself?
Thanks hate to waste money but love boots also flat feet and thinking about a pair of necks with the low heel.
Great content! Wish I watched it 2 years ago. I found out the hard way, unstructured toe do not work, I got a huge tall big toe that unstructured just don't work unless I size up.
So interesting! You would think it would be the opposite 😆
My feet are weird so I still make mistakes I got high arches, high instep, wide feet, etc
It’s hard for me to look at a pic and know one way or the other.
Man! Good stuff! Where were you 1-1/2 years ago? See you at Stitchdown!
Francisco Gonzalez always good hearing from you! You are always heartfelt, funny, informative, and transparent. I enjoy the conversations 🙏🏽 1.5 years ago I was lacing up my boots in solitary, wishing someone would do longer, more thorough boot videos🤣
From one type of collector to another I tip my hat
Izz Man 🙏🏽
I always thought my feet were the same size and it wasn’t until I put my order in for a pair of Nicks that I found out my feet are two different sizes. Also I had to space out my boots cause otherwise my wife would’ve smothered me in my sleep lol.
I agree that everyone I know doesnt care about boots the way I do. Until you try a pair of whites, Nick's, wesco, Frank's, or JKs and get a custom size that actually fits you, people shouldnt knock the price tag. Everyone says I'm crazy because I have 3 pairs of whites and a pair of Frank's. But I wont go back to off the shelf boots
Alexander Levesque amen! Most people spend a lot on something, whether it’s nice bicycles, vacations, drinking, tools, kitchen apparatuses, cars or motorcycles, music equipment etc. For us it’s boots🤷🏽♂️ And as my friend Dale @aerosurferlv says, we probably use our footwear more than many of those other people use their hobby objects. So yes, people do not understand unless they start thinking about it more🤣
@@thevintagefuture6567 My Grandfather use to always say have a great bed and a great pair of boots. When you arent in one, you are in the other.
Alexander Levesque wow those are some wise words 🙏🏽👊🏽
@@thevintagefuture6567 I have friends that play and collect guitars and amps, effects pedals, talk about an expensive hobby! Same with expensive watches. Then there are guns and ammo folk who have 15-30 handguns and rifles, plus sight scopes and 500 rounds of ammo at a minimum, fishing rods n reels, the list goes on. Hahaha! To each their own. :)
George Carlin2 true words right there 😆
Great video! I think I know my feet very well and ironically enough they sound very similar to yours. So I have to ask how do you get boots that fit you properly, especially from the companies you mention that don’t sell narrow widths? I checked the site of most of the makers you mention and I was surprised to find a good number of them don’t offer anything narrower than a D. I can’t say that I’ve tried on many high end boots but I’ve tried a B width from both Nicks and Truman and found both to be way too high volume for my foot and ankle. I would need an A or more likely even a AA for them to come anywhere close to fitting. Thanks.
Matt Stahr my best advice would be, depending on your style (fashion vs workwear), go to an Alden store if there’s one near you (fashion) because they’re really good at accommodating all sizes and widths OR contact Baker Shoe in Eugene, Oregon. Bakers is legendary at getting people fit. Out of Whites, Wesco, Nicks, and Bakers, Bakers was the only party that got my fit right without my help. They sell Whites, Wesco, Drews, and some other brands. You simply do Bakers fit sheet and tracings (and write unique features of your feet on there like “flat arches” etc), let them recommend a size, then call them on the phone to discuss after that to confirm. If/when Bakers gets you a boot you’re confident is a great fit after some use, you can then translate that to Nicks and other companies with some success. I had success with Nicks because Bakers got me my correct size previously and suggested some alterations (like cutting the quarters back - see my Nicks unboxing video). So these (Alden and Bakers) are the two options which come to mind. For the other brands I mentioned, I usually use inserts and thick socks to take up some volume. This works, but sometimes encounters issues.
@@thevintagefuture6567 Thank you very much for the reply. I will look up Bakers for sure.
Danner ,bull run wedge sole. I love wedge sole, they work, but wear out fast.
Another thing to do, go on Ebay, Etsy, and see if you can get a used boot in the size you think, and see if it's returnable. This way, you can get the boot from the brand you want, get it fairy quickly, try it out, and if it does not fit return it. The key thing is you have now learned what size you think you need for that particular brand. In my experience, I can say with confidence, Drews Boots and Whites Boots basically fit the same. Nicks Boots do not fit like Whites Boots, so be careful thinking you will get a match. Nicks Boots tend to be narrower than Whites or Drews. Wesco Boots are true to size, if you measure a size 10D, you want to order a 10D in Wesco, but not in Whites, Nicks, or Drews Boots. If you measure a size 10D, you would want to order a 9 or 9.5D in a pair of Whites or Drews, and probably a 9E or 9.5 E or EE in a pair of Nicks. This is just from my experience and opinion, I have owned them all.
D-VO wow! This is huge! Grateful for stopping by and dropping this info. Really quite helpful🙌🏽
Even if stuff that you buying is returnable, someone has to pay shipping cost. So basically the seller will loose 10-15 bucks for you to try their products
Hey men really like the video and really like the other video you made about Danite souls, Especially some new to buying heritage style boots if you will. I did have a question about iron Rangers I had bought my 1st pair of them always heard that the break in was pretty rough especially with the copper rough and tough leather rough and tough leather, But I legitimately felt no Really bad discomfort with breaking these boots and they just sort of broken to my foot is that at all normal?
Glad you like the videos! Yes, your break-in is fine. Everyone has a different experience. Has much to do with the shape of your foot as compared to the shape of the boot. Do you feel Iron Ranger is a good shape for you (and appropriately sized)? If so, that probably explains why the break-in was pleasant.
@@thevintagefuture6567 Actually yes I have wide toes narrow heel so the iron ranger fits my foot very well was just wondering why people were complaining about break in and I didn't have the same experience. Thank you for the help and speedy reply!
@@timlabarr6131 sounds like you’re good 👍🏽 People often talk as if their experience should be everyone’s, which can cause others to question their own experiences. Never feel bad or nervous about a hard or easy break-in (as long as you sized correctly); every pair is different 🙌🏽
I just recently got into boots. My first real pair of boots (more than like $40) was a pair of Nick's Builderpros. I ordered them back in May of 2020 when I saw Rose Anvil's video on them. I've got really bad flat feet and weak ankles and most footwear for me is just a painful disappointment. The only exception are expensive running shoes with decent arch support. So when I saw that video I was sold.
Before they came in early September I bought a pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers at my local Red Wing Store in like late June due to impatience. They were okay in terms of feel after break in (ie better than most footwear I've worn), but they looked amazing.
After two months of wearing my Iron Rangers my Builderpros came in. They were God awful. My feet have never been in more pain... For like a month. Afterwards you cannot get me out of these 3 pound steel toe monstrosities. Best purchase of 2020.
Like you said, you need to know your feet. If I didn't I wouldn't have taken the chance with Nick's. So my thoughts are if you don't know what you want choose a conservative looking boot from a custom manufacturer. They will set the bar for what you need and want in a good pair of boots. Custom boots have pretty much ruined any of the lower end boots like Thursday for me.
Christopher Black thanks for sharing the story! I totally resonate with that! And yeah, you’re right: once you get a great custom fit, off-the-shelf becomes meh
Ladies love boots too!! I have a fairly good size collection now.From cowboy boots,
doc martens,wescos etc Boots aren’t just for bikers and gay teddy boys
😂 amen
I have similar description of feet; low volume, low instep and skinny heels. Can you tell me some of the lasts that work best for you? You mentioned the Leo last from grant stone; how did you size your diesels relative to your brannock size? thanks.
Glad to meet another low volume friend! First, what’s your Brannock, including width? All the following fit info is assuming a C or D width. If you’re E width, some of it will change........Leo: 1/2 down from Brannock for me. I’m 10C Brannock and Leo in 9.5D works nicely. Alden Barrie last fits like a dream, also at 1/2 down from Brannock. Alden TruBalance was ok, but I don’t wear it because it was awkward for my foot shape. I hear Plaza last from Alden is great for low instep people, but I haven’t tried it. Viberg 2040 at 1 size down from Brannock is a great fit. Truman P79 is a good fit at 1/2 size down from Brannock, if you like something more roomy like a work boot. My recommendation would be: consider your foot shape, then start by trying a couple of these lasts which seem to look like a similar shape as your foot. Aerial view shots of the lasts are particularly helpful. Grant Stone has those. Brick and Mortar Seattle has great aerial shots of most Alden lasts on their website. Most other Alden sites I find to have lousy pictures, as far as determining what the last actually looks like from different angles. Division Road has good Viberg pictures. Truman has good pictures on their site.....The sizing info I gave you is pretty standard, so don’t let anybody talk you into sizing up or down from that until you’ve tried the sizes I suggested.
@@thevintagefuture6567 Thanks man, I really appreciate the info. I'm between a 9.5 and 10 on the brannock. Also, I'm a D/ boarderline E width. The first pair of boots I ordered was a Thursday captain (sort of what got my interested) and I oredered a half size down from my 10 sneaker and it felt way too big. I sent it back and didn't order again because I realized I didn't like the dressy pointy look of it. Next I ordered a flame panda Moc. While waiting 6 months for that to arrive I ordered a Thoroughgood Moc (for work) went with half size down and found it again way too big. sent it back and didn't order again because there were some painful pressure points where seems overlapped just from trying on. The flame panda's arrived and they were too big in volume and length. Sold them and ordered a Grant Stone Brass boot in a 9D. They are a bit snug width wise but I think they are improving from wear. The overall volume still feels kind of roomy around my ankles and I have to tighten the laces more than I would like. Overall, not bad though and I really dig them. So now I'm looking at the Diesel boots and wondering should I go 9E on those for a bit more toe room or will that mean too roomy around the heel and ankle. I'm in Canada so shipping is expensive and try-on's aren't really an option. Good to know about the Alden Barrie and the Viberg 2040. You're right; it is good to see photos of boots from above. I don't want to order a pair until I know more about my size but the John Lofgren monkey boots really appeal to me and the photo of them from above just looks like the right shape to me. Thanks again, I appreciate the info you are providing with your channel.
Fade masterfade glad to help! And man...I feel so bad for you. So sorry it’s been so frustrating. I feel your pain, cuz my story is the same. I’m glad that I was able to make it through and learn from my sizing frustrations; that’s one reason I wanna help others in the same situation as me. I literally had the exact same experience with many of those boots you mentioned. Anyways....I really need to do a “How to get the right fit” video. I also should do a video specifically for people with low volume feet like us.....Two things real quick regarding fit: don’t worry about extra length. I think you’re trying to make lasts which aren’t for your foot work; you’re doing that by sizing down too much, which creates other issues. The solution is, find a different last. It’s not about length as much as overall alignment. For instance, based on your info, my recommendation is you should try 9.5D or E in Leo, and if it doesn’t work, then move on. For people like us with our skinny feet, fit gymnastics where we size up or down to compensate almost never pans out well. If the size you’re supposed to be wearing doesn’t work, ditch the last. Don’t waste time with inserts and tongue pads etc. Don’t waste time sizing up and down hoping for better results when your Brannock has already indicated the size that should fit correctly. Second, moc toes are supposed to feel big and roomy. Sounds like it’s too much for you (I can relate), so maybe stick with snugger lasts from here on out.....What part of Canada do you live in? Any chance you might be able to go to a Viberg or Alden retailer? The internet games sucks so bad for people like us, until we find something which fits. I prefer going into a store. Once you can find just one last that works great for you (trust me, they’re out there), then you have a comfortable and confident foundation to expand your collection from. Atlier Buck does bespoke boots in Canada....I wonder if you could physically go there and get measured for a pair they make...
@@thevintagefuture6567 I'll be the first one to watch your video on sizing especially for low volume feet. I really like the GS Brass boots and though the fit isn't perfect it's the best I've found so far. I will get a pair of GS in the Leo last but not 100% sure on getting the 9D or E. I'm in Vancouver on the west coast so not too far from Viberg in Victoria. There are a couple stores in town that sell Viberg; I should go see them in person. With the Covid quarantine I haven't been in a store other than for groceries for a year. I hadn't heard of Atelier Buck but I just checked them out and they look interesting. They have a very natural foot shape to them. They are on they other side of the country to me but I like what they are doing. Thanks for all the advice and insights. Keep up the good work :)
Buying my first pair of custom work boots. I can’t decide between Nicks builderpro or wesco jobmaster. What is your suggestion? Thanks
What is your profession?
I do commercials tire work, primarily in the office. I have been wearing the redback easy escape for that. They are great boots for being on you feet and on concrete all day. But I have about 70 acres of land that i bought that has been neglected that I will be working on. On the weekends. Also I just like wearing boots primarily.
@@onetiretech I would get a Nicks Urban Logger on the 55 last. It’s basically a 6” Builder Pro. Anything more than that is overkill for what you’re doing. Honestly, even a Nicks Robert with a V700 (v-bar) sole is probably just fine for what you will be doing. Get something like that if you don’t need the huge lug sole. The Wesco is great too, but it’s just different. Personally, I find lace-to-toe sorta boots (or something like the Jobmaster which has extended facings) to be excessive unless your job requires maximal stability.
@@thevintagefuture6567 Thanks. I was considering a shorter shaft. Didn’t know if the urban logger would be durable enough. Thank you for your expertise and time. God bless.
Coulda used this a few years ago 🤣

Dude, I like the content but your videos are waaaaay too long 🤣 cheers!
Carlos E. Martinez Ramos 😂🤣😆 thanks man! And yeah, I get that long videos aren’t for everyone. I just got tired of the short videos all over RUclips that leave me wanting more info. There’s plenty of short ones, so I decided to add some thorough and long ones🤷🏽♂️😆 I appreciate the watch and comments 🙏🏽
@@thevintagefuture6567 I must say this makes perfect sense. Now I’m on my third pair of Thursday’s and fourth pair of Red Wings and planning on getting the spruce kudu parkhurst or a split toe grant stone in natural cxl but you left me thinking about that “skip the middle” point.... I wish I hadn’t watched this video 🤣
Carlos E. Martinez Ramos 😂 If those next purchases are really what you want, then get them. I just mean, don’t do that thing where you really want a Viberg or Whites or Lofgren and you buy something similar that’s cheaper, thinking it will satisfy. Doesn’t work. Skip cheaper alternatives and buy what you really want. If what you really want is only $250, then no need to go more expensive than that👍🏽🙌🏽
@@thevintagefuture6567 then again, I really like those 2 boots (you seem to have liked the Allen) and I can’t afford role clubs right now lol so I think I’m still gonna get them since as you say, they’re not satisfying my like for something similar, I just want them too. Keep it up my friend.
I like the comic book background better 🥸
Carlos E. Martinez Ramos ah yes! Makes sense. And maybe I’ll bring back the comic book background 🤔😆
