The boots in the thumbnail are the suicoke bower Evab boots. I contemplated putting them in the video and removed the clips last minute BUT they are also some of my favorite boots.
They’re “technically” a blake stitch, Rose Anvil did a video where he cuts them in half. So the stitches aren’t just a façade, they’re still welting the sole to the upper. HOWEVER, the glue is ironically what makes cobblers turn away Docs from getting resoled, erasing any value that having a welted shoe has in the first place. It’s because it’s a pain in the fucking ass to get rid of the glue, apparently.
@@tw_judy Very interesting, thanks for the reply, I had no idea that was the case. I haven't gotten into the cutting shoes in half videos. I probably will at somepoint tho lol
@@TheKreattion no prob! I would take weston (Rose Anvil) with a grain of salt cause he is *constantly* hustling sponsorships and affiliate links, but it is interesting to see them cut apart for sure.
They are listening they are listening they are listening they are listening they are listening they are listening they are listening they are listening they are listening they are listening they are listening they are listening they are listening they are listening they are listening they are listening they are listening they are listening they are listening
I own two pairs of solovairs that I've been wearing for 3 years. They are way better than any docs by miles. Rose Anvil has an amazing video dissecting the differences
The yeezy dsrt boot is really nice, its not hyped or anything which is nice so I dont feel like a hypebeast but they have such a nice and unique shape that I am in love with. The only problem with it is it is more of a fashion piecw rather than an actual work boot of sorts but if you dont plan on beating down your boot it is great. Full size up on it if you plan on buying it.
Great video man! I love all these boots you picked out, and own a few myself already. But I am wondering, what are those off to side behind you?? They kinda remind of the Croc boots with the cinch around the ankle.
Red Wing's Moc toes are iconic, and so are their Iron Rangers. They're a great intro boot to get into heritage, semi-dress, service style boots. They're over $300, but they can easily last 10+ years with a couple resoles (about $100 every ~3 years). Thursday boots are also great budget options.
Just bought a pair of solovair 8 eye derby’s they are the best boot I’ve bought in a while. Went true to size and wore them while traveling around Chicago for the New Year
A boot I absolutely love is the Nike Manoa boot! It’s a great boot that is comfortable and affordable, they’re only $90. I went down a half size and they fit great! For reference, I’m a size 12 in most Nike shoes other than AF1s.
Been looking into stylistic upgrades from the blundstones I currently wear…. and now my decision just got harder haha. I was set on the Redwing mocs, but those Danners are fire! Much love as always. 💚👊🏽 #pvv
Boots are probably one of the more interesting types of footwear and also the most versatile. I feel like all these high end sneakers are ones that people would want to frame and never get dirty, but boots are meant to be worn. Happy new year from the post vid gang #pvv
I think from my own research, Thursday’s are great. It’s also worth checking out your local military surplus store if you want the combat boot look for cheap. #ppv
So over docs and timbs…there are better boots out there if you live in a climate that gets actual snow, and icy conditions, I live in Norway. I’ve had several pairs of both, and they all ended dup in the trash at one point. Either too painful, bad quality or ruined my feet. If you actually need docs, go for the ones with a fleece lining. Then you won’t have to go through the horrible breaking in process.
Buyers be aware: Oree shipped the wrong size to me and I had to return the order, waited one entire month for the refund, the refund is 15 less, they said shipping is on me
#pvv I planned on skipping around the vid just to see the boot recommendations. I needed up being drawn in by the commentary and watched the whole thing. Your commentaries are on point!
The diemme is great. I got the throwing fits collab of them. Definitely true to size, Im a 13 in Nike, 12/12.5 in adidas, I got the diemme in a 12 and it was a bit too snug
Good video, you definitely have a new subscriber. I just got my first two pairs of boots. First are the Solovair Monkey boot in oxblood and Thursday Captains in Arizona Adobe. I would really recommend Thursday at the $200 price point. Especially if you want more traditional styles.
My first pair of Docs should be coming in soon, and I also picked up the A-Cold-Wall Converse which aren't really boots but they do have a lot of features that come with owning a boot. #PPV
I actually have the 6 inch timberlands and I love them. They work perfect for me. Been looking at some more ”interesting” boots. Different suicoke boots and other designer stuff. #pvv
I've owned a pair of Solovairs for a year now. They're a lot more higher quality and comfortable than docs. Break-in took a hot minute, but they have a wooden shank like the older docs used to which make them way more comfortable and durable through time. If you like the details of Docs more, Id really try to find a pair of used one because even the made in England docs are a lot lower quality than they used to be.
Honestly Dr.Martens look good, the main quality issues is poor leather quality, lack of a shank (which is what prevents pain in the archway of your foot). So without the shank the boot just kinda bends instead of having a wood or steel bit that stabilizes it. And if you get them, make sure you know a local cobbler that is willing to resole Docs, because most cobblers don't.
Considered most of these for my first pair of combat boots ended up settling on the orees and holy shit I am beyond happy with them rly feels like the quintessential boot I don’t have much experience but I am beyond happy with the silhouette, leather quality, and the overall feel. Would recommend these to anyone over any regular designer pair of combat boots they also drop twice a year.
I just found your channel and I’m loving you style and content, subbed! you also just convinced me to get a pair of boots i’ve been eyeing for a while. #pvv
Still looking to enter the boot game, and torn between getting a simple pair of Docs vs. the Made in England version, anyone know about the difference and if its significant? #pvv btw
Couple of my favorite boots that weren't mentioned: - Ambush Embossed Logo Chunky Boots - Converse X Ambush Duck Boots - Converse X ACW Chuck Taylor - Dr Martens X Rick Owens Boots - Yeezy Desert Boot #pvv
The best boots to buy in my opinion, Cheaper price point:Doc martens(1460,mono black)(around 180) Next price point:Premiata(really nice Italian craftsmanship,they cost around 500,but if you look around on the second hand market you can find some aroun 100-350,i bought mine for 55) The perfect boots are Guidi(They have been supplying leather for luxury fashion houses since the 1800’s,they use luxury,really heavy duty horse leather,they have a lot of styles and they cost around 1500 but they will last you a lifetime,you can find them for 600-800 used
Love your stuff Drew, been watching, following for about a year now, feel now is as good a time as any to comment for the first time haha. So I've been wearing combat style boots for many years now and only recently got into boots as a fashion item. Some words to the wise about the Danner boots, they fall apart VERY fast, more so than almost any other boot I have found. They are extremely comfortable, but that is at the trade-off of the soles being made of very soft material, and therefore falling apart quickly. Doc's while they are also quite nice and affordable, you will likely be better off investing the extra 150-200$ at a later date, on a pair of boots that can be re-soled. Final note, take care of the boots you buy. They are not cheap. So oil the leather well, and make sure to not let them go too long without a re-sole if you notice the soles start to crack. I've had my same pair of Red Wing Blacksmith's for almost 4 years now, with only a single re-sole, and I would argue that the age they show makes them look even better than the day I bought them.
I scored Diemme all black antra for $110 earlier this year and they are indeed *chefs kiss* and 10000% recommend them!! If you're looking to wear them during more colder seasons as well then I suggest going up a size. Their nicely fitted but you'll need to wear thin socks if you're going to stay true to size. The quality is even more 🔥 in person lol
I really want to get the oree boots but it would be my first boot and I don't feel like it's appropriate for that but then I feel like all the cheaper designs are a bit boring.. I'm stuck... #pvv
#pvv I recommend looking in your city for boot maker! I live in a smaller city but we have a place that makes moc toes and chelsea boots that use better materials
Great video Drew! Appreciate the effort you put into researching and curating these videos to put us on to brands we wouldn’t otherwise know about. I’m defo feeling the diemme balbi boots thanks to you! #pvv
this video is super helpful. been wanting to pickup some boots and didnt know where to start. doc martens are obviously an option but you put me on to solovair and diemme. definitely thinking about those brands now. #pvv
The boots in the thumbnail are the suicoke bower Evab boots. I contemplated putting them in the video and removed the clips last minute BUT they are also some of my favorite boots.
The best boot u forgot to put on the list Tims
Literally was scrolling back and forth to find the review of them lol.
Any chance we could get a short review of these? There isn't much on youtube yet about them but i'm contemplating buying a pair
Nvm i checked out your Nov/Dec pickups vid and saw your review of them there. Thanks anyway! 😭🔥
@@pofty Same!
Dr. Martens aren't actually Goodyear welted. They're glued soles. The yellow stitching is purely aesthetic and serves no functional purpose
They’re “technically” a blake stitch, Rose Anvil did a video where he cuts them in half. So the stitches aren’t just a façade, they’re still welting the sole to the upper.
HOWEVER, the glue is ironically what makes cobblers turn away Docs from getting resoled, erasing any value that having a welted shoe has in the first place. It’s because it’s a pain in the fucking ass to get rid of the glue, apparently.

thing about solovair that makes it so good for me is that it can be resoled when I wear out the tread, as long as the upper is in great condition
Also the new balances look really nice fr

this video helped so much I can't lie
man, EVEN MORE ARTSY!!!!!! nice pics homie 11/10!
The Diemme Balbi are probably one of the most uncomfortable boots I’ve bought before break in but they’re decent after about 10 wears

Best tip for people just getting into boots: genuine leather is trash, top grain or full grain leather is the way to go.
‼️
I think from my own research, Thursday’s are great. It’s also worth checking out your local military surplus store if you want the combat boot look for cheap. #ppv

I got the Converse x Ambush duck boot recently, really comfy and it looks great.
Those r super cute!

I have been looking for new boots its so hard to find the right ones i want function and comfort and of course a little style.

#pvv love the idea of the video, shoutout to solovair just got their lugged loafers so far so good
You lost me after the 3rd boot 😂🚫

Whoever has the Oree NYC boots in a size 10 lmk now I will pay instantly
missed out on the oree boots and the collegium ones , hoping to get the restocks love from europe as usual :) #pvv
I love Virón's concept, I do own a pair got it from DSM a year ago or so, they are mad uncomfortable tho :\
Is it the insole comfort?? or just weirdly shaped??
@@DrewJoiner mostly just very stiff, get blisters from wearing them :\
eeyyy ty dude! super useful, trying to get into boots so this was perfect timing #pvv
those Oree boots are so clean. #pvv

Actually sold them in favor of the oree boots

900 🙃 yeah that’s a pass

Chippewa boots (similar to red wings) have lasted me 5 years so far, and i live in Massachusetts so it snows lmaoo.

Rains x diemme anatra boot I 100% recommend
What boots is he holding in his right hand in the thumbnail? It’s sitting back there behind him as well
Suicoke Bower EVAB
Drew would you go with the high top or low top suicoke boot??? I can't decide HELP
Mmm probably low top
@@DrewJoiner 10 days into 2022 and you’re already the most reliable RUclipsr. Thank you 🙏🏾
Hey bro if you like the Diemme boots, check out the Axel Arigato "cryo" boots. Theire very similar to them and the infamous Celine duck boots.
