Would definitely love to actually see if the durashock foam is actually any different than the standard foam. I have been very curious about the durashock stuff for a while.
I’ve always assumed it was for safety to stop the band saw from catching any of the upper and biting and pulling it in, could be wrong though I have no experience with band saws or cutting shoes in half 😂
Thin/high material on a band saw is highly likely to get pulled in an odd direction or bunch up from the blade catching it, way safer to cut the thin part and then do a straightforward cut from where that meets the sole
Saws aren't great for cutting floppy materials, with recip saw teeth just grab the material and shake it up and down instead of cutting it because it has no structure. And with a band saw it would try to pull the material through the gap between the table and blade and get stuck.
Honestly I had some of these I wore as dailys as a lineman. They were Wellingtons, and were actually really good for what they were and the price. Now I wear PNW everyday instead of just having a pair of PNW climbing boots
Electrician here and I work 12s. These ain't nothing to write home about. But are a decent boot for the working man that doesn't have 300 clams for some hardcore leather boot.
Would like to see the Keen Cincinnati cut in half. Its probably the widest toe box moc toe out there, but would like to see your take on how well built they are. Thanks.
i have been asking him to do these for years. But I actually did this myself when one of my supersoles started delaminating. Here are some details: its a fiberboard midsole topped with a felt like layer (which is what you see under your removable insole). There is a canvas(?) gemming that is glued and has a few staples attaching it to the fiberboard and the leather upper in parts. The gemming is stitched through the upper to the plastic/rubber welt. But ALL of this is drowned in a crumbly black foam material that deteriorates over time. There is also a fiberglass shank. And on the outside of that crumbly soft foam is the hard exterior of the outsole mold. So long story short its all synthetic components and, in hindsight, not worth resoling using leather/conventional cobbler methods. Perhaps its worth sending back to redwing for a resole. I'm not buying another supersole.
I watch this channel to see things I can't see on a manufacturers site, or even if I go into a physical store and check the boots. I want to see the full construction that you can only check when you destroy the boot to inspect it. While the expertise is appreciated, all you're generally doing in these "no cut" videos is telling me things I could read off the product page or a quick google search, just stretched into 10 minutes of "content".
I use that same Gerber knife, but I never use the clip. I removed the clip on the day I bought it to make it more pocketable and I love it. It's unoffensive, so when I find my self in places that would complain about a "real" knife, it's no problem.
Great content, as always! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
I need help picking a boot! Maybe I'm asking too much from a boot but.. I'm after an everyday chelsea boot that I can pretty much put with any outfit, maximum comfort, have a bit of style, not too work boot looking, with a good height boost. Was thinking of the RedBack Great Barries as im in Australia. Please send some recommendations!
I'd like to see these cut. I've been buying wolverine for years now, can't say I buy them because I like them but because I can afford them. But the recent price increases from them has made buying them over other brands a questionable decision.
I was literally looking for a review of the durashocks on the other channel like 2 days ago. They are my go to boot and several of my coworkers also. My feet are always dry and warm no matter what weather im in. They also dont get too hot in the summer. I'm in northern CA valley, so it gets 100< in the summer and 30> and very wet in the winter. It can be difficult to find a year round boot. Please cut them open.
Regarding reaching out to brands. I would like to hear your take on Gaucho Ninja. Barefoot shoe company that i believe are the only one in the barefoot realm that does what they does. High quality leather goods that looks to be on par with traditional boot brands, but i haven't tried them.
Please cut this in half. This boot is exactly the type my coworkers would buy, and we need to know if it will last! My biggest fear is the direct sole infusion. You have got me hooked on "It MUST be a Goodyear welt." and my fear is that the sole will delaminate and have the boot "talk" within six months. My crew and I are Landscapers/Maintenance workers. We'll walk on asphalt edging, turf grass for weed-wacking, ladders, lifts, rocks, mulch, ect... We work in the Florida high humidity and heavy seasonal rains. We consider it money well spent if the boots last a year. The more information we can get, the better our decisions when buying.

I always liked Wolverine for a mass market work boot. Solid for the price point
I did not know Wolverine made so many different brands. Wild!
I remember Brooks with wolverine then

I have Duroshocks for my wintertime boots. Like having suspension on your boots.
can you do a review/cut apart of the Jim Green Numzaan? Pretty please 👉👈🙏
Definitely interested in seeing these get chopped
Question, when you cut in half, why do you first cut with an exacto knife and then the machine, why not straight with the machine?

I would love to see you review a pair of Brant Footwear minimalist shoes. They are the best, most durable minimalist shoes on the market.

Nice video, as always!
Please cut: Dieviers, Dundas, Thursday Black Label. :)

Do redwing supersole 2.0 and supersole x

Would like to see a pair of Hush Puppies from 1982 cut in half.

Can you do the redwing logger max boot USA or overseas versions
Canada West boots please. I would love to see a review of them. Either a pair of their work boots or a pair of their WM Moorby non-work boots.
I need help picking a boot!

Goruck MacV1 boots. Test them out 👍
I’d like to see you cut a pair of Courteney Selous boots, hand made made in Zimbabwe.
Cut them please!!! (give Toaster some cat treats for me)
Let's see how strong the *click* nylon shank is

Get into raw denim. It's a very similar concept to boots, where the point of it is to fade and form to yr personal body.

Just buy 2 pairs and switch them out to avoid “cheese feet”.

Cut more work boots!
Wolverine boots have been a let down lately. Their durashocks use to be so nice and they came with durashock insoles. Get cheaper and cheaper.
That is sad to hear. I have a 4 year old pair of durashocks. I hope I don't regret replacing them.
@Green_Expedition_Drgn i hope for your sake your next pair will be fine.
