@@jonasholzem2909 There’s a lot of love for attention to detail and the craft. Converse just corporatized re-soling and revamping Chucks by hand in single batches.
great vid and stoked to see the Vans boots. if it does well, would you consider doing the Adidas Terrex hikers as well, or the Under Armour ones? that would be sweet.
I have the Adidas Terrex. Regardless of whether or not he cuts one open, and regardless of his finding, I have found it to be a VERY competent, durable, and comfortable boot.
@@Pharto_Stinkus I had mine for almost a decade, I threw it away because I wanted a new pair. Adidas make a hell of a boot. They make the GSG boots for swat team in Germany.
video idea, since you've cut the jordan 1 shattered backboard in half, i think it'd be interesting to see a "fake" or replica jordan 1 shattered backboard cut in half to see the difference if any
Wish your were around before I retired. When I started in the electrical industry, I spend a fortune on work boots before finally coming across the one I purchased for the next thirty years.
So, it's another footwear company going out of their ordinary market and doing so in a terrible way. I guess making boots is turning into the shoe market equivalent of offering AWD or 4WD with every car.
@Drew Cook I have a very old pair of Converse boots that are over 15 years old and they were the best pair of boots I've ever had. I just wish they would come back with another set like the ones I own. I'd buy three pair so I'd never be without them again.
Converse has been making boots since before Chucks. Converse made rubber galoshes before. I'm not saying these boots aren't trash, I'm just saying that Converse has a long history of making boots.
Would love to see you cut open a Parkhurst boot, they are similarly priced to Grant Stone but are made in USA. Would like to see what corners they cut.
I love the streetwear look of these and have them in my wishlist. although I'm saddened by the quality and not sure if I will get them unless I find them on sale...Thanks so much for making this video..
Ive owned these for a lil over a year now. I love them. Super comfy and love the look and get a lot of compliments actually. Im slightly hurt that the quality is so poor though. The bottom sole is separating a tiny bit from the front but I’ll deal with that later. Btw I got them on sale. Just wait for holidays or end of season.
I'm grateful you made this video. Was about to purchase this boot because it looks unique. Was expecting to be ok materials but I know the truth. I appreciate it.
I worked as a bartender for many years, used many shoes and the best was made by ecco, most comfortable, most durable shoes (moccasins) I ever had. Biggest disappointment was Timberland. I wold like to see review about ecco shoes please.
I definitely agree on the 8.8 cut-centered score. This was a very good job today. I am surprised how easy it is to cut through this though as I thought there's be more resistance.
I'd be curious to see how the Chuck 70 Explore boots look cut in half. They look better made and even retail for $20 more. Since they are Chuck 70s I'd hope they'd continue their track record of excellence.
You know, I bought some Harley-Davidson "Chuck Taylor" look alikes that have a suede leather upper for $50 from Amazon. "The Baxter" is the style name and they're made in Mexico. Very comfortable, except, of course, the lack of arch support just like Chuck Taylors. The point is, there's a possibility that they're made better than these boots, and, at $120, these boots are not priced accordingly, at least, that's my opinion.
I had my eyes on those for a while now, the Harleys. May I ask how long have you been using them(or how long do you use them in a usual day) and what activities do you do with them? Thanks
@@joshuasim8019 well, The Baxters by Harley are actually skate shoes, mainly because of the soles, nice & gummy, like Van's, DC's, etc...but, I play drums and that's what I mostly use them for. Of course, I wear them prior to and after playing, which, includes two days a week practicing and once or twice a month gigging. I used to wear wrestling shoes but their high pricing is what caused me to do some searching for another high top replacement. Love 'em!! Btw, I had to buy 1 full size bigger for a good fit, which, includes having to send the first pair back & wait for the second shipment, no biggie tho. Oh ya, the logo is cool too, it almost looks like the punisher logo!!
Hi, your presentation of the great features of the Nick's boots impelled me to order a pair of 6 inch, high arch, waffle soled Urban boots! I paid 600+ and have to wait until February 2022 for my prized Nick's, keep up the great work!!
LMAO. I have this shoe! I got it on sale last Christmas for like $60. Not something I bought for the long term quality to be fair, I always knew it wasn’t going to be any comparison or in the same world as my actual GYW boots. Definitely looks good though. A little chunky but I enjoy it.
I'd love to see some winter boots compared and cut. This time of year I wonder about the the differences with insulated and waterproof boots. Also more Toaster.
I've been holding onto a pair of Converse Chuck boots...the sole is different in style. I love the upper for it but of course over time the sole separated some. I found this video looking into if I could resole the boot to keep the upper (and maybe replace any sections for comfort and resilience). Nice video, thanks! Checking out other ones to see if you have anything similar.
Thanks for doing this! I’m curious about winter boots. Brands like Columbia make synthetic winter boots and I wonder what you would think? I live in Canada and it gets to -20 with lots of snow hahahaha
You should try boots from Vagabond! It's an ethical, high quality Swedish brand that I've worn for years and I think they're really good. Would be interesting to know what you think of them!
I have a pair of the black ones. They're not boots, but I like the look and I got them on sale for half I think. Just hold out for the sale if you want a pair
I have a pair of black Converse boots almost like these and they are the most comfortable things I've ever owned! Like really. I don't know how long they would hold up doing anything serious but I've had mine a year and wear them everyday and I won't buy anything else. I hope they don't stop making them.
Great video. I love to see videos on a variety of boot and shoe types. It would be fun to see some on more zero rise boots and shoes like the Lem's you cut apart.
oh man, I was just looking at these, thank you god you did a review! Just as expected! Thank you! Can you also do the leather converse, also loooking at those *eyes*
I have the leather winterized Chuck Taylors. Goretex and fleece liners. Been wearing for 2 years. The only issues are some wear at the heel and the forefoot. Easily fixed with some Shoe Goo. But they are horrible on slick smooth surfaces, even when new. I can wear these all day with no problem. I've also walked around NYC all day in them without aching feet.
Would it be worthwhile doing a video on just insoles? Comparison, price, recommendations? I would definitely be interested. Love your channel and videos
Damn, just bought these. So far they've been very comfortable to walk around in. Of course I'm not using them for any real work or anything. I just wear them here and there when the outfit calls for them. If I can get a couple years out of them, I'll be happy. Lol
Seeing some of these videos makes me wonder how the cheap knockoffs I grew up with stack up? Like all those discount shoe chains. I almost wonder if they are made identically with the exception of all the logos and branding
I have an 18ish year old pair of Converse work boots and honestly they're the best pair of work boots I ever owned. They don't look anything like this pair, however.
I found these in black at a converse outlet for 40$ definitely not for working they fell apart in 3 weeks but there r comfortable great for casual use for sure
I had mine for 2 years and got alot of miles out of them .the sole was great butt had a problem with the heel the plastic broke down and had someone sharp parts after i cut them out I still wore them
Thanks for the commercial, I'm 53 and if my hair line had changed I'd like to think I'd notice by now. But instead it looks like I'll have a full head of hair into my old age.
I have a question, what would be a good boot for a lady? I live outside the US and have tried both Geox and Clarcks. Geox was pretty good, light weight and water proof. Clarcks on the other hand is the exact opposite despite being pricy.
20 years ago I bought Converse work boot from guide gear .absolutely Best Work boot composite toe. I have ever owned. Discontinued. Boot lasted HVAC Tech
Great video! I would LOVE to see a pair of Daytons or Canada West boots cut in half. There seems to be a lack of representation for Canadian boot manufacturers here (which I understand, as you're located in the US). Btw, the Canada West Romeos are basically gyw Blundstones! *Wink wink nudge nudge*
Dear @RoseAnvil, i recently bought the "Timberland Dalston Vibe" boots for women. I was wondering if you could make a video on them. I appreciate your videos a lot but it was hard to find a mid-quality winter boot at a decent price point as a women nontheless. I got these Tims for 135€ (155 USD) instead of 170€ (193 USD), which is ok but i have the suspicion that the upper leather isn't that thick so I hadn't bought it for the original prize.
I don't even like converse, but I would probably pony up for a suede/leather pair. My favorite cheap work boot that I wore a few pairs of were at Tractor supply. It was their house brand Schmidt 8in tall steel toe. Went on sale for 90 bucks once or twice a year. I'd get about 8months our of them on concrete/asphalt and little over a year on dirt. So comfortable, they stopped making them sadly
Could you do a series of other popular dressy boots like Ecco and Johnston and Murphy to list a couple. I have worn these brands for about a decade and IMO I have felt the Ecco’s to be more comfortable than the J&Ms, but would love to see if there is a tangible reason for this. Great videos btw, been watching your videos since early 2020 and this year I finally purchased my first pair of Iron Rangers thanks to your channel. I plan to get a pair of Nicks Americana or Falcons next year.
Great content, great videos overall. However, lol, I personally would also enjoy seeing boots being put through various environmental exposure treatments and tests to help understand how a certain work boot performs
Converse just had a sale. I paid $16.32 for a pair of these.. I could tell they were cheap but dayum I got em for the right price.. I’ll probably just wear em in the rain now after seeing the make quality.
Coming from someone that used chucks exclusively before buying their first pair of boots, I really liked the aesthetic of these boots. But I would never trust converse with anything that's supposed to last.
I would love to see you cut open the converse run star hike. They look like normal chucks but with hiking rubber underneath? Would love to know if they are also lacking like this model or if thzy actually are the same quality as the normal chucks
I asked to try on a pair of Converse "boots" at a local Finish Line & when the kid brought the box out the left boot was already coming unglued at the toe.
I have a pair of these. They are cheap and they are the most comfy boots/hightop shoes I own. And there is no way I would argue with a single thing you said about them. Now how about testing a pair of boots from Origin USA?
After watching a few Rose Anvil vids and learning about glued on soles like these Converse, I was thinking about my pair of Danner Fullbore boots that seem to be constructed in the same way as I don't see any stitching on the bottom. Had them for about a year now, feel great for long walks. but now I'm concerned about its long term durability and was about to order a second pair. Should I be concerned?
Can you do a review of the Origin Maine work boot? I am a big fan of jocko willink and his company's "Made in America" ethos, so it'd be great to see if their boot construct is up to scrutiny by you.
I just bought a pair thinking i could have them resoled. It's a bummer it's laminated. However, if its blown out soon it looks to have enough material that it actually could be soled properly. Hopefully so. Because i want to resole it with a leather stack heel and dr sole super grips.
These sneaker boots would be really cool if they were built better. I'm really trying to be careful these days to spend more for what will last longer. So tired of the cheap products being put out. I'd like to see a Thorogood 1957 Series boot cut. I recently picked up the 814-3600. Would be interesting to see the difference over their other moc toe that you've done.
I have a pair of pine green monochrome Chuck rain boots from 3 or 4 years ago and they are pretty cool. They were only $40 from the Converse outlet. They are just a completely rubber Chuck Taylor with wool flocking as the lining. The tongue is also fully gusseted. So far my feet have never gotten wet while wearing them. The only downsides are that they don't breathe and like they were not comfortable but I did put a gel insole in though and that made a huge difference.
Since you're doing "tennis shoe" brands, how about the Reebok Rapid Response composite toe duty boot? I wore them for years, and only recently realized how much I hate them.
Plugging for OBRA, still curious if their Chuck Taylor-esque shoes are that much better. Their angle is sustainability and ethical manufacturing which complicates things.
I would like to see in a future video the Adidas Superstar Boot version :) Please i know you did the Superstar in the past so it could be a cool followup to that video
A product that turns the term "break a leg" from encouragement to a threat. Why are there voids where the ball of the foot is? that's a part that takes a lot of wear, so those voids will make it wear down faster.

I love the handmade chucks to boot conversions. But converse did the aesthetic dirty with this one imo.
These handmade ones look really good, they caught me by surprise!

That's a great idea but he needs to buy a high quality replica.
Decent chance that the replica’s the same quality or maybe even slight better
YESSSSSSSS
Wish your were around before I retired. When I started in the electrical industry, I spend a fortune on work boots before finally coming across the one I purchased for the next thirty years.
what brand is that?
Wow, didn't know about the chuck mods that are happening in Japan. Awesome to learn about it. Great video, can't wait for the Vans one!
Here in Indonesia there are also several people who do this too hehehe
Thanks for finally removing the laces before cutting. It always hurt a little bit every time you would cut through those brand new laces!
But he's just cutting the boot it goes to in half anyway...what would he do with all of those single, spare laces?
@@shepherdofnone6512 they will come in handy for other chucks. Better yet, with diy ideas, you can repurpose spare laces for something creative.
I was looking forward to the lace cutting.
Uggg. How pathetic. They're laces.
So, it's another footwear company going out of their ordinary market and doing so in a terrible way. I guess making boots is turning into the shoe market equivalent of offering AWD or 4WD with every car.
It's the faux work wear trend that's going on right now in fast fashion, it'll blow over soon enough.
@Drew Cook I have a very old pair of Converse boots that are over 15 years old and they were the best pair of boots I've ever had. I just wish they would come back with another set like the ones I own. I'd buy three pair so I'd never be without them again.

I'm not saying these boots aren't trash, I'm just saying that Converse has a long history of making boots.
Esspecially because there’s great awd systems and equally as shitty awd. Of course the same goes for 4wd in this case.
But all my wheels drive when i go vroom
Gained so much insight on boots and even sneaker brands… would love to see some dress shoes on here!

Can't you just put a chuck taylor label on a pair of Thursday boots???
I'm lucky that I was blessed with having an affinity for utilitarian aesthetics. LOL Good luck.
They’re on sale for $49.97 on the website

Damn, just bought these. So far they've been very comfortable to walk around in. Of course I'm not using them for any real work or anything. I just wear them here and there when the outfit calls for them. If I can get a couple years out of them, I'll be happy. Lol
Ive had these before. They were originally priced at around 120usd, but I got it for like 30. 2-3 months have passed and the sole just came off
How about reviewing some Wesco boots. They've been around the longest but don't have many reviews. Great channel!!!
Seeing some of these videos makes me wonder how the cheap knockoffs I grew up with stack up? Like all those discount shoe chains. I almost wonder if they are made identically with the exception of all the logos and branding
I had these and after the second time wearing them I noticed they were delaminating. I returned them and luckily got my money back
I have an 18ish year old pair of Converse work boots and honestly they're the best pair of work boots I ever owned. They don't look anything like this pair, however.
Save them! See if a boot repair shop could restore them when the day comes because you have an awesome pair of boots.
I was really thinking about these till I saw this video.
I found these in black at a converse outlet for 40$ definitely not for working they fell apart in 3 weeks but there r comfortable great for casual use for sure
Can you do a video on your storage of all the chopped up shoes.? Is it just put back in the box and put on a shelf in a big closet?
I had mine for 2 years and got alot of miles out of them .the sole was great butt had a problem with the heel the plastic broke down and had someone sharp parts after i cut them out I still wore them
I'm looking forward to the day we get in depth look at steel and composite toe work boots.
Nice Video.. I see a lot of people wearing Skechers boots with steel toe and comp. Have you done a video about Sketchers?
For the price, get the UltraBoosts on sale. I love those things.
Thanks for the commercial, I'm 53 and if my hair line had changed I'd like to think I'd notice by now. But instead it looks like I'll have a full head of hair into my old age.
Cool video! This makes sense since converse is not a boot company. So it’s more of a sneaker that looks like a boot shoe.
I love the look of this. But, if some issues were updated and fixed, this would be a nice comfortable boot.
I have a question, what would be a good boot for a lady? I live outside the US and have tried both Geox and Clarcks. Geox was pretty good, light weight and water proof. Clarcks on the other hand is the exact opposite despite being pricy.

Btw, the Canada West Romeos are basically gyw Blundstones! *Wink wink nudge nudge*
Dear @RoseAnvil, i recently bought the "Timberland Dalston Vibe" boots for women. I was wondering if you could make a video on them. I appreciate your videos a lot but it was hard to find a mid-quality winter boot at a decent price point as a women nontheless. I got these Tims for 135€ (155 USD) instead of 170€ (193 USD), which is ok but i have the suspicion that the upper leather isn't that thick so I hadn't bought it for the original prize.
I don't even like converse, but I would probably pony up for a suede/leather pair.
My favorite cheap work boot that I wore a few pairs of were at Tractor supply. It was their house brand Schmidt 8in tall steel toe. Went on sale for 90 bucks once or twice a year. I'd get about 8months our of them on concrete/asphalt and little over a year on dirt. So comfortable, they stopped making them sadly
I've got a new video series suggestion. Could you cut a pair of square toed cowboy boots in half from various brands. Ariat, Cody James, Durangos ect.
I've owned a pair of Converse Made In Maine boot before, it's a really nice boot.
Could you do a series of other popular dressy boots like Ecco and Johnston and Murphy to list a couple. I have worn these brands for about a decade and IMO I have felt the Ecco’s to be more comfortable than the J&Ms, but would love to see if there is a tangible reason for this. Great videos btw, been watching your videos since early 2020 and this year I finally purchased my first pair of Iron Rangers thanks to your channel. I plan to get a pair of Nicks Americana or Falcons next year.
Great content, great videos overall. However, lol, I personally would also enjoy seeing boots being put through various environmental exposure treatments and tests to help understand how a certain work boot performs
Man you always got awesome videos thanks for sharing!!!
Man...those are the funkiest looking boots since the diaper boots. Always fun watching you take down and break down stuff great video man

Coming from someone that used chucks exclusively before buying their first pair of boots, I really liked the aesthetic of these boots. But I would never trust converse with anything that's supposed to last.
They could have used a better leather and jump up the price. I love the design and color combo.
That is exactly what I’m looking for thank you
I'd like to see the Irish setter Ashby. Great video
Wow, thanks for this review and the info on this shoddy piece of footwear.

They are just a completely rubber Chuck Taylor with wool flocking as the lining. The tongue is also fully gusseted.
So far my feet have never gotten wet while wearing them.
The only downsides are that they don't breathe and like they were not comfortable but I did put a gel insole in though and that made a huge difference.
I’ve been looking at those vans! Fingers crossed over here. Not expecting the greatest but for $200 or more I could go get a pair of decent boots.
Would love to see Birkenstock Bryson shoes cut in half!!! Will comment on every video to see it!! Haha
Can't wait to see the Vans boot. Shame for Converse. They did a walking type boot years ago and it was awesome. Ahame they did not carry that on...
Hey I do the Eastland lumber up or the wolverine wedges. Appreciate you videos and info.
Man you're my favorite . Please do converse construct
any opinion on SENDRA BOOTS?
they are made in Spain. I assume they are super well made and cutting them open would be a huge shame.
Since you're doing "tennis shoe" brands, how about the Reebok Rapid Response composite toe duty boot? I wore them for years, and only recently realized how much I hate them.
Plugging for OBRA, still curious if their Chuck Taylor-esque shoes are that much better.
Their angle is sustainability and ethical manufacturing which complicates things.
I'm curious about Nike airforce 1 gtx high tops. What are quality, comfortable, waterproof, easy to maintain boots for casual winter wear?
i know you want to keep the other half of the cut boot, but you should try to rip the sole off of the uncut one.
You should review the sm wholesale wwii boots to see if they’re good reproductions!
Think you could do the Tecovas Knox? It’s a wedge sole/cowboy boot combo
Would love to see a cut in half review of some Danish Duckfeet boots!
You should do a video on Walmart Brahman boots, I can't expect anything good from a 50 boot.
I would like to see in a future video the Adidas Superstar Boot version :)
Please i know you did the Superstar in the past so it could be a cool followup to that video
A product that turns the term "break a leg" from encouragement to a threat.
Why are there voids where the ball of the foot is? that's a part that takes a lot of wear, so those voids will make it wear down faster.
