    I am a former Army Paratrooper and Airborne Ranger and served for 8 years total with 3 of those years in Republic of Viet Nam. Corcorans were brown during WWII and changed to black color sometime in the mid to late 1950's. I served in the 82nd Airborne Division from 1966 - 1968 and in those 2 years had only 2 pair of Corcorans; 1 pair for my dress greens and another pair for BDU use. Since we ran 5 miles before breakfast in those days, I had the sole built up and the heel remaining allowing me to run backwards while calling cadance. We spit shined our boots daily and thus the leather became soft and supple after several applications of Lincoln paste polish. By observation of the Corcoran knock offs, I immediately note the stitching difference and the eyelet difference. These are to me, a cheap Chinese kock-off. Cheers, Dr. Don R. Lahti

I unload trucks and stock shelves at my local grocery store (10-12k steps a night). They are literally the only shoe I have only had one day of break-in tenderness. My only wish is that they made the US line in either women's sizes or one size smaller in the men's.

    My all time favorite cap toe is the White's MP boot. Since I've gotten those I've barely wanted to wear anything else. Seeing those cut in half would be pretty cool, or you know just go all the way can cut a viberg cap toe service boot in half.

    I think Gripfast boots are pretty cool. They have an Iron Ranger look while also having a steel toe. I got my first pair of Gripfast when I was 15 (I'm 39 now) and went through a few pairs. I switched to Docs then Solovairs because they were a bit more comfortable.
    I recently bought my first Iron Rangers in black (of course) and with the extra leather insoles, they're the most comfortable boots I've ever owned. They look better as they get scratched and beat up. Iron Rangers are my new favorites. I'm thinking about getting another pair in a different color or a pair of Blacksmiths in black after I'm done with my Christmas shopping.

    I've got the Beckett Simonon ones, snagged them for $180 (they go on sale a lot), excellent value in my opinion. I've seen a lot of videos on your channel and have tried a few pairs of boots in that $150-350 range, and the Becket Simonons are definitely as good as boots that cost twice as much. I also have a pair of blundstones, and I doubt they'll last as long, but damn they really are comfortable.

    Regarding Thursday Boots, I purchased a pair of Captain Boots precisely a month ago and have been quite impressed, to be honest. Before wearing them, I used Black Rock to moisturize them, polished them with Tarrago She Cream, and broke them in without much effort or discomfort with the $200.00 price. Hence, it is a good value, and I have read several reviews before making the purchase, and they communicate the same. I like my Thursday Boots and plan to purchase another pair later next year but in another color.
    I realize the Iron Ranger boots are possibly better quality, but they are much more expensive in the $350.00 + range.

    I have the Beckett Siminon Dowler and like them quite a lot for the price. They are very soft yet rigid. No break in period at all and look surprisingly sharp for how low the cost is.
    I also have the Keen Ridge Flex in black and grey (wearing them now). They are extremely comfortable and versatile. They almost wear more like a sneaker.
    The tread has held up well, but the construction isn't the cleanest. There are some sloppy glue spots, loose, uneven stiching, but they've held together pretty well for a cement construction. The rubber Keen bellows flex panel on the top of the foot is a complete gimmick. It adds flexibility but the rubber split after like the third or fourth wear. That compromised the water proofing obviously. Overall not impressed for a Keen that's over $200. But I still like the brand.

    I really wish Ariat would make the bison leather boot again. When I first started watching your channel and learning about boots, that boot was going to be my first purchase. Instead, I got some Thursdays and ended up buying 5 more pairs lol. I would still buy the Ariat bison boot though if they brought it back. They pretty much only have western style stuff now which is ok. I do have a few pairs of those. The Booker Ultra Western boot is a nice ok boot. That is my go-to boot for when i need to slip something on quick or wear around the house. The highland boot seemed like a good boot, so I am not sure why they stopped selling it. And by the way, the Thursday LOGGER boot now has a thicker heel cap with a Thursday brand outsole. I bet too many people, myself included, were complaining about the heel cap being so thin. I had to take mine to the cobbler to fix that issue.

    The wide toe box you get with the Jim Green Boots has saved my feet. It's basically impossible to buy a extra wide boot these days. The widest I can find is 2E with ALL of the big name boot makers and all the no name or cheap boot makers. About 5 years ago I started having a hard time finding 4E wide round toe boots and now you cant find them at all. Why anyone would want their feet squished and jammed into a narrow toe box I can not understand. Thank god for Jim Green.

    Not a cap toe, but I'd love to see you review the Jim Green AR8 boot. They're also planning to upgrade their insole as well as releasing a new "slim fit last option" in early 2023 which sounds like it might be something special. I never even heard of Jim Green before you cut up the Razorbacks, and since then I've become a big fan of their footwear, so I'm interested in what's coming from them.

      On a serious note, the decline (and subsequent possible resurgence?) of British industrialism is depressing. We literally invented the Industrial Revolution, and now everything’s made in China.
      I would reccomend visiting England before the temperatures soar in the summers. The verdant green of the fields and trees is unlike anywhere else in the world - it’s something to do with the weather and soil that makes plants here so beautifully rich in their freeness, almost psychedelic. Last summer I remember flying home, and instead of the verdant fields of the true Emerald Isle, they were all burnt brown and dead. I nearly cried on the plane.
      We also have a tonne of windmills now, and you can kick a ball at the windmill and it’ll go up really high.
      Any of the cities are nice to visit and exceptionally safe - London being the safest large city in the western hemisphere. Things you hear about knife crime are bollocks - the U.K. has a knife murder population adjusted rate of 2.6/100k. The USA has 4.96/100k. The US also has a 12x higher overall murder rate compared to the U.K.
      Not pissing on the US here, I’m a citizen - I’m just dispelling myths spread by certain idiots on the internet. There is literally no city in the west safer than London - there’s a big difference between that and places like Paris where there are hordes of homeless scamming you.
      Anyway, you should visit I’d be happy to show someone the land.
