You should start reviewing military surplus boots from around the world(Swiss, German, Russian, American, etc). That would make a fantastic addition to your already great channel.
He’s complimenting his viewer’s intelligence by allowing us to discern with our own eyes after learning from his previous videos. True character development.
Once the outsole is worn down, you can trim the heal and then sand the outsole flat and basically turn it into the midsole and cement on a new outsole. Works pretty well and you still retain some of the squish that you initially had with the softer outsole.
I’ve heard that this doesn’t work very well. Cured polyurethane, so I’ve been told, doesn’t accept glue or cement well and the sole can just delaminate. Most boot resole places won’t touch them and the results from places that will are not highly reviewed.
@@RyanAlexanderBloomthere is a lot of adhesives out there. Permabond Flex is one that is recommended for flexible PU. There is so much surface area , I find it hard to believe it would not work.
When he says it's canvas lined instead of leather lined is okay because of the "price point." The difference in price for the manufacturer is cents. Our boy pushes slave made garbage as long as his pockets are getting filled
yeah these boots are trash and he didn't let them have it. I've said it once and I'll say it again, his sponsored boot videos are always extremely lenient
I had a similar pair to these and the only issue I found was that the sole got a little brittle and it became easy to chip away little chunks on the heel and edges. Very comfortable and after more than a year of construction work they were still in great shape.
That boot is BEAUTIFUL! Love the leather and canvas look too. I like the sole construction and would sacrifice resolving for solid construction. I would definitely buy this boot
I've noticed that you started "saving" the laces. Are you going to do anything with them, or are you just putting them aside to appease the people who would complain about you cutting them? Just curious.
I've had a few pair of Ariat work boots, some of the most comfortable boots there are but within 6 months they're shot it seems. That is a nifty construction style though
Yeah I'm really digging their style, have you found anything that looks similar but is a quality boot? I'm digging this canvas on leather,. I live in the desert and that seems like it would make a ton of sense.
@@2mitts I wear just normal leather work boots from redwing. I never liked the canvas upper, I prefer a full leather boot. I live in northern AZ and bounce between 80 and 100 deg weather in the summet and never got really hot in an all leather boot
I have some Ariat cowboy boots that I love. They’re far from my nicest made boots, but they might be my favorite pair. They’re so comfortable. I wear them all day even on long days when I’m walking a lot.
Yess! continue to do some more work style boots like this. Was literally talking to a friend today about how I wished you did more hard work boots and then I came home to this video.
these boots are badass if you work inside a shop setting due to the canvas mesh. the cascade 8 in square toe is better for outdoors field setting due to having a solid leather exterior. both are awesome and comfortable boots!
one advantage of the composite toe is you can get through metal detectors with them on unless the boot has a steel shank which would be good to know for people going through security everyday
Another great video, lots of content coming out lately! I’d really like to see some Alden Indy (403/405) cut in half as I’ve been umming and aahhhing about them for a while.
Review Origin boots PLEASE! They are made in Maine with bison leather and are the prettiest boots I’ve ever seen if you like the look and character of natural leather. I really want to see this video as they are not too well known but seem to be an awesome company.
I love Ariat work and riding boots, have worn them for forever. I've gone through quite a few pairs, but that's my fault as I'm not known to be remotely nice to my boots... In usage or in care. I also have an uneven stride that burns through soft outsoles at an amazing rate. Not all their boots are made equal, but they do make nice models for sure.
Could you do a video on the USMC RAT boot, I've been thinking about buying them for work and I'd like you to do more reviews on military boots. Thank you in advance!
Polyurethane soles/midsoles are actually MUCH more comfortable and shock absorbing than any combination of leather, felt, cloth, and vibram as would be found in a traditional boot. You can also attach classic vibram outsoles to them and leather sock liners. You can also 3D mold them to get a better overall ergonomic anatomical fit. See Chaco sandals for instance. Extreme comfort and durability. It’s sort of the best of all worlds EXCEPT you really can’t resole them easily. Once it cures it’s really hard to glue or otherwise adhere a new outsole to it. It’ll never be the same the second time around. If anyone will even attempt it. So it doesn’t make sense to buy a $500 pair of boots made that way. But a $200 pair that are more comfortable… that’s a pretty ok trade. The best possible compromise in my opinion would be to construct the boot in a classic fashion but have a poly layer in the midsole that isn’t “direct attached” to the upper, but sort of floating, so that you could deconstruct and resole the boot more easily. But you still get a shock absorbing layer that will never pack out or lose its loft.
I’ve had a pair of Artist work hog slip ones for about 8 years now. They don’t get as much wear anymore but they have held up magnificently. Seems the construction quality has gone down since moving manufacturing to Bangladesh. My pair were made in Mexico.
Just replaced my RigReks with Redwing 2233's, personally loved the Rigteks... Great comfortable boots (for the summer) definitely not for the winter months tho.... all in all pretty decent boots
For $150CAD the Dakota 400-2 is the best bang for you buck that I could find. It also uses a different last than most of dakota's boots so it fits wide feet really well. It's an 8 inch steel toe with a composite plate.
@ian trofimov Ok. I didn't have that experience. Also the last of the boot was really important to me because of my odd sizing. Most boots are far too narrow for me to wear.
I have a pair of Ariat Cascades that I wore in a chicken plant every day for over two years, through chemically treated water, running up and down stairs, and over asphalt and concrete daily, half office job, half inspection. I replaced the laces and insoles a few times but the shoes are still great.
I have a pair of heritage lacers. Seems they wear really well. Almost as if they force you to walk correctly. Would like to see you cut up some cowboy boots. Haven't seen many on this channel.
Please review Bottega Veneta's famous Puddle Boots and their new Puddle Bomber Boots! They're mostly made of rubber but I'd be curious to see if there's anything special about the type of rubber they use, the construction of the boots themselves, or anything else. I would also love to see some Golden Goose reviews!
I really enjoy this channel. I bought a pair of Thurogood Moc Toes partially based on the comments from this channel and am happy. I'm concerned about various boot companies sponsoring the channel and hope the opinions aren't compromised. I haven't noticed anything yet.
Looks similar to Red Wing supersole boots. I'd like to see a comparison! I've had one pair with the Chevron supersole for almost 10 years with no imminent signs of failure
I have a pair of Redwing Supersoles steel toes. It's been a great boot. Did have to have the 2.0 sole replaced with a Viibram. Its also a round toe which is my preference.
Great to hear... considering a pair of them to rotate with my Thorogood 6" mocs. The Supersole 2's I had started falling apart. Outsole itself and both heel counters broke. :( Sad as they were so comfortable.
I’m a Red Wing Sales Associate and you’re completely correct! The supersole 2.0 even takes a step above this construction. We also have a whole line of welted construction with direct attach…so nothing new :)
I bought a pair of these in size 14, they seemed almost clown shoe like outta the box. They were huge! But they did fit correctly. I would say that the sipes on the outsole didn’t last the first 20 miles but the rest of the boot help up great to a season of paving. I’d buy another pair if they made a few slight tweaks to the toe box and threw a shank in there
This boot looks great, going to have to get me a pair! I don't see a shank but it may not need one considering it's all one piece. Throw a little nano water proof spray on the canvas and youre good to go 👍
I’ve use this model and work in warehouse sales in South Tx (Hot) Cement all day . Cold storage , freezers - some acid - dirt and lists of waking. getting a new pair at 3 years because I have acid sports on the upper. Good comfy boot and cheap enough to be replaced every couple of years
I have these and they feel good once broken it, however the leather seems to scuff very easily. I don't do as much hard labor as I used to but just hitting the underside of a stair marks the leather.
Been a long time follower of your channel and enjoy watching your thorough videos. Thank you and keep up the good work! Ever heard of Oxford Steels or Proxon Safety Shoes? I recently came across them and have ordered a pair. They seem to be ASTM certified for toes and soles and also seem to be Goodyear welted with full grain leather construction. I’m someone who has to dress up (formal) at work but also require steel toes when I visit our mfg plants. Would be great if you could look at them and see if you want to make a video about it. I’m guessing there would be many like me who need formal shoes but also a steel toe. For the price and the niche market they tend to, I hope they’re worth it. Thanks!
I got a pair of these exact boots a couple months ago. I really wanted to keep them but the heel was far too narrow. Seemed like a quality boot though.
I feel like you should count the safety toe as a con. In my experience you either are required to have it on the job site or you're probably not going to look at boots with safety toes anyway. Or often there's a no safety toe cap version as well. Seems better to compare these with other steel/composite cap boots rather than call it a con. Great videos. Wish we had as many options for boots in Australia as you guys do.
When we're talking about a WORK BOOT it's hard to call a safety toe a con even if you dont currently need it. I'd always get the safety toe with work boots rather than buying one without and then having to get a second pair later if I need it.
I wear safety toe boots in my personal workshop. I really, really don't want to wind up in the hospital because I dropped something heavy. They are also very useful when moving something heavy, you can use them as a min-jack with caution....
I was almost about to pull the trigger on these... Went with the GA boot Carbo-tec Please do a ga boot Carbo-tec. I don't know the longevity of them quite yet..but they are ridiculously comfortable. Or any of them that have the special comfort core insole
Love your videos and I just ordered a pair of White's Perry moc-toe largely due to your evaluation. I also need a recommendation as to the right glue to reattach soles that have come off.

Lucchese Lace Up Range Boot. Would love to see a review. Looks like a stylish moc toe, but it would be coulomb to see if the construction matches the price. $295 retail.
How thick were the leather bits? Waterproof test? I know you said the canvas wasn’t lined so that obviously wouldn’t be, but always interesting to see how well water beads on different leather (if at all)
Ariat square toe are the only steel toes I wear (usually Redwing or thorogood for the soft toe) I'm glad they've come out with a lace version, because some of the job sites require safety toe AND laces lately. great vid!
Do you plan on making a video on the raw jeans you wear? Second time attempting on dying a natural veg tan leather belt with natural indigo. First time wasn’t that great turned out looking grey, even after multiple dips. Would I have to strip the finish/oils? How would I do so?
Hello mister Kay, I was wondering if you have done anything with Naot brand shoes. My wife insisted I try some … I am a long time red wing and doc martens buyer but we found some used and they were great. Less than a year later the shoes sole cracked and I can’t find a cobbler who thinks they can restore them as made… Vibram soles are great but they didn’t think it would be the same.
Are the hex nut eyelets functional or cosmetic? I can see the purpose of this type of boot but a moc toe is the squarest I want my boot toe to be. Style-wise it just wouldn't be my preference. To each their own.

Remember for everyone playing the Toaster drinking game at home: If Toaster actually touches the boot, you have to chug your current drink. 👌😉

He also didn't measure the leather thickness, which he usually harps on, specifically for work boots.

You should do best boat lace comparison
Cutting Swedish army surplus M/59 boots would be very interesting, they are quite cheap and really good for the price.
I had this boot and I work construction. The only downside I had was the sole wore out too quickly.
I think it is a very nice looking boot and at the end of the day that is all that really matters.
