You have a great sense of humor! Kick somebody in the face...:D Indeed. I like how you define and classify things without inserting too many of your personal biases into the commentary.
" so when you bout to kick someone in the face they bout to see soemthin really cool " 😂😂 Never thought of it like that but know my Tin Hauls have a new reason to be my favorite
Badass video. I didn’t know any of this. I got a Cody James leather sole square toe boot. So this was nice to know that I am a “purest” with western boot 😂
The fashion sole isn’t as stated. This sole design along with a sponge rubber compound is designed to be used on hard flat surfaces such as concrete. The heal removal is to stave off tripping due to hang ups. Similar to traditional iron worker lace ups.
You are correct, good observation. I guess what I meant was, for the purpose of this video and thinking about my audience, wedge soles in western boots are usually an aesthetic borrowed from functional soles on Thorogoods, RedWings and the like, as you mentioned. Thanks for the comment!
I was thinking similar things. The wedge sole ain't designed for fashion but for WORK!! Most comfortable sole if your gonna be walking or in my personal experience chasing cattle all day (on my feet not on horseback) in the back of a Stockyard. Glad someone else noticed and knows the real intended use for the wedge.
I'm not a physician, but knee pain could be related to heel hight. You may need a shorter heel or maybe your knees are just not used to a heel at all. Sorry they hurt but best of luck to ya!
From my experience a creep sole is not a good option for horse riding as you stated. It’s too thick to slip in and out of the stirrups, which can be very dangerous if your foot gets stuck. A creep sole is good for walking/work, it’s soft and dampens impact. Most horse riders use pure leather soles with a steel shank or thin rubber soles. Also the “fashion sole” is used in work boots and has been for a long time. Red wing for example has been using that sole for a long time.
You're right, I wish I would have elaborated more on those soles. I made this video for my south Louisiana customers who don't usually where wedge soles for work and the majority of my crepe sole customers are riders. I'm generalizing my customers here and never mean to give misinformation so thank you for clarifying! I'm grateful for your time.
this kid was fed some horrible info. He said that leather isn't as durable. My leather soles have lasted for over 5 years as an everyday boot. I got a pair of rubber soles, not even a year and a half in I have a big hole in my boot.
@@GulottasVideo unfortuantely i did and i regret it. First it was not glued properly so i had to give it back , and then it is totally not the same feeling. Should have kept the leather sole
I'm afraid to wear my boots with leather sole. I don't think the leather soles would last so I was thinking to go see a cobbler to put on rubber sole over the leather sole. How long does the leather soles last?
I mean, I would never be afraid to wear out a sole. How long a sole lasts really depends on the wearer and conditions and time spent in the boots. I work indoors and if I wear a particular boot almost every day a leather sole might last me a year. I'd suggest just wearing them until you wear out the sole then put a pair of rubbers on. Thanks for the comment!
Die Party_Pizza Since boot soles are subject to prolonged exposure to moisture, Leather is much better suited for repeated wetting and drying than wood.
@@LawrenceCaldwellAuthor How long they last varies greatly on the wearer and the conditions they're worn in. I can only speak from personal experience and for me, I get about a year of heavy wear.
As far as comfort leather sole every time,for work you need hard rubber such as vibram or double h boots ice soles,foam soles wear out too quick and absorb water,oils,ect from wherever you walk. PS Justin,airat are junk and mostly made overseas buy American double H best boots out there
Double H Ice sole is almost unbeatable, I have to agree with you there. They are very hard though, and for some people a softer sole is a good compromise for cushioned comfort. Always good to have options
dixiedevil1369 I wear Aristotle for dress or just causally since thier light weight and slip proof other wise I have. Em resold in vibrim sole best for me regular heel nit riding heel
Couple of things... Wedge soles been around longer than this fella has been a live.... they have a larger contact surface and they tend to pick up less rocks, dirt, etc. on a jobsite... they are definitely work boots and not "fashion".... I can't believe he said that. (insert face palm) and I never thought I'd get boot advice from a dude with a mohawk... Just stumbled across this channel.
Heheh, I think I confused a lot of y'all with that one. So, I recorded this video for my local customer base, which is south Louisiana, where almost no one wears wedge soles to work, mostly because most oilfield jobs require a defined heel. So the vast majority of my customer have never seen wedge soles on workboots, basically the only boots around here with wedge soles are in the fashion/casual category. The boots in the video, for example, are Ariat Ramblers, which are definitely not a work boot. I am aware of the use of wedge soles on workboots though. This was never meant for a national audience, but I'm so glad you found it, and thanks for your comment! Also, prolly a good rule of thumb to not take advice from a dude with a mohawk, hahah.
This dude don't seem to really know what he's talking about. I mean he's calling a neoprene soled work boot a "fashion" sole. Saying leather isn't durable, which is also the best for riding. Useless video.

There is no video on sole on RUclips , like a basic guide , make another one , thanks for this one

I’ve got the arena rebounds, the leather is ruined. Went to waterproof them and ruined.
Started wearing some el Dorado boots with cowboy heels and my left knee starts hurting at the end of the day
I'm not a physician, but knee pain could be related to heel hight. You may need a shorter heel or maybe your knees are just not used to a heel at all. Sorry they hurt but best of luck to ya!
@@GulottasVideo thanks man I might try a boot with a roper heel instead of the cowboy heel
@@d.j.105 Exactly, that'd be my suggestion.

I ride horses back for a living and the only thing I wear is a leather sole nothing else and they last me just fine
That's pretty much what they're made for so you got the perfect sole type!

Mephilis 78 what Brand do you buy
Rubber sole on a cowboy boot is an abomination.
Every pair of leather soles I've owned end up with holes after about a year to year 1/2
How about something for a doll?
And How much time does it cost on 3:00?
What model Dan post boot was the first one you showed with leather sole please?
I forget the name and I believe that boot has been since discontinued by Dan Post
I like the boots better than I did the Velcro haircut
Hahah
Thanks a lot ! Will you advise to put a protective rubber sole on leather sole ?
Not at all

What are the boots at 2:10 I know there Justin’s but what’s the name of them?
Caddo Brown BR740
The best sole material ? Comfortable , durable , squishy ? Value for money ??
Rubber for working, leather for fashion and riding. Basically.
Double H Ice Out Soles are the best!
Can't argue there!
Puoi scrivere i nomi delle marche?
Can you resolve ones the rubber wear off?
Most western boots can be resoled.
pm price
Why it isn’t actually wood?

go for a walk in clogs and you'll know 'why it isn't actually wood'
For my opinions rubber sole is the best n durable
It certainly is the most durable.

@@GulottasVideo Leather soles are absolutely more durable than rubber.

2:23 what boot is that?
Ariat Turnback Caiman Belly
@@GulottasVideo thanks man looks like a nice boot
Ariat...a premium boot made in China 😂😂
🤣😂🤣😂
Ariat is premium garbage. Worst piece of shit boots ever.
@@JD-tl7ld I’ve owned 7 pairs of ariats, dude nothing is worn on them, over 5 years of work!
Are they???
@@carloszepeda9132 Most of their boots are made in China. Very few are made in Mexico.
