I do agree. You can see the top of the boot pushing out the pant leg. If he is going to wear them that way he needs to have a strap to cinch the shaft or use a zip tie. Also the pants leg look to long for the boots creating a slouch look so he should have cuffed the jeans. I prefer the right length wranglers with boot cut so I don't have to deal with it.
My boot cobbler highly recommended ostrich leather boots. He claimed they were the most durable and long lasting boots that provided the most comfort. He said if you bought boots that were made from animals that crawled or swim the boot leather would not last because it would eventually crack. The other leather he recommended was Kangaroo. He said it was the most popular leather until ostrich came into the scene.
Ostrich is a great leather. It’s naturally scratch resistant so it does seem more durable and softer than bovine leather. It’s pricey though. Kangaroo is actually my favorite leather. It’s the strongest leather in the animal kingdom and is great on shoes and boots.
I disagree. I don't mind the jeans being on the slim side. I think that looks better on me. Some brands had shafts that fit me better. Thanks for watching!
Nice video…for basic info. I own a horse farm, so I’ve been in boots all my life. I’m a business man, in a suit often and I wear boots then too. I have boots in all price ranges. Lucchese was the preferred choice for quality up till 10 years (or so) ago. Black Jack is a great off the shelf brand offering a wide variety of styles. I only wear snip toes, so many brands now focus on square toes- I’m old and I can’t get wide toes in my stirrups. Lucchese still makes a great custom boot , starting around 1200 I believe. I have 3 pairs of Chisos snip toes. I think Chisos are the best value of any off the shelf boot. If they had more styles I’d recommend them over Black Jack. I’ve bought a couple of pairs of tecovas…out of curiosity. They are fine for a fashion boot, but for all day wear - at least for me - they are trash.
I thought I was stuck with basically compromise, until I shopped in Gatlinburg, Tenn. Cant remember the name of the store. But my eyes were opened to ANY boots or hat I might want is out there I look. I grew up wearing the "Biker harness" boots.....Kids....I would wear out two pair per year, with driving and play outdoors. At 61, retired medical... My one pair have now lasted over eight years. No resole needed. God Bless.
I would recommend a relaxed boot cut jeans or a slim fit boot cut get the length of jeans longer than you normally wear with shoes etc , the stack jeans looks good plus helps covers the boot shaft
It's funny, we tuck pant legs in English riding boots, rain boots and sometimes work style boots, but you have to hide the shaft of a cowboy boot which is its main attraction. It doesn't make sense to me ..
Hey Dave my honest input and constructive criticism is you should go with a straight or regular width leg opening like the ones found on the 501 and 505s not the slim or skinny leg opening tho. I think you will like this cut and dimensions
Great point....I will NEVER tuck my pants into my boots. And having to 'pull down' the pant legs every time I get out of a vehicle looks like , I don't know, like I have fleas on my legs.....Wear your boots while trying on new pants. Size variation will have you going back to exchange , if you don't try them before buying.

@@stephentorgerson4249 it is gatekeeping. It's people trying to tell someone how they should wear boots, because they think they know better. There probably are a couple of people who are genuinely offering heartfelt advice, and I appreciate it, but I just disagree. As I've said before, you have to give me a good reason why. There are reasons why you wouldn't wear a blazer with shorts. But there isn't any reason to wear one cut of jeans over the other, besides the fact that you like it better. And again I have to reiterate, I don't even like skinny jeans, and these are skinny. They're just cut slimmer.
I wear my rubber outsole boots more than anything else. I wear them so much that the leather sole doesn’t last as long as I’d like them to. I do have boots with the leather outsoles but usually don’t wear them unless it’s dry outside and when I know I’m not going to be getting in a lot of dirt or mud.
I have a wide and flat foot. So square toe is a must for me. I have a pair from Tecovas. Beautiful boots. Haven’t worn them in a while but I’m tempted!
I'm a Texas man born & bred. I used to always wear Roper Boots but once I went to Square Toes? I wear them everywhere, even in the summer when I'm wearing shorts. 😅 Can't beat a good quality fitting boot. They last for years. I only own boots & 1 pair of house shoes. 🤟
Sorry dude. Skinny jeans just look a bit goofy. Not a good look in my opinion. But wear what you like. That’s what is important. They are called boot cut jeans for a reason.
Olathe is the favorite for me. Love some tall flashy buckaroos. Cowboy boots are best when they’re over the top and cool as hell. Any yeah… sometime you gotta get REAL county and wear those suckers over your jeans to show off the stitching and colors. I’m from the stick though and we get crazy with our boots.
Can't believe I missed this one but I've been working my arse off lately. Regarding Texas, having grown-up in the '70s watching Westerns and shows like Dallas, I imagined half the dudes were wearing Tony Lama boots, a seersucker, and a Stetson. Well, not too many but there I did appreciate the few men who worn them (the hat and boots) when I first visited in about 2007. Nowadays, few and far between...unless you head to Fort Worth. I'm trying to get everyone at work to wear a cowboy hat into work on Fridays. We shall see. Anyway, my problem with cowboy boots (have a couple pair) is they look great, but are so damm hard on the knees. I'll check all these out. What would you say are the most comfortable pair you've tried? Next up Cowboy Hats? My go-to brand is Resistol, made just down the road in Garland TX. Cheers!
Thanks, Jim! From my small sample size of these four brands, Chisos were far and away the most comfortable. They make a great insole that is very comfortable, but also make the foot shape able to fit other drop-in insoles (unlike other brands).
I have been wearing cowboy boots a while. Started wearing them with khakis when I go into the office or work functions recently and get a lot of compliments. Just bought some black Ranch Road boots with a French Toe for “dressing up.” Haven’t had them out yet, but can’t wait .
The Tecovas is the only brand I might consider buying, I’m surprised Hyer boots weren’t in the list because they were the first company to make cowboy boots. The only brand that I buy now are Republic Boot company all of their boots are handmade and they also make custom made boots just for you. They use nothing but real leather to make their boots from the soles to the heals and insoles and are the most comfortable boots you’ll ever wear.
There were several other boot brands I would have loved to put in this video. But the video was already getting pretty long. I need to check out Republic Boot Company! Thank you for watching!
Hahaha I was thinking the same way! This guy could’ve given himself a lot more credibility if he had just spent the 30 dollars to get a proper pair of bootcut jeans
No no. Leather doesn’t get tougher. The more you walk on it, the more it will wear. Sole-savers are just a way to prolong the life of your boots so you don’t have to resole them as often.
No Toby's correct. A traditionally made cowboy boot has a leather sole that will get harder and more durable as time goes on. Between this and the skinny jeans you're WAY out of your depth on this topic.
In addition if you do a lot of work in wet conditions a tippy or sole saver can actually trap moisture and ca accelerate the destruction of the leather. But since most of these styles will just be worn to the office it's probably not that big of an issue 😅
I have a pair of distressed round toe boots. They weren't terribly expensive, I bought them from our local Farm and Fleet. I use products specifically designed for care of distressed boots.
I would highly suggest that you purchase some jeans that were meant to be worn with boots. Wrangler cowboy cuts are my favorite and are the cheapest. Ariat, Levi’s, even Kohl’s brand bootcut jeans work amazing. But hey they’re your legs so do what you want.
I just don't like the look of boot cut jeans. But I'll say what I've been telling others: I appreciate the comment, but at the end of the day, the video is about the boots, not jeans.
I totally understand, it’s just a miniature pet peeve of mine. I loved your video, I have no idea how you buy so many expensive boots but someone has to so we can hear the review! I might buy one boot at that price range once in my life, better do my research!
Great video, I wear my cowboy boots all day every day with no exceptions...tactical boots when training but that's another story, just get a proper pair of jeans, the shaft of the boot looks kinda funny with jeans that are too tight, specially if the shaft is 11 inches tall, for that... skinny fit and stylish look for for something like Levi 514 or any boot cut jeans like the Ariat M4 or old wester from wrangler, that'll make your cowboy boots look better
This video came on while I was in another room. It only took a few seconds for me to recognize your voice. I’ve watched many many of your perfume videos in the past!
I've been wearing cowboy boots since 1985 no shoes, I got my first pair in 1963,but being raised in New York in the early days I couldn't get them.but in 85 I started back .
For off-the-rack boots, i dont think you can beat Heritage Boots out of Austin. But I'm pretty partial to custom made; there's just nothing like wearing a pair of boots made to fit your foot.
@@BeastMadeReviews I remember reading somewhere that the stitching serves a dual purpose. Decorative but also helps maintain the shaft up. Without the stitching the shaft would just fall down. I could be wrong but I'll try and look and see if I find that info again.
@@culichi0776 hmm. Interesting. I don't know for sure, but I have seen boots without embroidery. In my research, I didn't see any info about the embroidery serving a functional purpose, but maybe you're right.
Almost all of the old standard boot companies, like Justin, Dan Post, Tony Lama, they have gone way off the rails and are living off of a once good reputation. I liked your list. A friend has some Tecovas boots and he likes them a lot. Boots are hard to find. I wear Ariat work hog boots all the time. Comfortable. I work in my boots. As for a nice dress boot? I don't do that anymore. My dress boots are some Allen Edmond Patton cap toe boots. It is getting harder and harder to find decent boots anymore, be they lace up work boots, cowboy boots, you name it. Companies want to use glue and inferior components. I know Thursday is now making a cowboy boot. Not too expensive and thought I might order a pair to check them out.
yeah, I know a couple of brands that are using inferior construction and charging a premium price. I don't like that. For some companies, it's hard to tell if they are cutting corners unless someone cuts the boot apart (like Rose Anvil). I would be really interested in seeing the boots from Thursday. I've stayed away from them for a long time because of the hype and controversy mix. But they do make boots at a very attractive price, so I guess no one can complain about that. Thanks for your comment!
@@BeastMadeReviews OK, will pull a check on Thursday. I have seen Tecovas AND there is a store within reachable distance via pick-up truck AND I could try them on! That is really important to me. The 28yrs of military service in crap combat boots ruined my feet. No more arches. The Roper heel is a must. And to think I used to wear tall riding heels a long time ago? Yes, Weston at Rose Anvil does good work. Thanks for the videos. The viewers cannot test all these products you examine, so thanks for the information.
Might need to dish out a little extra but Chisos is the best product you can buy aside from custom boots. Every other brand as you've mentioned especially Lucchese
I'm gonna keep wearing them there so comfortable and built so well! The chisos number one is my favorite boot jist got a resole on them with rubber sole savers!
I started wearing cowboy boots in high school back in the 70s. Still wearing them and I just bought a new pair a few weeks ago. I have 2 pair a pair of Ariets and a pair of Cody James. I have a serious question for you. I never took very good care of my boots and here I am at 60 years old cleaning and conditioning them a few times a year. Please tell me, am I supposed to be putting leather conditioner on the shafts? Or just the vamps? Thanks so much. By the way I drove truck all my life and most of my career was long haul coast to coast pulling reefer . My boots really fit into that occupation because I use to see the bull haulers out of Nebraska and Wyoming and they all wore cowboy boots. They are the real deal!
thanks for watching! As for leather conditioner, I would put it on everything. The leather might not absorb as much on the shaft, but you can always wipe off any excess left over. The same goes with shoe polish too. You'll use way more of it on the vamp, since it scuffs more, but the shaft starts to lose some of its color and luster, a little polish will bring it back.
I bought a pair of Artists, not top shelf but great just the same. Because the sole was hard rubber when I had the toppy put on the sole I also got the shoe guy to put what they call here a lady's heel toppy, it's harder than the rubber heel so now I get that essential "clunk" when walking. BOOM.
Just started wearing boots got a Tuesday suede boots not cowboy but still good and some Ariat definitely cowboy and I'm in love now I want some stingray boots I really love how they look
if you find the right pair they are extremely comfortable. i wear a pair that isn't considered high quality but they are really comfortable and that's what matters to me. Round toe,Square Toe. If you go shopping in person the majority of boots are square toe, 1 because they are more comfortable because a wider toe box and 2 because they are popular. Also the leather soles are meant to be scuffed up, that's how you get traction on your boots.
thank you! Were you the one who suggested cowboy boots? I know someone did but I forgot who. It was on my radar for a while, but after I got the comment I realized I needed to expedite the video idea. 😁
I really like the roper style boots this was a great video and awesome boots, one way i found was to wrap your boots on the shaft with a shoe lace or anykind of string to make the jeans go around the boot, you can def wear a slimmer jean with boots without them looking bad, but I don’t think they looked bad at all it just what some people do to help the boot fit and look better Edit: I also find having a higher sock helps prevent the leather from rubbing onto your skin and causing irritation
Some nice boots, but the wrong jeans. Might I suggest the Wrangler retro slim bootcut jeans. I wear them with all my boots. Look great, price. No skinny jeans please
When I'm asked "how do I break in my new boots ?" Answer; WEAR THEM. It's not the boots that 'NEED' to break in...Its your feet than get used to all of the support. 'Mole skin'.....Or the new clear ,waterproof long bands (bandaids) help alot. Put it on BEFORE you get blisters. With the record heat here in S. E. Arizona, I can see so many reasons cowboy boots were 'invented'. They help with the heat while walking kn hot roads and rocks....Walking the dog,for example.
No hate but those jeans are too tight for cowboy boots. I dont like wearing baggy pants either. You should look into Wrangler retro slim boot cut jeans.
😅Great video. Cowboy boots are addictive. Once you get your first pair, it never ends. One of my favourite brands is Alvies, a brand out of Austin, TX.
Hey Dave I like that you are doing Cowboy boots. Last time I was following RUclipsrs was years ago when I was into fragrances and you doing your Fragrance Bros channel. I have been into Cowboy boots too now
My favorite boots that I own are from Don Juan, Rios, and Anderson Bean. All of which are located in the Rio Grande Valley. Lucchese is a staple but they do seem different than the Luccheses my grandfather has owned since about the 70’s. I own a pair and they’re pretty sharp but it’s hard to justify the price tag. The only boot company I’ve heard about on the list is Tecovas. I’d say they’d be good for a dance on the weekend or some kind of gathering but I wouldn’t go to hard on them. Some of the earlier ones I’ve seen had horrendous build quality but hopefully they’ve fixed that by now.
I have one pair of dress shoes for work. Otherwise I just wear sneakers or cowboy boots. And just the 1980s pointed toe Justin's and Tony Lama's. The older I get, the more I wear just what I want to wear, and that's just my cowboy boots.
I love cowboy boots. My favourite brand is Hyer. There is nothing wrong with the width of the boot shaft. You're wearing the wrong style of jeans. Get some straight leg or boot cut jeans and the boots will look better.
This is a comment I hear a lot in comments, but never in person. In reality, there are no "right" jeans for boots, only preference. To me, I would rather wear jeans that flatter me and show a little boot imprint than have to wear baggy jeans that look terrible on me. Thank you for watching! I will have to check out Hyer.
My first pair of shoes were cowboy boots. I've been in them for 58 years now. Sure I own sneakers too but boots are my go-to. BTW....I love Sketchers slip-ins....lol. I have worn boots from just about every large manufacturer and some custom builders too. If you can afford it, definitely get your foot measured and have someone custom build your boots. However, if you can't afford that, I highly recommend Tecovas. I own 3 pairs from them which have served me well. I count on my boot to be tough and long-lasting. Tecovas Prescott have filled the bill. I used to buy Olathe boots almost exclusively. But they have been sold to Anderson Beane and aren't the same any longer. Lucchese makes some really nice boots as well. I've had good success with calf skin and ostrich. I prefer smooth ostrich but opinions are like @$$holes. Kangaroo is pretty good. I had a pair from elephant once that were extremely difficult to break in but lasted a looooooong time. My answer to the question, "Why cowboy boots"? Because they're freekin awesome..... Now, with all the selections of insoles, they are even better.
@BeastMadeReviews it looks tacky, I've worn cowboys most of my life. Strait or boot cut pants for cowboy boots. Side note, jeans should be longer than your normal pants it called stacking. So when you pick up your leg the pants don't ride up the boot.
I love my Tony lamas. Best boots I’ve ever put on hands down I can wear them all day. With some 13MWZ best combo. Idk how these people can wear skinny jeans with boots looks wrong. Just give your sister back her pants
Tony Lamas look great! I really want to check some out in person some time. As for jeans, I'm not a gatekeeper. I think people should wear what they want. I think these jeans (they're not skinny jeans) look great with cowboy boots.
Another great reason to wear boots is walking through the woods, with briars, thorns and protection from snake bites. I realized this one day wearing tennis shoes, briars would grab my laces and hang my feet up, boots cut right through brush.
100 year old Cowboy Boot brand here out of El Paso Texas, unfortunately your information is kind of inaccurate and the size your wearing is too big for you. The cork bed sole is a sign of a low end boot quality. I'd be happy to reach out to you to discuss.
You’re definitely an urban boot buyer. Them skinny jeans and the boots you chose are dead giveaways. Go to Texas find a dance hall and pay attention to what the locals are wearing. The older over 65 gentleman will be wearing more traditional pointed toe cowboy boots and the 50 and younger crowd will be wearing square toes. Hyer boots are my preferred brand.
The jeans aren't skinny jeans. And they look just fine. I wear them every week and not a single person has commented about the pairing, other than anonymous internet folks. If you are trying to criticize me, I don't know why you would think I would listen to anything you have to say after that. Maybe you should come to my state, where people have better manners.
It’s supposed to sit down, go around the boot and be on the spurs shelf but OK I wear boots every single day and if I warm like that, I would definitely get bullied you don’t wear boots like that nobody ever has
@@THECHEVYGUY. I've worn them and had zero comments in the real world. Again, the video isn't about jeans. If you like boot cut jeans, and you're worried about the opinions of others, great, wear the way you want.
The hipster skinny jeans are ridiculous, Obviously not a clue as to how to wear cowboy boots with proper jeans. I watched the video 3 times because it's so damn funny.😂😂😂 please don't come to Wyoming or Texas looking like that because you will be laughed at constantly. Thanks.
@@BeastMadeReviews Thank you sir. The Tecovas are a pretty good boot although they are only 11" shaft. The other boots are just OK IMHO. You did not mention Tony Lama made in USA, Anderson Bean,made in USA, Etc.Etc. It seems to me that you are targeting a particular Urban, Upscale audience. That's Great, More people should be wearing Cowboy Boots.!!! That being said, you should teach people the "RIGHT WAY TO WEAR BOOTS WITH JEANS." No offense intended, I just thought the video didn't show how great Cowboy Boots look with Cowboy Cut Jeans. Ask any Cowgirl her opinion And I'm sure you will be surprised. All respect to you. It's the Cowboy Way.!!!
I’m not targeting anyone. I’m just highlighting good boots. This wasn’t intended to be an exhaustive list. I couldn’t list or show every great boot brand. As for the jeans, maybe just take a breath and relax. Let people wear boots the way they want instead of being a gatekeeper.
They weren’t skinny jeans. But I will say this, only anonymous RUclips commenters leave snarky comments about my jeans. In real life, no one says a word, and gives compliments on the boots.
I'm sorry buddy! but I've been wearing cowboy boot for about 60 years now, and I can honestly say that you're never going to find a real cowboy or ranch hand ever wearing any of those boots! they are what we call internet junk! it's most likely that you will never find any of those brands in any real country western store in the U.S. My personal favorites are Lucchese or Tony lama. I have about twenty pair of boots and several of them are over twenty-five years old. they last forever because you get what you pay for! don't waste your money on cheap internet knock off's. get the real deal and you will love them forever!
Those brands are great. I could have mentioned over a dozen great brands. I wanted to stick to ones I had experience with. I'm not recommending these for work boots, necessarily. But having worn these a lot, I can tell you that they are definitely not cheap junk and will last the rest of your life.

When I am at the gym I wear sneakers but any other time I wear cowboy boots. My favorite brand is Rios of mercedes followed by Black Jack.
Yeah okay Mr chump change
Ariat and Chisos are the only brands I buy. Ariat for work and Chisos for dressy occasions.
I don't think the shafts are all that big, just that your pants are too tight/slim, for these you need a straight cut jean. Great choices tho!

Love wearing cowboy boots!! Have several pairs.
Typically wear Lucchese & BlackJack.

I'm trying to get everyone at work to wear a cowboy hat into work on Fridays. We shall see.
Anyway, my problem with cowboy boots (have a couple pair) is they look great, but are so damm hard on the knees. I'll check all these out. What would you say are the most comfortable pair you've tried?
Next up Cowboy Hats? My go-to brand is Resistol, made just down the road in Garland TX. Cheers!
Thanks, Jim! From my small sample size of these four brands, Chisos were far and away the most comfortable. They make a great insole that is very comfortable, but also make the foot shape able to fit other drop-in insoles (unlike other brands).
I have been wearing cowboy boots a while. Started wearing them with khakis when I go into the office or work functions recently and get a lot of compliments.
Just bought some black Ranch Road boots with a French Toe for “dressing up.” Haven’t had them out yet, but can’t wait .
Anyone who is thinking of getting cowboys, please get a Jean that fits around the shaft without strangling the boot, it’s just not a good look.
If anyone is reading his comment, please get whatever jeans you like best. No one will care.
The Tecovas is the only brand I might consider buying, I’m surprised Hyer boots weren’t in the list because they were the first company to make cowboy boots. The only brand that I buy now are Republic Boot company all of their boots are handmade and they also make custom made boots just for you. They use nothing but real leather to make their boots from the soles to the heals and insoles and are the most comfortable boots you’ll ever wear.
There were several other boot brands I would have loved to put in this video. But the video was already getting pretty long. I need to check out Republic Boot Company! Thank you for watching!
Did you hear about boot cut ? Wrangler's are best, slim fit especially :) Try
Hahaha I was thinking the same way! This guy could’ve given himself a lot more credibility if he had just spent the 30 dollars to get a proper pair of bootcut jeans
you don't need a "sole-saver" the sole gets tougher as you walk, it will be fine
No no. Leather doesn’t get tougher. The more you walk on it, the more it will wear. Sole-savers are just a way to prolong the life of your boots so you don’t have to resole them as often.
No Toby's correct. A traditionally made cowboy boot has a leather sole that will get harder and more durable as time goes on.
Between this and the skinny jeans you're WAY out of your depth on this topic.
In addition if you do a lot of work in wet conditions a tippy or sole saver can actually trap moisture and ca
accelerate the destruction of the leather.
But since most of these styles will just be worn to the office it's probably not that big of an issue 😅
@@walterpiper8947I have a lot of leather soled shoes and boots (not cowboys though) What makes cowboy boots so special that they don't wear?
I have a pair of distressed round toe boots. They weren't terribly expensive, I bought them from our local Farm and Fleet. I use products specifically designed for care of distressed boots.
I would highly suggest that you purchase some jeans that were meant to be worn with boots. Wrangler cowboy cuts are my favorite and are the cheapest. Ariat, Levi’s, even Kohl’s brand bootcut jeans work amazing. But hey they’re your legs so do what you want.
I just don't like the look of boot cut jeans. But I'll say what I've been telling others: I appreciate the comment, but at the end of the day, the video is about the boots, not jeans.
I totally understand, it’s just a miniature pet peeve of mine. I loved your video, I have no idea how you buy so many expensive boots but someone has to so we can hear the review! I might buy one boot at that price range once in my life, better do my research!
@@tristinbihn9691 thanks for watching! Luckily I don't have to buy all of them. Some of them were sent for review.
I love my cowboy boots I wear them all day , at work, I run in them and play with my kids they are by far the best footwear I have ever owned or wore.
Great video, I wear my cowboy boots all day every day with no exceptions...tactical boots when training but that's another story, just get a proper pair of jeans, the shaft of the boot looks kinda funny with jeans that are too tight, specially if the shaft is 11 inches tall, for that... skinny fit and stylish look for for something like Levi 514 or any boot cut jeans like the Ariat M4 or old wester from wrangler, that'll make your cowboy boots look better
This video came on while I was in another room. It only took a few seconds for me to recognize your voice. I’ve watched many many of your perfume videos in the past!
thanks for watching!
I've been wearing cowboy boots since 1985 no shoes, I got my first pair in 1963,but being raised in New York in the early days I couldn't get them.but in 85 I started back .
For off-the-rack boots, i dont think you can beat Heritage Boots out of Austin. But I'm pretty partial to custom made; there's just nothing like wearing a pair of boots made to fit your foot.
I would love to have some custom made boots/shoes. I'm sure it's a completely different experience.
3:47 the stitching is there to hold the shaft up.
the embroidery is just decorative.
@@BeastMadeReviews I remember reading somewhere that the stitching serves a dual purpose. Decorative but also helps maintain the shaft up. Without the stitching the shaft would just fall down. I could be wrong but I'll try and look and see if I find that info again.
@@culichi0776 hmm. Interesting. I don't know for sure, but I have seen boots without embroidery. In my research, I didn't see any info about the embroidery serving a functional purpose, but maybe you're right.
@@BeastMadeReviews who knows. Either way, great video.
@@culichi0776 thank you!
Almost all of the old standard boot companies, like Justin, Dan Post, Tony Lama, they have gone way off the rails and are living off of a once good reputation. I liked your list. A friend has some Tecovas boots and he likes them a lot. Boots are hard to find. I wear Ariat work hog boots all the time. Comfortable. I work in my boots. As for a nice dress boot? I don't do that anymore. My dress boots are some Allen Edmond Patton cap toe boots. It is getting harder and harder to find decent boots anymore, be they lace up work boots, cowboy boots, you name it. Companies want to use glue and inferior components. I know Thursday is now making a cowboy boot. Not too expensive and thought I might order a pair to check them out.
yeah, I know a couple of brands that are using inferior construction and charging a premium price. I don't like that. For some companies, it's hard to tell if they are cutting corners unless someone cuts the boot apart (like Rose Anvil). I would be really interested in seeing the boots from Thursday. I've stayed away from them for a long time because of the hype and controversy mix. But they do make boots at a very attractive price, so I guess no one can complain about that. Thanks for your comment!
@@BeastMadeReviews OK, will pull a check on Thursday. I have seen Tecovas AND there is a store within reachable distance via pick-up truck AND I could try them on! That is really important to me. The 28yrs of military service in crap combat boots ruined my feet. No more arches. The Roper heel is a must. And to think I used to wear tall riding heels a long time ago? Yes, Weston at Rose Anvil does good work. Thanks for the videos. The viewers cannot test all these products you examine, so thanks for the information.
@@sisleymichael I appreciate it! Let me know what boots you get. I'd love to hear your opinion.
@@BeastMadeReviews Roger that. Still shod currently, but I will eventually get more.
Might need to dish out a little extra but Chisos is the best product you can buy aside from custom boots. Every other brand as you've mentioned especially Lucchese
I'm gonna keep wearing them there so comfortable and built so well! The chisos number one is my favorite boot jist got a resole on them with rubber sole savers!
Back in mid 80's I had a pair of Grey Sharkskin boots loved them. Don't see sharkskin anymore and the Grey went with everything
I started wearing cowboy boots in high school back in the 70s. Still wearing them and I just bought a new pair a few weeks ago. I have 2 pair a pair of Ariets and a pair of Cody James. I have a serious question for you. I never took very good care of my boots and here I am at 60 years old cleaning and conditioning them a few times a year. Please tell me, am I supposed to be putting leather conditioner on the shafts? Or just the vamps? Thanks so much. By the way I drove truck all my life and most of my career was long haul coast to coast pulling reefer . My boots really fit into that occupation because I use to see the bull haulers out of Nebraska and Wyoming and they all wore cowboy boots. They are the real deal!
thanks for watching! As for leather conditioner, I would put it on everything. The leather might not absorb as much on the shaft, but you can always wipe off any excess left over. The same goes with shoe polish too. You'll use way more of it on the vamp, since it scuffs more, but the shaft starts to lose some of its color and luster, a little polish will bring it back.
I love my number ones in magic black! Best boots I've ever tried!
yes!
I bought a pair of Artists, not top shelf but great just the same. Because the sole was hard rubber when I had the toppy put on the sole I also got the shoe guy to put what they call here a lady's heel toppy, it's harder than the rubber heel so now I get that essential "clunk" when walking. BOOM.
Just started wearing boots got a Tuesday suede boots not cowboy but still good and some Ariat definitely cowboy and I'm in love now I want some stingray boots I really love how they look
if you find the right pair they are extremely comfortable. i wear a pair that isn't considered high quality but they are really comfortable and that's what matters to me. Round toe,Square Toe. If you go shopping in person the majority of boots are square toe, 1 because they are more comfortable because a wider toe box and 2 because they are popular. Also the leather soles are meant to be scuffed up, that's how you get traction on your boots.
Great video, glad to see you finally make your way into some cowboy boots!
thank you! Were you the one who suggested cowboy boots? I know someone did but I forgot who. It was on my radar for a while, but after I got the comment I realized I needed to expedite the video idea. 😁
It's those Ranch Road boots for me! Bob Dylan even wrote a song, "Boots of Spanish Leather"!
I hope you can find some! I think they put their business on hold a while after I published my video
I really like the roper style boots this was a great video and awesome boots, one way i found was to wrap your boots on the shaft with a shoe lace or anykind of string to make the jeans go around the boot, you can def wear a slimmer jean with boots without them looking bad, but I don’t think they looked bad at all it just what some people do to help the boot fit and look better
Edit: I also find having a higher sock helps prevent the leather from rubbing onto your skin and causing irritation
Some nice boots, but the wrong jeans. Might I suggest the Wrangler retro slim bootcut jeans. I wear them with all my boots. Look great, price. No skinny jeans please
Thanks! The boots are great. But I think boot cut jeans look bad, and I really like these jeans.
When I'm asked "how do I break in my new boots ?"
Answer; WEAR THEM.
It's not the boots that 'NEED' to break in...Its your feet than get used to all of the support.
'Mole skin'.....Or the new clear ,waterproof long bands (bandaids) help alot. Put it on BEFORE you get blisters. With the record heat here in S. E. Arizona, I can see so many reasons cowboy boots were 'invented'. They help with the heat while walking kn hot roads and rocks....Walking the dog,for example.
Chisos are nice! If I’m spending half a grand on boots, I’m skipping the other brands and getting chisos. Hyer look good too
Yes they are!
Consider getting some wider pants. Maybe so slim straights for a start
I have wider pants. But I think these look fine.
For sure gotta get some cowboy cut jeans my man 😂
I think I'm good. I think these jeans look great.
The Weston is what I got. Same color as yours
Awesome! Great boots!
No hate but those jeans are too tight for cowboy boots. I dont like wearing baggy pants either. You should look into Wrangler retro slim boot cut jeans.
I think it makes me look cool.
I love my Chisos, they are built well, and super comfortable.
Oct 2024 - Ranch Road not available. All sold out and website "taking a pause".
😔
Waiting for those timberland cowboy boots to drop in nevuwary
😅Great video. Cowboy boots are addictive. Once you get your first pair, it never ends. One of my favourite brands is Alvies, a brand out of Austin, TX.
Totally agree! I haven't tried Alvies yet, but they're definitely on my radar! Thanks for watching!
Yes! Tell me about it!😊
Wow he showed the Weston ostrich round toe that I just bought 😆 crazy that this video popped up
Hey Dave I like that you are doing Cowboy boots. Last time I was following RUclipsrs was years ago when I was into fragrances and you doing your Fragrance Bros channel. I have been into Cowboy boots too now
Right on!
Chisos No.2 are great!
Best boots you can buy, Chisos, Alberta boots (they make the Canadian mounties boots and boots for the Calgary stampede), and Hondo boots.
Must be nice having a D or EE width foot. Those of us with narrow feet have way fewer options. Sucks.
I’ve got a pair of Tony Lama boots that are 44+ years old and still wearing them
Great line of boots! Top notch!
Got a pair of Stewart's of Arizona 40+ years old
Great video! I have two cowboy boots. Ariat and Canyon Trails.
Very cool!
My favorite boots that I own are from Don Juan, Rios, and Anderson Bean. All of which are located in the Rio Grande Valley. Lucchese is a staple but they do seem different than the Luccheses my grandfather has owned since about the 70’s. I own a pair and they’re pretty sharp but it’s hard to justify the price tag. The only boot company I’ve heard about on the list is Tecovas. I’d say they’d be good for a dance on the weekend or some kind of gathering but I wouldn’t go to hard on them. Some of the earlier ones I’ve seen had horrendous build quality but hopefully they’ve fixed that by now.
Cool video! Have you ever heard of brand called Caborca Boots from Mexico? I got a pair and they’re really nice..
I haven't! I'll have to check them out. Thanks for watching!
I get my boots from Spain A more narrow shaft and Cuban heals, Ultra Cool.
Try walking into the OK Corral in Skechers 😅
Hey I forgot to ask you Dave, the black boots you take off using the boot jack in this video are those Chisos?
yep! Those are the same Chisos in this video. I used the Chisos Boot Jack, so I thought it would be best to pair the boots with it.
I have one pair of dress shoes for work. Otherwise I just wear sneakers or cowboy boots. And just the 1980s pointed toe Justin's and Tony Lama's. The older I get, the more I wear just what I want to wear, and that's just my cowboy boots.
any thoughts on the brand, Cuero?
Haven't tried them yet!
I love cowboy boots. My favourite brand is Hyer.
There is nothing wrong with the width of the boot shaft. You're wearing the wrong style of jeans. Get some straight leg or boot cut jeans and the boots will look better.
This is a comment I hear a lot in comments, but never in person. In reality, there are no "right" jeans for boots, only preference. To me, I would rather wear jeans that flatter me and show a little boot imprint than have to wear baggy jeans that look terrible on me. Thank you for watching! I will have to check out Hyer.
But where do the chisos rank for you? Are they your personal favorite, number one? Where 😂
I wonder if he’s glad he found ranch road. Can’t figure
My first pair of shoes were cowboy boots. I've been in them for 58 years now. Sure I own sneakers too but boots are my go-to. BTW....I love Sketchers slip-ins....lol.
I have worn boots from just about every large manufacturer and some custom builders too.
If you can afford it, definitely get your foot measured and have someone custom build your boots.
However, if you can't afford that, I highly recommend Tecovas. I own 3 pairs from them which have served me well. I count on my boot to be tough and long-lasting. Tecovas Prescott have filled the bill.
I used to buy Olathe boots almost exclusively. But they have been sold to Anderson Beane and aren't the same any longer.
Lucchese makes some really nice boots as well.
I've had good success with calf skin and ostrich. I prefer smooth ostrich but opinions are like @$$holes. Kangaroo is pretty good. I had a pair from elephant once that were extremely difficult to break in but lasted a looooooong time.
My answer to the question, "Why cowboy boots"? Because they're freekin awesome.....
Now, with all the selections of insoles, they are even better.
The guy I bought my boots from told me to scuff up the bottoms when I left the store. Starting to think that was a bad call
Yeah I’m pretty sure he told you to scuff up the bottoms so you couldn’t get a refund if they didn’t fit right. Sorry man that’s not cool.
Skinny jeans are for kids. Boot jeans are the best choice😅
I think grown men should wear what they think looks best on them.
Never wear skinny jeans with cowboy boots....
wear what you want. These obviously go perfectly together.
You need to maybe skip wearing those boots with skinny jeans bud
from now on I am ONLY wearing them with skinny jeans. Also, these aren't skinny jeans.
Ranch Road looks like they might be out of business. Website says they are “taking a break”.
yeah, looks like it. Such a shame. They were great boots.
Becks from Amarillo custom made. Not cheap but worth it.
Do not wear skinny jeans with cowboy boots. If you can see the shaft (top), the pants are too tight.
Why would someone care if you can see the shaft or not?
@BeastMadeReviews it looks tacky, I've worn cowboys most of my life. Strait or boot cut pants for cowboy boots. Side note, jeans should be longer than your normal pants it called stacking. So when you pick up your leg the pants don't ride up the boot.
But who cares? I've seen plenty of folks with boots and the last thing I think of is what their pants are doing.
Love tecovas
I love my Tony lamas. Best boots I’ve ever put on hands down I can wear them all day. With some 13MWZ best combo. Idk how these people can wear skinny jeans with boots looks wrong. Just give your sister back her pants
Tony Lamas look great! I really want to check some out in person some time. As for jeans, I'm not a gatekeeper. I think people should wear what they want. I think these jeans (they're not skinny jeans) look great with cowboy boots.
What is the shaft circumference of the Chisos boots?
I couldn't find the official number on their site, but I just measured and they are about 13.75 inches
@@BeastMadeReviews fantastic, thank you!
@@BeastMadeReviews Love the channel by the way! Keep up the good work!
Those boots are very awesome looking
I think so too!
Another great reason to wear boots is walking through the woods, with briars, thorns and protection from snake bites. I realized this one day wearing tennis shoes, briars would grab my laces and hang my feet up, boots cut right through brush.
100 year old Cowboy Boot brand here out of El Paso Texas, unfortunately your information is kind of inaccurate and the size your wearing is too big for you. The cork bed sole is a sign of a low end boot quality. I'd be happy to reach out to you to discuss.
I appreciate your concern, but the boots fit great. They're all pretty snug out of the box.
Cowboy boots DON'T go with everything - such as "shorts". Here in south Florida, it's mostly T-shirt and shorts, even in the so-called Winter season.
I like the Medium Square toe my favorite and versatile
Why not
You’re definitely an urban boot buyer. Them skinny jeans and the boots you chose are dead giveaways.
Go to Texas find a dance hall and pay attention to what the locals are wearing. The older over 65 gentleman will be wearing more traditional pointed toe cowboy boots and the 50 and younger crowd will be wearing square toes. Hyer boots are my preferred brand.
The jeans aren't skinny jeans. And they look just fine. I wear them every week and not a single person has commented about the pairing, other than anonymous internet folks. If you are trying to criticize me, I don't know why you would think I would listen to anything you have to say after that. Maybe you should come to my state, where people have better manners.
bro, your jeans are killing those boots super tight get boot, cut jeans, please
I think boot cut jeans look like crap. I say wear what you like. It's a boot review, not a jeans review.
@@BeastMadeReviews true where would you like but I don’t think anybody thinks that looks good
@@THECHEVYGUY. I get comments from boot purists, but I think most people actually don't care.
It’s supposed to sit down, go around the boot and be on the spurs shelf but OK I wear boots every single day and if I warm like that, I would definitely get bullied you don’t wear boots like that nobody ever has
@@THECHEVYGUY. I've worn them and had zero comments in the real world. Again, the video isn't about jeans. If you like boot cut jeans, and you're worried about the opinions of others, great, wear the way you want.
We gotta talk about your jeans. You need some western fits.
I think boot cut jeans look terrible. In my opinion they look worse than seeing a little bit of the boot shaft imprint.
Cause their awesome
Smooth ostrich is not a exotic, buy a blackjack caiman tail those are exotic.
With my feet I unfortunately have real problems getting into the nice ones...
No socks in the boots 😅???
for some people! I prefer socks though
@@BeastMadeReviews 👍🏻. Great video btw, very informative
@@kadenkester3674 thank you!
The hipster skinny jeans are ridiculous,
Obviously not a clue as to how to wear cowboy boots with proper jeans.
I watched the video 3 times because it's so damn funny.😂😂😂 please don't come to Wyoming or Texas looking like that because you will be laughed at constantly. Thanks.
What do I care? The video is about boots. Can you comment about the boots?
@@BeastMadeReviews Thank you sir. The Tecovas are a pretty good boot although they are only 11" shaft. The other boots are just OK IMHO.
You did not mention Tony Lama made in USA,
Anderson Bean,made in USA, Etc.Etc.
It seems to me that you are targeting a particular
Urban, Upscale audience. That's Great, More people should be wearing Cowboy Boots.!!!
That being said, you should teach people the "RIGHT WAY TO WEAR BOOTS WITH JEANS."
No offense intended, I just thought the video didn't show how great Cowboy Boots look with
Cowboy Cut Jeans. Ask any Cowgirl her opinion
And I'm sure you will be surprised. All respect to you. It's the Cowboy Way.!!!
I’m not targeting anyone. I’m just highlighting good boots. This wasn’t intended to be an exhaustive list. I couldn’t list or show every great boot brand. As for the jeans, maybe just take a breath and relax. Let people wear boots the way they want instead of being a gatekeeper.
Skinny jeans ? Very funny 😂 bad choice sir.
They weren’t skinny jeans. But I will say this, only anonymous RUclips commenters leave snarky comments about my jeans. In real life, no one says a word, and gives compliments on the boots.
We injuns were the first cowboys.
Where did you find the cows and horses?
@whiskerbiscuit1192 this was after contact, Yankee.
@@georgecuyler7563 so not first? And probably not even second. Good try though :)
I'm sorry buddy! but I've been wearing cowboy boot for about 60 years now, and I can honestly say that you're never going to find a real cowboy or ranch hand ever wearing any of those boots! they are what we call internet junk! it's most likely that you will never find any of those brands in any real country western store in the U.S. My personal favorites are Lucchese or Tony lama. I have about twenty pair of boots and several of them are over twenty-five years old. they last forever because you get what you pay for! don't waste your money on cheap internet knock off's. get the real deal and you will love them forever!
Those brands are great. I could have mentioned over a dozen great brands. I wanted to stick to ones I had experience with. I'm not recommending these for work boots, necessarily. But having worn these a lot, I can tell you that they are definitely not cheap junk and will last the rest of your life.
Justin boots. Nuff said
