Mine are falling apart right at 4 months. The sole bottom is holding up well, the insole is like new still, the laces are also like new, but the stitching is disintegrating around the sole and the canvas is cracking at the toe guard both shoes are having the same exact problem so I don't think it's a fluke. I got size 10 and they are narrow they never really did break in to my feet. I probably should have waited for size 10.5 to come in stock maybe those are wider but I am size 10. I usually get Vans but I get about 1 year out of Vans so I figured these would far outlast Vans. I'm pretty disappointed with them. Hopefully they fix these issues with the next gen version. Way too much money for them and I'm back to Vans now. I usually wear out the bottom of the soles on vans before anything else.
Wore my woobies shooting and the loop on the heel got caught on a log whenever I stepped over it they’re nice to pull your shoes on but I think I’m gonna cut mine in half so they won’t get caught on anything
Those are Olibertes! A very unique style boot/shoe that were made in Africa. They are the Mojoo in grey suede. Currently Oliberte is only making a few models. They’re made with vibram christy soles (very good) in Canada with USA tanned leather. If you want to find a pair of their older “Made in Africa” collection you should check on ebay and poshmark. Goodluck!!
Mmm well this is kind of a hard one since they're pretty unique. They're somewhat like vans, converse, adidas classics etc in my opinion. However they're definitely much better quality/comfortable. Check their return policy maybe you can try them and if you're not happy with them you can send them back.
I’m not too sure as I’ve never owned a pair of conversed but they do fit a little better than my vans. I think they could process a return if they don’t fit well but you’ll have to check that.
No man, I just got mine and have wider feet, they are actually pretty uncomfortable and squeeze my foot and my pinky toe scrapes against the side and can feel myslef getting a blister.
@@XxTooMuchStupidxX Thanks! After looking around I decided to order a pair of the 5.11 Norris sneakers. Tried them on in store and 10.5 seems to fit me great.
Not too long. Maybe a day or two? I’m used to breaking in leather boots though so your experience may differ. They did release the mod2 recently which look super cool.
Man how did they fit an how are they holding up. I'm a shoe destroyer or a sole destroyer I walk the bottoms out of my shoes. I'm wondering about these (mod-1) from someone that is not-connected to the company. I see loads of reviews,but its hard nowadays to know if its marketing (B.S.). I would love to find a US made do everything shoe. I just don't have lots of money to buy on a humble. So you opinion would be very helpful now that you've had them a minute. I prefer field use more then unboxing you asked. I think it would put you ahead in reviews more then buying an showing new stuff a real how they feel an hold up. If you know what I mean. Have a good one bro
Well, unfortunately here in SWestern PA it's all snow, ice, and slush so I really haven't been able to get them out and about but the soles do seem to be really resilient. I plan on wear a pair to work next spring/summer (powersports service manager/tech) and seeing how well they hold up. My redwing iron rangers have been tanks this past year and have been through heck so I'm interested to see how these hold up. Fit wise, they're fantastic. Takes a little bit for the canvas and toe cap to mold to your food but they they're great
Oh and I forgot to mention, these are absolutely not BS! (I know there's a lot of fake crap out there) And neither are the guys making them. I think they have a genuinely good product and they're working on mod-2s for a mid style!! which is absolutely fantastic
Awesome! I think you'll be very pleased. The only thing that annoys me about them is that the insole slides out when you take them off. Intentionally, as they're supposed to be very easy to clean (they also have drain holes on the sides incase you get them soaked)
I’m a size 10 in sneakers and size 9.5 in most boots (which is normal for boots). My brannock size is 10D. They’re only a littttttllllleeee tight in the front. People with wider feet might have some issues with them.
I recently got a pair and they are a nice sneaker, but all the tactical operator crap on their website is BS. They're just a well made well priced pair of sneakers that's American made, but that's it. I would tell anyone who's looking to order to completely ignore all the BS on their website , just buy them as a good pair of sneakers that's comfortable American made and priced well.
@@NathanKnepper What I mean is that they say things like tactical and military grade material and exoskeleton on their website, it's just a damn low top sneaker not some mind of steel toed combat boot or anything. I read the BS on their website and think to myself what's next, tactical flip flops ?
ehehe yeah. there might be a bit of marketing behind that tho no amount of marketing would get me to buy flip flops. 10/10 would not buy tactical flip flops 😂
I just received mine today. Very poor quality control. Lots of broken stitches and stitches off line ect. They weee also just thrown in the box. Terrible experience. I’m sending them back.
Wow mine showed up wrapped like any other shoe/boot/sneaker. Its been a while though… if you’re still looking for a shoe similar to this check out altama otbs. I got a pair a few weeks ago and love them. Just bought a second for work. Ill be making a video on them at some point
Dont do a review when you wear a shoe for only 1 hour, give it a day atleast. My only critique, otherwise I liked the video. Like wear them on a walk or small hike or commute or w.e.
Thermoplastic polyurethane on the toe. Badass shoe tho! Nice review👍🏽
Thanks!
Would be great if they had a shoe with a white sole

Thanks for the comment. Mine seem to be holding up pretty well but they’re far from the only shoe I wear. I appreciate the input 👍
Wore my woobies shooting and the loop on the heel got caught on a log whenever I stepped over it they’re nice to pull your shoes on but I think I’m gonna cut mine in half so they won’t get caught on anything
What are the minimalist styled boots behind you in the bottom right side of the video? They look great.
Those are Olibertes! A very unique style boot/shoe that were made in Africa. They are the Mojoo in grey suede. Currently Oliberte is only making a few models.

The toe cap is tpu I believe
Thanks for such a comprehensive review - you've earned a sub!!!
You're welcome! Thanks for the sub and Happy Thanksgiving ✌🏼
Love the details bro, nice job.
Thanks man!
Woobies are going to replace my standard chuck Taylor’s.
theyre decent but I need to make an update video. Altamas are better and cheaper unfortunately. They are not made in the USA however
Wish they had mid-high top style because this is literally the only canvas style shoe I can find thats made in USA
Same here! I honestly prefer high tops over low tops almost always.
@@NathanKnepper maybe they’ll make that style someday
@@preston009 your wish has come true
Excellent review 👍
Nice review....Im still on the fence about buying a pair Ive been wearing Vans most my life....
What are some similar shoes to these that I could find at the store to get a feel for them?
Mmm well this is kind of a hard one since they're pretty unique. They're somewhat like vans, converse, adidas classics etc in my opinion. However they're definitely much better quality/comfortable. Check their return policy maybe you can try them and if you're not happy with them you can send them back.
@@NathanKnepper I appreciate the response, I’ll consider getting these now after the video, great review
Thanks! I'm sure you'll like them!
Have you tried the altama otb's? There similar and I wonder how they compare.
I have seen them and at some point I'll probably do a review of them specifically and then a comparison to the woobies
@@NathanKnepper please do.
putting it on my whiteboard!
Yea, but are they manufactured in Texas?
woobies or altamas?
What boots are behind you just under the flag?
Those are first generation Olibertes from when they were made in Ethiopia.
Very concise!! I subscribed!!
Great review! I’m saving some coin for Christmas!
Thanks for watching!!
I have wider feet. Normal converse style shoes are way to narrow. Think these would work for wide feet?
I’m not too sure as I’ve never owned a pair of conversed but they do fit a little better than my vans. I think they could process a return if they don’t fit well but you’ll have to check that.
No man, I just got mine and have wider feet, they are actually pretty uncomfortable and squeeze my foot and my pinky toe scrapes against the side and can feel myslef getting a blister.
Thanks for the reply! I appreciate peeps helping each other out in the comments 👍

Just subbed man! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Appreciate it 👍
What size vans do you wear? Compared to these mod 1.
I wear size 10 in vans and size 10 in these too. Size 9.5 in boots but thats just how the boot world goes.
@@NathanKnepper thanks brother
Nice video. I just picked up a pair.
How long was the break in period?
Not too long. Maybe a day or two? I’m used to breaking in leather boots though so your experience may differ. They did release the mod2 recently which look super cool.
great review.
Always Swap our your Laces to
550 Paracord
I use paracord laces from pisgah range ltd on my work boots. Solid stuff 👍

I'm in Maryland is I know what you mean about the weather.
Awesome! I think you'll be very pleased. The only thing that annoys me about them is that the insole slides out when you take them off. Intentionally, as they're supposed to be very easy to clean (they also have drain holes on the sides incase you get them soaked)
@@NathanKnepper S/O from another southwest PA. I'm a yinzer from Pittsburgh and thinking of getting one
How’s the sizing? Run big or small?
I’m a size 10 in sneakers and size 9.5 in most boots (which is normal for boots). My brannock size is 10D. They’re only a littttttllllleeee tight in the front. People with wider feet might have some issues with them.
I purchased size 10 and they fit well^

Hey can you live jeweler review on Opie way sneakers
Nice review. Compared prices and would rather have another pair of Altama shoes.
Thanks! I hope to get a pair of altamas at some point to review and compare to these. Stay tuned!
@@NathanKnepper please do!
Its on the whiteboard!!
Yeah but Altama sneakers aren't made in the USA, only there boots and dress shoes are.
I just received mine today. Very poor quality control. Lots of broken stitches and stitches off line ect. They weee also just thrown in the box. Terrible experience. I’m sending them back.
Wow mine showed up wrapped like any other shoe/boot/sneaker. Its been a while though… if you’re still looking for a shoe similar to this check out altama otbs. I got a pair a few weeks ago and love them. Just bought a second for work. Ill be making a video on them at some point
Please show the shoe while you review it
Altama for me
Now made in spain!
interesting….
Would be great if they had white soles
My fell apart 2 months, cheap never again
Interesting. Thanks for the comment!
