I know about 4 Chinese dialects and that paper is really just a handwritten note of order with quantity of different sizes and different parts of those shoes to be produced. It probably was a task list for a factory shift supervisor at one point. Definitely not a cry for help, but did also serve as a counter too, so very much recycled. 😂
It’s a tally sheet in Chinese. The worker at the factory probably written it down on the production factory for his notes. Doesn’t look like those notes from the workers in the prison that left in the items. Probably just a note written to keep the tally working at the factory
So so I am relatively new to your channel. I never thought I would be watching somebody cutting shoes and boots in half and now my wife thinks I’m crazy for doing so lol. But I just wanted to say thank you for educating me on shoe construction. This has helped me make better decisions when purchasing shoes and boots. I just recently bought a pair of Red Wings 1907. Fantastic boot and I am breaking them in slowly. Finally I’m curious have any of the shoe manufacturers complained about their shoes and choices of materials being exposed for all of us to see?
From what he's said in previous videos, they have and they have tried to pressure him to stop. But it's not like it's Illegal in any way to take apart a pair of shoes that you own and show it for all to see. Through this though, other companies reach out to him that do have a good product and that's how we collectively find good brands and products. I've bought myself a couple of Goral Shoes, Rock Roosters, and just bought myself my first pair of Whites boots with the blood core.
I work in a retail store and we sell twisted x. They seem to do well enough when compared to their competitors. They really do an excellent job with comfort. Also I've met Mr. Reddy and he comes across as a pretty nice guy.
Twisted x are you listening? Add the option for a steel shank. It will add like what 1-2 bucks to produce? Also add a little thicker leather! You could be the king of work boots if you could partner with gore-Tex and make the boot officially water proof. After this video dropped tonight, the spotlight is on you! We’re watching. If you dropped a bombshell and made immediate improvements,it would be worth it. Shit, have the CEO come on the podcast, and discuss the new “premier” version of this show. Step up the game here guys. With the new type of tech you have already developed, I’m drooling, but can’t pull the trigger yet.
I bought a pair of Twisted X boots on clearance a few years ago. Once I switched out the insole they became incredibly comfortable and I've relegated them to motorcycle boots.
Red Wing is closing the doors on its iconic Vasque brand, which they started in 1964. While some of the Vasque styles may be moved over to Irish Setter, the rest will be permanently retired. This could include the Sundowner, which is my favorite hiker (as long as I've replaced the insoles with some Powerstep insoles). A pair of Vasque Sundowners can easily cover more than 1,000 miles and keep going (I know from experience).
Carbon nanotubes are really cool and way different from regular carbon fiber, similar to the strength difference between rod stock and tube stock. Super interesting to see them used in a safety toe.
Highly doubt they’re actual carbon nanotubes due to the price differential making them entirely unfeasible for a boot at this price point. Not to mention there’s no reason to use nanotubes instead of fibres at this scale. The polymer matrix provides more than enough strength for a boot. Carbon fibres are a few thousand nanometers in diameter, so probably a case of the legal team saying “we’re technically right, can’t sue us. Print it.”
@@vladislavboulavine5139 I was thinking the same thing, I was a bit surprised to see the carbon fiber weave, wouldn't put it passed them to just use plastic the fibers in it.
thanks so much for these comparisons & letting us decide where to go from there. 15:30 that explanation is what it's all about. your detailed analysis is so valuable & so appreciated. followed your advice on some snow boots for my son a few years ago & been a fan ever since. rest assured i suggest your channel to anyone i encounter that is looking to buy quality footwear. clomps 4eva!! 😻😻😻😻😻 5/5
I know it may be a bit much but can u make a playlist of all the moctoe boots. So I don’t have to scroll through all the videos to find them. Love what ur doing it’s awesome that someone has a true breakdown so we know what we are buying

I might consider those if I was standing on concrete all day in a warehouse picking parts off a shelf to load on trucks or something like that. A lot of those jobs require safety toes. I drive a concrete mixer truck and I am standing in water and mud all day long. They wouldn’t last two months at my job. My job is really hard on boots and over the years I’ve had a lot of trial and error at buying boots. I only wear Thorogood moc toes in the warmer months and Red Wing loggers in the winter
U r great! U do us all shoe enthusiasts a favor and u hold all the manufacturers responsible ! From cheap to more expensive (e.g. RM WILLIAMS) Thank u again !
Could you do a review of the new Thursday challenger? I’ve been looking into them because they have no foam or anything like that. I’d be interested to hear your opinion. Thanks for exposing the boot industry!
Interesting, I own the steel toe moccasin that they sell and it lasted me 6 months. Now that is walking miles every day at the job site, ladders, rocks etc. The leather, sole and blend 85 insole held up surprisingly well. Not so much for everything else. Had to replace the shoe laces a couple of times, and all the internals are falling apart. For 140ish they are okay if you rarely go in the field, but I think I’m going to do the custom boot thing with Jim Green bc my JG ST razorback is going like a champ!
Love the zoom in on the bad center cut. ive looked at the zerox zero glue shoes a few times. They look like theyd be a great breathable summer shoe but ive always pivoted towards something more durable. Bought some keen flint 2s last time and looking at Barefoot AR this time. These boots look decent enough but a little overpriced. Will you be cutting the Diehard Malibu or the Rockrooster Mantua this moctober?
Hey, if you’re looking for some interesting things to cut in half, motocross boots like Garne SG22 are Italian leather stitch down boots with a bunch of motorcycle crazy space age safety stuff on them for the price of a good handmade leather work boot. I’m sure it’d be super interesting to see inside.
You’re paying $200 for a “work” boot that is expected to be made of quality goods. Plastic is not seen as a quality good, despite how far it has advanced in terms of strength
Even if it's strong now I wouldn't be confident in it being strong after 2 years of being exposed to dirt, water, hot/cold temperatures, etc. Not like these boots would last that long anyways, though.
@@Andoxico I’ve been wearing Twisted X work boots for a few years now. They’re comfortable out of the box, but a year is about all I get out of them. I’m in the office as much as I’m out in the field. They’ve gotten high priced enough now I’m looking for something better.
I will say that in the auto plant that I work in, metal eyelets and other pieces are not permitted for wear in the assembly department. So I would guess that may be why they use the plastic eyelet? Just a guess though
That note [收單]=order received [9.鞋頭內外與領口??307]=9.Inside and outside the toe cap & shoe collar ?? 307 [??上.下反?:307]=??up and down conversely? It's seems just like a note about shoes making process, and prove they really do recycle...XD
I rank these as number 1 on this list yes I do prefer comfort over everything else you said in this video. I don't need a shank nor care if my boot has them, I don't do ANY work that ever needs one, so for me who cares!?, I want comfy Moc toes water proof is a bonus, its rainy here in WA. Plus warm insides are also not frowned upon for me but comfy Moc toe is what I want more than anything else.
Are we going to see a Jim Green Moc on the channel this month? I am really hoping that your relationship with the company will lead to a spotlight on their new release!
I hate hooks on shoes, I'm not too serious about super high quality sneakers/hiking boots as I tend to trash through them quickly (I wear AFO's in my shoes which savage any shoe they touch), but even metal hooks I've found can just randomly snap off from frequent tightening. Was shocked to notice some metal hooks on one pair I was wearing just popped clean off without notice and got lost somewhere.
We have had a few guys try different twisted X boots and they always fall apart due to the cement construction. Never understood why they pay that amount when you can get decent boots that won’t fall apart for the same price
I’m curious how the Keen Cincinnati 6” Moc Toe Wedge compares to these mid-tier work boots? I’m looking for a lightweight safety boot due to arthritis from an injury while in the Navy. I still support ships as a civilian and need a lightweight safety boot that doesn’t flare up the ole’ arthritic ankle. The Keen Cincinnati is on my short list. Looking for suggestions. Thank you.

You should cut up a pair of diehards. Sears is gone, but you can still get the boots. They are cheap and hold up to hard work. It’s a deal for a real work boot. It’s what I wear if I really have to work, know I need foot protection and am going to thrash the boots. I’ve worn out tons of Timberland boots over the years, but never actually wore out a pair of diehards. Just give them to goodwill when they get ugly. The sole seems to last forever. Just replace the insole and laces every once in a while. Only thing I wish is that they were made in the USA.
I've had cemented work boots that lasted years, but they had a cupsole like a sneaker. This style with with smaller glue surface and the convenient faux-welt to snag on things is probably a bad idea. The were also much cheaper. These may be ok in a warehouse or workshop setting that's mostly standing on even concrete.
I think the laces were a great move! Very smart thing to get involved with.. there's definitely a need.. and if you did more kilties in unique leathers, that would be another solid angle..id get in on one of your boot collabs but I'm too picky now hah.. unless you did a White's engineer with high arch and Shinki whiskey cordovan
Weston, I am from Oklahoma and will say that TwistedX became so popular as a work boot that the boot shops had to start carrying them. Now, the boots I am talking about are the square toe cowboy looking work boots. Every single guy I have talked to about TwistedX says they will never buy another boot because of the comfort. So down here, TwistedX is king of cowboy work boots. And some of the guys I talked to were linemen so they have no problem climbing ladders or poles with bolts in them.
Really? I haven't had any of that experience, as an Oklahoman. The ariats seem most common for "modern" cowboy boots, and workbooks are pretty varied. Rockies and especially Georgia's seem quite common.
@@sinisterthoughts2896 It was about 8-12 years ago that I was talking to the guys, however, I was making fun of the fact they wore square toes. I live in the Ada area and most of them were electricians, road workers, and city workers. I was surprised at how many were wearing them. Then I noticed they started taking up a lot of room on the retail isles in boot stores. Could just be in my area, and it may have changed since 2016.
I love the fact that the company is environmentally friendly. They have their boots shipped over seas on huge boats. Way more friendly to the environment. This is why people shouldn't be alowed to own vehicles. Driving to work and home is unsustainable. If we keep doing that the skies will be to dirty and Taylor swift wont be able to fly her plane to the football game.
Timberland 3 Eye Classic Lug next, please! Technically not even close to a work boot, but it's very popular right now and I wanna know how they compare to most expensive options like Russell's and Paraboot boat moccasins.
you get what you pay for. i love my PNW, but i also wear Blundstones for work. my steeltoead Blundee is 8 years old (about to be replaced), my square toed blundee is still kickking (no steel toe, sole replaced, 12 years old, looks like new when i polish it)
They don’t waste any material in their production, including a handwritten note sewn into the heel counter. 😮 They stand by their recycle and sustainability pledge.

I work in a retail store and we sell twisted x. They seem to do well enough when compared to their competitors. They really do an excellent job with comfort. Also I've met Mr. Reddy and he comes across as a pretty nice guy.

Anytime a brand advertises something like "we plant a tree for each shoe purchased!" I immediately question the quality of the product.

A boot with blue balls... Someone needs to relieve that boots

I don’t think you ever talked about that extra leather inside toe vamp of 875 Red Wing? It’s heavy duty !
Wonder how effective the safety toe is. In the end, it ain't a work boot.
when you doing the keen Cincinnati ???
Do the boot laces rip easily? I’ve had leather boot laces before and they ripped as I was tightening them.
