A little history and back story on HP boots. They are a sister company of Anderson Bean. They were started to compete with all the companies that were essentially knocking off the styling AB is known for but at a cheaper price point. HP is made in Mexico but by a factory owned by AB so they have total control. Unlike many boot companies that use factories in Leon Mexico to make their boots for them and put their name on them. HP brings the AB styling and quality at a cheaper price point to their AB and Rios brands. HP essentially was created to help combat the other companies beating AB with their unique styling but at cheaper price points. AB started or renewed a lot of the trends you see today from the double welts, vibrant contrasting colors, etc.
Some of the best parts of your videos are seeing boots from all aspects, A full honest review, saying how it is. And seeing a variety that I don't get to see often
My son has a pair of HP smooth ostrich in a similar color scheme. They are nice boots. I have a pair of Havana Bullfrog. We love HP boots. I would love to see them in an R toe.
I tried some on today of the same boot but black top and they were fantastic!!! They fit so well and were very well made. I might go back tomorrow and get them cause they’re still on my mind. Thanks for the review, makes me feel like the decision is right
Very interesting color combination. I would like to see them with a little narrower square toe and only a single stitched welt. I like the hybrid sole as well. Going to all those western stores would be a dream trip.
Dude!!! I live in Pocatello, I buy jeans from Vickers all the time. Super cool to see you in my hometown. Love the vids hope you enjoyed our selection.
Hybrid sole is such a good value for a longer lasting sole! Plus they would come in handy during soggy scotland days (even though you may not want to wear ostrich those days haha)
Very nice boots indeed, I was planning on buying them but I saw the shaft and it looks a little wider than normal and I normally like the shaft to be narrow.
Interesting enough I just got a pair of Anderson Bean (makers of Horsepower boots) mine are smooth ostrich with emerald green tops and from their made in USA line! I love them! They just say quality from the first look! I agree with everything you said about the Horsepower boot as it applies to my boots! I own Tecovas, Lucchese, Tony Lama, Justin, all various exotics, and these Anderson Beans are built as well or better and feel great! More people need to look at Anderson Bean and Horsepower as an option! Value and quality for the money is phenomenal! Glad to see your review! Oh and did I mention how comfortable they are right out of the box!
Hey!!!! Glad to see you finally get the Anderson Bean taste. Trust me, the value with that brand is incredible. Their horsepower line is definitely on the economic side. Its enough premium material that you get your moneys worth, plus you’re buying real boots. I always recommend giving a good hard look at the actual Anderson Bean brand though. The quality and craftsmanship is almost unmatched. And dont even get me started on Rios Mercedes...
@@fil.guijarro yessir. In my opinion, they are one of the last true “bootmakers” out there. You know about them if you’re looking for that truly handcrafted product made in texas. Ive heard that HPs are more of your beaters for every day work and daily use. But regular AB is incredible. Would rather buy them than just about any brand except Lucchesse or Tecovas. But given the fact that they are a smaller and more traditional brand i think id still pick them...
@@JeremiahCraig It just warms my heart to see so many talking about this very small brand. As a texan i take great pride in supporting texas brands, especially with boots. And this one reigns supreme in my book. So thank you sir.
I just got my hands on a pair of black Horsepower Top Hands in Caiman with a purple goat shank. It’s so hard to find Rios in 14D so I settled on the Top Hands I hope I’m not disappointed
I like these Horsepower boots , after scrolling through 17 pages of boots these Horsepower boots really jump out and grab your attention ! Full quill osterige(sp) is nice !
Just got a pair of horsepower. Don't know anything about boots, haven't worn them since I was young on a small farm I grew up on. Mine only have leather on the inside. Trying to get use to them being slightly loose but everyone says they form. Wish I would have found these videos earlier but everything I've seen seems like I made a solid choice.
I'm new and just bought my first 3 pairs. I'm still trying out. I got 2 double H, one is the darker reddish bison, the other is the lighter tan with white stitching and the 3rd is a Tony lama smooth ostrich lighter but is a little rough leather. Lol so I'm not sure how that is considered smooth ostrich. The Tony lama feel great right out of the gate, lighter if course. All American made. I'd love HP but to stay with US based boots price goes up alot.
Thats a fantastic looking boot! I agree that the hybrid sole is awesome not just for the wear it can take but for traction as well. It gives more options for use outdoors than all leather in my opinion. One thing...would you have sized down when wearing without the insole? It looked like the right boot had enough room to go down 1/2 size. I understand you are different than most of us for sizing but for the typical buyer would you suggest going down?
@@JeremiahCraig put in an order yesterday for a pair of Bullhide! The prices are really good, for such good quality boots. I would expect to pay twice as much. And the ostrich boots are breaking in nicely
Heg jerimiah!! Can you do a review on a boot called justin stampede driller boots? Im thinking of getting them but i want a honest review and i know your the person who can do that!!
They're hybrid because they're owned by Andersen Bean. Andersen Bean has a few lines of hybrids. The difference between AB and horsepower is that the HP are made in Mexico
Yep! ABs aren't the only brand to have hybrid soles though. The insoles in the HPs are a bit different too and the exotics have a stacked leather heel, ABs are a bit more traditional inside with a hard leather insole under their removable insole and they have a bonded leather heel.
@@JeremiahCraig Trust me though, that little strip of rubber at the front makes a big difference on carpet and in wet conditions. Plus stairs are a breeze
A regular cowhide boot with a hybrid outsole would be perfect. I remember wearing my leather sole boots in school and college and I had to get them resoled often because walking on asphalt and cement sidewalks wears down a leather sole fast. If I were to do it again I would try to have a hybrid outsole. Horse power has some budget cowhide options and Justin has an inexpensive option with their George Straight black boot with a hybrid outsole
Thanks! I'm so glad you're enjoying the content. I actually already did an Everlite video earlier this year. Here's the link! th-cam.com/video/mr2o34EiQzg/w-d-xo.html
You cannot get a quality boot for less than $100. If a boot is regularly priced for less than $100 it means they don't use the high quality materials necessary for a true cowboy boot and they definitely aren't hand made. Maybe hand crafted but that's completely different. Hand made means that nearly every step is done by a person using their hands and that costs money. So they are lying. If you're looking for good boots under $100, I made a video to help! - th-cam.com/video/EgcLVVZzers/w-d-xo.html
Hey man Question I have talked to you a time or two about sizes You and I both. Seem to run a 12 B Stinking foot is too narrow with that 12 shoe size It can be aggravating I went with the Luchesse Burke Giant gator boots in A 11 D to make up for width, in those They seem to be fine Still not broke in yet on left foot but fine I noticed these you tried on are a 10.5 D Do you normally go down that small on the wide square toe boots like that I have a few pair of Anderson beans Full quills in a 11.5 D Always thought they were ok in size a bit looser now after wearing a year or so but ok And I’m starting to think I went to large in those too if you are doing a 10.5 in those or 11 D I never tried on a 11 D in that style or a 10.5 D Either If the people in the store wools have been knowledgable enough to say Oh…. You have a skinny foot but wear a 12 shoe Then you should do a 11 D or maybe even a 10.5 D I wouldn’t have 1000$ worth of boots that are a little to wide right now .. Kinda of tired of not knowing for sure, glad I found you on here having a size close to me or similar that knows I’m starting to think length doesn’t mean much at all when your trying to get close to that B or C width Any insight to share on this greatly appreciated The boot stores have no clue most don’t Just sell boots It’s sad .
Width is more important for sure but it would be nice for companies and stores to put more B widths out there. I will often have to go to a 10.5 D in a wide square toe because 11D is too wide with all the space in the toe box. That's part of the reason wide square toe is offered by so many brands is because it's easier to fit people and make less widths.
@@JeremiahCraig Yeah that’s what I thought with the wide toe it will give more room . I guess I will have to try a 10.5 or 11 in the square toe Which brand do you find to run the most narrow ? Do you find a 11 works in some vs a 10.5
Its actually perfect. Ive got a pair of ABs that have this exact hybrid sole and its awesome for grip. But it maintains that true leather sole feel and durability. Plus once they wear out you can swap them with a regular leather sole if you want.
It sounds like you’re keeping your voice lower not to disturb customers or something, but you really should project like you normally do, it’ll make it more interesting!
" Yeah good video ! Hello Jeremiah,i think than Hondo boots are just beautiful to design,nothing say,really ! Can we put of soles non-slip under the boots cause not very beautiful,it's not western boots just a day with non-slip ... " :-(

Me too. The color is spectacular and the leather feels great!
These are some awesome looking boots, they make me really want ostrich boots.

Those are boots that I would definitely rock! I am liking the idea of the hybrid sole.

The smell of new boots smells really good
Nice looking boot & I'm not usually a square toe boot guy, but I like the tapering of the toe. 👍
Damn….those should be the official boot of all Houston Oiler fans. Looks like Columbia blue to me!
Great video! I've been wanting to try out a pair of these for a while
Thanks buddy!
One of the nicest boots we saw!

Nice boots ❤ .. what jeans are you wearing ???
Wat size would u recommend I have wide feet and usaly wear an 11 ee but I hear full quill stretch
I might just have to run up to Beth West in Snohomish and see if they have these to try out, that's a fantastic price point for what I'm seeing here
I agree! If you make your way up there tell them I say hi!
Are they good quality? I just ordered a pair today, I hope they fit me good, my last boots were hurting my feet so bad.
You Should've bought em they look really good

How do you pick the right size for the horse power boots ?
I just picked my regular go-to size I would for any other brand. They seemed true to size for me
@@JeremiahCraig thanks for the help
Did u size down on the wide square toe?
You should review boots from shop rockem there supposedly hand made and good quality boots but I am not sure
Because there are a low price tag but I’m not fully convinced on there quality

@@JeremiahCraig hey man i was looking at there exotics my question is if you think there quality will be hiring on the exotics love the vids btw
I'm personally not a fan of ostrich but I would totally wear these.
Hey man
Question
I have talked to you a time or two about sizes
You and I both. Seem to run a 12 B
Stinking foot is too narrow with that 12 shoe size
It can be aggravating
I went with the Luchesse Burke Giant gator boots in A 11 D to make up for width, in those They seem to be fine
Still not broke in yet on left foot but fine
I noticed these you tried on are a 10.5 D
Do you normally go down that small on the wide square toe boots like that
I have a few pair of Anderson beans Full quills in a 11.5 D
Always thought they were ok in size a bit looser now after wearing a year or so but ok
And I’m starting to think I went to large in those too if you are doing a 10.5 in those or 11 D
I never tried on a 11 D in that style or a 10.5 D
Either
If the people in the store wools have been knowledgable enough to say Oh…. You have a skinny foot but wear a 12 shoe
Then you should do a 11 D or maybe even a 10.5 D
I wouldn’t have 1000$ worth of boots that are a little to wide right now ..

Can you let me know
If you can
I’m going tomorrow to see if I can swap a pair for 11 D In Luchesse
Thanks
These look great, not a fan of that sole though, to me the front rubber part looks like an afterthought.
