I'd take a look at Nick's Tanker Pro Classics. They're a lot more expensive but if you look at it as a tool (because is a good boot not a tool to keep you moving and protected), the investment is worth it. They use a lot better material than the Corcoran, up to 8oz leather in some cases. Plus you can choose the arch height and a wide range of sizes and widths. Nick's boots can be resoled as well as rebuilt (replacing the insole down to the outsole).
They do seem pretty impressive..
Seem awesome and fairly priced for how they're made. Sadly, I really can't afford that price. If I ever can, I will totally buy their boots.
Thanks for the reference. That would for sure be the most expensive thing I’ve had on my feet. They look like very good quality, though. I’d have to save for some time to get them. :)
So sad that I tossed my old tanker boots when the soles fell apart.
Had I known that they’d be wiped off the face of the earth… I’d have kept them.
N also… I also don’t care for the suede. I wore BDU’s… So yeah… Black leather please
I use to wear those with vibrant outsoles because my MOS was 19K. Didn’t know I would miss them someday after hating wearing everyday.
Holy shit! It's been a while since you made a video. It's good to see you're still alive!
Lol yea it's been too hot to do anything besides lie in a lake and drink beer.
@@vikingsharia would absolutely make the same choice!👍
Thanks for doing this, I never heard back from them and sent a email 6 months ago!
Just sent an email. My heart is broken. These were the best. I love all Corcoran boots, but the tankers were the best.
If you get an optimistic response, let us know!
@@vikingsharia no response. Might try again. Really want those boots back.
@@sparkyswearsalot Don't take this as an endorsement of this listing, but just saw this on eBay. I believe HH is basically the same as Corcoran, and the pic of the box shows the same model number 5407.. and they have them available in several sizes. If this is legit, it's pretty rare. www.ebay.com/itm/225064741214?hash=item3466e7695e:g:gC8AAOSw2lNixzfP
As a former tanker and now mailman I wear these boots to work when it rains or snows Fuck now I gatta buy regular boots
I've got a pair of Corcoran Tanker boots still in the box i bought a few years ago i havent worn yet ,,,, if their discontinued i guess i like them even more now lol
I hear you, the same as with British-Made Doc Martens, US-Made Converse and Sears-Made Die Hard boots.. all the good stuff goes away and is replaced with Chinese garbage. That's why I buy several pairs at once and stock up before its too late.
That's very wise stocking up.. I really wish I had done that.
@@vikingsharia I'm pretty sure you already checked eBay or Poshmark, but just pointing that out, I found much on there. Best of luck!
@@xuv224 Yea only tiny sizes are left.
The xcs25225 steel toe field boots are gone too, what a bummer.
I wonder if the tan boots could be dyed black.
I've read about other types of tan boots being dyed black so it's probably possible. They wouldn't have the same slick finish as the real black ones, but they'd probably look a hell of a lot better. I wouldn't experiment with it unless I could find a really cheap pair of used ones though.
I am even more bummed after watching your tanker boot vid. My cherished tanker boots were accidentally donated to the goodwill. I was willing to bite the bullet and pony up a small fortune to buy another (3rd) pair, but they are DISCONTINUED!!! Coyote color tankers look ASS!
I will email them and ask to bring back. Or, negotiate a trade. discontinue the coyote suede and resume manufacturing the classic black leather tanker. Thx for vid.
Yeah those coyote ones just aren't the same. Don't give up on checking places like eBay.. it took a while but I eventually found a pair on there that was close to my size.
Finally a review from a metal head I needed to see a review of these I was interested in some since my guitar player mick from slipknot wears them
Your guitarist is Mick from Slipknot?
@@fujifilm5127 yeah Thats him
What band are you in?
@@stella-vu8vh lunatics
@@stella-vu8vh hobo wine is our song
Goddamn 995 zipper jump boots are gone too. I guess we gotta wear boots that look like speedboats now.
This world gets gayer by the day.
I had these, the insulated kevlar ones and the german ones. I regret not ever taking care of them or to keep a pair of each. I got out of the Army and lost a lot of my old gear to a shitbag of an EX that threw all my shit away. I loved being on my M1A1...
In regard to the tank, that's badass. In regard to the ex, women's rights were a mistake.
I just ordered some of the jump boots today. I'm excited to see how they last.
Sucks the tanker boot is discontinued.
It looks like the Carolina boot company is making the same pattern of tanker boots in coyote rough out brown (can’t find a black version). The descriptions and photos look like a near exact duplicate of the double H and Corcoran tanker boots. Around $255 retail as of 11/2022. Hope that helps anyone looking for a pair other than the much more expensive Nick’s handmade versions.
They got rid of the marauders and the field boots 😥
😖
Yep, I can't find my steel toe field boots from Corcoran anywhere. I've been wearing them for the last 13 years wtf.
Oh noooo! I own a pair and was about to order a second pair and just found this out through you! Arrggh!!!!!
I think sooner or later somebody's gonna start making this boot again..
Oh no! I still have my two pair from Ft.Knox... guess i'll have to get mine re-soled :(
eBay is worth checking out. It took about a year but I eventually found a new in box pair in my size so apparently there are still a few sitting around in warehouses.
I'm also thinking about taking my old combat boots in to get new soles
The only combat boots I've owned were Vietnam era combat boots. As of now I only by hunting boots from my local sporting goods store. They're light weight, water proof and keep my feet warm in the cold ND winters
Let us know if it ends up being worth the money. I've seen prices quoted from 35-40 up to over 100 and I don't think I could go for the latter.
@@jaketungseth7600 lightweight boots are good.. I've grown tired of trying to run and kick in heavy, clunky ones.
@@vikingsharia I use my boots for hunting and for my job in construction. I do admit I pay a little more for my boots, but it's because I almost wear them a good portion of the year.
I've switched over to Danner Boot in the Summer and Georgia Boot in the Winter.
Any specific models that you recommend?
I earned mine.
Ive heard that tanker style boots don't have great ankle support and don't make good hiking boots because of it. Is that actually true, or Is the ankle support plenty adequate for a good hiking boot?
For hiking on uneven ground, they don't feel as supportive as some lace-up options. But I used to wear them walking around on flat ground for 8 hours a day and they were just fine.
They’re quite literally boots for tankers. Boots with laces require the motion and impact of the legs to encourage good flow of blood and lymph through the body, but in a tank, your feet lose circulation. The design of these boots presume you’ll be stationary for long periods of time ie jammed into the guts of a steel beast.
(The leather also doesn’t scorch off like boot laces if/when the aft caps from the main gun rounds land on your feet.)
For hiking, absolutely not. For car trips to wherever, they’re fantastic; if you get stuck and have to hop out, you’ve got boots that can take a beating.
TANKER BOOT
HH Brand FTW
Wanna preserve a boot for a century and dont mind the smell of smoke? Pine tar is my best friend. When i decide i really love a boot i apply rigorous amounts of 50/50 mink oil and pine tar and follow it up by a beeswax rub. Eveb if the leather gets soaked and nasty it will keep bacteria from growing and it will keep leather straps tough and abrasion resistant.
Pine tar is magical stuff, just make sure you make your own because alot of the market stuff has unnecessary crap that makes your boots too soft and when boots are too lubricated they no longer function as intended.
Is pine tar better than pine pitch? I read about a product that's a blend of pine pitch and mink oil.
So cruel and crazy they discontinued tanker boot sadly.
I bet a lot of people email them i did too i told them my dad have 40 pairs of them they still did not listen at all manufacturers like them think in their head ohh we already made our billions of dollars off Corcoran black tanker boots for years they don't care for their loyal customers honestly at this point customers like my father collect their boots for years need a refund at this point lol
I have a big question for you viking sharia when will you do Rocky Side Zipper Jump Boots reviews in the future and do you wear leather jackets like biker jackets i will love to see reviews on them and cowboy boots for affordable prices because on youtube reviews sadly you see very very expensive cowboy boots brands and biker leather jacket people who make reviews need to keep in mind that their subscribers and viewers or people in general don't have a lot of money to spend on one pair of boots especially prices went up badly
I think all TH-camrs should make reviews for affordable and cheap prices nowadays only!👍👍👍
Sooner or later, somebody's gonna make affordable black tankers again. Maybe one of the military reenactor companies? So after wearing the Rockys for 2 years / 3 seasons, I would say that the soles have worn down slower than the Corcorans. The side zippers and snaps have held up, and I only re-tie the laces a couple times a year. And their wide width fits me really well. I don't really have anything negative to say about them other than they don't look quite as cool as tankers. And I don't have a whole lot of experience with leather biker jackets.
@vikingsharia yeah hopefully soonest possible because I spoke with a lot of people recently they all told me that they are disappointed that they discontinued them unfortunately . so we not the only ones disappointed it millions of people out there are probably sad. And is tankers black boots is affordable prices for them and I agree with you hopefully they can make them affordable again. Because the prices went up badly for everything food clothing cars you name it
WTF wish I’d kept my old ones. Gonna get my now vintage tankers resoled but will also have to look for an alternative to the best boot I’ve ever worn and been wearing for over a decade. Thanks for posting this vid, you ever settle on an alternative?
The zippered Rockys have worked out as far as getting them on and off quickly and the soles holding up. But I think sooner or later one of these companies that sells military reproductions for reenactors will step up and make some affordable tankers.
check out the boots ATF sells, goodyear soles
If necessary you can do much more with 2 long shoelaces than with a 2 straps of leather, just my thought
Good point
There's a brand called Vintos advertising tankers online. Prices seem to be in the same ballpark as Corcoran. Any idea if those are good?
Idk firsthand but the customer reviews seem to be good.. I might give em a try someday.
@@vikingsharia Cool, thanks man. Please do a review if you try em out.
I recently got a pair of those Vintos so far they feel great, you can customize them as much as you want, the store pictures shows them with a brown midsole and gold buckles but I asked about it and was able to get mine made fully in black, midsole, buckles, and all. Just be ready to wait a while for them since each pair is hand made to order.
@@gregthepeglegpregdreg Nice. Enjoy your new boots. Thanks for letting me know it's a good company to buy from.
You can try nicks tanker boots they cost more alot better made
I found nicks german tanker boot for $650 canadian.. looks good but that is kinda pricey, even in canadian.
@@vikingsharia true but I think nicks resoles/rebuilds them. From my understanding their boots were originally for loggers and wildland firefighters so they're usually durable as fuck and can take years of abuse.
Dehener makes a good boot
I've seen people online saying they've had pairs that lasted 20 years.. that's beyond impressive.
@@vikingsharia oh yeah, I have a pair that were passed down to me by my grandpa, he had them for a long ass time. And now I’m still wearing them
@@wyatthicks-johnson2449 that's awesome!
This is terrible!
