  • Did Rose Anvil get duped. There is a reason I dislike reviewers getting products for free. In this video I take a deeper dive into a pair of boots I bought and that I have actually worn for over a month.
    The Bearfoot Bruin boot, It is a barefoot boot or a minimalist boot depending on how you look at it. It has a very wide toe box and minimal sole.
    This will compete with other brands like Lems, Vivobarefoot, wildlings, and many more. As well as Keen, Redwing, and the such.

    The suspension trainers I prefer are from Nossk. I have a couple sets of these and they are just better all around and are a great value. You can check them out here.

    I hope you got the clicks you wanted after mentioning Rose Anvil. You think he was duped or sold out because he didn’t mention a smell? You just ensured that I don’t click any more of your videos.

      I love my Vivobarefoot Boots! I have the Tracker Forest Escapes. Vivobarefoot in particular, always changes their stock so with them, if you like it, I mean REALLY like it, you'd better buy three pair because it probably won't be there in a year.

      @FlabDAD  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I do not know what the chemical is. I am guessing it is the out sole tread area that is the cause. However it could be the glue and that would explain why not everyone has noticed the smell.

    I Did hear your daughter. Thank you for doing this review, Im a barefoot guy have been for a long time. Im a farm worker. It's hard finding a good durable barefoot boot and I have run into the discontinued problem many times. I watched the Rose Anvil on these shoes, and was considering buying a pair. I see this as a positive review. Your complaints are minimal and I like the fact that they can be resoled, think I will order a pair. How are the sizes? do they run small or large?

    • @FlabDAD
      @FlabDAD  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The size runs good for me. they are actually the only shoe or boot that is actually wide enough. So they may run a tad big for some but they lace really solid. They have more positives than negatives and the negatives are small. The second pair I got did not have the smell. I think they are worth it for me.

    I know a blacksmith who is a large guy with big, flat feet. He gets the foam anti-fatigue floor mats and cuts his own in-soles out of those, and wears through them in about a week. His reasoning is that the foam mats are a lot cheaper than replacing his work boots as often as he would have to otherwise.

    Love my pair, but buy in your Brannock size no matter what. I bought a pair half a size larger than my Brannock since I was primarily planning to wear thick wool socks with them. Ended up getting horrible blisters at my heel even with the socks. Maybe my ankle is too small or something but I couldn’t tighten down the laces enough to keep my heel from lifting. I ended up buying heel pads and they completely fixed the issue. I’ve now done multiple backpacking trips with them and no problems ever since. I just wish the heel counter was thicker and more contoured to actually hold your foot in place.

    • @stephendohse6462
      @stephendohse6462 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Not completely true, I bought mine in the correct size and the aggressive slope in the toe made it impossible for me to wear without curling my big toe under. I had to go a full size up in order for my toe to be ok. I only wear a thicker merino/alpaca wool sock so that takes up the slop in my ankle/heal area.

    I was a wildland firefighter for 5 years. My first year out I was on loaner boots and made the mistake of getting size 11 danners mistaking regular shoe size for boot size or flash boots when my feet are a size 9ee. While out the boss I was working with recommended Chippewa boots as he'd had the same pair for many years and never had any issues once broken in.
    I've had the same chippewa pair of boots for 11 years. I've replaced the leather laces out of the gate to meet fire regs and have replaced the leather laces a few times since but other than that they're still going strong to this day. They taught me there is a hidden and unspoken beauty about a freshly oiled set of boots and how the leather feels when clean. I've only recently learned of rose anvil, I'm curious about their ND3 boots when they come around but other than that have no other intel on their production line. My thought is I have a really good set of boots that still work today so I wonder if their design would be equal to or more comfortable than what I already have for hiking and general purposes as I no longer fight the devils back country. Terry pratchett's parable on boots is very true, I've torn through boots you find on store shelves without trying those chipps might outlive me. Cheers!

      First I would like to say thank you for your service and doing a job very few are even capable of doing, let alone willing to do. I have looked into having a customer boot built like a JK or White's or some of the others.
      A great leather is definitely worthwhile and worth taking good care of. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your very insightful information! Thank you again, you are appreciated.

      As detailed as he is I wouldn't think so but if he is given a ringer of a product from a company how would he know. I do have a second pair coming. So maybe I received a pair that may have been the end of batch with a bit less care in the process. Like I said in the video it is only a few things and they would be things I wouldn't think Rose Anvil wouldn't mention them if present on his pair.

I would definitely cut the one they give, but I'd cut the one I found for the best price first. Then, use the one they sent me for leverage to show they can make a good quality boot.

    Confusing. At 2:30 , you say you are buying a second pair. These. Boots are not for working construction. Not sure why you are wearing these for work. Mixed signals. Your title indicates not good boots. You are buying a second pair. I don't get your point of the video

    • @FlabDAD
      @FlabDAD  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. I greatly appreciate it. I am sorry the video is confusing. The point is to try and highlight that these boots may not fit work needs. There are limitations. However I am lucky enough that even though I visit many work environments, I am not in a high risk area. I think some workers may benefit greatly like possibly a roofer who is on a constant angle the mobility may be a huge benefit. I just want to help give enough info that someone can make a wise choice. For the money these cost I wouldn't like getting a boot I could use or wear. Thank you again for your comment It will help me make my videos less confusing in the future.
