Hello, do you take orders to make custom boots? 1,300 initial order.
Red Wing is just so much more approachable. Seeing the quality they have, and knowing I can find a store front in most cities in the US, it's easy. Go into one of their many locations, and you can't mess up your boot size.
I'm always surprised by the praise for Redwings. I went to two stores (one didn't have my size) to get sized and ended up with some heritage boots that were just miserable. Stuck with trying to break them in for over a year but had to finally admit defeat.
Most uncomfortable footwear I've ever had, and I am including rock climbing shoes.
Took me 4 months before my Iron Rangers stopped feeling like a torture device. Now they're fine, if 1/2 size too big.
You have to wear them and suffer for a while. One year, a month, ... Depends how much you actually wear them.
@@0bzen22yeah I’ve wore mine all week at work and it’s not the worst break in I’ve experienced for a boot lol but I’ve been skating for a long time, so foot pain is kinda within the territory I guess. I don’t understand how someone could wear them a year and say they haven’t broken in unless they wore them out a few times every other week maybe
Great video Weston! Thanks for highlighting us!
it would be nice to see a video on specifically your favorite heavy duty work boots, including the newly cut jk boot superduty, thank for always making great content!
Video Suggestion - I think a top 5 comparison of Hot Weather boots would be amazing. As a dedicated boot wearer, but also a hot running person I'm always looking for solid, supportive boots that allow for the best cooling for summer. Maybe have a set of jungle boots as the standard
Bump.
As a glutton for punishment, living in swampy/sweaty, & humid GA summers, I would enjoy some hot weather reviews/options
Desert rat here, pls do this before I start wearing sketchers this summer
seconding!
bump
A summer boot is just a boot without water resistance.
As a boot afficionado from the UK I'm pretty jealous of the variety of traditional heavy duty boots you have in the US. Importing US boots to the UK is incredibly expensive - we have to pay shipping, duty and VAT - so you can pretty much add around $200 to the price of a pair of top end boots like Nicks or Whites. We do have one traditional bootmaker, William Lennon and co, over here who still hand build traditional work boots. It would be really interesting for those of us who don;t have access to US boots to see you do a review on a pair of their boots. Maybe a comparison to a similar US boot?
Agreed. We just don't get the same range in work boots here. Thankfully I've managed to get Thursdays and Allen Edmond's Higgins Mill boots without having to pay any duty or vat. Would love a pair of Nicks, Whytes or similar but the additional costs are prohibitive.
Are you serious mate? I live near Northampton where some of the world's best boots are made. Tricker's and C&J for one, makes impeccable English boots. My indestructible Tricker's Stow will be my default boots in an apocalypse.
@@MaxxSeemov they're not work boots, nice as they are, unless of course you work on a nice country estate or something. I'm talking about proper bombproof work boots. I'm a timber frame carpenter, high ankle support and a steel toecap are a must.
@@fishbiscuit2000 do you still have to pay the import taxes if myself or a fellow American were to ship them to you?? As in we purchase it then "gift" them. I think every true tradesman should have the opportunity to wear a pair of RedWings, Nick's, Thorogoods, or Whites at least once in their life, without such a ridiculous import markup. I myself am somewhat of a work boot addict. Tuff Toe applications have changed the game on the durability aspect in my humble opinion. Without it I'd chew through nice 300-600 work boots in a few months. My work environment is as hostile as they come.
Sucks having a govt that taxes the crap out of everything... :(
JK boots will always be my #1 boot of choice. John Khadzi chased the American dream and greatly succeeded. As long as I live, I will support his family and their upstanding character for my footwear.
Been waiting on the Truman boot
I own 3 pairs of Truman Boots. Absolutely love them. Wonderful design and comfort.
That would be fantastic I am thinking they will be the next purchase
Great Review and MITUSA Lineup, Big THANK YOU!
I really enjoyed this series. One recommendation for a future video is in the redwing 877 from the perspective of an outdoor/hunting boot as it was intended. I’m currently breaking mine in and they are a beast, but I love them. I will be adding speed hooks though.
Excellent video, thank you for doing such a great job. Also, really dug the sponsor "shout out / commercial". I am going to get one of those pens!
Sponsor bit made me smile. Appreciate all the work and videos! Night time binge
now were rollin'! keep the real boot content coming - what brought me to rose anvil 🤘
Interesting to see your list. Great series of boots included with a lot I am considering.
I just loved that Tactile Turn bit.
If possible, I would like to see you add Allen Edmonds Higgins Mill and Chapman to the lineup. They're made in the USA, Goodyear welted and often cost under $400. Both can come with Horween Chromexcel. Thank you
I agree, I love my Higgins Mill, they do retail for over $400.00, but that is there sucker price. I paid $ 320.00 for mine
@@60zeller good point if you have patience you can get most AE boots for low 300 or even less at the end of the season.
Ebay is insane for boots. I got some Higgins Mills in shell for $200
Love to see how Chippewa Arador’s stack up. The insulated steel toes are an extremely popular boot in New England. They are American made and under $400
I’ve had thorogoods for a few years now, had them resoled once already and they are holding up great. Very comfortable and good value product.
The Corcoran boot is used for US Army airborne units as a dress footwear, not just for reenactments.
I bought a pair of JK Forefront boots earlier this year. They are the highest quality boot that I have ever owned! I believe that they were under $500. I was skeptical about spending that kind of money, but I will never go back to store bought boots again! You truly get what you pay for. In my opinion even at $500, they exceeded my expectations.
Yes, the LLBean Cascade hiking boots are still made in Austria or Romania IIRC. There are different sources for the other boots. These have a steel shank, removeable insole liners, optional GoreTex version, Vibram soles. I'd like to see how they compare.
I’m tempted toward the origin boot you show here…even have one on my cart on their website. Two things about them make me hesitant: 1.every review I’ve seen of them have a wrinkle or crease in the leather that make the quality look sloppy or possibly having a weak area, 2. I’ve heard complaints about month long waits to have them delivered.
One unique thing about red wing over most of the under $400 models you’ve showcased here, is red wings always look very high quality control right out of the box, almost flawless.
Great video once again.
Redwing 1907 i wore out the sole in 3mo. Im 6ft 300lb auto mechanic. The throgood im going on 2yrs and im sure ill get 3yrs out of the sythetic sole. My expirence and the thorogoods have to be the most comfortable for my 8-14hr days.
I can’t deny it. I absolutely LOVE my 1907’s and there are some great deals out there if you look.
Carolina 809's are my go to work boot. they are like clouds from day one and last a solid two years for around $250. American/union made.
Been really enjoying my Thursday Loggers. Been wearing them now for a few weeks and they just get more comfortable each day. I stand on my feet for about 8 hours at work and they have given me good support as well as lots of compliments. I love my Redback boots too as far as comfort goes, but they NEVER got any compliments lol. Redback boots aren't exactly stylish but are certainly like walking on clouds all day long.
I Work in the snow rain, and on Ice. My work georgia boot Chelsea's are the best thing I have ever worn in snow. Would have never found them without your videos.
Need to get Oak Street Boots on the channel!
I own a couple of pairs and they seem fairly well made. I second this! I'd like to see how they hold up when examined more closely.
@@CuriousGeorge13 I’m currently breaking in my first pair from them, natural veg tan horse butt. Really excited to see the patina develop. I think they are built better than the iron ranger.
I'd love to see you cut apart a pair of Frank's boots, specifically the Patriot. They've marked them at under $400 even though they appear just
as well made as their regular $600+ line of boots.
Yay for the JK! I'm waiting for mine to be delivered!
I think the JK 300 boot is the best most durable boot out of them all .
It has the best value and quality built.
I had the Thursday Cadet and now the Vangaurd. You can feel the more support and quality and its worth the extra you pay for.
Great. Thanks. A TH-cam channel that is actually useful.
I just started watching a show on TH-cam. I had no idea. I was so interested in boots. I have learned a lot by watching your program. I live on the Olympic peninsula in Washington state, and I can definitely use some high-quality. After watching many of the reviews, I’ve decided to start with Origins. I think they will be lighter , versatile, and more comfortable for everyday use.
Hey, new subscriber here. I discovered your channel recently and have been binge watching tons of episodes. I've been learning a lot, thanks!
I've been taking more interest in good shoes in the last couple years, prioritizing comfort, durability, and repairability. I'm more of a walker than a worker. I walk dogs for a living, so I put a lot of miles on my shoes. I don't baby my shoes, but they're not getting beat up with industrial stuff that most work boots are built to withstand. Perhaps that's why you don't really seem to cover most of the shoes I've been wearing or considering. I'm wearing Mephistos lately and have a pair that has been resoled twice now since I got them in 2017. I've recently been looking at some other brands like Finn Comfort and the US made moccasin brands like Quoddy and Rancourt. (I actually have a pair of Quoddy slippers and just ordered a pair of their boots)
I realize Mephistos are pretty far from most of the stuff you cover, but I would think that some of the shoes and boots from Quoddy and Rancourt would fit well in your series on moc toes or MITUSA. Any reason why you haven't looked at these? I would be very interested to see how they hold up to your style of in depth review.
I am currently breaking in a pair of jk 300 boots. They are breaking in fast. It has been a week and I can wear them for a full work day. The company was awesome to work with also.
Thanks for the video! Would love to see a MITUSA Extreme video, covering Berry compliant combat boots, or any Berry compliant boots, though the tactical/military boot market is where you tend to see that being indicated.
Cutest little sidekick ever!!!
Just got the wallet cuz... hoping the best for you and yours...keep up the good work. 🤘
Great review, thank you!
Awesome!!!!
Totally agree with the rankings.
Great vid! Regarding new Mitusa, I’ve been so curious about Franks!
Good information. Very helpful
I used to wear Danner Rain Forest and Danner Acadia boots at work. They were the best boots in 20+ years of being a cableman. My preference was the Acadia due to it being lighter than the all-leather boot Rain Forest (even if it could have used a little more shank).
Danner sucks. Very low end boot
@@whereRbearsTeethwhat would you recommend over their 600 line? They look good for all purpose including getting wet. I’d hate to get my redwings wet out in the rain. Thanks.
Dude I love tactile turn pens. I have 2 of them they’re both awesome. One in copper and one in titanium.
After watching a lot of your videos and reading around, I finally spent some money and got a pair of Thorogoods for primarily work. It helped my body as a whole tremendously and the price was really justifiable in my mind. And knowing how they are made I know they can be rebuilt to a degree. That seems like a tremendous value to me. I hope to get quite a few years out of them.
I don't even wear or want to wear a boot. But I watch your videos all the time. I love your passion and appreciate your knowledge.
Just ordered my TT Pen using the ROSEANVIL discount code! Also just moved into my new wallet! It's breaking in wonderfully!
i would love to see some "project farm" style tests, like grip tests on dry wet and oily surfaces or puncture and wear test.
great reviews. i hope to someday have a solovair boots. but truth be told, i would love to see of review of the brandit phantom boot.
@RoseAnvil why no Allen Edmonds boots? Lots of boot options and styles, made in USA, and they offer re-crafting services. Would love to see how Allen Edmonds stacks up against some of your mainstays. As always, great content!
this is 2M sub channel content. Maybe physical analitics are boring, but you nailed the NB Baclava and Astro Boy backstories so I'm hooked
I just ordered a pair of JK Fire Inlander S because of your JK reviews. Cant find one negative comment about JK. Looking fwd to them.
Have always tried to buy American products. But just about everything in the US is not made here. Bought 2 pairs of Red Wing steel toe lineman boots in '86. Wore 1 pair for years. Couldn't remember where I had put the other pair. Yesterday, I opened a box with a brand new pair of boots. These Redwings are built like a Tiger tank. Impressive throughout. No imported parts. Will enjoy them into the next life.
I purchased a pair of 1907s yesterday. I chose them over the Iron Rangers because they fit my orthotics better. I currently own a pair of Thorogood boots that I am not to happy with. They seem to tear my heels up, could be I bought the wrong size, so I will carry half the blame there, as it always seems to be caused by rubbing against the stitching that runs around the heel. My biggest complaint is that the lace hooks are pulling out of the leather, the leather is stretching/yielding. I have one hook that fell out, and others that are just hanging on. I will have them resoled, and when I do, I will get the cobbler to install eyelets or better lace hooks.
As always - just amazing work. I usually prefer to watch the videos a few times to really intake all the info. Have you heard of Comunity Made? I know you did a sneaker video and one for Opie Way. Comunity Made has some cool stuff I’d be curious to see what you think.
I will be visiting a red wing store next saturday and this ranking, especially the viewers value ranking, will be really helpful :D I might end up with a moctoe after this.
Carolina boots are excellent. Most also have been American made. Lasts forever, well compared to your regular hiking shoe. They also come in EEEE (4w) width which is a requirement for me.
I got very lucky on my non-vibram 1000 miles. They were in the clearance section of a DSW for $150. After coupons I was able to walk out with them for just under $100.
There was a time when Corcoran jump boots were made well. That was a lifetime ago and I will never own another pair of jump boots for a multitude of reasons. I like the Thorogood in 8" without the liner. I wear them all the time. They work for my flat as a board feet and are comfortable. I have a pair I have 4 resoles on! It will be a sad day to see that pair go away. If I were younger, I might wear a logger boot, but those days are gone along with my arches. I am more aligned to the fan rankings on this test. I am thinking of getting some of the Jim Green boots for casual use.
Love my pair of JK 300s.
You should review Austrian combat boots, the Feldschuh Schwer is a pretty good heavy boot for work or hiking, the Feldschuh Leicht is probably the best alternative to Docs or other fashion boots (although they are still pretty tough and can be used as work or hiking boots as well, absolutely not just for casual wear.)
I had three pairs of those for over twenty years. Two I put hiker soles on, and one I left original. I was always wearing them. My wife hated them, so finally I gave them to my son, and now he wears them everywhere.
Have you considered a online cut boot museum
Can you do a video on shoe and boot laces? And what laces last longest? I've read reviews on Amazon so many boot laces that are supposed to be good but end up failing so fast.
Kayne is not in trouble for good reasons. He's 100% correct.
This channel made me appreciate Red Wing as a company. I always saw them on shelves, but assumed they were just a generic boot like Ariat. I genuinely had no idea their history and quality was as good as it is.
Gonna have to get a pair of those JK boots
I would love to recommend Meermin brand for your next cut in half boots video.
Always good content.
I swear by my Redwing 4420s. I’ve worked on the railroad for 16 years only love them.
I just bought a pair of iron rangers as my first boots and I'm so happy I didn't mess up 😅
The Tactile Turn sponsor was very good. Well done 😁😁
Picked up a custom Claude. Thanks! Ever think about cutting dress shoes in half?
Hi, any plans to do a Made in USA hand-sewn series? Yuketen Maine Guide boot is incredible. Quoddy, Russell Moc and Rancourt are all good too.
I have a pair of 1907 and jk 300s. Both are incredible and I’m actually looking at getting another pair of 300s and I really want some rough out iron ranges…My only complaint about JK is their shipping cost. $40 minimum
I love my Corcoran boots but mine are made in Massachusetts which it’s made with a good amount of different materials it has a veg tan leather insole. The outer leather doesn’t have that plastic feel to them as they feel more like they had less but more of a wax to make it still shine but not like the boot you have is more dull. And my out sole was black with the upper being brown and it was more oil/ slip resistant so it’s weird to see just how different they are. I but boot wax and bees wax on mine for water proofing and so motor oil slides off them. Mine still have that cool strap which I wish ever boot had because when you are climbing ladder’s putting tires away or jumping 3 feet off a car lift they help my feet a lot
I would LOVE to see you cut a pair of high end mountaineering boots in half! They get kinda crazy though.
I'd be interested in seeing how Ariats new Benchmade line stands up to Tecovas and others in that price range. I just got the james r toe in bison and I was curious about the construction but I don't want to cut them in half
I love this channel.
4:58 so far my favorite review statement of anything anywhere.
Right now you ought to be looking at Frank’s Patriot and Drew’s Logger. Both $349.
Another great video.
Please cut the new $350 dollar Drew’s 10 inch logger boots in half and give us your opinion.
Could you please get a hold of the Jim Green Wedge Sole Razorbacks. Would love a review on those
Would love to see William Lennon boots,urban shepherd boots,r.m Williams boots. Something British,German,Australian. Love the videos. Keep up the good work.
Just found your video! I’ll definitely be paying attention. Next feb let’s make it dead tiered from working too much feb lol
JK 300 from the get-go. That was easy.
Top of my list has the Forefront Bison roughout.
Have you ever reviewed one of the Truman boots?
Hey, you should take a look at Drew's 10in loggers. They're made in Mexico so they don't qualify for this category, but they're 350 bucks right now and I prefer them to my JK superduties. Only difference is a tiiiiny layer of cork near the front toe area and a slightly wider toe box, and the price of course
I'm a MITSU, steel-toed, boot buyer.
The foam thing is not even a shoe, let alone a boot.
Right now I am wearing $250 worth of Red Wing, made extra stinky with both HFO/IFO fuel oil and DREWCLEAN3000 degreaser.
The Red Wings are heavy, and take a long time to break in, even in abusive environments of saltwater and petroleum. BUT years later, they are still boots, and by that I mean they protect your foot in the course of WORK.
I have an expensive pair of Red Wing hipsterboots c.2014, that I like, and on par with what you are looking at, but they're not steeltoed.
I like that pen.
I'm wearing pants, shirt, socks, all USA-made, so I gotta get that pen.
Red Wings are rated high, because they are good and because their loyal following, but I am looking for a QUALITY steel-toe, MITUSA, boot, that is light, because I am pushing 50, and work in boots.
THANKS
As to boots for you to review, I would like to see a critique of the L.L. Bean Kangaroo Skin Upland Boot. I think they are very comfortable, lightweight yet robust, and have a long lasting durable design. Thanks the the great reviews!
How about some Irish Setter videos, just bought some and wondering if I made a good decision.
Would love a video on Loake Chelsea boots (but would hate to see you tear a pair in half!) They’re a nice quality leather boot with a Goodyear welt for £270.00 that I believe are still made here in the UK. I’m still breaking mine in but the rubber sole version are robust but still classy
Carolina has an American made boot, I’m a welder I’m hard on shoes been wearing the 505 for 15 years, best boot period for welding!!
Whoever put redwing over JK has never worn a pair. JK makes awesome boots and worth every penny.
You must not watched till the end….his rankings are at 15:47 and he ranked the JK #1 (Far above the red wings).
If you listened you would have heard he recorded again and adjusted rankings. Also jk was above redwing on quality, however a bunch of idiots ranked redwing over jk in value. The 300 is their bottom line boot not even near the super duty or even OT.
Great video and agree with your rankings, JKs make quality boots. Hoping you can review/add Franks Boot Company's 10" Patriot for your MITUSA series. Probably the best $350 PNW Logger style boot at the moment. Thnx
Liberty Footwear is small company out of Grand Rapids MI, they make decent US made work boots in $170.00 - $190.00 range.
As a phone company splicer I love my Iron Rangers but they can be tough on the feet sometimes. When I want comfort around town I wear Thursdays. I bought the Red Wings 4 years ago for $165.00 and the Thursdays for 150.00.
Love this series. Just ordered a set of boots from Truman. They have a handful of boots at $399 (and thus they technically qualify for the mitusa series). Would love to see a set of Truman’s cut in half.
I have 3 boots and one derbies from truman and they are perfect, only shame is they use foam instead of cork but a good cobbler can help :)
I love my American Made Keen Braddock's. More than rugged enough for me and they feel like regular shoes!!
I've had my Keens Braddock's for 2 years and I wear them all day, everyday! I work in HVAC design/sales, so not hard use. They are still in fantastic shape!! If you want a rugged and comfortable shoe go with Keens!!
Need a review on R Watson boots! Look like great quality at a decent price!
We need a Carolina Gold Moc Toe boot review. They look slick and they’re $300. I’m definitely curious since I was always really happy with my Carolina work boots.
Edit: I know it’s off topic since they’re made in Mexico but I’d still like to see how nice they are once they’re cut in half.
Im wearing carolina series 28 work boots rn and would also be interested in this
@@handsmcneil the 28 series 8 inch waterproof are GREAT! I’m sure the other models are fine too. That’s just my sample size so far. I had insulated waterproof loggers from Carolina when I was doing electrical work and I loved those too. They make some good boots for the price you pay, especially when you can find a sale.
Carolina boots are highly underrated by the TH-cam boot community. Their AMP old folklore Moc toe boots are the most comfy pair of shoes I have ever put my messed up feet in.
@@thegreenman2030 oh man, they certainly look comfy. I’ll have to check those out when I go to try on the Gold Moc Toe. Thanks brotherman, I appreciate the heads up.
@@RirtyDascal yeah theyre one of the most popular decent work boots here in northern ca
