I believe Jeremiah is by far the best when it comes to content regarding cowboy boots, he's engaging with us lower peeps, does giveaways, takes on requests, great products, and is one badass dude!
Thanks so much buddy! I don't think anyone is lower. I owe everything to you and other viewers who watch, comment and engage. The giveaways help me show my appreciation for you all but I don't think i'll ever be able to even out how you and others make me feel. You are the best!
I just talked to Stephen from Tim's Boots about getting my hands on some Black Jacks. Fantastic experience, and they can do much more than I even realized. I talked to him about putting a custom stitch pattern and braided scallop on a pair of mad dogs to create what I would consider an ultimate classic cowboy boot with some personality and soul. The customer service was fantastic, and he took the time to help me decide on what suited my needs best while also sharing some of his knowledge and experience with the brand. Some serious eye-openers. I love when people are willing to actually talk with their customers, and share their knowledge. Makes you feel so much more confident in doing business with them!
This is my first time watching your channel. Nice work. Simple, easy to understand you were concise and to the point. Thanks for putting this info out for the world. You mentioned "that transcendental experience"... That is exactly how I felt when I slipped into my Tecovas Cartwright, scotch goat boots... I look forward to more of your videos.
I agree 100% that Blackjack makes an amazing boot. I got a pair made for me this year that are amazing. I have a few pairs of Lucchese that I love, but the BJ are my go-to these days.
Awesome stuff man I always love these ranking videos, you’ve had the opportunity to wear some incredible boots this years, thanks for all the hard work you put into sharing so much content to folks throughout the year, keep up the good work 2022 is gonna be a absolutely epic year for your content I’m sure‼️🤘🤘
Thanks so much Moses! I'm so grateful for the opportunity to try all these awesome boots this year. I appreciate you for helping make it possible. Much more to come!
Finally the ranking video. I’m glad to see what was number 1. Can’t wait to see what boots make the 2022 list. Hopefully it’s more than 30 *speaking it into existence* Can you also do a ranking video on the jeans?
30 boots would be amazing next year! Thanks so much for watching and I know you have a pair of Black Jacks on the way too. Jeans ranking video on Saturday!
Great job with this video! I own 30 pairs of boots nearly every brand. Ten pair of Black Jack boots and your spot on with them. They are every bit the quality of Lucchese classics for less money. Very customizable as well. I've found Tim's boots is the best place to purchase them.
Just ordered my second pair of Black Jack. Sueded caimen. I've wore boots for 35 years. Lucchese, Anderson Bean, and Black Jack are my go to brands. I'm currently up to 15 pairs.
Well deserved, Fil👍. Hondo makes awesome boots and of course I love that they are traditionally built. Leather on Leather. Love the name of “double stacked leather soles” on some of your boots.
I’ve been wearing my Tecova Banderas while up here in the rain and snow of the northwest and I think they’re great. I waterproofed them myself and have had no problem in that area,and as for fit,they fit perfectly. I also have a pair of Los Altos pythons and they great,too. I guess it’s a good thing I’m an EE width.
I'm glad those Banderas are working for you guys. Just goes to show there's something for everyone! One of my favorite thing about covering so many different kinds of boots!
I trimmed the toe area of the insole on my Banderas a bit and it made all the difference in the world. The insoles were buckling a little, which made for comfort issues. Now they're great
My son wears these all the time. He works at a local equestrian center, so they see a lot of "muck" in addition to dust and grim. He loves the fit and has zero complaints. Really interesting how this particular boot either fits or doesn't fit people.
Great ranking video Jeremiah. You had some fantastic boots to try out in 2021. Thanks for all you do to help out all of us boot lovers. Looking forward to a terrific 2022.
Good, enjoyable reviews. I have the Heritage & Lucchese and like them. The Heritage ran large, wide enough for my EE feet. I was skeptical but the mavens at Heritage said this style ran wide & they were correct. As for Tim's, got a pair of rattlers from them and was very happy with the boots and service.
Def agree with the Assessment of the bandera by tecovas. I’ve owned the pair I’m actually currently wearing for about 6-8 months now and while the ropers from tecovas were more annoying to get off and on(shank difference makes it insanely hard to get the foot into the boot it’s crazy) the bandera is def less comfortable than I expected after my first pair were so comfortable. (First pair the wife bought me was full quill ostrich and fit perfectly out of the box and I adore them).
As always a good review of the years boots. This is my guess for the most viewed video of the year 😄. Loving the promo codes t-shirt, there are some great savings available.
Intro made me chuckle 😃..... I finally scored my first pair of Black Jack's in the square toe natural caiman!! The quality and finish blows all my lucchese in the similar price range away!!!
Cool to see all the different types in one place. I prefer square toe for work so I can use the toe to nudge things around and round toes for going out since it makes me feel like I'm not at work. I recently found a pair of vintage Lucchese boots in elephant for $100 and am super impressed with the fit and finish. My Tony Lama in ostrich are awesome, too...then it's back to work in Justin square steel toe. I need to try a few of the ones you listed here for sure. Thanks for posting!
I must say just wow, I usually don't watch this kind of stuff because being born and raised a Nebraska Sandhills cowboy, I often think what the heck does this guy know about boots or what ever cowboy clothing they are reviewing. lol yep I'm a bit closed minded, but I'm glad I watched this, best pair of boots I ever owned and loved was a pair of Hondo's from 30 years ago and put 3 set's of souls on them and they day they were just plain wore out was a sad day. I thought Hondo had went out of business from the brothers fight of one wanting to keep them in Texas and the other wanting to move them to Mexico so to hear they are still in business makes me happy happy! only down side is the dam ugly square toe that most of the boot companies are still ramming down our traditional cowboy's throats thanks Ariat Not. Oh dam look there I go rambling anyway thanks for a great review from someone that actually seems to know boots! I'd like to know more about Fenoglio Boots, I watched a vid on them seems traditionally made and made in Nocona, Texas.
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed watching. I love Hondos. Such a great value. They were always made in Mexico they just moved from getting the boots made in Juarez to Leon even though their HQ was in El Paso and when that disagreement happened a salesman for Hondo split off and started Honcho boots. Honcho have many of the same looking styles as Hondo still today only they are made in El Paso instead. Hondo is making quite a comeback under the founder's son Fil Guijarro Jr and 2021 was a great year for them. They are really hustling. You'll see them around much more in the years to come.
Have you heard of Cuadra, El General, or Arango? Cuadra is top of the line El General is a high value boot with traditional construction Arango makes good quality exotic boots and decent cow hide boots
Based on your reviews, I bought a used pair of Justin Classic Ropers. Paid $50 for boots that had only been worn two or three times due to incorrect sizing. They fit me just fine!
Man this was fun to watch. I jumped on the channel last month and have been binging ever since, so I'm super pumped for 2022. All you need to do is get into cowboy hats so I can have a one stop shop for everything lol One brand I definitely hope you check out next year is Fenoglio. I know you're familiar but I can't wait till you test a pair because from what I've seen alone I'm a huge fan. Thanks Jeremiah!
Thanks Ryan!! So glad you're enjoying the content! I tried to get Fenoglio this year but couldn't make it work. Definitely on the top of my list to check out next year!
@@JeremiahCraig absolutely!! I actually found a pair from an online retailer in the configuration I want and they have my size, so I might be giving them a try sooner than I expected!!
Found a pair of no name cowboy boots at Bass Pro shop for $100 but because they had been worn before they sold them for $60. Best cowboy boots I have ever owned. Fit amazing and feel great
Some options for reviews: Olathe R Watson Fenoglio Corral Montana Old Justin and Noconas Do a review of a brighter colored roughout boot. R Watson would work here. Roughouts are very popular in the stores in Texas.
Great list!! I did some older Justins and Nocona's last year and I look forward to doing more next year. Funny that you mention the bright roughouts. I wanted to do a video about bright roughouts SO BAD from either R Watson or Fenoglio last year but it just didn't work out. Hope to change that next year. We'll see. Thanks so much for your requests!
"Hello Jeremiah, woaw that's a long video !! Okay, I think I prefer pirokou style cowboy boots because cowboy boots are really good cowboy boots and I love these ankle boots! They're the best!"
I didn't get the chance to try any boots in that family over an extended period of time this year but I will talk about them in my quick impression review wrap up tomorrow night on a live stream!
@@JeremiahCraig Ahhh that makes total sense and understand that! I was just curious where they would have been ranked is all lol as you know that’s my favorite company lol 😂
I love the boots that "Cuadra" has in their Las Vegas stores, other than that I shop online. I ordered the Lewis boot from "Luchesse" and I'm thrilled to death about the fit, comfort and Quality!! I really enjoyed this podcast, keep it up and thanks!
Good fun video! Not surprised the Blackjack pirarucu and Hondo boots were right up there. Great boots. Like to know what you think of the Roper Carson harness as a budget boot. Thanks for all your great videos Jeremiah. I always look forward to them and the in depth reviews.
My two favorite boots I bought this year are both from Cuadra. Cuadra Volcano Red Ferrari semi square toe, and Cuadra Desert Navy Tonka Semi Square toe; along with their matching belts. I'll definitely branch out of my preferred styles and try some of your recommendations; in fact I'm on the hunt for the floral heritage boots.
Man I agree with the Hondo those boots look great never mind I'm a sucker for a tall boot with Buckaroo pulls... I'm loving my Tecova Prescott in Bison... Surprised those didn't make it this year
I wanted to do a video on those tecovas but other opportunities came up like the Black jacks. Hope to make a video about the Prescott next year! Thanks so much man!
I have a boot fetish so I really am glad I accidentally found your post. I have 3 Luchesse one Justin and one Dan Post, But I’ve worn a lot of boots in my life. I hate rubber soles and will not even think about that. My new Luchesse crocodile is hard to break in and older cowboys need easy on the feet boots. I’ve bought three Tecovas and gave my first pair away and sent my second pair back, just can’t even get them over my instep, but for some people it’s a good boot but impossible for me.
Great video Jeremiah. Very informative. Have you tried a pair of Mayura boots? They are made in Spain the old fashion way and are extremely comfortable. They get my highest recommendation.
@@JeremiahCraig it is and given having to import a lot of cowboy boots to the uk sometimes I have ended up with a uk 10 a lot so having to wear thick socks
Interesting to run across Hondo boots in this video. I've been wearing them ever since an old school cobbler recommended them for me. Heck, I moved 12 hours away and still went back to him for resoles and new boots! About to order another pair. They all get used hard, clean up well from stepping in animal waste to go dancing.
I managed to snag a few pairs of boots from goodwill. I own a few pairs of Dan Post and Rocky boots. I cannot afford getting brand new from the boot stores. They are just too expensive.
I only had the chance to do in-store quick impressions of Olathes this year but I hope to try them over a longer period of time in the future! Especially a boot like the CB7. Loved that one!
The Hondo boot was the best ranch boot on your list. Tall shafts & good spur shelf. May I suggest reviewing Anderson Bean & Olathe Boots. Olathe is by far my favorite ranch/riding boot on the market today. Also, try to get your hands on a good used pair of Larry Mahan's.
@@JeremiahCraig I don't know exactly how you get the boots you review. Do they come straight from manufacturer or through retail stores? Outpost Western Store in Kansas carries Olathe, Anderson Bean, and Fenoglio Boots. Pam & Ty are mother and son owners. Look 'em up and give them a call. Maybe they could help. Would really enjoy your opinions on all 3 brands. Keep up the great work 👍.
thank you for all the research you do. Im wondering about the laredo trucker round toe boot in the tan. No reviews on you tube about them. I wanted to know more before I buy them. thank you
Do you have an opinion on Durangos? Curious about the Rebel Pros. They are my first pair of boots and I was surprised at how comfortable they were compared to others I tried on.
I love my Ariat Hybrid Ranchers (last on his list) and wouldn't be caught dead in his #1 choice. Takes all kinds. He did he say he'd be injecting his own preferences - I was warned.
Love the ranking videos! Need some advice from a master, picked up a vintage pair of all suede justin boots that were never work on eBay (their very nice leather insole and leather lining) but they weren’t properly stored and the suede is stiff as hell and getting out of them is a pain, got any break in advice for stiff dried out suede justins? Thanks!
Do you still need to do a review on some JB Dillon boots even if that means just going to a boot factory outlet and trying a pair on like you do sometimes doing that sort of impression
My challenge is the break in period. I have bought caiman and leather and they stay too stiff. I'm looking for a soft leather that I can wear with business professional attire. I'm getting 2nd hand Lucchese ostrich, those look promising, but wondering what exotics offer same level of soft leather.
Hey Javi! Caiman can be very stiff. Especially the back and tail cuts because there are bones in the actual leather. Ostrich is a very supple leather which needs very little break in. Other supple leathers are pirarucu, water buffalo calf, regular calf, kangaroo, and caiman belly cut is more supple than the other caiman cuts.
I have a question Jeremiah, I am a 11 D width for R toe boots and I want to get a snip toe pair. If I buy them should I get a 11 EE width because I’m afraid they’ll be to tight on me since it is a pointier toe shape and much more narrow. If you could get back to me with your advice I’d really appreciate it!! Thanks!
I'm kind of new to cowboy boots. I wear a 10.5 EE and I recently bought a square toe boot my foot fits fine in 10.5EE but I can't get my foot in the round toe 10.5 EE should I try a larger size?
I’m surprised JW boot didn’t rank higher. I really like both my pairs, the ostrich, and the bull hide. Traditionally made, semi custom sizing available, along with a nice carrying case that I got this year for the Bullhide. They fit well, and wearing nicely. Considering their modest price, I think they should’ve ranked much higher.
I get it! I love what JW Boot Company is doing. They were in a 4 way tie at 15 total points and could've been as high as the 9 spot but the semi custom sizing hasn't worked well for me and the cloth part of their non removable insole does hurt their rankings since it's already starting to fray in the red caimans I reviewed last year. Don't get me wrong, I think they doing a great job otherwise and have amazing options. I just think that the others in that 4 way tie would last longer with the way that I wear boots.

Finally a good review and new boot companies I have not seen. Many people just care about cost or looks, but the construction is key to me
Love your reviews. I’ve picked up Tecovas and Lucchese this year and there is no looking back! Keep up the great content and cheers to 2022
Leaving the capo and tuner clipped to the headstock is going to leave a mark.
No worries! I call it character

Well deserved, Fil👍. Hondo makes awesome boots and of course I love that they are traditionally built. Leather on Leather. Love the name of “double stacked leather soles” on some of your boots.
I have acquired two pair of Hondo's and love both. You win the category for tall tops in my book.
Keep up the great work Fil! The industry needs boots the boots you make dearly
I’ve been wearing my Tecova Banderas while up here in the rain and snow of the northwest and I think they’re great. I waterproofed them myself and have had no problem in that area,and as for fit,they fit perfectly.
I also have a pair of Los Altos pythons and they great,too. I guess it’s a good thing I’m an EE width.

Do a review of a brighter colored roughout boot. R Watson would work here. Roughouts are very popular in the stores in Texas.

4:16 i have a pair of the ramblers and once broken in they are the best boots i’ve ever put on my feet
Nicely done Brother love the black jack boots 👍🤠
Thanks buddy!

Excellent! Thanks Jeremiah.

I’ve bought three Tecovas and gave my first pair away and sent my second pair back, just can’t even get them over my instep, but for some people it’s a good boot but impossible for me.
This is nice I love the ranking videos, by the way you need to try the ariat heritage stockman boots. I am pretty sure you will like them!
Great video Jeremiah. Very informative. Have you tried a pair of Mayura boots? They are made in Spain the old fashion way and are extremely comfortable. They get my highest recommendation.
great video, just to say I get that with sizing, I'm a uk 9 and a half most here don't make half sizes
Thanks! It gets old trying to find work arounds and compromising with sizing doesn't it?
@@JeremiahCraig it is and given having to import a lot of cowboy boots to the uk sometimes I have ended up with a uk 10 a lot so having to wear thick socks
Interesting to run across Hondo boots in this video. I've been wearing them ever since an old school cobbler recommended them for me. Heck, I moved 12 hours away and still went back to him for resoles and new boots! About to order another pair. They all get used hard, clean up well from stepping in animal waste to go dancing.
2 things I really dig, Music and Boots.
I managed to snag a few pairs of boots from goodwill. I own a few pairs of Dan Post and Rocky boots. I cannot afford getting brand new from the boot stores. They are just too expensive.
Great finds! I completely understand going the thrift store route. It's so underrated.
I was looking forward to hearing some Olathe criticisms. I remember you felt unbalanced, but I’m curious if you had a chance to break them in
I only had the chance to do in-store quick impressions of Olathes this year but I hope to try them over a longer period of time in the future! Especially a boot like the CB7. Loved that one!
@@JeremiahCraig I have thoroughly loved every pair of Olathes I’ve had. Almost 30 years of wearing boots and they’re still my favorites.
The Hondo boot was the best ranch boot on your list. Tall shafts & good spur shelf. May I suggest reviewing Anderson Bean & Olathe Boots. Olathe is by far my favorite ranch/riding boot on the market today. Also, try to get your hands on a good used pair of Larry Mahan's.
I would love to do Anderson Bean and Olathe boots! I tried some old Larry Mahans last year and loved them!
@@JeremiahCraig I don't know exactly how you get the boots you review. Do they come straight from manufacturer or through retail stores? Outpost Western Store in Kansas carries Olathe, Anderson Bean, and Fenoglio Boots. Pam & Ty are mother and son owners. Look 'em up and give them a call. Maybe they could help. Would really enjoy your opinions on all 3 brands. Keep up the great work 👍.
You should check out Don Cuco’s boots in Mier Tamaulipas Mexico, great service and quality
Am partial to the snakeskins, tonys, and Hondos
Love the song!
In the new year can we see more videos with you and Brenna how about reviewing the circle G women’s snakeskin boots And awesome videos all this year
Totally! More videos with Brynna next year are already in the works. We'll add circle G to the list. Thanks so much!
thank you for all the research you do. Im wondering about the laredo trucker round toe boot in the tan. No reviews on you tube about them. I wanted to know more before I buy them. thank you
Do you have an opinion on Durangos? Curious about the Rebel Pros. They are my first pair of boots and I was surprised at how comfortable they were compared to others I tried on.
I look forward to trying the Rebel Pro next year. You're not the only one to request it so it's on top of my mind for sure. Thanks Shawn!

Have you ever heard of a company called Soto boots their comfortable and easy to break in but very durable
I love my Ariat Hybrid Ranchers (last on his list) and wouldn't be caught dead in his #1 choice. Takes all kinds. He did he say he'd be injecting his own preferences - I was warned.
If the boots have plastic or rubber, they are just boots and not real cowboy boots.
Hello Mr. Craig, I love Western Boots 🥾! But I have arch support problems so which boots can hold and support my foot and stay strong for a long time?
Ariats are comfortable because they started out as an athletic shoe. They feel like an athletic shoe.
Love the ranking videos! Need some advice from a master, picked up a vintage pair of all suede justin boots that were never work on eBay (their very nice leather insole and leather lining) but they weren’t properly stored and the suede is stiff as hell and getting out of them is a pain, got any break in advice for stiff dried out suede justins? Thanks!
Any tips on a good swede boot. I typically have justin, ariat, and Anderson bean.
I'm trying out a pair of rough out Fenoglio boots right now you might like. US made like ABs and they have a padded insole like all those brands.
@@JeremiahCraig Hey thank you, Where do you find the fenoglio's?
Do you still need to do a review on some JB Dillon boots even if that means just going to a boot factory outlet and trying a pair on like you do sometimes doing that sort of impression
You're right! JB Dillon is on the list for extended test or quick impression. Thanks for the request! I'll see what I can do for 2022
Can you look into reviewing Alvies ? they seem like good boots
100% I'll try to get a hold of some soon. Thanks so much for the request!
My challenge is the break in period. I have bought caiman and leather and they stay too stiff. I'm looking for a soft leather that I can wear with business professional attire. I'm getting 2nd hand Lucchese ostrich, those look promising, but wondering what exotics offer same level of soft leather.
Hey Javi! Caiman can be very stiff. Especially the back and tail cuts because there are bones in the actual leather. Ostrich is a very supple leather which needs very little break in. Other supple leathers are pirarucu, water buffalo calf, regular calf, kangaroo, and caiman belly cut is more supple than the other caiman cuts.
@@JeremiahCraig Thank you, am I the only one who calls Pirarucu boots Pikachu boots!
What boot jack is that behind you? I have caiman boots and my boot jack scuffs them, need an Exotic leather friendly boot jack
Dang you looked at a lot of good lookin boots this year.
I know right?! So grateful. Thanks for watching and commenting to help make this channel possible
@@JeremiahCraig No pobblem, Thanks for making your videos so entertaining.
Off all your beautiful Boots, i like the most Heritage Boots💗👍
I have a question Jeremiah, I am a 11 D width for R toe boots and I want to get a snip toe pair. If I buy them should I get a 11 EE width because I’m afraid they’ll be to tight on me since it is a pointier toe shape and much more narrow. If you could get back to me with your advice I’d really appreciate it!! Thanks!
Hey man! I own the same Justin Ropers, yet can’t find a replacement for them anymore. Have any advice for a solid brown roper?
Yo Jeremiah Craig you got to check out David’s Western wear in Nogales Arizona. That’s where I get my boots made. Custom fitted.
I love AZ! Looking forward to visiting again and when I do David's is on my list. Thanks!
Blackjack on your guitar and on your feet 🤠
The three boots I'm considering aren't even on you top 21.
What are your thoughts on Tinhaul, Stetson and Ropers?
I just find your channel, what is your opinion about El Canelo?
I haven't really gotten into the style of boots they make. Maybe someday
Wish there was more Justin’s
Good one!
Cheers Tommy!
Can you do a review on the Justin 2253 cowboy boots
Yes! Been meaning to do a review on that Apache boot for awhile. I'll see what I can do for 2022. Thanks Noah!
What do you think about the red wing nail seat 1155 boots?
I'm kind of new to cowboy boots. I wear a 10.5 EE and I recently bought a square toe boot my foot fits fine in 10.5EE but I can't get my foot in the round toe 10.5 EE should I try a larger size?
I’m surprised JW boot didn’t rank higher. I really like both my pairs, the ostrich, and the bull hide. Traditionally made, semi custom sizing available, along with a nice carrying case that I got this year for the Bullhide. They fit well, and wearing nicely. Considering their modest price, I think they should’ve ranked much higher.
I get it! I love what JW Boot Company is doing. They were in a 4 way tie at 15 total points and could've been as high as the 9 spot but the semi custom sizing hasn't worked well for me and the cloth part of their non removable insole does hurt their rankings since it's already starting to fray in the red caimans I reviewed last year. Don't get me wrong, I think they doing a great job otherwise and have amazing options. I just think that the others in that 4 way tie would last longer with the way that I wear boots.
