Half my family lives in Mexico. I've gone there to have shoes made for years; the bookmaking tradition is so strong there. I think they make as-good or better boots than many American handmakers. And they've been doing it for hundreds of years now.
SIZING - Perhaps updated since this posted… 1.5 size down from your average true size. 1/2 size down from you Branock or whatever…. Good info to work with a boot shop or trace your foot as the site recommends
If you're concerned about them being made in Mexico, everyone needs to keep in mind, I believe the leather used for those is Seidel from Milwaukee.
So, most components, the leather and Vibram soles are at least made in the USA.
If they were using a well known leather why wouldnt they state that? if they are not advertising it, its most likely a cheaper product.
@@666Necropsy ... I'm honestly not sure. Seidel is a good standard heavy duty leather product. Not the considered best on the market for beauty though. I do know that some other brands, like Bordon made in Columbia do advertise they use W&C leather, but for Drew's I'm not sure why. Maybe the officiandos don't really consider Seidel a niche high end product like W&C or Horween... not sure.
The piece of leather you’re referring to is called a sockliner
My best Cowboy boots are all from Mexico.
Just ordered their original roughshot. I got a pair of JKs last year, so I'm curious how they'll compare. Great videos, keep em coming 😎
Thanks I appreciate that. These are great boots as well.
Good & informative video. Nice job. I'm going to give Drew's a try.
Thank You, they are a fine boot, you won't regret it.
awesome review. I just got a pair of their 8"
Thanks for subscribing, I've been watching your channel for years. Great content. 👍
mine are coming in today im excited to try em out for myself
Awesome, I'm sure you'll be pleased with them.
I really do like just wish they had a steel toe option
That was a great review! Mine will be here tomorrow UPS. Can't wait! I'm a size 10D so I did as the website suggest and went with the 8.5E size. I also have Franks, Nicks and JK's that will be here sometime next week.
Wow your going to have a plethora of new boots, congrats. Let me know how the size was for these boots. Thanks for the comment.
Let me know how the JK’s are!
I just home and got them on my feet. One correction. I got 8.5D not E. I'm glad i did get the D's as these are much wider than my Franks and Nick's. But WOW! You're right they are comfy but super stiff right now. The sock liner is a full thickness piece of leather smooth side up. I feel the arch support a lot more and no lumps like i have in the other two.
@@tom42bates nice, glad to hear that. I'm enjoying this boot over all my other boots for sure. If ya can keep me posted on how they are working out for ya. I will be doing some more videos and am trying to get feedback from folks. What color did you get?
@@maxwellhouseranch1004 Will do!...Mine are black, exactly like yours.
They’re great boots. Easily comparable to Nick’s in my opinion.
Great boot but I love my JK’s
awesome video! im thinking about making the switch from wedge soles to PNW style boots, and was wondering if the high arch and lug sole is still as comfortable on concrete as wedge soles? i clock in around 10 miles a day on mostly flat surfaces and im not sure if the switch will be worth it, thanks!
I wore wedge soles and still do, however when you switch over (if you've never worn this style of boot before) it will take some time to adjust. With that being said the benefits in the long run are worth it. I wear these and other brands just like it all day on concrete and if I wear wedge soles all day my feet, back and knees hurt. That's not the case with these boots, and your foot health will be better as well, your feet will be dry with an all leather non synthetic boot. Just wear high quality wool socks, like darn tough, put cedar trees in your boots at the end of your day, and you'll never look back. I hope this helps in your boot journey
These are the same price but have some better options than the MTO Franks Patriot but lack others like safety toes, basically the same lead time as well. But I think that it's a better choice to support American workers and buy the Franks Patriot, even if it's all smooth out unless you fit in their standard sizing and and got the ready to ship smooth/ rough out.
It could be your job getting outsourced to Mexico one day.
Frank’s didn’t have my size in stock on the Patriot so I ordered them in my size in black, an email later they agreed to do a smooth upper rough out lower in a steel toe configuration for me. Took about 8 weeks. I still would like to get a pair of Drew’s budget logger and was told a safety toe option is in the works. So many of my Hispanic coworkers talk about the boots made in Leon and the quality of them. I know my Thursdays were made there but mine are Chelsea’s and are rarely worn except on the occasional out to dinner night with the wifez
They are very well built! How much was shipping? Thanks.
I went to Bakers Shoes in Eugene Oregon and picked them up. I'm not sure how much shipping would be .
Thanks for your hard work and wisdom if you don’t mind me asking what type of socks do you wear with this boot?
Darn tough socks, they are the best.
How wide is your foot compared to others? The wide toe box worries me as I have somewhat skinny feet
I call Bakers Boots, give them your dimensions. They would be able to let you know what size would work best for you.
Great video. Thank you.
Getting the same pair shown here.
I wear 10.5 in Timberland. Little confused about how to size. Thoughts?
I would probably go and call Bakers Boots in Eugene OR. They own Drew's Boots. They can guide you to the correct size you'll need.
i'm searching for this silhouette from some manufacturer in europe, but can't find since i'm not a pro in boots
I get the pricing issue with boots. If one can afford it I recommend patronizing American makers and workers but everyone has to make their own decisions on that issue for sure. Most boots for most workers can justify paying a couple of hundred more as they will generally last for years and one can have that pride in supporting American workers.
For sure, one thing I neglected to mention is the cow hides are coming from America or Canada. I had an extensive conversation with One of the owners of Drew's, Kyle Baker and he put a lot of work into making sure this boot would be just as good as any American Made Boot, he achieved that goal for sure. Thanks for your comments, I appreciate the feedback.
@@maxwellhouseranch1004 I'm sure it's a great boot. Just a fact that it's made in Mexico and this' isn't to malign foreign workers just to make sure people know that using American Skilled Craftsmen is important and will cost a bit more. When we're talking about a custom boot, most can afford a bit more and will realize that this matters more today than when we (USA) had a monopoly on manufacturing.
I think these are an entry-level for people who don't want to take the jump from Redwings to $550. I see these as the testing boots to see if you want to buy custom PNW boots. Jm2c
Are they waterproof
The boots are not waterproof. They are water resistant . If you add some oil to them, that helps out even more.
Can you drive wearing boots like this?
Yes. The boot is stiff at first, however the more you wear them the easier it is to drive in them.
Man the PNW logging boot brands have been hitting it out of the park on price. JK, Franks and Drew’s are all spec’d very close for $350.
I paid $550 for a Frank’s logging boot. For what is worth I would have tried one of these first. Usually the way they cut costs is using different tanneries or different part of the cow hide but it’s still 8oz leather and the construction is the same as a boot that costs $200 or more over the cost of these boots.
What was the lead time on your pair?
I didn't have any, I went into Bakers boots in Eugene Oregon and picked them up. I pretty sure I've seen comments that they were getting them in about a weeks time Call Bakers Boots and they can give you a time frame. Great group of people there.
I ordered mine directly from Drew's, with an estimated lead time of 2-3 months. I'll give Baker's a call, thanks for the tip
@@wingit4316 ordered mine last wednesday and they're supposed to be here today, so just under a week for me
@@juliandeuel1539 Odd, I ordered mine the same day and still no word from them. Did you get them from Drew's website? My model/size might just be out of stock
these are made in Mexico. Im sure they're great boots but i think the extra price for the USA made ones are well worth it. its easy to outsource to mexico and offer lower prices on boots. Support the companies that have been doing it in the USA for decade without compromising on quality.
I definitely see your point, however they absolutely did not compromise on quality.
If it wasn't for the criminal U.S. government with all its regulations, taxes, etc., Mexican labor wouldn't be so much cheaper. The whole system is screwed up and corrupted, intentionally, so that it's extremely difficult and expensive to manufacture in the U.S. It's all by design, and it's malicious. I think these boots prove that Mexican craftsmanship can surpass U.S. craftsmanship. Leon Mexico isn't called the shoe capital of the world for nothing.
who is responsible for that exactly? the government is made up of people. trace down that corruption a little more.
guy has a American flag up yet supports Mexican boots? if you can support American workers. i want nothing to do with anything from mexico.
I'm sure everything you own is american made!
What a stupid comment, thanks for the contribution. I’m sure EVERYTHING in your life is only American made… 😂
