#CowboyBoots #WesternBoots #JeremiahCraig - บันเทิง
I am a scientist that lives and works in the city in a lab, and I wear my cowboy boots everyday. I am maybe a wannabe cowboy, but I do enjoy my boots! Well said, Jeremiah!
Same here! I'm a teacher and just recently bought my first pair of boots. I wear them to work everyday and other occasions. I'm not a cowboy but I appreciate that lifestyle!
you´re not a wannabe cowboy, you just aprreciate cool - masculine foot wear. I´m in the real estate industry , walk into banks, lawyers´ offices and so forth every day and all I wear every day of my life (including days off) is a pair of cowboy boots from my (40 plus) collection .... and I ain´t no cowboy 🙂
@@abrahammedinasanchez1302 Amen!
I'm nearly 40 years old and just bought my first pair of "western" boots. Since then I was always under the impression that you had to be a certain type of person to wear them and I am not that person. Well I also learned that I love the way the look and feel and I will always own a pair from here on out.
I’m a French doctor and I live in France 🇫🇷, I wear cowboy boots almost every day!!!
Thanks to Ariat making slip resistant soles, I'm a professional chef that wears cowboy boots in the kitchen! It took awhile for the rest of my brigade to appreciate them, but now everyone thinks they're cool as hell! And, as we already know, that's because cowboy boots ARE cool as hell!
That's so cool!! Where do you work??
@@JeremiahCraig I work at a high end country club, in Orange County, California of all places 😅
Not a lot of boots and Resistol hats around here, but as my boys have come to find out, women love a man that stands out 😉
I agree 100% with you Jeremiah. Anyone should be able to wear cowboy boots anytime they want anywhere they want. And that is awesome that you watch supernatural That's a good episode.
haha hell yeah! Thanks buddy
A friend of mine was wearing the same pair of cowboy boots for ages (mine lasted for about 8 years of continuous wearing). His mom was always nagging and told him to buy a new pair because they were in pretty bad condition. One day I was having a coffee at their place when his mom arrived and he told her: "Well mom, I guess you were right about my boots. Yesterday I threw them in the trash, this morning I saw a hobo picking them out then he threw them back without trying them on." :D
haha! Awesome story. I love it
Im from China and i love cowboy boots, I wear them everyday and I love to tuck my jeans in them, and yes my ancestors do got some of those riding boots created hundreds of years ago, love your history information buddy!
As pertaining to myth 3. I wear cowboy boots with Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth etc. t shirts. As far as that goes, you see more rock musicians wearing cowboy boots than country singers these days. I’ve always been a big fan of the western movie genre, and I live in the south. So I kind of gravitated to boots through those things.
I can relate to this man i wear slayer,megadeth even death metal shirts but i never wore them
Once with my boots when i wear my boots i have a vaquero or western type shirt but ill try to mix and match after seeing this comment
Staring at those Black Jack's back there! 😍
Finally someone said it. I am so tired as a Mexican hearing people tell me that I can’t wear boots cuz iam mexican and i aint country like bruv mexicans were some of the first cowboys and were absolutely the first cowboys in america
only rule to wearing boots is to wear them like they're yours... because they are, and that is all the reason you need.
Damn straight!
I am 82 years old and have several serious back issues. Cowboy boots with the walking heel are the most comfortable footwear I have ever worn and I wear them all the time. I have 20 pair, mostly Ariat, but a few Stetson, Justin and a Dan Post. Ariats with the ATS insole are my absolute favorite. Anybody can wear cowboy boots! I think everyone should try at least one good pair!
I’ve been wearing cowboy boots since I was in highschool and I’m a “city boy” as they say. Cowboy boots are for Everyone. They are a piece of history that will keep living on
You can be anyone and live anywhere to wear cowboy boots! Thank you Jeremiah.
Cowboy boots. No excuse. Wear em. Work em. You'll love it.
JC, I enjoy wearing cowboy boots with suits, which is now a trend. Even in your boot group I have fun posting my suit and boot wardrobe.
I live in Indianapolis IN, and work for a law firm in Nashville TN. I travel to Nashville TN for a week every month. My coworkers got me into Ariat cowboy boots and I shop the Ariat brand store in Nashville almost every visit. Now I wear Ariat cowboy boots all the time and have a half dozen pairs, along with other Ariat gear (insulated vest, hilo shoes, etc.). I get a lot of compliments on my boots both in Nashville and Indy. My coworkers have made me an honorary Tennessean.
It should be a rule...never wear gym shoes with jeans..... only cowboy boots with jeans. It's just manly.....
What about cowboy boots and khaki shorts? I don't wear gym shorts. But i do wear khaki shorts. And during the summer, our barn gets up to 110 in the summer and i usually unload hay in khaki shorts and carolinas, or cowboy boots. The only reason i wear shorts is because my father went to the hospital for heat strole
@@american_patriot1776 I would say why not eh? I wore my cowboy boots on the beach at the jetty's in Jacksonville FL with shorts because there were so many jellyfish everywhere washing up and my girlfriend wouldn't even walk with me from embarrassment. I made it a funny sight but still I didnt risk getting stung either right?
I love this! I’m in my 40’s, live in Los Angeles, and recently bought my first (and now own 3 pairs) pair of cowboy boots. I never considered them in the past probably because of the myths you talked about. But upon thinking about it, cowboys stand for independence, going ones own way. Not watching one news channel and then regurgitating whatever they say. I like my boots and see myself wearing them for a long time. PS they are waaaaaayyyy more comfortable than I would have expected.
Jeremiah, I live in Scotland and my Loblan cowboy boots are the most comfortable footwear I have ever had. I wear my boots most days with my straight leg jeans and I love 'em! Keep up with the good videos.
Here in Houston cowboy boots are used as dress shoes in the office. Also during the Houston Rodeo everyone gets their western gear on.
Im a paramedic. And one of the legendary doctors in our area wears cowboy boots ever day in the trauma room. Its awesome
Really entertaining and informative video! I’m glad I found your channel before purchasing my first pair of boots (Lucchese Carsons). Keep up the great work!
Love the shirt JC! I am well into the boots, on my way with the cowboy hat and starting the shirts. Responses are almost always great positive ones, but on the rare negative or sarcastic ones I love to smile and respond to something like “where’s your horse” with something like “you did not see him next to your basketball?”
Tim's boots are great guys to deal with. Nice review. Thanks for sharing!
I am a heavy metal guy and i love messing with people at the office who are shocked that I don't listen to country music, lol.
haha! That's what I'm talking about!
A properly fitting cowboy boot will feel better than a sneaker any day of the week! They should feel like putting on slippers but will last a lifetime. So glad this video is out there. Keep on, man! Keep on!
And yes, I’m a wannabe cowboy too. Boots just are a different nature and damn good for ya!
The only thing that can prevent you from wearing Cowboy boots is your own self confidence. If you feel good wearing them you rock them. If you are self conscious wearing them you ain't gonna pull it off. Doen't matter where you live, what you drive, or what you listen to. When I roll up in my Mustang convertible with BB King turned up on the stereo and I get out wearing boots, jeans, a hawaiian shirt and a fedora I don't fit anyone's mold. I am me and I do it well.
I like your style.
Cowboy boots are the only footwear I’ve ever had that don’t give me blisters during the break in period.
Daaamn JC Love the Energy of this video man!! An I agree with you 100% kick A$$ an take those Names man
Well done JC. I totally agree with you!!👍👍😀😊
I saw a video you did at Helen's leather in Boston. I love that place! Live about 30 miles south and I wear cowboy boots all the time. They rock!
I totally agree with you 👍 💯 Jeremiah, especially since i watch and take your advice when i visit boot shops and check the fit of boots 👢 😉
Amén to that, I work in IT and wear cowboy boots and hat. It’s a Texas thing in my opinion.
Myth #5 - Rounded or Pointy Toe Cowboy Boots squash your toes. I've got all kinds of toe styles with my many pairs of cowboy boots. I've had to explain it to people that the vamp (foot) is longer than your athletic shoes are to accommodate the narrowing toe. Naturally size and proper fit play into this as well. The only time I've ever had boots (any style and I have many) that hurt my feet was when they needed lots of breaking time or my feet had grown and the boots were not too small for me.
Just remember that if you want to wear your boots, no matter what kind they are, wear them!! I've got some tall boots and most of the time I wear them with my jeans or pants tucked inside the tall shafts. I've gotten quite a few positive compliments from both men and women, and very few negative ones. So the moral of this is that only you can make you happy; others will make you unhappy if you let them. Don't worry about what other people think; Stand Tall and Wear dem Boots!!
Totally agree with you!
p.s
Love that energy of yours)
I enjoy wearing cowboy boots period, that's it!! Thanks Jeremiah!!
I always go with a boot that has a traditional hard leather insole and a boot that's a half size larger then add a padded leather insole. And I always wear either Black Jack or Cowtown.
I heard the “they’re uncomfortable and cumbersome” one a million time plus a million more. No, they’re not, yours just fit bad.
My first pair of cowboy boots I received from my dad when I was I am guessing between 6 and 8 years old. They were black with red tops, boy they were pretty. I wasn't a cowboy I was a kid. I am a 62 year old Baptist preacher and executively wear cowboy boots to church, to town, to work where ever I go that is my foot wear. Have a good and godly day.
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
Well said, sir!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi. Great Video! I like what your saying.
I agree with you 💯 %. You can be any one and wear cowboy boots. I love your videos!
Great video. I totally agree. I don't listen to country music. I wear cowboy boots. I don't play basketball. I wear basketball sneakers. And I live in Texas.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 Hey Jeremiah can next video be about taking care of the boot shafts because mine are not staying straight up, could really use some pointers please and thanks 😊 🙏❤️
I remember in the 80's I saw a few rockers wear cowboy boots, mainly snake skin cowboy boots.
I have 4 Justins, 1 Dan Post, 1 Luchesse, as well as Santa Rosa engineer boots. oh lets not forget a pair of Dubarry Galway boots. love them all and i'm not even from US but from Kosovo.
love your videos Jeremiah
I'm an Urban Cowboy who only wears cowboy boots. For everything. I even conduct symphony concerts in my Ariats. Don't care what anyone thinks; they're comfortable and look great.
You are the best. I think I've done pretty well with getting over #3. What do you think?
Thank you for debunking these
Great video
"We just attract the best" Love that👏😂🇺🇲
awww heck man, even new yorker anthony bourdain wore cowboy boots and he talked about how comfortable they were, as for as the second myth, it was my understanding that the whole cowboy outfit was based on mexican vaqueros
I bought my first pair of boots a couple weeks ago and let me tell you I’ve never worn something so comfortable
I always wear my cowboy boots to church on Sundays i love wearing my cowboy boots im a huge die hard fan of cowboy boots ever since I was a child.
I wear my cowboy boots in the city all the time..I representing my small town upbringing by wearing them...It doesn't hurt that I live in the midwest so I see that more than most..But ill rock my boots no matter what city I'm in.
I literally can't walk in regular shoes anymore, I need a heel or my knees buckle up
I don't have a ranch or a farm but I have tons of cowboy boots
I mean... as a metalhead I wear cowboy boots
Hell yeah
Hey what boot rack is that behind you? Looks nice.
you get the right fit and the cowboy boot is the most comfortable footwear that you can get
My uncle’s an accountant and he wears his cowboys everywhere. I’m a music producer and I’ll find any excuse to wear them. They’re just cool, we need no other reason to wear them!!
Anyone remember those episodes of Seinfeld featuring the urban sombrero, and the one where Jerry tries to run away from bullies while in cowboy boots? I think it low key perpetuated the whole stigma over going Western wear in big cities.
On the other side I think there are good representations of going western in midnight cowboy(if your dream was to be a gigolo), and taxi-driver(if you wanted to have a nice makeshift tactical set up in your footwear.
Wear your boots. Anyone that has a problem with it truly has a problem.
Hyer boot company of Olathe, Kansas was credited with making the first American cowboy boots, Just because other countries made boots, doesn’t mean cowboy boots aren’t American.
OMG loved the Supernatural reference HELL YEAH and yes ANYONE can wear cowboy boots, It doesn't matter what you do for a living where you live or what kind of music you love nothing looks cooler or feels better on your feet than a good pair of cowboy boots hell i own 5 pairs and love it.
I loved all your debunked myths especially the 3rd one. Totally agree with you that it seems a lot of these cowboy boots companies don’t want your business if you are not some kind of cowboy badass, flag hugging person.
I think you are 100% right. This has gone on for a long time and they will close their doors before they will bend sometimes. I guess Deborah Winger and John Travolta will have to make another cowboy movie in the Houston suburbs to get the trend started again. They better hurry up while they can still walk and not sitting in wheelchairs 🤣🤣 But, it's true.. they started a trending boot fad in 1980 and that lasted well into 2 decades.
Love your shirt. Lol
Thanks Justin! Me too haha
I have to tell you. I have always loved cowboy boots and tried to wear them when I was in high school I got laugh at so bad i never touch them again and one day I saw one of your videos and It inspired me to give them another chance.and Iam glad I did because now been loving every minute of it. Thanks
I'm so happy to have helped Justin! Keep rocking those boots. It's your life wear what you want! 🍻
Agree on all counts.... Just trying to imagine why some boot companies would put off perspective customers....Hard to say, perhaps they just want to appeal to cowboys by saying "only real cowboys wear this brand"...Perhaps they think this will increase their market share with cowboys/western types who are put off by everyday folks wearing cowboy boots... Who knows... Your rocker example is great, rockers in great cowboy boots scream sexy. But regular guys and gals can look mighty sexy in them as well...
I want that shirt!
Hello Dear Mister Jeremiah, this is from Finland-Europe, I'm noticing you seldom are mentioning The Lucchese manufacturing in E Paso TX, I have 3 pairs from their classic line, and have had also, Nocona, Justin brands, but Lucchese are way higher quality and fit but so are their today's retail prices during the past few years prices went skyrocket (I got mine$ 450each If my memory serves, yet buying boots online especially from overseas is rather risky business and if something going wrong custom made items usually can not be returned, ) Now at the end, I'd love to hear your opinion, what may be the reason for the fact that fewer retailers are offering Lucchese boots these days, seems like this brand is primarily sold via their own webshop, the Lucchese bootmaker.com, some ten years ago this was different,there were many retail shops who took orders and carried Lucchese but no more, Thank You for Your time and Best Greets, Paul
I’m a little nervous about buying boots on E bay
Boots till I die
I had a question what is etiquette for men and women concerning cowboy boots? Because a woman can wear shorts or Shorty shorts their cowboy boots and look great! I think it is frowned upon in a lot of peoples opinion especially people who are just diehard country listen to country music dress country all the time a man cannot wear shorts and wear a a pair of cowboy boots but a woman can is this true or not?
Men look great wearing cowboy boots ands shorts
Not many guys do it but the ones who do it look really cool
Im not sure if you reply to your comments or not but I love western boots. I'm a bigger guy at about 260 and no matter what boots I buy or wear there is always a slight squeek when I step from around where the heel meets the bottom of the boot and im just wondering if this is normal or if im messing them up possibly?
For instance I've gotten a pair of Justin BR720s, 2 pair JB Dillon Reserve boots, and now a pair of Rujo boots that do it. I dont seem to have the same issue from more work style western boots from Ariat though
@@kylewetzel1030 Take whatever insoles are in the squeaky boots out and sprinkle a generous amount of baby powder into the boots, shake the boot back and forth, not up and down, put the insoles back in and your squeaky boots should now be in stealth mode. Good Luck, Pard!
More of lace up logger guy. Whatever works for the individual
Where do you get your boots
I live in Alice Wells County Texas... I wear whatever I want... don't mean that I live in cowboy country I have to wear my Ariat, Black Jack, Justin, Bean etc.. everyday or I have to wear my Stetson hat everytime I go out.... I wear my Elephant boot in San Francisco California for that matter when I visit my mom... I don't care what everyone says this is a free country and specially when In Tex whose gonna say why I'm wearing my Danner, Lowa, or my Rocky during the round up? it's a free country it's what makes this country all about. It's what I fought for.
Wear whatever you feel comfy.
God bless
i walk miles every day and i live in london england
A lot of people that wear running shoes don't even run. End of discussion.
Myth no.4 . Pointy toe cowboy boots cause bunions. I've actually heard that.
True. Goes along with the sizing!
I hear mith number 3 every time I'm wearing my cowboy boots, but I really don't care about it.
Maybe those boot companies are simply not being greedy , so they don't care if they "offend" some people ?
I'm still not buying Chinese boots
hey J im a hardcore hiphop rapper and i only step in gators snakes ostrih exotic cowboy boots
Myth #1: wearing cowboy boots “says something about a person”
Everyone had boots for riding, but the cowboy boot is from Mexico
I wanna roll in dough!
I'd like that for you too! 😂🤣
I think a lot of people have a hard time adjusting to traditional boots because society as a whole has spent a generation wearing nothing but soft sneakers, and they have developed soft feet like women.
C'mon dude just shut up
I mean, it's okay if you feel more masculine wearing your boots honestly i think we all feel that has way, but wearing cowboy boots instead of sneakers doesn't make you "more man" than the guy who wear Adidas or some bs
For myth 3, I say that any person who wants to wear a cowboy boots can wear a boot if they want to but people that wear boots say a certain thing about a person. A person who wears boots because they think that it will make them country should not be allowed to wear boots but if you want to wear boots because you were raised on wearing boots or if you think that they look cool and you think they’re cool I think you have the right to wesr them
👌👍
i wear my boots all the time, i don't like flat shoes

"Ranching" was not invented in Mexico, boots , hats, horses ,cattle, the Spanish language were all brought here by Europeans , and do not come from Mexico, these things were adopted by Mexicans not invented by them , yeah sure they have there own versions of these things , but they did not originate there ...
city boys that dont work should not wear work boots or cowboy boots
First
Jesus loves you bros
I disagree with the last one. I think atleast to wear a square toe you gotta be country and drive a truck
