Politely, I ordered mine BECAUSE of your original review… 30 work minutes later and my upper stitching became frayed on every corner. My welt join (inside heel transition) had a 1/4” wide gap in the heel leather compared to the arch area, and when I asked White’s about it (with a picture attached) they just told me this was “normal” Since then I have not been able to reattach this arrangement of leather permanently for more than 48 hours, even when cleaned, glued, clamped, and left alone for a full day in a temperature/humidity controlled room (in my wood shop wood stock area) After 1500 hours, several areas have come unstitched, I’ve either saddled stitch repaired those areas myself or gotten annoyed and superglued over the frays… The upper leather has broken in BEAUTIFULLY, and hugs my feet LITERALLY perfectly, however the issue with the stitching and my right footbed being completely compromised to any sort of water resistance because of that gap in the sole-leather drives me insane when thinking of how I spent $350 on them. For that same price, I’m the PROUD owner of custom Jim Green AR8’s (even bought 3 of them), and for CHEAPER the Jim Green AR’s (3 of them), the fudge and the black barefoot African Troopers, the RUGGED African Toopers, and now both pairs of the nee 719’s. I LOVE their mission statement and everything they’ve done for conservation and job provision. I have 1 other pair of MITUSA boots, which is an incredible pair of JK bison boots, and they’ve been fantastic to me!…. Right now Nick’s seems like tooooooo much of a trigger pull for me, but I love that they back their boots with repairs!… Before anyone calls me a fanboy collector, I own 2 businesses and depending on where in the country my work week takes me, I absolutely have used and abused every pair of boots I own… bit awkward but true to say, the South Africans so far have absolutely cornered the market as far as value for money and at an easily accessible price point! AND because of their soling method of strictly glue-only, the boots are incredibly easy to resole should you need. I love the look of my White’s all day tho, it will be interesting to see JG’s Moc Toe I’ve heard rumors of 👀
I had the same experience with Grant Stone. The speed hooks, on my then new Brass Boots, loosely spun around. I would have to make sure the speed hooks were oriented correctly to lace the boots. Obvious to anyone it was a flaw in an almost $400 boot. Contacted their customer service thinking they would repair them or at least stand behind their product. Said it was normal.
I prefer the longer format from someone who has actually worn them. Identifying material and construction is useful and helpful, but there’s no substitute for practical application.
I watched your previous video on the Perry boots. I ordered the 8” Perry hybrid when they were on sale. Got them in about 3 weeks. They are good boots and plenty of room. I wear an 11D in all other shoes. Ordered 10.5D from Whites and feel I could have gone to 10. But I think a positive of 10.5 is that I’m able to put in a Birkenstock insole, it’s the 2 piece insole (cork heel and blue insole). Love the boots but on the left boot the first 2 eyelets are not straight across from each other and once laced, looks awkward. Character I guess.
I work 4-16s and an 8 for 9 months a year working on airfield lighting and signs wearing the Perry select. For the $ i choose them over the Thorogoods I've worn for the previous 20 some years. Other than the toes wearing through they hold up great. The Thorogood wedge sole lasts longer and seems lighter but the Vibram on the Perry's grips better especially climbing steel.
@NoNameNo.5 negative. That's all that has worn out other than the sole. The Thorogoods welt cracks stitches come loose and counter loses structure. They are both great but for the extra $ for my use its worth it. No toes hold up to runway aggregate. Tough toe glue on toe protectors even Keen rubber toes are eaten fast working on your knees.
The Perry Select are a good value considering the high quality leather used. Also White’s has sales a couple times a year so that knocks a few bucks off. Father’s Day and a couple other times.
Can we get the get the 8" Georgia Lace-to-Toe Loggers cut in half? They are my favorite work boots and curious what you think of them, happy holidays, love the content keep it up
Mine are holding up great, i work inside in a power plant so mine arnt as tore up as these but with an equal amount of hours and steps. Very comfortable when broken in , will buy again for sure . I rotate them with my thorogoods and Nicks .
My natural shoe size is a 10EE. That's what I wear in Vans, Chippewas, Solomon. Have worn a 9.5EE Perry for the past month or so. Wish I sized down another half size. I have quite a bit of heel slip unless they're laced constrictively tight. Live and learn! Hope my 9EE MP Shermans fit better whenever those are finished
I also find White’s I need a full size down, I’ve got a set of Smokejumpers I’d wear to hell and back but they’re wearing an ingrown nail into my right big toe because they’re a bit too long. Wish I’d have heeded their advice lol.
Hey where can i view those reddish leather boots your showed? The Drifters i believe? I didnt see them on Whites site? Im considering the Peery 8" in black,sure wish they stitched those in black thread not white, looks tacky to me not to thread match the leather.
I had a maverick. With the AWD model I only averaged 25.8 mpg and I do a looooootttt of highway. It was small (that's a good and bad thing depending on the day) and didn't have a ton of passenger space or cargo space, and had some quality issues. I traded it in with 30k or so on it for a silverado with the 2.7l engine. I got 22 mpg average after 19k miles. I don't think the maverick is the best truck for most people, and the way they're priced these days, I don't think they're worth the price for most people either. Anyways, lets see those boots. PS. it's absolutely not yellow, that's an insane take.
I want to say that I have the same amount or more hours in the first whites Perry’s, 2021 manufacture. I had them resoled once then stopped wearing them after some of the moc toe stitching failed. Doing construction, I used and abused them. I’d probably go down a size next pair
Wish trucks that were new were less crew cab. Also, have you considered repairing the sawed in half boots and selling those for funds/charity? Maybe if they end up narrow, upgrade/repair and then sell to ladies?
The Merramac polyurethane wedge sole lasts longer, no doubt longer than the Vibram wedge. I own the Whites Fultons - same as the regular Perry without the wedge sole - instead it uses a Vibram honey lug and it’s probably the most versatile long lasting outsole I’ve worn. The last is the same as the Perry but NOT the same as the Perry Selects. The Perry Selects have more arch support, but the work leather on the regular Perry/Fultons is darn tough. Quality control? Not so great.
I have a pair of danners with the polyurethane foam outsole and when the surface wears down they start to smell like mold on the outside. I will never buy a polyurethane outsole boot again
I have two pairs so far. I have a pair of Patriots that I ordered last year and this year they ran a black Friday sale and picked a pair of T-2 Highlander soft toes. The Patriots started out as not my favorite boots. They pinched my ankles pretty badly and were very stiff. Yes, they are PNW boots, but it felt excessive. I put up with it for a while before I asked what I was doing wrong. Well, I put a thicker insole in them, that was my mistake. I also started using a 50/50 solution of water and alcohol in the instructions which I had not done. After I took it out and just used a slightly thicker sock and sprayed then down a few times they worked out much better. So far the T-2's are pretty much breaking in easier, but that might be just me used to it. Anyway, would I buy another pair, yep, without hesitation. I actually think the Patriots are the best bang for your buck heavy duty boot on the market. For reference I work in the forestry and wood products business and cut firewood on the side. They are holding up wonderfully,
25:41 Via Ferratas are in Italian Dolomites, Swiss side is a bit of a different experience. You all should cut in half some Scarpa, La Sportiva’s or Mammut hiking and mountaineering boots for a change. Reviewing same old stuff is getting to be boring.
It's a Orange truck. But, the main question is? How in Hell do you fit in a subcompact truck? My Perry selects don't look bad compared to Jay's. I wear mine in the warehouse and driving my truck. No brake in at all. I have had mine for 7 months. The sole shows a little wear, but should last another year. I did get 4 years out of my Danner Bull Run before they needed a rebuild. But, Whites are my main boot.
Most of the guys who do boot reviews don't seem t' know much about boots except for whether they experienced critical failure or overt discomfort after working in them, but they also don't seem t' rotate their boots much daily or weekly [or monthly] and then bewildered when they show "premature" wear, etc. Still largely flying blind trying to navigate ACTUAL best value for quality overall, so neigh sure why this almost an hour long if will be more useful than some others....................
another history lesson..... I still haven't really nailed-down White's ACTUAL sizing, tho. It might be this or that, but then again, it may be different for the OTHER model that isn't the arch model, etc.
Yall. Every pair of boots you order by any maker at any price range has flaws. Why? Because it’s a man made product. It’s not Weston’s or anyone else’s fault. It’s no different than buying a car and finding out it has issues.
Oh look, a normal sized truck for everywhere else in the world except for the States.... PS the tray is almost the exact same size as the trays on the bigger trucks so it's not even less advantageous!
Honestly, the whites are too narrow. EE becomes slop in the heel. All whites sale boots are close to factory seconds and have had to return multiple times. With even customer service stating how could that even come off the line. I will never understand why work boots made by them on a D is so narrow.
What if you can do large scale long term boot testing? I bet your audience would consistently fill out surveys about boots for you, especially if there was any incentive for them, like perhaps a new pair of boots that they can test for you????? Hmmmmmmm? $300 boots with a commitment to answer any surveys you send about them say for 3 years, and if you fail to answer too many surveys, you charge for the boots. I’d do a survey every day for you for 3 years for a free pair of boots. Think about it. Just think about it.

I like when you nerd out on leather. It’s so wholesome and endearing. It’s cool listening to what other people think is cool, or what interests them.
I’m looking forward to you having a look at Jim Greens new Moctoe when it is released
I'll say I've watched that Russell moccasin video a few times and shared it to a few people that also enjoyed it
I like this style of video. Just chillin bs'ing talking boots and your experiences with these boots. Thumbs up for me 👍
Perfect timing, I just ordered my Perry Selects last night 👌🏻
Man, the incorrect subtitles are so distracting! I don't think they're helping anyone who would need them anyways.
I agree. Even as someone with good hearing, my brain was having a tough time with the conflict between what I was hearing and reading...
Including how many times I heard "like"...
Yes! These need to go. Moc Toe = Mosquito....

Orange. Wearing my new Perry Selects now in Tobacco Stampede. A month in them and probably 15 miles. LOVE them! Very little break in.
Good color. I ordered the Springdales in the same color because of my high arches. Can’t wait.
Can we get the get the 8" Georgia Lace-to-Toe Loggers cut in half? They are my favorite work boots and curious what you think of them, happy holidays, love the content keep it up
Great vid! I like the boot construction review in the mid-beginning?
Muddy bright yellow for the Ford Maverick!
Mine are holding up great, i work inside in a power plant so mine arnt as tore up as these but with an equal amount of hours and steps.
Very comfortable when broken in , will buy again for sure .
I rotate them with my thorogoods and Nicks .
Does anyone know what color Rose Anvil kilties would match perry select tobacco stampede 8 in? light tan or maybe oro legacy?
I just bought a pair of the BFAT and they are so, so comfortable. Also ended up getting the Flint and Tinder waxed trucker... WITNESS ME.
WITNESSSSSSSS!!!
Truck is yellow.
I prefer stitch down but will now buy my wife some pretty selects.
My natural shoe size is a 10EE. That's what I wear in Vans, Chippewas, Solomon. Have worn a 9.5EE Perry for the past month or so. Wish I sized down another half size.

Is jay getting them resolved? I missed that part. I like my regular and select perry's alot!

I thought you were going to clean and condition them 😢 would definitely be interesting to see how they look
I want to say that I have the same amount or more hours in the first whites Perry’s, 2021 manufacture. I had them resoled once then stopped wearing them after some of the moc toe stitching failed. Doing construction, I used and abused them. I’d probably go down a size next pair
I just ordered the whites sawyer just until I can get the real deal are they worth the money
Cyber orange gang
*Boot breaker success is crazy! do y'all use, like, mousepad stock for em?
Jay should resole and have the anvil sole put on top of the wedge. I’ve seen it with the Sierra and the kletterlift. Why not try the anvil
Wish trucks that were new were less crew cab.
Also, have you considered repairing the sawed in half boots and selling those for funds/charity? Maybe if they end up narrow, upgrade/repair and then sell to ladies?
Consider getting some Parkhurst's!
That’s a nice yellow Mav, man!
Trust the original! I love my Perry’s!
9:11 - yeah there are boots that the inside height can be taller than others but as soon as you put an insole it helps
Can one buy those specialty leathers in hides or quarters?
So wholesome 😢
The Merramac polyurethane wedge sole lasts longer, no doubt longer than the Vibram wedge. I own the Whites Fultons - same as the regular Perry without the wedge sole - instead it uses a Vibram honey lug and it’s probably the most versatile long lasting outsole I’ve worn.

I have a pair of danners with the polyurethane foam outsole and when the surface wears down they start to smell like mold on the outside. I will never buy a polyurethane outsole boot again
Waiting patiently on my Perry selects…😩
Leather daddy title will meet you in stichdown with a chant next year :D
Have you ever done a franks boot? I knw all pnw BOOTS are very similar u should do a franks review and cut not alot of reviews on the utube

The Maverick is nothing but yellow! 🤣
"one day, everybody knows the rules." 😂
Ballet slippers are like the Maverick 😂😂😂😂
Yellowy-orange most def
Ever experiment wth mooseskin?
The truck seems to me to be the same color as the center line.
25:41 Via Ferratas are in Italian Dolomites, Swiss side is a bit of a different experience. You all should cut in half some Scarpa, La Sportiva’s or Mammut hiking and mountaineering boots for a change. Reviewing same old stuff is getting to be boring.
I may not be a smart man, but I know what orange is.

I’d be glad to put 500+hours in a pair of boots for the channel if y’all provide the boots.

That truck is clearly Florida Gators orange…
I've been told t' SIT using Brannock.

Wait 4 months and hope they fit... But that's mostly only MTO "custom" ones.
Construction sign orange
Shart is the official color
Obviously yellow just like my first car which was a 1971 yellow four door Ford Maverick.

Hmm.. idk.. i guess it's pretty damn yellow.. have to say
No need for subtitles. Everyone understands English nowadays and those who don't shouldn't be online anyway.
Definitely yellow

JK 300, not a moc toe but maybe better value.
They call it a Maverick because they can't call it a pick-up.
Of course he'd buy a yellow hybrid truck and not to mention tuck his pants inside engineer boots....femininity
Unsubscribing until Weston apologizes for his Ford Maverick comments.
