How do you save money on boots? There are actually tons of ways, and one of the best is to buy "seconds": items with minor cosmetic flaws that have been heavily discounted. Usually the defects are minor, like a scratch on the leather, and since your boots will look like that after a few weeks anyway there's no shame in getting seconds! The physically repulsive @Rose Anvil joins me to discuss where you can buy seconds.

To those asking, my jacket is this one from Iron Heart! Sadly discontinued, some available here www.selfedge.com/iron-heart?product_id=2319
Otherwise the N1 is pretty similar www.ironheart.co.uk/jackets/IHM-35-KHA.html
The cheapest boots I ever got was when I ordered a pair and was sent two pairs by mistake. I sent one pair back and kept the other, they refunded me the price and I essentially got a free pair of GYW boots.
wow dude you got lucky!
Wtf? How can they sent 2 pairs? It's totally overweight....
@@MasterofPlay7 Yeah the box was huge when I got it, I opened it up and there was two separate boot boxes in the large box.
Amazon actually had a check box for that when you are trying to return stuff. I think they can write it off as a tax loss and sending back /processing it costs money.
I got a free couch that way. One got lost in shipping so the company sent another, months later the first showed up and they didn't want it back. My dad didn't need 2 couches and gave me one. Sweet!
Red Wing will also sell factory seconds at their warehouse sale in their MN headquarters. Discontinued models, foreign exclusives, seconds, etc. Of course this is only relevant to those of us within or around MN but it's a good chance to see the boots in person before purchasing them and getting other models normally unavailable. Last year the warehouse sale was cancelled due to the pandemic but I haven't heard anything about this year yet.
My seconds Iron Rangers came from Sierra and the only defect is a spot on the right toecap, that to me, adds character. Great video!
Nordstrom Rack and Sierra Trading post are always worth looking at if you're in the market for boots like Red Wings. For other brands...just do your homework! Lots of them have their own unique ways of selling this sort of thing (as alluded to in the end of this video). For example, White's runs the whitesriver eBay account to sell stuff that has been returned for issues other than quality ones (sizing issues or whatever) at a hefty discount. Tricker's Outlet constantly updates with new stock at far cheaper prices than retail.
Ordered myself a pair of Red Wing seconds from Sierra. Like Westin said, not too worried about scuffs or scratches on the leather since Red Wings look better once they're worn in a bit
My intro to real boots was buying the Iron Rangers 8111s; they were "store models" and came without a box. They were brand new, but discounted $60 for lack of box. That's another great way to save $, if you can find a store model. Great one-two punch here; love both you and "Rose Anvil." My most-watched channels.
Quite the traveler Nick. 2 of my favorite channels together . Thanks for the video. As always, a lot of good information.
Pumped you liked this one Billy
Two of my favorite content makers gotta love seeing them talk boots thank you both
Thursday boots also have a seconds page if I buy Thursday’s , always seconds
i've sent back 3 pairs of boots from thursday's. i kept 2. lol
Great video! I’m into seconds, definitely.
I’m hoping that at least one will ship to the UK.
I got a pair of factory second AE Fifth Avenues a few years ago. Saved about $200 and the only thing I could spot on them was a scratch on the leather sole which would've happened the second I wore them outside anyways.
Sound advice! Thank you
Love these vids
Great video. I am lucky to live less than an hour from Red Wing headquarters in Minnesota, where the huge basement is a beautiful array of factory seconds. Half of my boots came from there, and as you noted, the 2nds are typically indistinguishable from the firsts. Red Wing must have a very strict criteria for firsts, but some of my “seconds” are as good as the firsts, and you pay about 60% of full price! I also see them at Sierra much more than the Rack.
I snagged some Red Wing 1907's on Grailed just the other day and they're great. Got Iron Rangers on ebay last year and that experience was great too. Like they said, due diligence is key.
I've gotten a couple pairs off of Grailed (and countless clothes). My pair of Stows were barely worn and around 40% or more discounted. Love em!
Great find!!
Got a crazy pair of thorogoods at sierra at a crazy great price 👊
The Red Wing store in Red Wing, MN has its factory second store in the basement 🤘🏻
Weston is wearing a fantastic jacket
I've only bought 2 new out of 7 pair. The rest all seconds. Very satisfied with all of them.
Weston and his band saw reignited my shoe love. Damned band saw.
One that wasn't mentioned here is Berkeley Supply.
They are my number one recommendation for getting Red Wing factory seconds BECAUSE they are very detailed about WHICH factory seconds they offer. I've bought 2 different pair from them and absolutely could not identify any issues whatsoever with the boots. I have 9 pair of Red Wing's total. I've bought a few of the Sierra seconds and they are usually obvious. Like my slate moc toes had a spot on the toe box where a drop of glue had gotten on to the suede.. Another pair of 875's were so bad that I sent them back. They were listed as the right size but were so far off that I couldn't even get my feet into them, let alone just being "smaller" than normal. And the welt was thoroughly chewed up from some kind of machinery. That was the worst pair I tried but thankfully Sierra allows you to return seconds.
Big recommendation for Berkely Supply though. They don't always have a big selection, but you can trust anything you buy from them will be virtually perfect.
The Red Wing Brogue Ranger is “the one that got away” for me.
Great video Gents. I've bought 4 pairs of Red Wing seconds. The worst "defect" is unaligned eyelets, which is no biggie. I'm probably the only one who notices it.
Thursday has a seconds website.
I saw that Nicks also has seconds on their site, I pop in like 2 times a week to see if they have anything in my size.
Yeah whites does too! Should have mentioned
Buy the boots you really love. Invest in a really great boots regardless of price. Just save.
I have 2 pairs of Factory seconds from Grant Stone and its a HUUUGE value. It's always like superficial defects like exposed glue or weird welt fudging.
Boots i got as seconds had different hight heels. I didn't notice until my knee started to hurt like a lot. After some time i narrowed it down to the fact i actually get pain after waring those perticular boots. I inspected them and found that. My cobbler exchanged heel pads and sanded leather stacks to the right size for like 20e and now they are fine. I inspected the boots right away when i got them carefully but i didn't think of checking the heel hight
Most factory seconds boots are final sale anyways, so even if you noticed it at the beginning they may not have let you return.
I used to work for Zappos, and 6pm is thier clearance site. The only thing to keep in mind is that a lot of thier stock are returns from Zappos customers that were not in good enough condition to restock. So make sure you really inspect what you're getting before you wear.
Also, Zappos often gets targeted by scammers who buy luxury items and return fakes. So verify the authenticity of your purchases if possible.
Found a pair of danner bull runs worn once for $100 on Poshmark and a pair of Redwing LoggerMax unused for $120. Amazing boots for cheap and basically new!
I really miss our local shoe outlet that would have actual factory seconds for cheap. Oh well, thanks for the tips. I did not know about the Thorogood site.
Fantastic video. Would have been good to mention which online stuff is applicable to the international crowd boot and which are US only. Also, Meermin has started doing some decent factory seconds sales every 6 months or so
Glad you liked it! Meermin's a good addition
I once walked into Marshalls HomeGoods and found a pair of Timberland premiums in olive nubuck, with a padded tongue, for $90.
That was nuts for sure. Never seen another pair like 'em, either.
Why am I the only one in the thumbnail?
Rose anvil clickbait
@@briansanchez1740 IT'S NOT CLICKBAIT IF HE'S ACTUALLY IN THE VIDEO
my thumbnail maker said there wasn't enough room for both of us (in this town, pardner)
Love the jacket you're wearing
@@Stridewise It was super awesome of you to make a cameo appearance regardless
Hello, I come from the Rose Anvil channel, I will subscribe here, greetings
I jumped out there and bought a pair of Redwing Chelsea’s from Sierra. Let’s see how goes. They are for work so appearances aren’t important.
Adelante had a huge sale on returns and seconds a few weeks ago. Unfortunately most of them seemed to be odd widths, like extra wide or narrow.
The sticking point for me is the fact that you can't exchange if they don't fit you right. Especially for online only DTC brands, that means you could be stuck with a boot that just doesn't fit right. And each brand sizes boots a bit differently. For me that's worth paying for the full amount. I could maybe justify if I already owned a pair and just wanted a second.
Most of my shoes are factory seconds from Allen Edmonds.
I liked this twice.
Everytime they mention Bluntstones im glad I bought Redbacks ☺
Thursday will sell you seconds or returns if you contact them about it
I got my Iron Rangers from Nordstrom Rack as factory seconds for like 40% off.
Ehh nice brave stars i love how those jeans look!!!
The rise is too low for my big butt but they have a new strongman fit that I'm all about hehe
Just got pair of factory seconds Parkhurst Elmwood in mahogany, $150.00 under original price
@3:18 is that a helm boot? ive only ever seen the white stripe from them
What brand is rose anvil guy's jacket? How can I get one?
Everyone keep in mind that some places that offer Boots that are factory seconds will not take returns and you also run the risk of getting a Genuinely botched and uncomfortable pair of boots.
I just got a once worn pair of factory seconds Redwing 875's on ebay for a screaming deal. $170 shipped. Can't find the flaw anywhere and it's driving me mad. I keep staring at them looking for something to jump out...
What jacket is nick wearing?
do any of the Spokane Boot Makers have Seconds Sales?
I bought my first pair pair of Thursday boots in factory seconds. Saved $70 off their loggers. I hope they fit! No returns!
hey can i get your opinion on my next pair of boots? i love my thursday presidents but i want something fancier for the weekends or for when i want to dress nice. i feel like the lasts from thursday were made for my feet specifically. I'm looking at whites mps and vibergs 2030. I remember you saying that vibergs have the slimmer profile than the whites. which last is more similar to the thursdays? also is horsebutt a lot better than regular leather? viberg has nice horse leather.
Check out grant stone
@@vomitorchestra would you say the last is similar to the Thursday last? I've seen them. And they look cool. And they are cheaper. But I want to get one pair from here first. I want some pacific northwest boots. Lol
I love my 877 seconds from RW. …you’re gonna beat boots up, so uneven features and slight variances will be no issue later.
what about a shell cordovan seconds?
definitely, go for it. it's like the most resurrectable leather in the world (i have a pair myself)
I got a pair of factory seconds red wings for $80 at nordstrom rack. The only thing wrong with them is a hole in the top of the tongue. Wear 'em every day
I will only buy seconds, 10 plus pairs later of RW, whites, wescos.. no issues.
Great video. Immediately found Timberland American craft series on a suggested 👌 spot. 60%+ below msrp. 360° Goodyear welt, leather midsole, Horween leather, American made. Looking for another color. THANK YOU Both so much.
A much needed distraction and great price break.
#IanHurricane, 24 inches of rain in 30 hrs.
Blew out 2 old cheap pair in 2 days.
Help w product for my Thursdays rugged and resilient leather. Soap them first? Ian made me put them into severe duty, drywall removal, service. 12 inches of water in my home. Cutting 2 ft from every single wall. 3hrs before and after work. Black matte is ghost 👻 white.
Suggestions please! They're just perfectly broken in. 💔
hell yea! glad this was so helpful Harry! i think buy a leather cleaner and. conditioner for the boots? cobblers choice sells stuff for thursdays
Virtually all of the Chinese bootmakers sell seconds alongside their firsts in their Taobao stores.
It must be quite chilly in Weston's studio to be dressed like you're outside in cold weather. Or is that just fashion ?
Video like this is why my size always runs out lol. Jk great video but my statement stands lol
0:41 the chinos ?
J Crew 770! i'm actually trying to sell those (32") if you want them!
There used to be a lady in my area that sold hytest safety boots. That’s where I would go all the time for my work boots. That’s all she had was seconds.
We used to call them "imperfects."
ID on Nick's jacket??
It's this! www.selfedge.com/jackets-vests/iron-heart?product_id=2319 I'm obsessed with it but I don't think they're restocking :(
Check out the Ben Silver N2 Deck Jacket. Similar look. I have one and it is amazing.
There is some tension there, no? unilateral tension.

I got my Wolverines 1000 mile boots as 2nds for 79.99 from Sierra.
I had no idea his name was Weston
Don't forget Poshmark!
I rolled the dice on a pair of Thursday Vanguard seconds. Both boots had all kinds of jacked up stitching, but the right boot's toe box was so shallow my big toe printed through it.
How could you guys not mention Thursday Boots factory seconds website?? 🤔
I guess because they only open once a year
Oh, I didn’t realize.

And thrift stores too...
The easiest way to get someone to not support your website is forcing them to sign up for it. "Link below" which lead to a drawn out sign up...
hey no one's got a gun to your head
@@Stridewise You're right and I didn't, but you are the one asking for the support. There are many other youtube pages with the same info; if you want support make it easier ;)... Que the "I don't need your support", after pluging your website multiple time LOL. Get off your high horse, you're speaking about shoes ;)
@@audiomanmik sorry if the hundreds of hours of free information has even more free information behind an opt-outable email field you entitled weirdo
@@Stridewise none of it is free, this page is monetized and your website is collecting information to sell... Do you know how the internet work you ignorant weirdo? 🤣
@@audiomanmik OK how much money have you paid to watch
So uh... Why is Weston the only one in the thumbnail? 🧐. It's because he's better looking isn't it? 😏
Nabbed a pair of Thursday Loggers for 183 off of eBay today.
STOP GIVING AWAY THE SECRETS. Just kidding.
Nordstromrack, yup, hopefully they send the product you ordered. The odds are 50/50
#fancyboy, moctober @ Nordstrom rack for the treats
you guys should make boot babies. lol, sorry.
Rose Anvil should review moccasins.
