I have an idea for a video. I only buy used boots. I often see them described as "vintage" but the boots don't have dates on them. I really don't know if I'm wearing a 1970's "outdated" style or something "current". I know that wide lapels, elevator shoes, wide belts, bell bottom pants and paisleys are 1970's, narrow ties are 1980's, etc. How do I know if I'm wearing an outdated boot? Are people laughing because I look ridiculous? Are there actual boot trends as far as narrow shafts (I guess they're covered by jeans anyway) or other features which date a boot, or is every variation always in style? How can you tell the age of a boot?
Thank you very much Jeremiah for allowing us the platform to showcase our boot (& belt) offerings to the world! You've accumulated tons of great boot Karma with us and all current boot wearers (and the many thousands of boot users to come). To everyone else out there, we're open for business!!! Thanks to all.
Since I started watching your channel at the beginning of the 2022, I have purchased a total of 24 pairs of boots. 10 have been the Anderson Bean. The rest are a mix of Lucchese, Tecovas, Justin and 1 pair of Chisos. AB fit the best for me. Really enjoy your channel.
Nice to highlight the options than Tecovas in very similar price ranges and US made. Tecova are still being proactive on the marketing which can only be good of the cowboy boot market in general. I am a big fan of the hybrid sole of the Anderson Bean/ Olatha boots.
Man if you can catch a tecovas warehouse sale they have deep discounts. Was in Dallas deep elum this past weekend. I can tell you first hand. $275 boots was $99. Caimem $199 Ostrich$199. My only regret was only having enough for only the Ostrich and caiman.
" Hi Jeremiah, I think you are by far the best at explaining cowboy boot models for the most well-known and worn brands like Dan Post, Nocona and more but we also think of J.Chrisholm boots and many others. "Others that few know! It's like Roper's boots! Hats off man, you're the best and a real fan! Above all, don't change anything! Long live cowboy boots even if some hurt your feet but that's the cowboy boots, we only love them for that because the cowboy boot is something, it's just Magic!"
Glad I found this video. I have a pair of Tecovas Doc’s and I love them. I was about to buy the Cartwright in black but I sprung for the Cowtown Bullhide with round toe at Tim’s with your promo for $204. I hope they fit well!
I have two pair of COWTOWN Boots. One is a round toe pair of Black Bullhide boots with riding heels and the tag reads "COWTOWN BOOTS Made in USA." The second pair is a Black Bullhide Super Roper style boot with a tag that reads "Hand Made In Mexico By COWTOWN Boots." Both pair were purchased from the Cowtown Boots outlet store in El Paso, TX circa early 1990's.
Thanks so much for doing this video, Jeremiah. If I can do anything to help keep our people employed, I’d be happy to do so. My preference is Made in the USA.. how could you not with cowboy boots!! I appreciate finding out about all the other boot manufacturers. Enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work.
Ive been watching your videos on boots for awhile now and wondered if the brand Durango has crossed paths with you and if so, could you review some in the future like their Rebel Pro Acorn pair?
Fantastic video man, brings the idea that competition stirs innovation! Hopefully Tecovas might pick up on this and implement some more sizes, toe shapes. Maybe even an american line. Who knows if that'll happen, but until then there are always options
If I'm spending 300 to 400, it's absolutely gonna be an American made boot. Another great video. I like tecovas, but I like supporting the American boot maker.
If I'm going to spend 400, I might as well go the extra 100 to get a custom fit. Depending on the style and who you ask you can get a custom fit boot for 500-700 USD.
@@mrmaxcarter2306 Yep. Better because every piece of it is going to be American handmade with the techniques that honestly I'm really afraid will die out within my lifetime. Wilson's is probably the best known of 'em, they make 'em at around 650 on the low cost end, I'm getting one from 'em, then I'm getting a rubber-soled one from BNC boots for 450 for winter, and considering a second from either. Worst part is the wait, Wilson's takes 6-12 months, BNC usually takes only 2-3 months since they're smaller and less taken up.
@@pubcle I don't think it'll die out. There are still people who make samurai swords the way they did centuries ago. It's more of an art form then anything else. There will always be boot makers, even if it becomes more of an art form then it already is. Boots are at least still functional. Swords aren't typical in combat anymore. But people pay a small fortune for a traditionally made sword to display.
@@mrmaxcarter2306 I suppose so, but there are many dead arts out there, and there's very few people still making handmade boots. A lot of the full US makers share some of the same staff between them seasonally, which is one of the reasons it can take so long to get one of these boots. They're honestly worth a lot more than most boots, they can be expected to last 10+ years at least if you resole them.
Not going to lie. Tecovas just look so much better than the neon shafted, odd shaped boots of alot of these alternatives. And they hold up fine to some ranch work/riding. Not to mention convenience and their fast and good customer service
Nice video, you should review the1836 line from Republic Boot Co. These are made in Mexico but they also make custom boots in Houston, TX. The Milam is a nice Boot.
Love your videos. I got your roper boots 1 of 1, numbered 10. Someday if you're in the area of circle b or closer to me Dave's trailer world I'd like to show you them. The water buffalo calf is duper soft, the for is good, BNV makes a nice boot.
They just never fit the same. Probably partly because they are budget boots but a good cobbler can resole a budget boot and still have it fit the same.
Tecovas boots prices are going pretty high now I was looking at there websites and I'm like wow I wonder why there prices are going high my Tecovas Caiman Cole boots were $485 know its $535
I’ll never understand the American obsession with things being made in America. A lot of the time that’s just a tag and products don’t even spend most of the time on American soil. Boots made in Mexico are just as good if not BETTER most of the time. And y’all forget that Texas was a part of Mexico. 😂
Supporting local companies is a good idea, the fact you don't understand means you probably should not be commenting on this topic. If you go to Europe, almost everything you buy there is made in Europe, and even better, usually only comes from the country you are in, and possibly a few neighboring countries. We don't even get our fruits or veggies here in the US from the US, it's honestly pretty sad actually that we have to even import basic things like food from the other side of the globe. Edit: In France, everything you see in the supermarket was grown/raised, and manufactured in France. There are a few exceptions but those are then from either Spain or Italy. Meanwhile the US is significantly larger and almost everything at the store comes from another country. Also the pricing in France is way cheaper too, so it's not even like the food in the US was made cheaper by doing so.
I promise you they look better in person. I own two pairs and they look revolting on the website (caiman belly w574 and python w808) but are beautiful in person. Their full quill ostrich boots and teju lizard boots also look horrible online but are lovely in person. Cowtown needs to hire a new photographer

I am a big fan of the hybrid sole of the Anderson Bean/ Olatha boots.
Yeah man, I loved this video. Fantastic topic and very useful info.
Yeah man, they hybrid sole is really cool!
It's not always about the money. I have 3 pairs of Tecovas, love them all. High quality, leather lined boots. For the price point, you can't go wrong

Cowtown Boots made in El Paso, TX!

Tecovas is an American company...why would they need to make an American line...?
@@konacopia they aren't made in America. They are made in León, Mexico.
Yes, If I'm spending $300-400 on a Cowboy Boot I want it made in USA.
Yeah I'm really gonna cry when my mexican made boots are probably made in the leatherworkong/boot making capital of the world Leon, Mexico 🥲🤣
Nothing wrong with boots made in Leon, Mexico. But yeah, I hear ya
We have a cowtown last I checked in Texas

Can you do a best websites list for cowboy boots in Europe and France ? Cuz it’s so hard to find a good one !!
Jerimiah, can you review some HERITAGE boots. You’d look awesome in the Rhett’s!

i have a pair of cowtown snakeskin python boots
Can u talk more about what went wrong with the Abilene resole?? I was always nervous about taking my boots for resoles.
They just never fit the same. Probably partly because they are budget boots but a good cobbler can resole a budget boot and still have it fit the same.
Double HH boots are made in Pa and are incredible boots
Yes to boots
I like your videos

On which boots?
Why compare Tecova's suede to another brand's roughout suede, when Tecova's makes a roughout suede boot?
Probably didn't wasn't aware
The Dean is hands down the best all day boot. For me the easiest to break in and the most comfortable of all my boots.
My experience with Cowtown is they don't have American made boots. Mostly made in Mexico.
I need a place Boots

I’m glad they are made in Leon. Leon is likely a better place with more experienced boot makers than in the US.
You know, "Made in USA" doesn't mean that an American ever touched the boot. Often times US-made products are made with 100% cheap imported labor.
