Really enjoying the cowboy boot series! I would love to see Olathe boots in a video; they are the best American made boots I've ever had!
The whole Anderson Bean family would be great to see how one company meets different price points. Horsepower, Olathe, Anderson Bean, and Rios of Mercedes.
@@mathiassmith5667 Agreed. I'm interested in seeing which one is the best value for me
14:19 I agree, I’d love to see inside of a pair of Olathe boots with the rawhide counter.
If I had to get my first cowboy, I think I'd go with Alberta Boot Company. Would love to see those cut in half
Wonder if there's any chance we'll see the 1907's from Red Wing covered this year. I'd also love to see the Irish Setter Wingshooters too.
I have been wearing 1907s daily for about 10 years and love them, only sent them in for resole one time
@@blakeallen8224 just received my pair today and couldn't be more happy. I'd still love to see an in depth overview or comparison between the ones I mentioned and everything we've seen thus far. Thanks for making me feel even better about my purchase.
Been looking for a new pair of roper boots. Went to my local boot store and 90% of the boots they had in stock are square toe, which I am not a fan of. Im gonna try these out thanks for the review.
Square toe is awful
you should do a skate shoe series. i think it would be interesting.
The globe chet 4's the best dam sk8 shoe ever made.
Reviewing a skate shoe would be difficult for a non-skateboader IMO. There's a lot of context that goes into why a material is used here vs. there that a layman would not know. While I think Rose Anvil could def look into the quality of the materials used, that's only half the battle when it comes to skate shoes. The other part is having the skate knowledge to understand why each part of the shoe is reinforced differently, and if it's actually done *well* in the context of skateboarding (which is even more important for longevity)
Remember that skate shoes are coming into contact with sandpaper-like material (griptape), fast concrete, gravel, etc. extremely regularly and so they're made with a very different ethos from what a traditional boot, shoe, etc. is made with. So while I think Rose Anvil could def talk about just the general build quality, I don't know how useful it would be in actually recommending a shoe for it's actual purpose without having a solid background knowledge of skateboarding and where wear-and-tear usually occurs.
@@lerenardroux he knows shoes, if they are well made he will be able to tell.
@@ClaytonWillisMusic I literally just typed up an entire thing explaining why that's only half the battle lol
Understanding material quality and doing cross-sections is one thing but I probably wouldn't lean on a Rose Anvil review for a specialized thing like fencing shoes, just like I probably wouldn't for skate shoes.
Obviously if you don't skate and just wear skate shoes as a casual shoe then it doesn't really matter but that's not what I'm talking about. The best skate shoe reviews are the ones that are done by actual skaters who show about ~1 month of skate wear on them because that's realistically the lifespan of a skate shoe (sometimes shorter or longer depending on how much you're skating or if you're using a ton of shoe goo lol)
@@lerenardroux not sure if it's Weston, but someone on his team skates, at least a little bit. They tested Nike SB's and did a ton of ollie's to see how they held up.
One thing I'd love for you to add is a fit guide, your personal sneaker size compared to the size you order in these different boots. Love all the content and to anybody who hasn't subscribed to rose anvil 2, you definitely should!
I think fit guides are worthless only because everyone has a different shaped foot. I look at reviews and sites on what they say the fit should be, order half size down. Order your normal size, etc and they never seem to be right. All these different lasts shoes are built on makes it difficult to figure out sizing. I’m a 12 in nikes and adidas, 10.5 in heritage or most lug sole boots (almost anything Goodyear welted, 11 in tactical or hiking boot and 11.5 in under armour and new balance. It’s all over the map. 😂
I’d love to see you cut apart the Redwing Supersole 1159’s. I’ve had a pair for 10 years now. They were my first cowboy boot and can easily double as a work boot. They were tough on my heels breaking in but now one of my go to, can wear all day boots.
Thanks Weston, brought back memories of my first cowboy boots; Acme. Had know idea what I was buying, but I liked the look, they fit and they were cheap. Years later when I could afford custom I went with Stewart’s hand made. What a difference!
I live in Tucson where I was lucky enough to thrift a pair of gently used vintage Stewart’s and even though I’m not a big cowboy boot person, I love them. They aren’t super gaudy so they fit in well with other heritage style boots in my collection and are extremely well made from my relatively untrained eye. Would love to see a video on Stewart’s Handmade Boots.
The cowboy boot series is 10/10. Keep it up. Do ranch road boots!
SICK Review - appreciate it man!
Hey Weston, based on your reviews I bought a pair of cowboy boots yesterday with confidence. Dan Posts, kind of a low-mid tier made in China. It was available with a steel toe and a waterproof lining, so my work covered part of the cost.
dan posts are great for around $200, i have several pairs that are made in mexico (presumably Leon) and they’ve lasted me 3-4 years of everyday wear with biweekly conditioning. enjoy your pair!
Thursday just released 3 cowboy boots that it would be awesome to see you review. They are looking pretty good
You’re really doing a great job with the editing. Looks good.
Another trick for getting on a tight pair of boots… cut a long strip from a plastic milk jug. It works as a flexible “shoehorn” but reduces friction between your sock and the boot. Then simply pull the shoehorn out…it’s reusable. Works great
Thanks I didn’t think of that
@@CrashCarson14 it works really well… try it :-)
Last time I was this early, I was single the next day.
Amen brother
Well played Sir
Good God man are you admitting pre marital eye contact with a woman!?
Keeping the trend alive, good for you sir
Rip mate
Dude, you rocks! Clear as crystal....
I chuckled at the Tremors reference, well done :)
Ordered the wedge toe! Excited to see how they are and fit!
Great review I love the tremors reference
great video. Please do a hiking boot series. Limmer's, Danner's mountain light, etc.
Awesome video, keep it up!
Excellent review as always. I would like a review on Anderson Bean cowboy boots! Thank you.
Nice review!
Would also love to see Hondo Boots on here!
I’m loving everything in this channel and I’ve binge watched most of your videos, I noticed you have a lot of motorcycle themed content… How about tearing down a motorcycle boot like a Dainese/Icon/RevIt?
I’d be really interested in seeing how those are constructed!
Interesting that you graded this leather as better than the Tecovas or TLs. Also, I looked them up and they are advertised as having a pigskin liner which I didn't hear you mention.
The Tecovas was also a bison vamp which I believe was missed in the tear down.
He says he wasn’t sure if it was pigskin or calfskin.
I'd love to see one on Rujo Boots, maybe the Vance. Seems like a popular competitor to Tecova so it'd be nice to see a side by side of them as well! Thanks and love the content!
Really enjoyed this Video. Great Review. Very Nice affordable cowboy boots.
You gotta cut some Anderson Beans in half! I have a pair and love them. But would like to see you cut some in half!
These remind me a bit of the PECOS from Redwing. Bought a used pair, barely used but i over stretched them so i got a fresh new pair nd just wore them in till they got comfy. Really like those boots. Obviously no 500+ boot but at 300 bucks im like'em !
Love your videos. You should do the QLTY moc toe and the Milwaukee moc toe boots
You should do a Hondo Boot. Great traditionally made boot.
I agree, ive got a pair of their 8555 coming in next week, their low price point and traditional build make them top tier. Only issue with them is finding a retailer that carries the model you want
i bought a pair of cavenders ostrich boots with kind of a hybrid sole and they are the best work boots ive ever owned. the ostrich is smooth and supple and stretches perfectly. i had a wedge added to the heel before wearing the heel cap off. it keeps my feet from rolling out and has helped my ankles so much. ankles use to hurt all the time before having the little 1/4" wedge added. love the boots though.
oh and the boots were around 350. pretty high for a normal working man but not crazy high
Thanks, I will go look at them and see if i can get them on.
Oh wow, that wedge sole could get me into a pair of cowboy boots - all about as [reasonably] minimal heel rise as I can get. Maybe my next shop/pavement pounding boots?
I'm from Spain and I would totally wear those.
I hope you guys get a chance to review a couple Canadian boots. Boulet and Canada West.
When up a half size like they recommended. TTS Brannock size would have definitely been to small. The shaft is super narrow and difficult to get your foot through but once I got them on I was impressed by how roomy they feel. The synthetic definitely give you some spring to your step and you don’t need a break in other than stretching that a bit.
For reference I’m wearing them along side a pair of Red Wing 866 I just got and there is a world of difference when it comes to break in.
Awesome, always educational! Can you cut the Thursday mavericks next pleaseeee
Values in ascending or descending order for the graphs would be nice
thank you for telling me about rich and tony’s ski trips.
Big skiers over here - in case you didn't know
Really like the Macro images
I like your jacket, reminds me of the Australian army pattern.
Love me some Rhodes boots.
Suggestion. Could you do a breakdown of hunting boot brands such as crispi, danners, Irish setler, etc... More of the modern back country style of hunting and the footwear used... Or a coolant 😂😂😂
Great video! I'd appreciate a video on some Red Wing Pecos. :)
Thank you kindly again
Please keep doing cowboy boots!!!
^^^^ I’ll message you!
SCAM. SCAM. The guy definitely asked the right questions and made it fun up until he asked for options up to $100 dollars to send the shoes. I should have realized if I had just gone straight to the page and there was no content and 2 subscribers. The real @roseanvil would never have asked for anything monetary in return. It’s unfortunate this is how some people waste their life.
Hi Weston. In 1980 I wore Dingo square toed Cowboy Boots, tan in color. The leather at the pinky toe was thin & the leather ripped. The boots cost $100 & lasted almost a year (wore them to high school). The heels were pretty tall thus making the boots pretty uncomfortable.
Roper boots are the only kinds of cowboy boots I love. I have like 4 different pairs of ropers, Dbl H/Justin/Chippewa/Work N Sport.
Another great video. Could you review the John Lofgren Donkey Puncher?
You should review the Double H Dylans! I’ve had a pair for a while now and they have been awesome so far but I’m curious about their construction for the price point. I lucked out and got mine used for a fraction of the price in excellent condition.
I have these boots and they are great for the price. Got them on sale for $50 off. My one gripe is the high arch point. As a flat footed guy it took about 2 weeks to get use to it. I have many different types of boots but this was the first one I had that issue lol
Would be great to see how the redwing pecos stacks up to this. Specifically the 866.
Would like to see some of the timberland step propel you could even do a set of mock toes for moctober
These boots are probably better than most boots you have given us to look at👍🏻🇬🇧
You should do a chart on which cowboy boots are channel stitched welted and which boots use canvas gemming. It's an important decision for some when picking cowboy boots.
Some argue neither method is better or worse than the other but some people have a really strong preference that channel stitched goodyear welt. Curious to see which boots are which.
Love the graboid reference
Would really like to see Red Wings 11in Nailseat boots next!
That jacket is so nice, dude. Where did you get it/what brand is it?
you should do a combat boot series. start with some basic Belleville 533s. they cant seem to make a straight pair.
Can you do Nocona boots one day kind sir? Love your videos. Thank you and great job
Please do a review on the new Thursday Boots western line!
You ought to have a look at Dan Post boots! I love mine
I'd still like to see a series on hiking boots.
Vasque, Mamut, Scarpa, La Sportiva, Merrell, Asolo, Lowa, Danner, etc.
I went with the Tecovas, but I also didn't see this video before buying them. I wanted some Rios of Mercedes but they didn't have my size in the ones I wanted. The Chisos seem like the best bang for the buck, but for a first cowboy boot it's hard to justify almost $600
Wesco Morrison has to be the most well built and boldest western boot I have ever seen. Please review this.
Please if you could do a review of Whites Hill yard Boot 8 inch that would be amazing!
I bought a pair about 6 months ago and they are awesome all around versatile boot for a better price around $330.
They need a review for sure
Hey rose, do you think you could use meat glue to put these boots back together? I’d love to see videos of you trying things to get them back together.
Nice review, can you do one review like this on Anderson bean and Rios of Mercedez, please 🙏
Whatever happened to that wallet series you did? That was good stuff
I’d like to see Olathe and Hondo boots!!
It's a damn good looking boot too
Love the Tremors reference
It would be nice to see Nocona and Olathe.
And, once again, I urge you to try Sendra from Spain
Dissect a Double H boot! They are an interesting outsole and I would like to know how exactly they are built
I would really like to see a video about Red Wing Pecos.
There may be some thing to nitpick, but at that price point this is a strong showing.
Cardboard sandwiching the shank is quite typical, often seen in older mid-range dress shoes, and it can last quote a while if it doesn‘t get wet (wouldn‘t like to see it on a work or hiking boot, on these it should be fine).
The recycled material looks interesting, no idea how that would hold up though.
Hi Rose!
I need you to cut some Sendra boots. I am from Spain and those are probably the best cowboy boots I can buy in my country, so go ahead 😂😂
Would love you to review and cut Cavenders brand JRC and Sons to continue the cowboy boot series.
You should get a pair of heritage boots! They have the best designed cowboy boots I’ve ever seen.
Great series! Will you do a set of J.B Dillon boots? Seem decently made but I want to know what they really offer considering you can often find them priced at $250+ but you buy one pair and get two free.
I hope he does them too, but from mine it’s a fiberboard insole, topped with poron and leather. The lining leather seems similar to these as well, and definitely feels better than other boots I’ve seen. I’m happy with mine and they break in decent quick and easy
A great boot I think you should try is the RRL Leather Walker boot, it's not cheap by any means but I wonder how good of a boot Ralph Lauren makes.
A graph for leather thickness for moctoe boots would be awesome too
Please do Black Jack boots!!
Are you going to be doing the thursday western boots?
Do a review on cuadra boots
Growing up I have always aspired to be like Bert.
Wish Wes would’ve shown him wearing the wedge sole Roper. I’ve been eyeballing that for about a year in the same color. I used to wear an Ariat Workhog while at work & while it was comfy under foot, the shaft could be annoying. I’m no longer in the field and I now own a pair of the Tecovas Roy & trying to get used to the feel of them.
Man I like the wedge sole, good price too and great color
How about cutting and reviewing some Dan Post , Laredo, and Corral !
I would love another review on the reasonably priced Thomas Cook boots from Australia, they have Chelsea boots and cowboy style boots and they are competing in a similar space to ariat and rm Williams
When we get to Christmas we better see a look at a Santa's boot lol
See how old Saint Nicks foot huggers compare to other boots 😄
Please do Boulet cowboy boots next.
Please do Boulet boots! Cowboy or just normal work boots like the 8973 !!
I remember when Justin Ropers was all the rage.. It was Garth Brooks I can specifically remember "Friends in Low Places" hit big in Dallas.. Every teen would starch their britches, wear felt hats even summertime, got some Justin's, the whole package.. I mean hey whatever works but you could immediately tell "the country boys like us" and the "urban Ropers we called em"
That cut was centered to gold medal standards.
Can you do a video about detailed B.O.M. ? I would like to know what is the most expensive piece of the pie.
Paraboot for moctober would also be great!!
I have a pair of cowboy boots my ex-in-laws got me in 1986 or 1987 from Mexico they paid $25 in cash for them. If I didn't still wear them it would be fun to have you cut them up. Maybe next time the ex calls me I will get irritated enough to send them to you guys, lol. Boots are amazingly comfortable, I wore them attempting to dance many times years ago, just a comfortable boot. I probably wear them 40-60 times a year depending on where I am, never wear them in snow as they are bad on ice. Some of the other boots I have had lasted a few years these really have done well.
for this series you should get a pair of CODY JAMES MEN'S DIESEL WESTERN BOOTS - WIDE SQUARE TOE. They are very affordable (on sale at boot barn for $123) and look like they might be made pretty well, but there is only one way to find out.
