great video as always. You and rose anvil make the best boot videos on youtube.i appreciate your reviews because you actually kick the tires with them.keep up the great content.
I own both of those boots in steel toe. To me, the Carolinas are a bit more comfortable, but not by much. If Duradero would line the top of that sole like Carolina (and Thorogood), I think they'd be unbeatable. When you consider the quality of Duradero boots, the awesome and unmatched customer service, the free resole, you cannot beat them! I'm a machinist and we are old school manual so my boots get to deal with oil of all types and scrapes and cuts from metal parts and shavings... They get hit from everything! I've got almost three months on my Duraderos so I think at that time, I'll do a review and clean up on those bad boys. Thanks for posting this video!
Nice review, and I probably can agree, if they could maybe put just a bit of something on top (in between) the insole and fiber board? Home run. Great boots, great company. Been wearing them everyday for almost a year now. Still holding up fantastic. I have a pair of Duradero’s steel toes on deck next. Very comfortable around the house, lots of room in the toe box.
well you just sold me on the duradero by showing how wide they are. That is great. I have a carolina and they are a bit on the narrow side so you just sold me on the duadero. Good review.
Their customer service is really good, call them with sizing questions because they do run large. I think this code will get you a few bucks off…JPB50…or it may be JPB50 2
Probably should have mentioned that BOTH boots are 6 inch Moc toe work boots. And I probably should have been more clear...the Duradero’s have 10 months of daily work use. The Carolina’s have roughly a month and a half.
I know that you are a fan of the Red Wing Traction Tred Lite. You’ve said that they are the most comfortable boots you’ve worn. Have you given up on them? Have you ever tried the Red Wing 405? They are similar, but wear longer. I have both boots in this video. The Carolina doesn’t hold up nearly as well as the Duradero. Not even close to the Red Wing. I enjoy your informative videos.
The Traction Tred Lites are probably the most comfortable, right out of the box boots I’ve ever owned. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a pair now, but if I remember they have an amazing amount of arch support…your foot kind of just locks right in. Instant comfort, support, and light weight. All while being super durable and tough. I just hated the way they looked. I know that is subjective, but I didn’t like the look of the nubuck they use and the soles looked like they belonged on moon boots, but man those things are high performance boots. I couldn’t kill those things! My buddy loves them, it’s his go to boot in the winter, but he switches out of them in the summer/spring/fall, and goes with the Duradero. But I’d say the traction tred lites are the best performing, most comfortable boot I’ve ever worn. I just can’t stand the look of them. Never tried the 405, I see them everywhere on people’s feet…they look a lot like the Irish Setter Ashby. I’d try a pair. And I agree on the Carolina, I have had a few issues, but they’re light years better than a Brunt Marin.
Are carolina going to make a pair comparable to the amp because they are the most durable and comfortable boots I've ever worn been wearing Carolina for alot of years not wanting to switch brands
Yes, they currently make their newer version of their amp. I bought a pair last year and returned them within a day. I didn’t like the way the welt looked - the color of it looked light tan, and it just looked too plasticky for me.
