I own two pairs of these, they’re fantastic work boots. That arch support will make your heel sort of fall into place, while pushing up on your arch, taking a lot of pressure off your toe joints and heel. And they’re extremely well constructed. The leather thickness on these are probably close to a whole millimeter thicker than the Thursday Challenger. I had a tough time breaking the Drew’s in but once you’re there, you’re going to love them. Unreal value. Awesome looking boots you’ve got there!
Nice! That’s awesome! I am so glad I decided to get these! I wore them around the house for the rest of yesterday, and it felt like I was walking on clouds, in comparison to my Iron Rangers and the Challengers lol. They really are an unreal value though! I like that they put the fire&ice sole on these. Cause I was slipping on some terrain in the challengers. Thank you for your comment!
The challenger isn’t a true pnw boot. It’s a boot that gives that vibe but they wanted regular wearers to be able to wear it. A regular shoe wearer would HATE wearing pnw boots because of the drop in the sole.
@ Yeah, they really are good lookin’! Just weird with the shape of the heel lol. I get that! My gateway drug was with the Iron Rangers. Then I went into Thursday’s boots, now Drew’s, then soon Whites and Nicks 😂😂😂
They sent me a defective pair, so most of my complaints about the AVERAGE?? one would be that the roughout shaft is pointless unless you are wearing shorts or tuck in your pants or something AND I still could neigh give a proper assessment regarding proper fitting based upon what all happened there. I really don't prefer the roughout toes, either, overall.
You'll also see where the sidewalls of the "Challenger" don't quite meet up the insole or something. Hasn't been an issue yet, but I've only worn them for maybe about 8 hrs so far or something and then switching back t' Carolina "loggers" is almost like sneakers comparatively the weight and such, which is mostly the outsole and heel stack.
I think Drew's is more #4 toe than #3, which I prefer. I just remember it seeming HUGE for the size of my foot, but ne'er got the 2nd one on for proper walk on the rug.

Yeah, that’s why I always used quotation marks whenever referring it as a “PNW” Boot. It is, however, a good entry point to PNW Boots though..
@ yes! Honestly a really good looking boot! And I totally agree a great entry way drug for the PNW obsession 😂

It’s ok. My 5 year old sometimes puts his boots on the wrong feet so it’s totally understandable.
😂
Now you see what I’m saying 😎
For sure man! Might just do a full review on the Drew’s, just to cover some time between now and when I get my White’s.

How did I notice the wrong foot BEFORE ye did? ha ha
Maybe ye should roll up and cuff your pants a bit. Just a thought.
I think if you're getting HEAVY DUTY boots, 10" makes the most sense, anyway. But for almost everything else, I still prefer 8 over 6.
