Thinking about getting a pair!

What are the two other boots you pulled out?

Can one train in these and do daily training like sprints and shadow boxing in them?

It did have the storm king soles

Glad to hear your a Christian im picking these up for the purpose to wear to church in the harsh winter months

I own the 3191 and 3194, love both...super comfortable and chunky looking. I prefer the chunky look over some dainty english Chelsea boots....just saying//troutbumandsam

Is it necessary for a boot to get a boot tree instead of a shoe tree?

I want to use shoe trees, and I've tried some but returned them because it seems they would put a lot of tension/pressure on the back of the shoe/boot and I didn't want them to ruin the inside construction because of the significant pressing into the materials. I guess I need to try something else that might work better.

I don’t think you are going off on a tangent. I like boots just like you do but staying healthy is even more important.

Brainwashed is what I meant to spell.

Thanks for sharing that you are a Christian. That is powerful and you are in the minority of those doing that in these platforms. I am a Christian and I want to share with you if you don’t already know that we live on a flat stationary plain as described in the Bible and not on a spinning ball planet as we have been brandished and falsely taught our whole lives.

Super video. I had some Rossi boots many years ago and they didn’t seem to hold up any longer than some Blundstones I had later.

I think south Africans have wider feet on average. JG boots lasting was made wider due to other work and hiking boots were often complained about being narrow and tight so JG made their boots wider for more comfort.

The only way to never experience the painful loss of a pet is to never meet them to begin with and, therefore, never have them in our lives. Considering those two different possible scenarios has gotten me through some very painful losses -- the very real pain I was feeling was because I was fortunate enough to have that pet in my life. Your dog was a very happy dog -- you were both fortunate to have one another for the time you did. So very sorry for your loss; I know how much it hurts.

Sorry to hear about your great friend passing on. It hurts so much but you will always remember him.

Thoughts and prayers are with you brother , losing a great dog is really hard.

All ticks are no joke. Check yourself carefully after being outdoors for awhile. I discovered I had one on my leg last night got it off crushed and saved it. Use DEET if you know ticks are common. Blacklegged ticks are the real deal culprit, they are black torso with a rear amber color festoon. Lone star ticks are very common where I live and not supposed to carry Lyme, but the similar Borrelia that cause TBRF. type symptoms. Wood ticks are apparently (the dog tick) do not carry Lymes Also it to note our dog died of what was thought of as Encephalitis in a 2 week span after walking it near a horse farm...it can be transferred to dogs and mis diagnosed as Lymes. Maybe it was Lymes but we will never know, it was a pretty bad decline that happened fast.

Sorry to hear that, always hard to lose a dog. All the best from Germany.

Sure would have been beneficial to your viewers if you actually put the shoes on an walked then comment on feel

I’m so sorry Charles, I can imagine how hard it is. My dog is 13 now and that moment is coming little by little…. Just remember all the good memories and you know the good life he had with you both, the 3 of you are lucky for having shared all those experiences!! Huge hug from Spain.

I know how hard that can be. I had to have our Cocker Spaniel put down because she was having convulsions every time she got up. We had 14 good years with her.

I’m srry man I don’t even know the dog and I feel ya.

My dog has cancer. Absolutely shattered. Take care, man. Remember all the good times and know you did the best you could for him.

We are so sorry. We will miss Indy too. So proud of you and Jolene, you are so strong in the faith. God bless you.

Bless you and your wonderful friend!!!

This is so hard. You and Jolene are such an inspiration on faith. Press into the Lord. God bless and hope you have the greatest peace ever.

Bless your heart. We lost our beloved Golden 8 years ago and it is devastating. I always remind myself how grateful to have such a precious soul in my life. Bless you.

This was hard to watch. Lyme Disease is horrible i've had it for years. It has affected my kidneys as well. Im currently undergoing a treatment through a Lyme Specialist & its rough. I do the best I can to protect and prevent my Blue Heeler and Pug from ever getting it.

That’s hard! I’m so sorry brother. Never gets easier.

So sorry for your loss. One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do was saying goodbye to my best friend Charlie our Golden. I know the heart ache you’re going through. 🙏

Anyone know or have a honest opinion about “Drew’s boots”

Thanks for the review. There's no shank in your Redback boots, so that may be one reason it flexed so much when you were using the shovel.

I also wonder about the sizing... you said you measure size 12, but you ordered a size 11-1/2. WHY? How do they fit? Large, Small, or just right? How do Georgia boots normally fit? I'd like to know before I order a pair. Thanks.

Great video. Not a lot of Chaco review videos out there and this is exactly the information I was looking for. I’m due for a new pair after 15 years. Honestly it’s crazy to me that these lasted so long. As I have gotten older my feet have gotten wider and I’m going to try a wide width on my next pair. I noticed in the comments above you said your new ones don’t feel quite as good and the video you say you went up from a 12 to a 13. I used to fit and sell shoes and I noticed watching you walk in them they looked just a tad big on you and so I was wondering if have tried a 12W in comparison to the 13? If not it might be worth comparing on the next pair you buy. Anyhow thanks for putting this vid together.

I never thought of those for hiking, but they're kind of perfect for almost all conditions. Biggest issue I've had hiking/working in typical leather PNW boots is heat and sweat. They're next on my list for sure! Thanks for the video.

Nice video! Can I ask what that wedge sole is like on wet surfaces? I'm thinking of the black Chelsea as a rainy day boot, but I'm worried about the traction. I don't need to walk through puddles, just surface moisture, but it'll be concrete, tile, pavement grass, etc. Likely very little mud, but I'm curious about that too if you have any experiences in that regard. Thanks!

I like the higher waist

Roughout and suede are not the same thing....

Great review mate, I think the natural leather with frog sole will be my next boot!

My pair fell apart in less than six months of wear. The stitching blew out on the outer toe area near the flag, leaving a small but noticeable hole in the leather that will only further deteriorate with time. For boots that were supposed to be "built to last," that was pretty disappointing. And I'll never buy another pair. I contacted Thorogood about their 1-year warranty, and they charged me $15 to ship them back for an "inspection". Only for them to just return them back almost a month later in the same condition without any further explanation or correspondance. I've since switched to White's Perry Selects at a similar price, and they are way more comfortable and better built. The Thorogood's, in comparison, are like a cheap knock off you'd find at Walmart. There's a lot of hype around Thorogood boots, but there are much better options out there at the same price point.

Amazing review!

Make a video of you pooping in a thirsday boot.freindo

Wow! 100 video already…. I don’t like these much, it’s like Timberlands … Cheers buddy!

Are they waterproof? Can you walk thru puddles?

Um, I've gotten to the point where I think they should stop cutting the corners if they're going to say they're the BEST BOOT ever and all that stuff. I feel like I finally got the sizing OK since I don't need anything too wide, but they still botched a bunch of my order and took forever for refunds and things. And they spend way too much time catering to urban use IMO, since I think that ship is largely sailing or whatever... [Urban customers who want MORE rugged stuff than just stuff that LOOKS rugged the more accurate trend?] BUT then I thought I would use the OT for a hiking boot and don't think it will have enough arch support for anything really serious now, but a bit more snake protection than the Captain ones that I was using for short excursions in the cooler months or whatever. I was a bit disappointed to return the "logger" version, but they are basically the same thing as the Hero with just two inches taller, so nothing too extreme or whatever.

Good looking boots, but my jk OT are my new hiking boot, and not giving that up

I think the Explorers are the best looking line from Thursday. I love the industrial looking hardware eyelets and speed-hooks.

I had these but omg theyre so narrow

Yeah, I need a 3E in Thursday to even consider them (been down that road). I am happy with what I do have in wide variants though. Nice review but unless I can get a wide version it isn't for me. As an aside, have you tried their sneakers? I've been curious about those. Thanks for the review, as always!

I wish they did a gussetter tounge and then it would be nice. And fongrats on your 100th video i just got my new nicks today. Ordered them six months ago haha
