Thank you for sharing your old skool journey. I had mine just yesterday and was deciding to get the comfycush( it wasn't in stock)but instead got the pro skate version and glad I got it because I also want a driving shoe that is comfortable also in walks or in the gym. Best shoe ever hahaha

I owned this model but it makes big and bulky especialy from the side

I am having a similar experience with mine. My local redwing store didn’t have the wide fit so I’m squeezing my EE foot in a D boot but I love the look and build quality of these boots.

Are u goin to sell your trek domane sl

If you change your mind and wanna sell it.. lemme know.. i live in woodside, queens.

really solid review

I like how you moved around and not stay in one spot. Very good video overall buddy

The guy goes on and on about the benefits of a 100% wool coat over synthetic blends whilst promoting a blended coat. Projection bias is strong.

You're a brave man

I started following you pretty early on, happy to see you're still going. Enjoy your style. Hope you stick with it and it works out for you.

AE Landon ($240 for BlackFriday) v. Thursday Captrains?

Got a pair for $100 Black Friday deal, happy happy

Ecco all day every day. Black Friday deal $100

I have a Schott NYC leather peacoat that i brought in the Greenwhich Village in the mid 90's the cut is standard US Navy issue and it is heavyweight leather hide. My favorite coat 30 years

If you were wanting to do a short film, where your scenes are wide outdoors and subjects are around 50 metres from the camera, what mic would you suggest to pick up ambient audio from the scene? For example, shooting a sports car scene but from a distance and you want it to sound distant to match the scene for the viewer. The car passing through from left to right and fading out, if you get me?

Thank you so much for this video. Currently with Black Friday both cameras are on sale with only a $50 price point difference. I purchased the ZV1 ii and have been trying to decide if I should return it for the ZV1. I have been combing over videos and thankfully I stumbled upon yours because you answered many of my questions. I decided to keep the ZV1 ii based on the type C charging cable - Micro B was pretty much a deal breaker. After you explained the difference between the features the two camera models had, for me they were very minor and not worth exchanging the camera for the ZV1.

Hello Tom. I have a question. Would you suggest buying a black macallister wintip shoe? I already have black cap toe, semi brogue, wholecut, burgundy, and most of the brown shade in all kinds or style. Thank you.

Good video, Happy Thanksgiving !

Helpful reminder I think many of us needed. Thank you Tom.

Higgins Mill comes in many variations with different soles and leather.

Leather look better in age .. So yes we resole them

Love the vids. If you do sell, what size and where will you list them?

Yes, but jeans and boots don't actually expire if they aren't worn right away, e'en if neigh as disposable as socks. I don't wear jeans as much as some other types of pants, either, but most guys wear out their jeans much more quickly than you or I might. Some e'en has turned t' wearing kilts specifically t' counter this reason!!! Many other things I agree, but I have mentioned elsewhere before likely that often I wait for the sale and my size is already gone, anyway. BUT recently I was going to buy one brand of work boots just to compare them to some other that I have, but then I went to other website and they had similar brand ON SALE for less, so I got those INSTEAD. So I did SPEND money, but also SAVED money since I was going to buy boots already and the other comparison can wait since these were ON SALE now and if they don't fit or seem like total crap, I can still return them and get the other ones later.

Nice review. I appreciate your honest and sensible approach to your review. Its always hard to let a good boot or shoe go. Im in that process now of selling or donating about 5 pairs. All good but iv too many

My father bought me and my 2 brothers a peacoat from a suplus store in downtown DC, probably in late 1960s for ten dollars each. It was warm as hell. I really wish i could have one but aint no way i would pay 300 plus for one. I have a coat that looks like a peacoat, its a "car coat" i picked up at Sams Club on sale about 20 years ago for 38 dollars, 70% wool, 20% nylon, 10% Cashmere. made in Belarus. Its warm as hell, looks close to a peacoat. BTW. I wouldnt worry about the "billowy" look of your peacoat being unbuttoned in a store lol"

Makes so much sense about Black friday deals

I’ve owned the same pair of AE Higgins Mill boots since 2018 and I wear them daily through fall and winter. I got them for around $260 on a Nordstrom sale and I’d consider that money well spent. I haven’t replaced the Dainite soles yet but I may have to soon because I see that the heel lift is starting to let go. If I replaced them I’d likely go for the Grant Stone Diesel boots but I love the way the Higgins Mill broke in so much that I’ll definitely do at least one new sole before moving on.

'the only way to save is by not spending' - simple but important to remember

The point about warmth and wearing cheap cotton athletic socks - that's your issue.

I'm glad someone said it. Despite the very appealing price, these are cheap boots, they are a value boot. I bought three pair, gave one pair away, bought the other two with low expectations. I would not do it again though. Instead of spending $200 save your money and get a quality boot that you will want to wear and gets more comfortable with time. I've also had some quality and sizing problems. TBC is ok as entry level on a budget, but keep looking for that forever boot.

I've been following your HM reviews over the years, good stuff

I got a pair of natural CXL Higgins Mill around d 2017. I wore them everywhere from job sites to office, and did a lot of driving in them as well. Love the boots. The issue I had was the tongue kept slipping. I had a tack stitch added, but it just kept breaking. When we moved last year I donated them. Not being able to get that natural again, I really miss them and I regret getting rid of them. I have replaced with other boots (Alden), but I still miss the HM 😢

I love ecco

Higgins mill also comes with a lugged sole which is MUCH more comfortable, lighter and flexible than the dainite sole.

Great video. You're one tough person riding there. I really enjoyed this thx for sharing.

Outstanding presentation. Thank you for discussing and comparing other boots that are similar to and also alternatives to the AE Higgins Mill boots. The Cole Haan chukka boots caught my attention. I will purchase a pair of these boots for the comfort and stylish look. Thank you again and keep up the great work!

great review. I have the same pair and they are not comfortable without my superfeet inserts. And I have the exact same cap toe AE Landon! My go to dress boot for work and with suits.

I always like that you keep coming back and doing the Higgins Mill reviews. I also like that you've put them through the paces in real world situations. That really adds credibility to your review. I have pair of Higgins Mill boots and I love mine. Mine aren't weatherproof and they aren't the chromexcel. They're just full-grain leather (which I don't see them offering at the moment). Thanks again for the review.

Your review really rocks and I did make a good decision that I didnt sell my B1M for M1 while it launched 🎉😊

What size are you wearing in the Collars and Co?

What size was the Maine Mountain?

thank you sir

Did he just call the Cole haan wingtip shoes in Oxford? Lol wth

Thanks for sharing your insights. Purchased the Overland Jack Frost for all the reasons you mentioned. It is costly but a true case of you get what you pay for....

Dude you sound like a fool. You look cheap and unsophisticated with your placeholders shoes.

Not familiar with them in England, but when i looked them up in same price point as Crockett and Jones and Trickers which are the best a man can get, at this price point

Im super confused why they retired the Dalton also. Sure it needed updating with better broguing. Maybe a commando sole, or JR Soles version. Not to mention its beyond me that AE hasnt teamed up with Whites or Nicks boots and did a collaboration making their design into a PNW rugged version. I mean 15% at minimum are in both camps. I really do hope ABC Mart Japan can buy AE and bring in the original families to restart AE into something better. And bring back sewing to America and whatever else they are doing in the DR using questionable labor...

Are those good in cold weather?

You said that used car for 5k-10k a month Edit your video 😅
