No way is that Sgt Ari from Marine boot camp? Damn she really loves her job for sure

[@Modlawls123]

Yep, I saw her in a marine boot camp video

[@youngfella6910]

Ain't no slacker mate

[@anthonyramirez1182]

Modlawls123 which video sirrr

[@kpopfan3337]

She’s hot.

[@baron7755]

how can you say "no way" when you are seeing her on the video?

[@TripleE15214]

That girl she was screaming at in the beginning sounded like a bird and I can’t Unhear it.

[@bradenthacker6226]

fr fr it was like squealing

[@JesusForgivesSins]

🤣😂

[@robertisham5279]

That is why they shouldn't be in the military it's cringeworthy.

[@lorenzobruschetta9919]

Damn yeah, two chickens screaming. I’d probably laugh loud af and end up cleaning toilets...then do it again😂

Big thanks to Ridge wallets for supporting creators like me and helping me produce this video! Check them out if you'd like! www.ridgewallet.com/alexander

[@LauraZorza]

Most comfortable boots I wore were the tan Rocky S2V Tactical boots; cost = $237 when I was attached to Coastal Riverine 👍

[@AustenAlexander]

Agreed! I wore them when I first got to Seal Beach but they weren’t in regulation with my command 😭

[@jonasbaclig7197]

Navy + Marines = Brothers 🤘🤘🤘 and those boots are dope as hell

[@markusschaffer9712]

Love my Boulet Hot Weather combat boots. Fit right out of the box, well made and does what I need them to do. Comfortable for going rucking,no matter the terrain.

[@AustenAlexander]

first lol gotcha

[@ta1494]

Nice

[@courtalton]

hahaha

[@avabarnett923]

hi how are ya, is boot camp scary. me and my friend want to join the navy, why i sound like im twelve... because i am, i need advice ;)

[@avabarnett923]

please reply and have a nice day.. or night

[@berisha1297]

Will ariana post a video, cause we're waiting for her too?

[@jaypusley4215]

DANNNNGGG! So she is also the sgt. from Michelle’s 3 day marine corp challenge !

[@discolatedtoe7180]

Really?!?

[@jaypusley4215]

Yeah

[@bellagreenhill3617]

So no one‘s gonna talk about how he said that wallets have flavors 😂

[@JohanCody]

Bates Lites were my favorite boots. They were amazing at Assault Climber school, felt like I was climbing in tennis shoes instead of combat boots.

[@keaghanwilliams4819]

The Sabres are my absolute favorite boot to wear when I'm not on board the ship. So comfortable. They are like sneakers man

[@lilyrundle9688]

Yay Austin is finally back❤ you have been missed 💙

[@troxeljeremy]

I use the Rocky sv2s, most comfortable boots I've used in the navy.

[@thelando3698]

I have the Danner Tanicus and I love them a lot. I machine, weld, and do military things(garrison and field) in them, very durable and light

[@nsatoday]

The Belleville’s are awesome. The Bates you had are a copy of the Belleville 800-880 pattern. As an Army guy, who joined in ‘01 the 800’s are a bit lighter than the issue combat boots back then. So the weight thing is, you get used to it

[@nathaliepitogo8076]

eyyy! two of my favorite ❤❤❤ i love all your vlogs 💪💪💪

[@eduardolimaargimon5499]

I wish we had something like the bates USMC steel toe boot here in Brazil, would be an evolution of the jungle boot that we still use, the comfort would be similar 5 to 6 out of 10. But the problem is, we have a lot of chances of twisting our ankle.

[@ohnenamen2843]

The best combat boots are For hot weather: the Haix Airpower P9 For European climate the Haix scout

[@avabarnett923]

thanks for all the helpful advice :)

[@mikeyblalock78]

I love my RAT boots. Best boot I’ve ever worn. I’m on my 4th pair. Can’t beat them.

[@rbriseno8756]

I'm a civilian, and I have no idea how you showed up on my YT feed, since I tend to watch vids like Conan, Jim Gaffigan, and I Am Puma...but I am so glad I watched one of your vids because now I have binged-watched quite a few! Interesting topics, and I have enjoyed watching all the great competition between the men and women. Ari is my favorite guest so far-- I mean come on...she pulled a TRUCK!! I would like to see more vids about the Navy water/swimming tests (my apologies if I didnt use correct terminology).

[@MichaelSewgoolam]

I use the Rocky's S2V, by far the most durable and comfortable boots by far. You can get 1000 miles off them even with rucking, and it still serves.

[@berisha1297]

I was thinking when are you going to post a video!!!!. You're back.

[@Daniel14556]

Yesssss, I've been waiting for this👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌

[@AustenAlexander]

More to come!

[@StevenAcunaBG05]

I just got the reckoning. I was issued a pair of RAT boots in boot camp (2016). They held up very well but by now they were well overdue for a replacement. I would say i got 3 solid years from my RAT boots. These reckonings feel like im just wearing socks compared to my RATs. Definitely will be better for PT, but i want to see how they are on a ruck hike.

[@jerryforeman4543]

Interesting topic! Boy are those boots expensive! Thanks for sharing!

[@dayonemyers3645]

Those bates will have you going through it on the flight deck man !!

[@Eterna1Sky]

for my boots I wear in the Air Force I wear the Corcoran Marauder steel toe boots, hella light (for steel toes) flexible and comfortable

[@1malikalik]

I was looking for the Corcoran fan boys. I agree, Corcoran Marauder with Nylon and Leather uppers are great are derived from the 100% Leather Corcoran 1525 Combat Boots.

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

Thanks for your service

[@daltonturney9908]

Yes Austin is back

[@AustenAlexander]

i'm back and have three videos on deck ready to go!

[@evatirador2164]

good luck...

[@remymorris3591]

Best boots are rocky's S2V and they're in navy regs.

[@dougtheeliminator1077]

Old school Army here. Corcoran jump boots were the best.

[@Liam1991]

Alt-Berg does some great boots!

[@yoonseri7061]

Happy to see you Austin Love ur voice ☺️😁

[@lifeofexplorerwithmra3108]

Cool topic you've chosen

[@JulianKlimczyk]

I hated the issued Bates, mine got destroyed during the Crucible just from swimming in muddy water. I bought the Reckonings and they seem good so far

[@user-cm9ij5cz3c]

She's one of my favourite collabers - great chick

[@Mccormickish69]

The RAT boots were awful in boot camp. Contributed to a lot of injuries when the plastics would break out of the heel. I had to get mine exchanged twice.

[@matthewdickson7838]

Excellent video and boot reviews i have lowa desert elite pretty good boots ..

[@abdalabinladen]

Thank Goodness KZbin isn't SmellTube yet hahaha. Cheers! Fun to watch!

[@MrGamercom]

I'm chilling in my lowas tbh, my entire unit wears either Lowas, Salomons, or rockys, best boots for our job

[@Karl37112]

German Infantry guy here 🤙🏼 As a guy who is used to wear mountaineering style boots, i feel like US style boots (Danners, Bates, Belleville etc.) have little to no ankle stability/protection. With all the things i did, had i worn 'american style' boots, i would probably be in a wheelchair by now xD

[@alizarkami6187]

What brands are the mountaineering boots you used?

[@Karl37112]

@@alizarkami6187 European brands like Meindl, Haix and Hanwag. Salomon and Merrell MOAB are also known here.

[@onioni03]

Did she say go to the pediatrician? Hahahaha. Awesome informative video Ari and Austen! I'll stick with my Rocky boots! Easy to polish and lasts for a solid 2 years!

[@lr4189]

I guess she meant podiatrist.

[@onioni03]

@@lr4189 I think she did too. But I love my military peeps. ❤️❤️

[@lr4189]

It was an honest mistake. It’s all ❤️!

[@frankcastle3827]

I like heavy boots a lot more than light weight boots.... So I pick the Navy flight deck boots and the USMC bates cold weather boots!

[@avabarnett923]

post more vids, they are gooooddd

[@celinee7419]

Wow i love this Boots from army 🥰🏋️ thanks for this informations 💃🏋️🙏

[@Fairview104]

Great video. So the Navy lets you wear either black or brown boots?

[@oliverallen5324]

If you’ve had boots that lasted 8 years, you haven’t been doing anything.

[@dominicanguy9117]

She said those were the worse boots she has so she doesn’t wear them that’s prolly why they lasted so long

[@UnicornDecapitator]

I had the israeli version of the bates, I served for almost 3 years and had to change my boot after a year and half and the sole was 100% smooth and on my second pair same thing and the sole broke in half lol

[@christookthis80]

sorry but the flight deck boots is top tier. they are comfortable and they look so clean in uniform plus the shine on the tip of the boot adds to it. highly recommend them!

[@1o1opanda-74]

Wow, I go through a pair of boots like in under a year or 2.

[@SpecJack15]

Thoughts on Altamas or Rocky boots?

[@Legionnaire7777]

Altberg, Akus, Iturris. Meindl, Haix, Karrimor SF, best boots.

[@Ryuzaki14YT]

Those are the boots Minotaur and some other operators wear in modern Warfare the last pair from Austen I mean

[@corporaterobotslave400]

I usually buy Danner. My hunting boots - ripped out one of the webbing hooks that hold the string. I have Tachyons, too, but they're a bit too light for support for rucking. I'm leaning heavily toward Reckoning. I had to return the Danner Fullbore b/c it didn't fit well. What is your update review for abuse on those Danner Scorch?

[@Skietles]

4:21 LOL "flavors"

[@ellarahilly4397]

Austen you are so good at what you do! and thank you so much for your service as well! I'm thinking of going into the army after college! Do you recommend joining before or after going to college? Also I heard the military pays for college too can that also work if you go to college first then military after? I'd love if you can respond!

[@AustenAlexander]

Thank you very much! Yes, the military will pay for college as long as you have all of your qualifications. If you are paying for college out of pocket or Taking out loans, I highly recommend joining the military first then pursuing your degree. If you have a scholarship or if someone else is paying for you, I would probably go to college first to earn a degree and then commission in the military to become an officer. Hope this helps!

[@texicojo9275]

Any advice on boots to buy to prepare your feet for boot camp?

[@Etzki1]

Please check ALTAMA , black jungle boots with Panama outsole

[@paullee205]

I being a vet expect my boots to do for me, so double stitch, full arch guard, breathable, comfort interior and soles must be of strong material.

[@Waddlejpg]

Any brands you'd recommend?

[@TheMFStudios]

Which would you recommend for law enforcement?

[@solo5603]

Steel toe just helps from lumps on concrete landing on your toe when a explosion goes off

[@anthonyschroepfer5776]

If there are flying fragments of concrete, then protecting your toes will be the least of your worries.

[@lanwickum]

kenetrek, not cheap, great boot. very deep tread. heavy at 4lbs. I am 260lbs. The 4lbs is not bad. They give the support for all my weight.

[@quicksmilenathan103]

My favorite military dude

[@AustenAlexander]

haha thank you

[@aaroncash4757]

You know you’ve made it when your wallet comes with a screwdriver

[@ticonice1745]

Every time the young hen, Says this ones take a drink 😋

[@applesaucer2442]

I know it's probably been said before. HOWEVER, you legitimately look like Chris Evans and you fit the role of Captain America.

[@stevenjoanelvelez7019]

I don’t think the Danner are authorized NWU 3 If they are I can’t seem to find the instruction

[@shadyslims4006]

Man the Bellville boots I got from basic are the absolute worst boots I've ever worn I recently got a pair of their tactical research brown boots and they are so much more comfortable and durable

[@notactuallytesco]

Howey this is proper mint like

[@dogbone4444]

I need a small loop r ring clip on boot(s) to hang enemy's ears,,, vs, a necklace.

[@NotoriouslyNature]

Austin which boots are your favorite?

[@giahndiaz8096]

Try the Oakley si light patrol boots

[@Dan-di9jd]

I had a Bates 922 and wore them a lot before the pandemic. Then the pandemic hit and it sat for about 4 months. When I went to look at it the soles look like they melted. Really unhappy.

[@tomasperez7831]

Are the size different as normal sizes

[@CarlosPerez-su6hd]

Do you know where I can find a pair or electric hazard military boots for work?

[@itslife9855]

Military boots suffer from low quality, thus the lighter the boot, the higher quality material is needed. Nicks 24 ounce tactikewl boot is $550 for that reason. Thus you can only get Mid quality prices for mid quality boots

[@onanysundrymule3144]

Do you have to buy and pay for your own footwear in the military? Kind regards.

[@bigali2783]

Idk if you can answer this or anyone but can you be an officer in the navy if ur a dual citizen? Being a navy pilots my dream but that may not happen :/

[@azwinbohara]

Ari’s beauty with the beast

[@omarmunir5954]

And she has flat feet

[@ericlakota6512]

Danner makes good boot im going to look into a pair like she has vibrim soles are made next town over

[@Cali_90s]

Guess I'm keeping my boots.

[@WehrmachtKradschutzen]

I like my danner composite toe boots those are comfy af and only $179

[@britneygoddess7697]

Yaaas Aiirrr you beeast, Allleex u too🤙🤘

[@picejumbo]

I love her!!

[@goodbyeseeyalater]

I want to get a pair of Rothco Combat boots non steel toe. But Im worry about that California Prop 65 Warning. Should I be worried or is that a load of BS??

[@woof3598]

finding the these boots in EEE is impossible, does not want extra wide ?

[@ceuser3555]

How about Marine Expeditionary boots?

[@m.jenkins8503]

What about altma boots for the military?

[@motowerkz3678]

All take orders from ari any day;-)

[@guard213]

Is there a difference between male vs female [combat] boots

[@thestateofreal2533]

Leave it up to a marine DI to say I want these boots to be light like these but put steel tone in them 🤣 #represent

[@CptSnow-wx6np]

Danner USMC Rat the non steel toe but still hard. That's composite toe, pretty much just shittier steel toe.

[@v9237]

Let me end this here: Rocky S2V for military and first responders! Best boots ever!

[@megan8812]

If anyone has the Nike boots what would y’all say about those?

[@_jay51]

Best boot ever, if you're looking for comfort. I put them through tough terrain and they hold up pretty good too. They are way better than the oakley boots. You can run in Mikey boots for days, very close to feeling like a tennis shoe. Runs true to size.

[@Zach-sv7ej]

i got the sabre boots a year ago and the soles broke in half

[@hugogomez2733]

what about 511speed 3.0 rapd-dry boots? are good or bad?

[@MrColombia12]

"Socks too" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
