I recommend Ariat Heritage Roughstock. The most bomb proof boots I ever bought. 6 years and still going strong. Trust me. They're great for all purpose use.

[@monkeysee420]

I second this I've had mine for a few years now and have worn them everyday and I was destroying boots in a year no problem before these ones seem to be really good

[@stevenbyars3384]

Ariat has been my go-to boot for the last 20 years. The caveat for how long any brand of boot lasts is how often you apply some sort of conditioner. Most of my boots last 2-3 years here on the Honey Do Ranch, we raise cattle and horses, and I am in them all day from early spring to first snowfall.

[@nathonminor371]

steven byars I'm still wearing a pair of 2011 model Ariats. They've had spurs on em, been in the stirrups, operating equipment, even hiked all over these Smokey Mtns in em. They are amazing

[@richardbates2367]

Yeah I would suggest conditioning twice a year if I had a KZbin channel I could show people what happens when you don't condition them but honestly even with the very soft worn and cracked leather only two small holes in one boot and one is more like a small slit than a little smaller than a dime size hole still impressive for almost 8 years old boots double h oak ice Dylan work boots and I'll probably replace them with the same thing except steel toe

[@thedestroyer9512]

I hope you know that you can have boots resoled and reheeled when you wear a hole i the sole or walk too much off the heel. Moreover they wear out faster if they don't fit properly. Lastly you need to oil your boots about once a week to increase longevity, including the sole. I have family who have had the same western boots with leather soles for 2-3 years. When you buy cowboy boots you get what you pay for. Good boots are about $200 and excellent boots that last a long time are $450. I have a lot of experience wearing boots and am very hard on them. I have worn out tony llamas and Justins in three months oiling the twice a week. Cheap boots like laredo and such i wear out in a month. Hope this is helpful!

[@ttice5068]

Yeah, overlooking that torpedo'd the credibility of the video - farmer, homesteader or whatever aside. Resoling is basic knowledge, basic maintenance and can't be attributed as a con.

[@wilsjane]

I remember the time that a few guys wore rubber soled boots when we were burning the stubble. As soon as we started beating the fire back and the ground was thick with glowing embers, the rubber started melting and catching alight. With embers underfoot, they ended up trying to rub the burning rubber out against the legs of their jeans. It was so funny to watch.

[@derrickrobertson3334]

10+years on my Pecos. Resoled em once, probably again soon.

[@shawnglass108]

@@ttice5068 , Not all boots can be resoled. Many of the cheaper ones are glued. Not welted but, if other parts of the boots are breaking down as well, there is no sense in having it resoled. That’s why you should pay attention and buy good quality boots.

[@rafaelmccloud8406]

I’m in hvac along with yard work and I’m trying to buy a pair of boots, so far the only two I’ve been told is either Justin’s or rocky. I work in rain hot summer roofs all the way to muddy dirt. I bought a pair of Durango’s and timberlands along with wolverines and they gave out on me within a year. But it looks like rocky are going to be the choice to go with, everyone has the same results. So thank you for the review!! Helps a lot.

[@st.schochko9822]

Like others have said, Double H with the ice sole cannot be beaten. The ice sole is far and away the best wearing sole money can buy. The boots are well worth the asking price (often on sale) and American made with full grain leathers. Both the folklore and bison leathers are very nice and very durable.

[@MoMan.88]

Redwing Pecos are a great western style work boot that last forever but are expensive, another far cheaper option but still great comfort and quality are the Durango Rebel boots, I have both I wear my redwings for my job and the Durangos for working around the property, hunting, fishing and whatever other activities I get into outside.

[@YanasaTV]

I have some buddies in construction that like wearing Durangos so I’m sure they hold up pretty good

[@jumper780]

Here on a ranch in Central Texas, I've learned that lace ups are what works. Rocky Hill country, getting in and out of the tractor, fencing, clearing brush etc. Without laces, your not going to get the ankle support. When the weather is wet, I keep a set of Muck Cool Chores on hand. All of my other pull style boots are for when I head into town or errands etc.

[@YanasaTV]

I suppose it depends on the work you are doing. I typically feel like I have plenty of support in the Rockies but lace ups might be better for some things.

[@mjp5429]

I agree

[@brandonhaley6913]

If you haven't yet, try obenhaufs on your leather/cowboy boots, I've been wearing cowboy boots through minnesota winters for probably my whole life and as long as I can remember my dad had me put it on my boots and my feet have never truly been wet

[@kolinmartz]

I have a Nick’s builder pro. I’ve used mine for doing everything. Lasts forever. Rebuildable.

[@cuauhtemochernandez296]

I’ve lived on a ranch for my entire life, I always had 2 boots on hand, I had my cowboy boots with the nice leather outsole to do ‘cowboy stuff’ which I really didnt do because it just wasn’t my thing, I was always a maintenance type guy, I liked making stuff and fixing tractors so I had a nice pair of lace up boots with a big tread on the sole and water proof lining with insulation for the cold. I prefer wearing lace ups for ranch work instead of my cowboy boots just because they last longer and it doesn’t matter if the tread starts to wear out

[@average2savage1]

Any recommendations for lace-up boots?

[@somethingsomethingusername802]

@@average2savage1 Late reply but I personally like the Danner Fort Lewis model of boot. 200G Insulated, Goretex, Full Grain Leather, etc. Great for when the weather takes a turn. Bit pricey but these boots will likely last me half a lifetime, at least. Danner also offers "recrafting" services like leather care or restitching. Haven't had to do any of that yet but it's nice to have it on the back burner just in case. When it comes to general work in the Cold or Wet, those are my go to. If I'm doing something where insulation isn't necessary, or my toes might get smooshed, the Ariat Workhogs are on standby with a composite toe. Got three pairs for different jobs. Danners for Cold/Wet work, Ariats for more 3 Season chores, and a pair of Ranch Road Capistrano's for riding and everything in between. Lot of times there's crossover and/or I just don't feel like swapping boots. Just depends on what I'm doing, and when I'm doing it.

[@gsdlvr123]

Nice video - our family owns a small horse farm on a river - raised/raising our 3 kids (ages 16, 18 and 19) there...the Muck riding boots are great. We've had good luck with Rocky over the years. I have a pair of Filson Uplander boots - had them for about 15 years, great for out in the woods on the property. We wear traditional leather sole boots for riding usually. The Filson brand is not what it was 20-30 years ago, but you may want to give their boots a try (I use their oil to treat mine often)...I must say their Tin Cloth and Mackinaw wool coats/vests are terrific for around the farm too ( I'm guessing their warranty is still Lifetime).

[@chancerichards5033]

You can get leather soles resoled for a lot less than then getting a new pair

[@YanasaTV]

Chance Richards not when they are busted up the side seam, which was our main issue in this case. But if the sole is all that’s wrong you’re absolutely right!!

I wear Justin’s everyday and I’ve had mine almost a year now and they still look brand new. All though I do use mink oil on them, but they hold up pretty good. Also have a pair of Georgia Boots that also are good for farming

[@Resistculturaldecline]

Usa made redwings will outlast all of those mentioned, if you're happy with the fit. Been in mostly construction for 25 yrs. In everything from lawn work, roofing, concrete work, carpentry framing, freight docks, engine repair, electrical industry, and communications lineman. Have always paid attention to which boots held up and which one didn't. Above a RW or Thorogood, you'll have to go custom. Which is a huge step in quality above anything in the $250 quality range. (Wesco, Nick's, Frank's, etc)

[@zachthayer2404]

I’ve worn the same pair of Georgia boots since ‘07 and I just now got a new pair

[@bret9741]

Grew up on a cattle and sheep ranch (25000 acres) and all of the old cowboys wore leather soles boots. We had them re-soled every 6-8 months. Keep you your boots oiled, polished and resole them when needed. Keep at least 3 pair of work boots and rotate them daily to let them dry out, especially if you get them soaking wet. I always set my boots in a hangar upside down over a floor vent, they never smell, the uppers last 10-12 years and sometimes longer.

[@jerrycannon6940]

How did you end up with so many acres? Whats the strategy? I want to be a farmer

[@bret9741]

@@jerrycannon6940 well, my grandfather was born in 1889. He accumulated it over the years by buying out other ranchers who started with 1 section (640 acres). Then my dad bought the rest from the 60’s. That’s a medium size ranch for that time. The Cohope (spelling) ranch that was all around us was 1200 sections divided among 2 siblings. Today, to truly make a good living, you would need at least 15,000 acres and truthfully, that would need to be debt free. Ranching has changed because of changing demand for products and environmentalist have made it difficult to control varmints that kill off lambs and calves. We made most of our yearly income off of sheep. That’s not really possible today.

[@oscarbear7498]

What a treasure to have your wife there with you, supporting you ,even if your just talking about your boot collection. Gem of a women

[@Easternkyoutdoors781]

I’ve worn about every boot under the sun trying to find the best one, I can.confidently say that Keen and Double H are the best, Keen are more oriented to factory or logging work, but Double H are also good for factory work, but if you are a logger, they won’t give you the grip that Keens would while working a hillside. But that also means they fit into a stirrup easily, get the right one for the job.

[@Eggomania86]

I know I am hard on my boots. I work at a factory and I am on my feet for 12 hours a day. I also work as a farm hand on my weekends. I wear western boots just for riding and for a night out of town. For my work boots, working at the plant and doing work around the farm I decided to pony up and buy a pair of Nicks boots. They are expensive and worth every penny. They can be a bear to break in. But they are tough they'll hold up to anything. I also have a pair of muck boots. But for boot care I clean them once a week. I brush and rinse off the mud. Then I clean them with saddle soap. When they dry I use obenauff's to oil them them up. Since my boots are exposed to solvents, grease and ink at the plant once a month I'll treat them with mink oil. A bit of advice a little bit of mink oil goes a long way. Take care of your feet because your feet make you money. I was always told invest in a good bed and invest in good boots if you are not in one you are in the other.

[@YanasaTV]

Not a bad philosophy

Use snow seal or other beeswax base. The mink oil, like neatsfoot can over-soften the leather and contributes to breakdown.

[@CPLBSS88]

I've spent anywhere from 50-500 on a pair of boots (owned all sorts) and none of them seem to last more than a couple years, of every day wear, at most. I'm apparently tough on footwear too but have found that ShoeGoo on the seams and around the sides, toe, and heal will really extend the life. I also dont use the straight Mink Oil anymore... just doesn't last long enough IMO, i've had much better results from Obenauf's. Rocky has a huge range of boots - some good, some OK, some down-right crap. Danner is another brand to look at if you dont mind lace-ups. I've used Muck boots a lot in pretty much every environment/condition to -40 to 100+ - super wet & humid to frozen to bone-dry. Muck makes good boots... just be sure to get the proper model as they make several different styles. There's some competitors to Muck that make excellent boots also. For the money, despite my good luck with Muck, i'm inclined to try Bog boots when my current pairs wear out.

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

You may want to switch from mink oil to Obenaufs LP, it was developed for work boots specifically. I would still initially treat the boot with Neetsfoot oil to take care of any factory dryness and some leather is just garbage. Pine tar works well to preserve leather soles and waterproof seems.

Excellent review. I prefer a lace up leather work boot for the ranch so I've been wearing Justin's for over 30 years . For me at least, they seem to hold up well. Does Rocky make a lace-up western work boot? Well, I see you have a link, I'll take a look. For rubber Muck type boots I wear original Lacrosse boots that go up to the knee. My wife prefers Bogg's Mossy Oak, which are similar to Muck. She say's the Muck's fit too tight around sides of her foot. During the winter months, Muck type boots are a must around our horses and the ranch.

What about the redwing/Irish setter boots. I've got a pair of their work boots (that I can't remember the name of for the life of me) that are waterlined and have a nice, tall rubber soul? They're pretty good in my book.

[@YanasaTV]

Haven’t tried them, so I can’t comment on them. But I’ve heard good things.

[@klugyboy1500]

Thanks for such an informative video. I would like your advice. My son (14) is going to be on a ranch this summer in Wyoming. They'll be riding a good part of the day as well as working. Would you recommend a dedicated western riding boot for him or do you think a hybrid will work like the Rocky's you recommend? Especially if his riding experience is limited. Thanks much!

[@YanasaTV]

If his riding experience is limited I would go straight western... less chance of getting stuck

[@dan69golf]

I love Rocky boots, they last along time 3 pairs all still going strong

[@josemarquez86]

Hello yall love from Cut and Shoot, Texas🙋‍♂️

[@cowboybootlicker]

Charlie, do you rotate your work boots or suggest more than one pair of work boots? Do you water proof your boots/ mink oil both ( your going out and work boots.)?

[@YanasaTV]

Normally I rotate, but currently I just wear the Rockies for everything. They clean up easy with a little saddle soap and mink oil

[@pantherakathecat4440]

I like using hiking/tactical boots, they are lighter and I get better grip.

[@workgearz]

Are all these boots waterproof?

[@Michaelg0221]

Try a pair of double h boots with the ice sole they hold up amazingly and stay very dry. The big name brands seem to have gone to crap.

[@coltonswindell689]

I wear rocky and redwing 1155 boots. Can’t go wrong.

[@river9920]

Ok so what’s the best boots for you two to go square dancing and working in ?😂🤣

[@pixelblitz2309]

tony lama's are meant to show off more than anything, but they are pretty waterproof and comfy

[@WestTNPredatorHunting]

Which Justin boots did you have with the rubber soles?

[@tubes5150]

What am I doing wrong !?!? How’d this get 89K Views !?!? No model numbers ??? No clear images ?? My Tecovas are the Best Cowboy boots on the planet !! The Johnny by Tecovas !! Waterproof suede cowboy boots !! Check em out !

[@raym5635]

Get yourself a pair of White's Smokejumpers. They are expensive $500+ but..... Brush them at least once a week and use Obenhauf's on them every 6 months and they will last many, many years. You may need to resole them once in a while, but the uppers and leather will last a good 5 years unless you just flat out don't take care of them or abuse them in odd ways like walking through a stream and then putting them by a heat source to dry them. That's will destroy any leather.

[@CarterCreekFarm]

Why are you going to Tractor Supply for boots. You have JR Moore's just down the road and Farmers alliance over in Siler.

[@YanasaTV]

CarterCreekFarm the rain & cowboy boots were bought before we knew the full lay of the land! We did remedy that error & Charlie’s Rocky’s were bought at JR Moore :)

[@joncash6898]

No more farmers alliance. It's a thing of the pass now

[@mikecook4025]

Great Video Ya"ll, Thanks for sharing.

[@jamesthekid6609]

I want a dam good hybrid. I wear Carolina loggers laced up everyday buy I wanna switch to cowboys or western style. There are so many brands and styles... Any suggestions? I'm hard on boots. I'm a logger during the day and ranch at night. So a good boot Is key

[@YanasaTV]

Rockies

[@thedestroyer9512]

I would suggest Anderson bean of Rod patrick they are expensive but last a really long time.

[@st.schochko9822]

Double H with ICE sole is far and away the best boot for the job. The ice sole is far and away the best wearing sole you can possibly own. The boots are also American made with full grain leather. Bison or folklore leather is very durable and lasts a very long time. You would not be disappointed.

[@Landon-no8ez]

I've had a pair of laredo boots for about a year now they are comfortable and a cheap option but I would spend 60 to 90 bucks more on some Justin's they last way longer

[@scottmaskell2412]

Funny you mention georgia boots had a pair treated them once wene i I first got them and stayed dry for two years before they got wet treated again and negeted them other then that and after 3 and a half years of everyday use the bottem finally gave out as the steel in bodtten came out didnt go to resole soon enough

[@cowboybootlicker]

Charlie can I ask how many pairs of "work" cowboy booy do you wear/have?? How many paira of "going out" cowboy boots or do you just wear your work cowboy boots as also your going out BOOTS???

[@YanasaTV]

I used to have multiple pairs right now I just have the Rockies... all my nice pairs got rotated into working boots.

[@jnmarin6603]

Have you considered duck boots? I am considering it for around our property. I think will not have to worry about the seems.

[@YanasaTV]

JN Marin we haven’t but will! Thanks

[@karenkaufman6579]

Muck or duck boots are great for mud, wet, but if you are driving a shovel or need a harder sole for moving rocks / foot protection - I’ll go for a good pair of Ariat work boots.

[@jnmarin6603]

Good point. I actually used one in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4mTqWqVl5aiqKM for just that and more, such as standing on barbwire. The climate here is hot and the leather uppers really made a difference. The steel shank also helps. Keep up all the hard work. Regards

[@emiliomaldonado5226]

I think you’d love a Double H boot! They are amazing

[@YanasaTV]

I will put those on my list to try!

[@eumghvao3468]

ARIAT BOOTS ARE THE BEST

[@YanasaTV]

I wouldn’t say best... but decent quality

[@mjp5429]

I got a pair and they're pretty good for slip on. Altama's are my go to boots.

[@Doltern_]

I am looking for a new pair and heard allot of good stuff about the company. Can you suggest one?

[@chriscastillo6299]

Shit I went threw a pair in a couple months wen wrkn the rigs, went back to redwi g

[@alyssaparham7429]

Leather soles are the best

[@dallionstallion6078]

I know the video is old will you link the leather bottom Justin boots?

[@AndersonCattleCo]

If you don't care for your boots it doesn't matter what brand they are. When you buy cheap boots you toss them after a few months, your feet are worth it wear a good boot, you get what you pay for. I wear Dunlop boots for winter and they are good for -40 and still fine in the mud and manure and will out last any muck boots. I wear red wings when I'm pulling wrenches an welding. I ride, go to church and town all in Ariat boots and I have bought them for 20years and if you take care of them they will last 3 years and that is riding a working big days in them. Clean your boots with dawn dish soap and then condition them with any good leather conditioners

[@abnercarrera]

"Abner" great name for the baby! So unique!

[@YanasaTV]

Thanks!

[@HonkyTonkHellraiser]

My best boots for work are Irish Setter Marshall boots. Rubber sole

[@that1mower]

Love you guys ❤

[@Rowen170]

Georgia Boots are great. Never have I had them leak. I've owned a lot of boots including Rockies but I don't recommend anything other than Georgia boots. Never had any problem with them

[@wilsjane]

Unlike most boots that do not have a leather sole, Georgia boots can be worn when burning stubble and stomping small grassfires out without wrecking the soles. Both my boyfriend and I wear them and they have lasted for years. I am not sure whether all of their boots have the corded nylon compound fire resistant soles. Have you worn yours around small fires without wrecking the soles.?

[@wolffangx-rp7xo]

If you use bick 4 style conditioner the leather will las longer because mink oil clogs the pores of the leather and is better for boots work boots that come waterproofed. You can water proof normal western boots @jerimiah craig has a video on how
