BEST PUNK BOOTS! (Ranking Boot Brands)

[@FelixTheAnimator]

The best punk boot is one you don't have to buy.

[@reptil_diy]

Hard Truth. The best boots I have owned have been hand me downs from other punks and skins or ones acquired in trades 🦖

[@r0s3budd]

best boots I have rn are boots gifted to me by a mate

[@sum_gie]

Best boot I have is a pair of Vietnam combat boots I got offline. I’m planning to make some bootstraps for it from some recently acquired wrist bands and some thrifted belts

[@reptil_diy]

Those Vietnam jungle boots are solid boots! I love the breathablity and the steel shanks that they have! I have a tutorial on basic bootstraps, I'd be stoked to see what you make! Feel free to hmu on IG @reptil_kodiya

[@bobsbrain397]

[@punk46664]

Old man's advice - if your current boots are comfortable, just get them resoled. Save yourself having to break in a new pair

[@OGxCSH]

I agree....I used Vibram soles on my Docs back in the late 80s early 90s

[@punk46664]

@OGxCSH vibrams are the go-to answer for soles

[@reptil_diy]

Thanks for watching guys, thought I'd make a boot review before you spend your money on hot garbage for the holidays 🦖🦖🦖

[@АртёмКаганович-ъ8н]

Used to dress punk around the french alps, gotta agree with you on the "no zippers" part - they let water and snow seep in thus compromising insulation, on top of what you said - mostly durability, coz I was wearing some Palladium-made rangers and they lasted me throughout all of high school - it's the zipper that gave way first

[@MrMophead41001]

Love my redwings. Not the flashiest boots but these things last me 50 hours a week for years.

[@Crimsoncadaver]

as a former steel boot owner, the damn sole of the boot opened up around the steel toe ( after 2 years of wear!) got myself a pair of Polish boots recommended by a friend called KMM

[@undyingclearlight7988]

Back in the day, I tried most of the military surplus boots- jump boots, field boots, ranger boots, and jungle boots- jungle boots are kinda weird but there's some appeal there. Also had veggie boots at one point, they stayed in really good shape for the years I had them, before I gave them away to a traveler friend. I currently own some newer grinder's, but have my sights set on some oxblood solovairs for someday down the road. I agree with your rankings especially the shitty sweatshop DMs- only wear those if you can get em used and cheap. Stoked you posted a new video Reptil!

[@monkeyjitsu420]

Been in the scene since '94 and I have to commend you on your articulate and tiered list. I currently own a pair of Solovair and prefer them to the others ive had over the years. Great work, much respect!

[@BananaSchoolBus]

My go-to the past few years has been the Thorogood moc toe, in Midnight (black with white/gray stitching.) They've got a different silhouette than the classic combat/ranger boots, but they're very comfortable and are made with legendary quality.

[@RottenWaste]

As a metalhead those 8” thorogood wedge soles are a dream when standing for long periods at shows/festivals (feel like a sneaker once broken in) and take one hell of a beating. Also a good pair of Justin steel toe cowboy boots are nice too just gotta swap out the insoles for nicer ones

[@RoryLynott]

Yes. Thorogoods for the win. The American moc toes or plain toes. I got fortunate and found the moc toes for 125. The pull on Soft Streets are anything but soft, lol. I wore them almost everyday for 7 years before they gave up the ghost and cost me 65 bucks, American made.

[@dboone7670]

Finally bit the bullet and bought a pair of Gripfast a couple months ago. I have absolutely 0 buyer's remorse. They're great boots, and they felt like they were already mostly broken in when I got them. Getting a new pair of Docs was always like deciding to patronize a dominatrix for a week or something. You are knowingly signing up for pain. The Gripfast felt nice from the get-go.

[@Jesterthefool881]

love this, my dude

[@megmcguigan3857]

I have 3 different pairs of 14 hole Angry Itch boots and they are of good quality. The soles are sewn, glued and screwed so they are far better constructed than a lot of the other brands. I haven't gotten a single blister wearing them and they are very comfortable. They are made in Poland by a German company.

[@billybattyboyjunior69]

Tanker boots are based off the tanker boots used by US tank crewmen to this day. The straps are used instead of laces as the laces would have a greater tendency to get caught on various snags and metal bits inside the tank. Definitely looks really cool, and I'm sure civilian versions are different, but I'm sure most people are expecting some level of discomfort with a lot of these boots I should say that traditional tanker boots were not designed to walk a lot in so just keep that in mind if you have to walk around a lot for an event or something. On top of that make sure you break in any new pair of boots you get to make sure they're comfortable for long periods of time. Just Google how to break in whatever material of boots your using and do it. Leather boots usually take about 2 weeks of break in before being ready for serious wear and use.

[@anthonyshortbox5498]

I've been trying to find some new boots after my military surplus boots fell apart. This video has been very helpful.

[@holdthatblaow]

My current favorite punk boots are redwing 606. They are the same price as made in England Dr. Martin’s brand new, but they are made in the USA and repairable by the company. Extremely comfortable too.

[@meltingcolorsthatdontblend1982]

I’ve been wearing my brandits for a year and they’ve held up really well! Highly recommend ‘em

[@CrypticKlaus]

I only have one pair of boots, and they are Red Wing boots I found in my moms garage. One of the soles is crumbling off despite them being only a couple years old. Otherwise, it is very comfortable and sturdy, especially if you need extra ankle support, and has good traction for the icy winters 👌👌👌

[@RampinUp46]

I'd get them resoled if you can, Vibram soles are a good bet to go down. I've worn boots with crumbling soles before and it's not gonna take long for them to turn to shit if you keep wearing them day after day.

[@beclouise8686]

Thanks so much for sharing this ! I currently sport a pair of Olivers boots which show very little wear and tear. I got them second hand but they look like military issue aswell. I got tired of all my other boots breaking. Got a wicked pair of New Rocks second hand and didn't realise they had sold out and they broke on the third wear because the soles are glued not stitched. Will never personally purchase boots that aren't stitched at the soles ever again after that experience.

[@Quoyan]

There's Angry Itch, made in the EU and with a decent variety of ranger boots and Steelground, made in Portugal, with less ranger boots to choose from but more varied styles if that's what one's looking for. I can't speak for any of them since I have never used them. As a goth I mainly have second hand new rocks , old docs and a pair of second hand destroy boots.

[@megmcguigan3857]

I have 3 pairs of 14 hole Angry Itch boots and they are excellent. They soles are sewn, screwed and glued which makes them better constructed than a lot of the other brands. I have never gotten a blister wearing any of them and they are very comfortable.

[@mutecommercials]

I love my Solovair boots, worth every penny.

[@RampinUp46]

I have a pair of Boots&Braces boots, they're very well made and don't take forever to break in. Maybe I've gotten lucky but my pair of Steels has been about on par with my experience with secondhand Gripfast - comfortable, made well, and the only thing I've had to replace on them were the eyelets from ladder lacing my boots (which tbh I've done with Gripfast more than once).

[@jfu5222]

My favorite punk rock boots were French issue combat boots with the two buckle flap at the top. Back in the 80s, in Minneapolis, locally made Red Wing loggers were at the pinnacle of style. Although popular, even forty years ago Dr. Martin's were junk and extremely slippery in the winter. For winter wear I came across a pair of East German felt-lined jack boots, they've lasted me over twenty years and are still in good shape, though I've had them resoled. Several countries have felt lined or similar winter boots, search online, you don't have to look like a dork to stay warm in the northern latitudes.

[@loudspeaker215]

im early!! im in love thank you for this!

[@JaymzLee-rc9lj]

Army surplus goodwill thrift stores

[@vargprinsen]

ALTERCORE! I've got a pair of vegan 9 holed classic combat boot style Altercores with a hefty sole and steel toe that've gotta be 7 some years old with not a hint of breaking. They do several styles and often have sales and I'd 100% recommend getting a pair. They hold up great!

[@vargprinsen]

They have both vegan and normal leather alternatives, I can't speak for the leather but the fake/vegan one feels just durable as real leather.

[@maksimusdikus9109]

brandit boots are good for the price but the steel toe gave me blusters on my pinky toe + lineman boots are known as pnw ( pacific north west ) boots and some of the models come with the lineman shank ( added piece of leather under the shank for stiffness ) and a lineman patch ( a piece of leather on the side of the boot to slow down the wear while on the job ) the lineman is just a model but i herd that a lot of people return them cuz the lineman patch and lineman shank made them too stiff so be careful with that some more brands of high quality pnw boots are Nicks boots, Franks boots, Whites boots, Drews boots and JK boots

[@averyj.steele1074]

I own a few of those brands and honestly I could never imagine someone in the punk scene spending that kind of money. I was never a punk but I did record a lot of bands in my early 20s so punk adjacent? Never met a single person willing to spend that sort of money on anything much less a pair of boots but maybe I'm wrong. Hell, most people nowadays look at me like I'm insane if I happen to mention how much my boots cost.

[@jamieg8798]

From my personal experience I haven't had any problems with zipper boots

[@JYAF]

My best pair so far is some irish settlers that I found, cowboy boots are taboo in some regional scenes but to be quite honest I've used them for construction work and they'll fit right in should I tie a bandana or two around them

[@Wolfgangdesignpro]

ive got two pairs of grinders! absolutely love them, fantastic, but hell to break in!

[@kako3035]

I have a pair of brandit phantoms right now, 18 eyelids, they're hard to break in but they're very comfortable, I've heard that many people have problems with them, but I haven't had any.

[@PariahThistledowne]

I wore a pair of old Shelley's to work for ages before they wore out. Docs are trash. Now i wear an old model of Red Wing steel toes, but my wish list boots are Nick's Tactical. I won't likely be dropping $520 for boots, but i am certain they would last the rest of my life (52yo).

[@ste887]

As someone who used to be in the scene but sort of fell out with it. (just a change in tastes as i got older) the one thing that stuck was black leather boots, highly polished with my trousers bloused round them, i always just liked the look and was something interesting about the authoritarian military bloused standard and the ripped jeans i was doing it to. now i bought my first pair of Alt-Bergs back in 05, i have worn a pair of their boots in one style or another for the last 20 years give or take. if you like the industrial punk look, P1 peacekeepers are great for the look with the ultra chunky sole, if you want something lighter the warrior mk2 are my daily use pair in black. they are available in brown, and if you don't mind a evening with a few tins of polish, you can get a lovely oxblood deep red/brown to the brown ones, which can suit being paired up with jeans nicely. If you live in the UK, id fully recommend doing the factory tour and getting some customs, as once they have the last of your foot they can do you any pattern of boot custom fitted without additional visits. but the customs will run you about 350GBP. however, if you can live without custom sizing, black police and brown military surplus options are available for 20-50GBP. with only the sole wearing over the last decade I've used my newest pair. but a new sole every decade? i feel that's a fair trade. standard soles are vibram too which is nice for your knees and ankles if you walk on urban terrain all day, but enough ankle support to go hiking out in the woods without worrying, plus lots of grip, unlike DM.

[@ariescustom]

Underground, Boots & Braces and Altercore all make decent ranger boots. I used to wear Getta Grips back in the 90s and liked them, but they are no more. Shellys made a good ranger too. Steel Boots quality has improved, but the only ones I'll wear from now on are Gripfast as they are head and shoulders above the rest in quality. The Solovair rangers are nice too.

[@bobsbrain397]

My first punk boots were a secondhand pair of Caterpillars that I added pink trainer laces, screwed spikes and painted band logs onto. They were with me on some of the best nights of my life, had to lay em to rest last year as they simply couldn't be repaired/cleaned any further😔 Life goes on though, for new stuff, I'll definitely vouch for vegetarian shoes (their boots and trainers ranges are awesome, plenty non-pleather variants too like appleskin and cork, and hella cheap shipping if you're in the uk/eu), and against side zippers (they break way too easy, I was re-stitching mine as often as I tied the laces lmaoo). Another awesome vid, thanks for the wisdom mister reptil🖤🤘

[@tylercox7520]

Props for using clips from Population Zero's nothing learned video! I was supposed to be there that day and decided not to go because I was hungover.

I have a pair of old Good Year combat boots. The leather is pretty worn @ the toe but the soles are still like new.... kinda. Got em @ thrift store for $20, can't beat that! & the military boots (olive drab) that I have I believe are Corcoran or Thorogood, they're called "Mondo" boots, very easy to take on/off, I even had the upper hooks replaced w/ eyelits.

[@Tom_-]

Not really the punk look but check out Redbacks boots. Made in Australia so no sweatshop child labour, and they're super comfortable and sturdy.

[@0pTic4lZagg3]

I'd be willing to pay top buck for a gladiator boot with an actual well-made sole, not just some glued shite that every brand besides Alpinestars seem to put out. Speaking of which, I'd recommend staying away from Underground UK-boots for two reasons: first, the soles are merely glued on in the factory, and for +$250 boot that is inexcusable, second, the lugs on the soles tend to gather up snow and small rocks at such a heavy pace.

look, im not gonna judge anyone too hard, at the end of the day it's your choice. but i IMPLORE you, if you care about the earth, DO NOT. buy "vegan" leather boots. theyre PLASTIC. they will shed microplastics for the entire time the leather laminate stays on them. and believe me, they will shed. no matter how nice they are, they'll shed eventually, and will ultimately be worse for the environment than the leather industry could possibly be. if you dont want to support the industry, just buy your leather secondhand. good leather, even if its old, will last you your whole life if you take care of it. pick up some old leather boots and a leather care kit. youll thank me later other than my vegan leather rant, this was a really good video- ive been wanting another pair of nice leather boots, since the ones i own are really good but really HEAVY. ill have to look into solovair, they seem to be just what i want. thanks reptil!

[@dolphinloser6546]

I'm vegan and fully agree. My veganism is based in harm reduction, and vegan "leather" is not leather at all, it's just plastic. Additionally, leather is popular as a boot/clothing material for its durability and malleability - it's comfortable, protective and with the right care can easily last. Vegan "leather" will absolutely NOT last - it doesn't matter how well you care for it, it will shed and as it does so, it will fall apart. Regular leather boots if made well and cared for will outlast vegan "leather" boots multiple times over easily, often by decades.

[@gerardkalibre77]

FOR PEOPLE WHO WHEAR MORE THAN a 46 (European size) I have used a couple of ''grinders'' in the past and honestly they are of poor quality. They sell them as genuine leather and they are not. One of them broke at the eyelet part and I took it to be repaired and an expert leatherworker told me that they were made of very poor quality leather and that he was surprised by the price (for me they are in tier C or D). Today I use a German brand called ''angry itch'' that for the quality they have are at a good price (for me they are in tier A or S). The Polish brand ''altercore'' also makes good quality boots at a good price (for me they are in tier A)

The other pair I've owned for about 6 months, some Austrian surplus boots and they are so comfortable for long walks and feel very heavy duty. I would reccomend against veg leather because its just plastic and is worse for the environment and wont last nearly as long as a good quality leather.

[@RoryLynott]

I would say Whites or Hawthorne Smokejumpers or Linemans however they're both outta hand in price nowdays. Swiss M90 military boots are the best that you can get for 50 bucks or for pull on boots I would go with Thorogood Soft Streets steel toes. They are anything but 'soft.'

[@reptil_diy]

Punk is who you are not what you wear. That being said 90% of my awake time is spent wearing slip on shoes in the healthcare field. I more or less made this video so punks could spend their money on footwear that is not complete garbage. Boot brands are the only thing I see punks actively buy instead of DIY-ing. That being said some of these brands suck and no one has really brought it up in a discourse. Honestly I just don't like thinking that some kid, fresh to the scene, feels like they have to drop $200 on some terrible boots when other options exist. Thanks for watching 🦖
