My top three are redwing, viberg, and Parkhurst and if you want a really nice work Boot go Nick's or whites

[@nowavevermeer8569]

great video! the limited edition ones seem just perfect, beautiful boots.I 'll get a pair of urban shepherd , didn't know the brand till now , look like very well build boots at a reasonable price

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

Those boots clearly stood up to the test of time. We are glad you learned something from the video. Keep on growing. -Mack

[@angeln1514]

This is great! We were just talking about boots at my place of work. All solid picks

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

Boots are everywhere! Thanks for sharing man. -Mack

[@davidpalmer9014]

The Stridewise review said that Urban Shepherds run very small. Did you need to size up one or two sizes?

[@MsKatastrophenBarbie]

Do you wear your boots in hot summer or hot climate ( vacation) too?

[@jacklennon7975]

Where did you get your cap from?

[@teikohdotcom]

Have you tried Old Mulla Boots? They look like Urban Shepherds and also made in Portugal.

[@armandom4471]

Where do you buy your clothes?

[@francisscialabba30]

This vid came just in time, I need new boots. The ones without laces are best for me since i do a lot of city walking. They aren't as constricting around the ankles and you don't have to worry about water sneaking in through the tongue. Appreciate the breakdown Carlos!

[@carloscosta387]

Francis Scialabba hope you get them and enjoy them as much as I do buddy.

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

Let us know what you end up picking out! Best of luck finding the perfect pair man. -Mack

[@hughphillips1427]

Totally agree, invest good quality boots. Will out last cheap stuff in the long run.

[@blondemommyvomit]

For those who work and play outdoors, or in the mountains, here are my top 3. 1. La Sportiva (Italian) 2. Boreal (Spain) 3. Wesco (California)

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

Thanks for sharing your top three! -Mack

[@carloscosta387]

jerszak yes man thank you. I do know have any of those. I’ll check them out.

[@HeMbo99]

Hey Carlos what do you think of Western or Cowboy boots? do you wear them?

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

Im not sure if Carlos has worn those. Ill ask him next time he is in the office. -Mack

[@talega1]

Very nice video and high quality boots. For those that have to deal with winter (snow, cold, water); ECO makes some Goretex shielded boots with plastic/rubber soles, and they have sport and also dress models....I am addicted to them....no issues so far.... I have NO patience to brake in shoes (feet hurt)

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

Thanks for the suggestion man! I used to live in the North East so I know a good pair of snow boots is always needed. -Mack

[@5ftDeep]

Nice sweater, Lebowski.

[@carloscosta387]

5ftDeep your dudeness to you 😉

[@0nizukaS4n]

😄👏

[@RBASHA1]

That's just like, your opinion man

[@EricBandholz]

Nice.

[@carloscosta387]

Eric Bandholz cake

[@grizzlybear5758]

.. good 👍

[@eprahl]

I really enjoyed this. They lean more towards work boots, but have you ever explored Red Wings? I have family ties to the town they are from.

[@blondemommyvomit]

From what I understand, Red Wing are now made in China. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

I am not sure if Carlos has worn any Red Wings, but I will ask next time he is in the office! Thanks for the comment man. -Mack

[@carloscosta387]

I’ve a few pairs of red wings they’re also long lasting however not in my top 3. Great boots though.

[@eprahl]

jerszak They are still operating a factory in MN doing some of the styles but yes they have moved some production out of the country over the years.

[@blondemommyvomit]

@@eprahl Yeah, not surprising anymore. I'm currently looking for a Muck style boot, US made, but not much luck. I'm finding even so-called Canadian made brands are actually produced in Asia with materials from India. It's getting kinda frustrating. Lol.

[@NordKristal1kristal]

nice steel

[@richyclubsport5155]

Trickers the best a man can get in this price range, I've got Henry x three pairs, Burford and Stow, amazing quality by the way I live in Northamptonshire borders, England, Trickers are 20 minutes away

[@0nizukaS4n]

I should start wearing boots, i am tired of my jordans!

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

You may find that they are your new favorite pair of shoes! Let us know if you decide to pick a pair up. -Mack

[@sunnyrachelsson3169]

Do it spend a bit more and have a pair of boots that will last you years and look way more classy

[@9828102]

Portugal tem muita tradição no fabrico de botas de elevada qualidade. Pessoalmente prefiro as botas Labuta à urban shepherd.

[@arturdocarmo5724]

Boas, o que aconselhas de botas portuguesas de alta qualidade? Tenho dificuldade em encontrar informação de botas europeias muito mais portuguesas

[@150mphEmperorG]

RM Williams - Australian Boots - One of the best

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

We will have to check them out! Thanks for sharing man. -Mack

[@jackfordmac]

Carlos! Is that the “dude” cardigan?!

[@stefanromanov608]

Urban shepherd-high quality at a reasonable price.

[@krystjanchanerley9288]

Viberg boots are also a good investment

[@fullmetalroyal1216]

Helm is over priced but urban Shepards are solid

[@Full_monty]

Redwing steel toe About 400 bucks but best boots have. Buy a new pair every year because I just work that hard . Lace up

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

Thanks for sharing, man! Are those your everyday boots? -Mack

[@Full_monty]

@@BeardbrandAlliance yeah I work oil field I'm always on my feet I have last year's pair and this year's and I rotate them every other day Makes them last longer , the moisture from sweat will destroy them if I don't let them dry Also I have half a foot (born with a clubbed foot) and when I wear them my feet don't hurt

[@jasontrojanowski2139]

Doc martins a black pair are hands down my favorite boot ever love the bouncing in the souls, u got killer style bro

[@blayne2029]

Hi Carlos. Not disputing the quality of Helm boots, but they are made in not made in the USA. They are made in Turkey. They call them "designed" in America, which is not close to the same thing.

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

Not true. Their classic shoes like the marion (see here: helmboots.com/collections/shop/products/marion-color-8?variant=20291836706878) are made in USA. They have a new line of shoes that are crafted in Brazil. -Eric

1. R.E. Tricker 2. R.E. Tricker 3. R.E. Tricker

[@hayleyturton1839]

3 brands of boots: RM Williams Done.

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

Short and simple, I like it! Thanks for sharing man. -Mack

[@centenoj85]

Thursday boots!!!!!

[@sunnyrachelsson3169]

They are ok I have a pair and it's already falling apart and I haven't even had it for a year yet. I would recommend Parkhurst for a bit more you get way better quality and selection of leather plus the owner is great.
