Which Boots Should I Buy In 2023?

[@EduardoHenrique-nd1ro]

Another amazing video, Harry! Thanks for sharing with us! Cheers from Brazil!

[@HarryHas]

Thank you bro. Have a good rest of y or r weekend

[@harisharma1749]

I got loafers but they are a bit shiny so i am little sacred to wear them with a casual outfit because i think the loafers are a little on a formal side. CONTEXT :they are a bit chunky , black . HELP

[@Janrick0518]

Are u a mind reader? I was just about to consider buying boots because I want something different to wear for a change. And yay another Harry Has video! >:3

[@HarryHas]

😉

[@xbq8034]

U would be 6’3 with that Marsell😂

[@HarryHas]

Sounds good to me haha

[@botanist3257]

Yet another fantastic and helpful video, Harry. I have as well been struggling with picking up a pair of boots and the video is right on time, mate.

[@HarryHas]

Glad you enjoyed it mate

[@adamwest5625]

You should look into English made boots such as Trickers and Cheaneys. I have a pair of Cheaneys Elliot Derby Boots in the black grain leather which is amazing - you can dress them up or down with a suit or black denim and leather biker. Another favourite of mines is my Trickers Stow Boot - these feel amazing and are solidly constructed that’ll last me for years. Plus point is once the soles wear down, these are repairable unlike AMI and some of the other brands you’ve mentioned.

[@playingindies6730]

I haven't grown up enough for the moc toe shoes If you buy from US stores, you can ask them to leave the value off the box. This way they will be valued lower for import making the fees lower as well.

[@SantosSaysMedia]

Interesting selections I noticed you selected a ton of Black boots. I find Black boots to be for less versatile and wearable. Great video!

[@HarryHas]

I always wear black boots really. Just my kinda thing. Thanks a lot

[@iamadamcrocker]

A few boots to research (I think you’ll like) Grenson Dudley boot, jacques soloviere paris Pio boot or Rasmus grained version, churches Havant (just hit sale) and the highly underrated Officine Creative balance 009. Ps out of your vid you know the camion is my go to.

[@HarryHas]

I do know this pairs and all solid. The Officine creative Pistol boot is more my kinda thing and was on this list originally but I like the suede model best and I don’t really want a suede boot. I do like boots (more like shoes though) from Jacques But they aren’t something I’d probably wear currently. Churches are always a good brand but pricey and I like Grenson a lot but none of them grabbed me from their current collection. All good options for others to check out though and thanks for sharing

[@lowelindberg3234]

I bought the vagabond camerons a few weeks ago. They are not too expensive and i love them. They are in my opinion totally worth the price

[@lowelindberg3234]

they also have them in both a version with laces and one without, depending on what you prefer.

[@joaosousa2258]

Hi, I was considering buying the Camerons as well how do they fit ? I was reading the instructions on the website about the sizing and I am 277mm do you think I should go for the 42 or the 43 size? Thanks

[@HarryHas]

I’ve talked about Vagabond in previous videos. Glad to hear they are decent

[@lowelindberg3234]

@joaosousa2258 i was between 44 and 45 and went with 45. At first i thought about buying another pair to see which ones are the best but i just went with the one i had and they are fine imo. So if you are close to 43 maybe go for them. You can always send them back if they´re too large :)

[@keshavnarayan9104]

@@joaosousa2258 I got their jeff boot and i was around 270mm and went with 42. They fit me really well so i'd go with 43 if i were you.

[@0080ff]

I would recommend getting the gore-tex version for the Red Wing Moc. They are surprisingly more comfy than their regular variants, and they're waterproof as well. Another boots I want to mention is Paraboot. MIchael is one of my favorite derby boots out there right now. They're well made, and very versatile imo.

[@HarryHas]

Both solid. Paraboot michaels aren’t my style but they are a great shoe

[@thesoleguy]

Quick Q for everyone, are timberlands fine to wear in the snow?

[@kronkepus3671]

Yes absolutely

[@MrFattymattyweasel]

Grenson have some fun fashion forward boots, you should check them out!

[@HarryHas]

They are a great brand

[@theserberus8918]

from my expiereince, if you to buy docs, you should deffientley look towards pairs made of nappa/pisa leather. these are deffentley more durable than classic smooth leather

[@fensizor]

For guys living in cold climates and looking for winter boots, I can't recommend The North Face's boots enough. Back-to-berkeley IV specifically. Very comfortable, durable, waterproof and they look good imo

[@MultiGames4You]

Are they warm enough ?

[@MultiGames4You]

Also are you talking about the textile or leather versions ?

[@markthemillenialcooksfood6137]

Yes agreed! great traction in ice and snow

[@fensizor]

@@MultiGames4You Yes, they have good insulation and are warm. I have good experience with their boots in both leather and textile versions.

[@torresromain]

Since Brexit, ordering from the UK has been really troublesome because you never know if you're gonna have import fees or not. I can imagine the pain it must be the other way around

[@HarryHas]

Yeah it’s a nightmare. Really annoying

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

Having quite a wide forefoot I personally love the comfort of my Birkenstock Bryson boots. The sole could be more durable and they probably won’t last forever but I find them surprisingly easy to style and cozy to wear.

[@paulosantos2890]

Anyone experienced the viron being a bit tigh? If so, how long does it take for them to be comfy?😢 I think they look awesome but maybe I just got the wrong size?

[@habl00pep]

Had red wings for years and years. Mould to your feet and had an official resole multiple times in the uk ( although my collection might still be excessive even after selling half)

[@SheshkuDeiwe]

I own a pair of shiny Solovairs and often wear quite simple outfits so they add an interesting touch

[@sergioflorean2189]

Buy the red wings, one of my favourites, and once you break them in, theyre like clouds.

[@jaynern]

Get yourself a Thursday Diplomat or White Perry Select.

[@simondanielssonmusic]

I hate zippers on boots. From my experience zippers are always the first thing to break on a good pair of boots. I'd love to be proven wrong someday though, because some of the zippered boots you showcased here look absolutely beautiful.

[@HarryHas]

Yeah I know what you mean. They are great to have to get in and out of a boot though

[@Chocolouf]

Zippers means low construction quality, as it will break way before anything else.

[@texzero9093]

I really like the viron boots, but can they be resouled? If i buy a pair id want to keep them for a long time. If anyone could answer this I'd appreciate it very much.

[@Steveirwintiktok]

I’m from Australia 🇦🇺 the two boots I have r.m William and Blundstone boots

[@lgroves336]

You searched for months and months for a pair of boots??? That sounds messed up. Just buy Red Wing Moc Toe or Iron Ranger

[@fra91_]

Does anyone know if I can find the Oree boots from any reseller in the UK or only from their US shop?

[@GoufinAround_]

No Thursday boots eh? They're probably one of the best brands out there that have boots as their main focus

[@cubeography]

if i ever lived in a cold climate, i would definitely want to try blundstones

[@jacquiadams6741]

Love my Blundts!

[@joshuaslosser6988]

100% recommend the red wing moc toe (and it’s not just because I’m a red wing employee lol). I hated it at first and now I love it. Get the 1907 version and you’ll be happy. If you want them darker, just oil them consistently!

[@JamesLeung]

Such a shame about those import fees! I've been stung with that in the past as well. I've picked up some new boots which I'll be showing off next week, wish I had watched this first though because there's a couple of bangers in here that I might have picked up instead!

[@HarryHas]

Can’t wait to see what you got man. I’m still yet to discover a lot of boots so always keen to see more options

[@BenjaminChavez]

You keep showing the same boot over and over. Redwings was the only boot that didnt look the same as the other one.

[@HarryHas]

That’s because I’m trying to choose a new pair of boots. Of course they are going to look the same as that’s the style I like and it’s a hard decision to pick between them.

I have 3 pairs of low top Tanino sneakers from Buttero, including one that is 11 years old. All still going strong, and looking even better with age.

[@HarryHas]

Great to hear mate. You don’t find much information on them online. Would love to know how this exact pair of boots hood up.

[@WaelAKamel]

Harry i love your humor, you’ve helped me elevate my style and pass some really dark times while moving to Germany. I appreciate you bro.

[@HarryHas]

Glad I could help bro and hope you are all good now. Germany is amazing so hopefully you enjoy it there. My wife is German so we visit a lot. 🤟

[@Harpotos]

what size are your Viróns? are they TTS?

[@mikew742]

If you are interested in boots, it is worth checking out Justin Reess England, more refined than these clumpy black boots that look like they are designed for prescriptions.

[@HarryHas]

Why so negative bro?

[@rassm3229]

Love the video Harry. Perfectly timed too, as I've been eyeing up a pair of solovair for a while now. I do love the Viron boots and think the styling of them is exactly what i'm after. Can i ask how much the import fees were going to be? I'm also in the UK and don't fancy a heart attack when they arrive

[@HarryHas]

It was just over £70 so far. Hopefully not the same again on their return!

[@HarryHas]

I got my last pair from Farfetch or somewhere like that but they didn’t have the 1992z there now

[@tomb614]

Not sure if this is sponsored, but I bought this Veron on Harry's recommendation, and it's brutal. Very uncomfortable, and it hurts the legs a lot.

[@HarryHas]

It’s not sponsored and that’s a shame. I wear mine all the time and find them very comfortable.

[@robinw688]

Don’t scare me with the thumbnail like that. My moc toes arrived last Friday. Really sturdy pair of boots but it will take a while to break them in.

[@HarryHas]

Hope you enjoy wearing them mate. Good choice of boot

[@MrSoccerkid26]

How do you feel about the G.H.bass Chelsea ranger boots? Thought they looked a bit unique.

[@HarryHas]

They aren’t a bad looking boot from what I’ve seen if it’s the ones I’m thinking of

[@HeyQuinton]

splash that YT cash and just accept the import fee lol

[@HarryHas]

Haha I’m gonna have to pay it either way

[@HeyQuinton]

@@HarryHas Just as an FYI - a store in Canada had them for 50% - I grabbed another Viron pair based on your recco!. 50% + conversion could be worth the import from Canada (UK to Toronto was $90 CAD on my $500 END order)

[@HarryHas]

@@HeyQuinton thanks for letting me know mate. I will look into it. I’m hoping I can sort something out where I’m not charged but looks unlikely

[@inrptn]

Do you know the brand The Last Conspiracy? I think you might like their boots and they usually have a Black Friday sale every year and they are based in Europe.

[@kristijan8518]

I've been looking in shoe stores for months and I can't find any of the classic boots. They only have modern bullshit with synthetics, zippers instead of laces. It's so annoying living in East Europe.

[@iseeghosts1192]

Hey, I ordered a pair of Viron 1992 boots and am having a hard time getting them on. My question is whether the zipper on the 1992z can be opened completely to make it easier to put the shoes on?

[@michalpietraszek925]

Everyone needed this 😅

[@GBO76]

I've 47 yo, and I clicked on your channel because of the Red wing 875 with Hideous on it. I have a pair of these Red wing Moctoe for more than 15 years, have changed the sole twice, but they look brand new. But my favorite pair of boots, for decades now, is the Iron Ranger, still from Red wing. I hated them when I was younger. But now it's black Iron ranger on monday, brown iron ranger on tuesday, then black, then brown...while I have a dozen of different boots.

[@riley-4205]

The oree boots would look great with your style i reckon. I would have a look at the grenson brady boot in black and also paladium boots are a weird converse/boot hybrid that i actually like the look of. Personally i wear red ring briar oil moc toes although i wear mostly heritage wear so they fit right in.

[@HarryHas]

I do think the Oree boot would be good for me for sure. I’ve seen the ones from Palladium and Grenson and they are cool but not quite right for me.

[@mjrtensepian1727]

Re: Red Wing moc toes; There are lots of brands making classic American work boots; White's, JK, Thursday, JK, Origin, etc

[@kellerklaus4570]

Thanks to you I got my hands on a pair of Ami Paris boots for a good price🙏 They are the ones with the black eyelets. I hope you found a pair too.

[@blinky.5078]

I fee like I'm too short / build to rock boots, i think they lend themselves to more slender profiles e.g, Rick Owens, Dries Van Noten type silhouettes.

[@stevewhite5120]

Get the heritage mock toe boots from Red Wing I see your boots are always black put some color into your boot game plus they patina very beautifully I own a pair myself and there awesome

[@sebastianromero113]

check out some barefoot style

[@Kedzunya]

If you look for a heritage workboot check Nick's, White, Redwing. If you look for dressier style you have to check Briselback (Benzein) and Northampton (more sneaker style than boot)

[@jesse.taylor]

i love this video format, walking through your shopping thought process and how you evaluate!

[@srca1990]

Hi mate, very useful video as I was looking to buy the viron 1997 boots but not keen on that hefty import tax! Do you remember roughly how much they tried to charge you for your 92’s? Cheers!

[@unknown-at5855]

Why's his t-shirts always tilted to left slightly in every videos??? Or its a kind of fashion too??

[@HarryHas]

I don’t know mate. Not intentional and I didn’t actually notice. Maybe my body is lop sided I dunno

[@peterwoods35]

Japan here. Bought a pair of real leather GU combat-style boots for about $40 US. Beat any of those on your list.

[@matej_hahn]

Adieu: I've bought the Type 196 a month ago for my trip to NYC. The quality is impeccable and I love the style. They're a bit chunkier and more punk rock than the 165 and I like that. I already own a pair of "regular" black boots and I needed something more "fashion forward". Initially I was a bit worried about the comfortableness because of the chunky zipper on the back. I had no issues walking 10 miles per day after properly breaking them in.

[@TheEstacion15]

What about rain boots? I have seen on the Viron website that their boots are waterproof, but keep the foot dry on rainy days? And if not, witch ones do you recommend? Thanks!

[@inupete69]

all my homies hate import fees

[@santiagogerez]

If I were you, I would go for the Greasy Grain from Solovair, or the Type 165 from Adiev, since they're quite minimalists and you already have a more "overloaded" pair with the Viron ones.

[@iblameKdt]

He changed thumbnail 😮😮

[@tommahnke]

Only pair he looked at that I would wear myself are the Red Wings. The others look a bit too Frankenstein for my taste.

[@swimgood3873]

Thoughts on Fracaps?

[@Bob-t4g7w]

Did you get some Solovair ? id like a vid on them.

[@mrMYass]

If you like the doc Martin style but want something more premium then check out the unmarked riot boots. The style is a little different and they cost $400 but I think it’s better looking and the quality of them seems to be very high. I haven’t seen them in person yet though.

[@florenciomendoza1212]

It’s a personal choice really. I’m not into red wings lol Chelsea’s cool . And it depends on your height. And no no to high long cut Chelsea 😱

The backlacing boots seem like a drunken faceplant waiting to happen at beddy byes time at the end of the night out

[@TimeSpace1]

Harry, you should take a look at the Leo Leather Lace-Up Boot from Banana Republic. Love the combo of grain and smooth.

[@frankchan5547]

Try Ecco boots because the cushioning is fantastic and boots feel light and comfortable compared to other more brand name boots.

[@BharathKumarThallurRavic-uc1bw]

Anyone who wants to buy a Chelsea boot and wants quality but is not sure then the answer is always “R M Williams”.

[@habl00pep]

I had great hope when I bought some solovair brogue boots. The tabs came away almost immediately, the leather stained and leaked almost immediately and never recovered looking like the were almost cracking in the first two weeks.

[@UnimportantAcc]

Import fees! 😩😩😩

[@fergus2004]

found a new pair of viron 1992 for 90 euros new in my size 🙏🙏 gonna be wearing your boots from now on harry 😂

[@raeido3000]

I think in the next summer i will wear linen pants with blue shirt And birkenstock sandals so beach vibes

[@BenyaminLorit]

Interesting how most of the options are mono black as I typically find that very limiting and often too dressy especially so that these designs are all fashion forward and feel like they're made for the runway. Also, those grain Chelsea boots are fire. Way too good to be an honorable mention.

[@galaboyz8129]

Never had but wish some hiking boots from Fracap, Danner, Diemme

[@i.am.je_music]

Wanna know what’s funny I watched your boot video from 9mo. ago literally last night… ty for posting 😅 edit: I’m only beginning to look into boots more recently since I don’t have a pair

[@erin7995]

damn that ending was sad

[@DariusJones05]

Zippers on a men’s boot is just…a no-go for me personally.

[@HarryHas]

I get it and that’s fair

[@atticustay1]

Vagabond boots are good

[@anonymousotter6455]

I just wanted to shout out a couple of more brands like "The Last Conspiracy" and Paraboot. The Last Conspiracy in particular is very similar to Guidi. They won't fit into my wardrobe at all, but I really wish they were my style because I love them.

[@Since1871]

I've got a pair of loafers and a pair of boots from Adieu that are very similar to the ones you are interested in. Purchased both at the same time in last year's sale. A year later they still look brand new, but that's only because I never wear them. I find them absolutely uncomfortable. Pity, because I really love the design of Adieu footwear. Hope this helps.

[@1eparry]

Just grab a pair of Grant Stone boots. That would be my pick.

[@naomi_lyon]

AAAARRRRRGH! The thing with the import tax/duty really sucks! Still, I thought that was yet again another brilliant video Harry, thank you 😘 p.s. are the 1992Z's part of Viron's permanent collection? If so, I got mine for a good price from Ssense in the sale (and import tax/duty is built-in).

[@HarryHas]

Thanks a lot mate. They are. You are lucky to have Ssense. Wish we had them in the UK. They have everything

[@naomi_lyon]

I am in the UK!

[@naomi_lyon]

The shipping fee was hideous, but I only paid £150 in total.

[@rassm3229]

Oooh, just as i was about to pull the trigger on them too. I ended up getting them on Ssense and used the 25% off discount code, so thanks for mentioning this. Taxes are included and free shipping so i'm chuffed

[@HarryHas]

@@naomi_lyon ahh ok. I’ve bought from Ssense before and didn’t get charged import but just thought I got lucky. What about returns? I think I read the returns are costly though for items sent from the UK?

[@peter.nguyen]

I love me a pair of boots! It takes a lot of effort to stop me from buying a new pair. But the one that has always stuck by my side are my 6inch Alburn Timbs - I have worn them the hell and back. They were my motorbike boot when I still rode and they're still going strong today!

[@decoder478]

Where are you located that you have to pay so much taxes ?

[@Creasey_F]

Bottega veneta puddle boots and their Tire Chelsea’s are really dope.

[@santiagomoncalvo9343]

I just got a pair of black Blundstones, I love em.

[@Ray03595]

Lol nooo, the thumbnail photo! I wore my Red Wing 875's today. They're such a fall staple for me. I can see why other people don't like them though, but they just scream fall for me and go great with a jean jacket. Quality is amazing, but do be warned the break-in period can be rough, but very comfortable after thats done. I wouldn't wear them for a full day right out of the box or even 3-4 wears.

[@HarryHas]

Did you watch that part where I talk about them in the video?

[@Mountainmantech]

I've bought Fracap m120 boots. Black. Heavy. Reliable❤

[@Jollopukki2]

not understand why you rejected boots because of import fees ? now you are without boots, but still have to pay fees , even more fees as you mentioned)) Nothing wrong with import fees if item is delivered from another region ( it is paid anyway, directly or indirectly). For example, i ordered watch from Japan for 400 eur, paid 100 eur fees, and now happy as hell ))

[@HarryHas]

Yep. You are right. I panicked and made a silly decision.
