I like that pool table brush idea. That shoe care box your dad left you has great looking oak! Quite a treasure. I have watched both of your roughout videos. Do you prefer oiling or waxing the roughout, and why? THANKS for this video!

[@maxwellhouseranch1004]

@krazmokramer thanks, I prefer oil during the dryer months of the year, waxing the boots definitely has its advantages over oil when it's wet out.

I called Drew’s last week to get I formation about the fit of the boots, I have read so many reviews regarding the fit of the boots that I wanted to make sure I order the correct size. Boots seam to be extremely wide to be a D width for what I can see on the videos, unfortunately I didn’t get any valuable information or actual help for that matter, the personnel answering the phones are incompetent and lack the knowledge needed to provide any valuable help, disposition to help is not there, all I got was “ You need to order soon because lead times are getting longer and price will go up “ I can’t just blindly order a product when there’s no information provided specially in footwear where fitment is the most important part of the purchase.

The prices on these boot shouldn't go up unless inflation drastically goes up. Drews makes these boot in Mexico so they can hit this price point. And I got a 9.5 d and there not super wide. They actually fit great. I wear a size 11 in vans and a size 10 in 90% of all other boots. I would suggest to go down a half size from your other boot size or a size and a half from your sneaker size. It worked out perfectly for me. You can not get a better boot then these for the price. They are just as good as any pnw boot out there

Get some JK’s brotha 😎 Great customer service over there

[@Valboy380]

​@Illtheillest I hear they're good boots. So many pnw boots branch off into other smaller start up companies and stay around that general area.

[@scottc77]

@@frankielocs yep Tim is a tool, they’ve givin out so many “gift certificates” to shut people up that I’m surprised that they are still in business not to mention that when I took a tour at another shop I met three of his employees who had quit Jk to work for another Spokane company because JK are slave drivers. His shitty hustle, if you pay an extra $100 we’ll put you before other people who are waiting for their boots

[@dude28405]

You’re definitely a smarter man than I am. I destroy boots in eight months or less. The current boots are destroyed. The souls are gone. I’ve only had them since October my doctor and everybody tells me I work too hard for my. It would be nice to work in a clean environment that does it. That doesn’t destroy all your PPE and your body

[@ShutUpBubi]

Get them resoled :)

[@dbmail545]

Listen to what this guy says. He ROTATES two pair of boots. I have chronic athlete's foot and one of the easiest and cheapest ways to mitigate it is to wear a different pair every day so the boots dry out fully between wearings. Two pairs of boots last longer than twice as long as a single pair. Allowing the boots to "recover" between wearings seems to make them last longer.

[@ianmccoy9475]

Hopefully mine show up soon. I ordered them on March 8th and still nothing yet.

[@stillsippingmaithais]

any word on if you got yours yet? i ordered mine on march 15 and still nothing yet either :(

[@ianmccoy9475]

@stillsippingmaithais yea I got mine on June 9th. I'm sure yours will be sent anytime now

[@stillsippingmaithais]

welp just got word that my pair wont be coming in until september, hanging in there but cant say that im not disappointed. hoping you're enjoying yours! im enjoying them vicariously through you 😂

[@ianmccoy9475]

@stillsippingmaithais there worth the wait. Once broken in there the most comfortable boots I've had.

[@jeh966]

Cool boots

[@a26invader111]

Low heat from a heat gun will help wax soak in quickly

[@maxwellhouseranch1004]

Yes, that is an option I prefer to use my hands. I enjoy the feel of the leather.

[@corneliuscrewe677]

@@maxwellhouseranch1004 I have it on good authority from my local cobbler that using your hands generates sufficient heat to let it soak into the leather with the added benefit of zero chance of overheating the leather.

[@jamrogjan1509]

the dye works better before you wax

[@davidbornick531]

The Frank’s Patriot would most certainly able to be be rebuilt. It’s a cost thing. Franks only charges about fifty dollars less for a rebuild than a new pair of boots cost.

[@maxwellhouseranch1004]

On Frank's website, it says they are resoleable, not rebuildable. I'm just going off what the site says. I'm sure they can be rebuilt. However, they are not mentioning that as an option for that boot.

[@jamesdodson9417]

Do you like the 8” or 10” better? I’m wanting these for every day wear “man type work “ and a above freezing hunting boot what would be your wisdom on this subject? Thanks for your hard work love the videos.

[@maxwellhouseranch1004]

I prefer the 10in boots. I love the extra support they provide.

[@Bayville90]

Any word from Kyle baker after going down to Mexico? Is he a partner with Drew’s?

[@maxwellhouseranch1004]

He is one of the owners, and yes he went down and told me that they worked out some stuff and looks like they should be all caught up in about three to 4 weeks. So they are going to be rolling out a lot of boots very soon.

[@sssnrrr]

Thanks for the info

[@Murphey9]

If you wanna tear the nap off your rough use sand sponge . Won’t be rough anymore

[@ShutUpBubi]

Great way to ruin a pair of rough out boots.... The whole point of rough out is the dense nap which protects its against scratches and abrasion

[@gldead3741]

How long after you apply the wax does it take for the boot to lighten up to where it looks like it did in the beginning of this video or does it stay dark ?

[@maxwellhouseranch1004]

The boot lightens up again. It takes a couple weeks. Then the boot looked like it did prior to the video.

[@ShutUpBubi]

A few weeks of work

[@Warshoes]

Referenced this video when cleaning my boots but bought the wrong stuff for the edge dying. I used a “kote” instead of a dye. Should I remove it and get the leather dye?

[@maxwellhouseranch1004]

I think that would be best.

[@scottulrich2725]

Wax stain on the midsoles. Dressing will dry them out.

[@Condor1970]

How would you compare the softness of the White "X" sole compared to the Honey Lug sole? I'm just wondering which is softer for walking on concrete.

[@maxwellhouseranch1004]

They are so similar, I really don't feel there is a difference. I like them both

[@robertstroh4803]

Why didn't you oil them first? Will the wax seal the boots like snow seal?

[@maxwellhouseranch1004]

I oiled my black pair and waxed my brown pair. It's kind of a comparison video on how to do it both ways. Yes ,it will seal them like sno seal

[@alfatih.577]

Sepatu ukuran berapa bro?

@@alfatih.577 are you asking the cost of the boots, or the sizing?
