Some people don't do anything. So basically any shoe will hold up. I have a pair of Vasque hiking shoes that got 4.5 stars on Amazon with 2,500 reviews. They are junk..... I shredded those things to bits in no time. People were saying they hold up for years, idk how. The only way that is possible is if you do nothing. If the longest walk you do is out to the car on your way to McDonalds drive thru, Lugz could last years.

[@bobbyb6012]

I remember back in the 70's / 80's when Timberlands were actually work boots and not a silly fashion statement. The biggest competitors were Dunham's and Herman Survivors, both very similar to Timberlands. You got whichever one was on sale at the time! No one cared!

[@seth_5394]

I get Timberlands in the shop frequently that are falling apart. They are definitely not really work boots any more. Interestingly, the Pro series Timberlands are crappier than the regular ones.

[@kevinomalley1145]

No need to be a boot gatekeeper. People can wear their boots for whatever use they want. Not everyone is wearing boots to jobsites every day and that's ok. Timberland sucks now because they're owned by a multinational corporation thats constantly cutting costs.

[@excessemail2344]

I got a pair of pros with a metatarsal guard, the stitching started falling apart day one. The materials are almost new, yet they are unwearable.

[@strengthandbulkMadness]

I witnessed the genesis of Timberland's becoming Timb's when I was a kid in the Bronx. On the weekends I used to go to rural Pennsylvania and upstate New York. Guys of all ages wore Timberland boots as casual wear instead of sneakers. A few years later they were being worn in New York City along with the Adidas Superstar sneaker.

Sir, you need to check your saw, it buzzes kind of weirdly :))

[@daytoncoates4930]

I’m very glad I purchased my lugz from a goodwill and not somewhere where I’d have paid full price. They’re a pair a steel toe wedge work boots, the fake leather and lack of any gusset makes them bad for spark protection, for some reason they lack a shank, Have essentially zero puncture resistance, and occasionally the fabric on the inside bunches up weird on the steel toe, kinda uncomfortable. I could only really afford cheap boots when I bought them a few months ago, and I’ll probably keep wearing them for the next 6 months or so until they completely wear out, and I’m forced to buy an actual pair of workboots

[@saulstunned744]

You could try to cut Lumberjack boots or Panama Jack to see if the quality is better than Timberland. However they cost over 100$, so they aren't much cheaper.

[@MsJosiejo32]

Oh man that bandsaw killed me

[@eonarts]

I’ve on occasion had to buy cheap boots from target (had trouble affording a certain type of boots to wear to street fairs) for some weird reason they lasted over 10 years (rarely got wet) and were super comfortable walking/standing on the streets for long hours (4-9). Long ago Ross would sell some pretty good boots. I think many were styles that the company was doing some sort of PR on (before everything was computerized). I managed to get some really cool, odd fryes made of really great leather. They survived being resoled! The only Timberland shoes I have are slip on high tops (for some reason high tops can be hard to find in women’s sizes). They are way more supportive and comfortable than my fancy converse (both have similar insoles)…. For boots I save my money and drop $$$$.

[@jimmccoys5778]

Gotta say Weston, i agree with the fake leather statement. It should a law to state whether a shoe is fake or bonded leather compared to full grain actual leather. Companies try to pull this nonsense of constantly and it really burns me up! Back in the day you could tell. But new methods and materials trick consumers now into thinking they are buying a quality item. Happens in way too many products!! Great content as always. And great to hear your boot collaboration was a succes! Cant wait to get mine in a few months!!

Had two pairs of Lugz back around 2015. Both had the soles crack in half within a few months of everyday wear. Lugz replaced the first pair and didn’t bother to respond to my second pair failing.

Back in the day when Rockports were still made in Portugal and had Gore-tex in them a buddy of mine tried to compare his timbers to my boots and a few months later his boots completely fell apart. The sole completely came apart and they were completely hollow. I told him they were just fashion boots but he wouldn't listen. Too bad Rockports have also become a fashion boot 😥.

Finally, a nice KZbinr, what a nice wholesome channel! Love the channel!

[@TheTrashStash]

so those lugz specifically are mimicking timberlands, but some of the other styles of shoes they made (and still make) are really cool. they are specifically aimed at hip hop culture, but to be even more specific, they were kinda going for a chicago r&b type of vibe. like if you look up old 90's music videos of the rap group "do or die" you'll see what im talking about. im sure if you're actually working construction you'll want a better boot, but if you just want some cool shoes for cheap lugz were pretty good!

[@joaoie]

The BHPC "Shank" is definitely a folder fastener, repurposed. I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid, so yeah a kid can bend those easily.

[@ORIGINALDaveB]

I also had a pair of steel toed Irish Setters I bought in 2000. They fit perfectly off the rack. I used to ride in them. After about 12 years I went looking for a new pair and no one had them anymore. I took them with me to a Redwing store and the guy said to me, These are a WWI boot cut. They don't make them like this anymore. I took them to a cobbler and for $100 he re-soled them with a vibram sole. I still got them.

[@adriangreene908398]

Lugz are my favorite boots tbh but maybe when I can afford more expensive boots my opinion will change. But in MD nobody notices or cares if they are real. And I get compliments! I always buy the black boots

Little off-topic, but this is keeping me awake. I think we can use ram pumps to solve the energy crisis. First we build a hollow cylindrical tower out at sea, to a depth of say 1100m. The tower is open to the air at the top and has a sealed base at the bottom. We drill a hole about 20m below the surface and feed water into the tower. The water falls down a pipe for about 200m where it powers a turbine that is connected to an electricity generator. We collect the water and drop it down a pipe for another 200m to another turbine. We do this twice more until we are getting electricity from four generators. We then drop the water another 200m to power a turbine which drives a cog that is geared to turn a disc at the base of the tower. The waste water from the last turbine starts to collect at the bottom of the tower creating a shallow reservoir that we need to pump out. The rotating disc at the base of the tower has cams along its edge. These cams are used to push pistons outwards. These pistons are in cylinders built into the wall in a circular formation. The cylinders are sealed at the interior side apart from where a piston rod enters to push the piston outward. The outside of the piston head is exposed to the deep sea water. The cam will push the piston outward against the high pressure deep sea water. An inlet pipe will take water from our shallow reservoir which will be pulled into the space created in the cylinder, behind the piston head. When the cam releases the piston, the low pressure water inside the cylinder will be the only thing pushing the piston out against the high pressure deep sea water. This is when the system acts as a ram pump. The piston will be forced inward and will force the low pressure water back out through the inlet pipe toward the reservoir. The inlet pipe will now act the same as a waste pipe in a ram pump and the flowing water will shut a waste valve. The remaining water in the cylinder will be forced through a check valve into a pipe and upwards to the surface. The larger the diameter of the tower, the more cylinders that can be built into the wall at the base of the tower. I realise that the ram pump cylinder will pump more of its water back into the reservoir than it sends to the surface but we can always add more cylinders to the system. We can even put another layer of cylinders above the original ones as ram pumps still work underneath shallow water. I think we should be able to pump water upwards at the same rate that it falls into the bottom of the tower and so keep the reservoir nice and shallow. Now, if I understand the maths correctly, we might only be able to pump the water near to the surface. In that case, we can pump the water into a reservoir tank (inside the tower) and use the electricity generated by the first turbine to pump out the tank. This will leave us with 3 generators worth of electricity for every tower built. Would this work? Everyone, please comment.

I owned a pair of Lugz back in the year 2000 when I was 19 years old. Real genuine leather, very comfortable, warm, water resistant, and I got many years of wear out of them, on almost a daily basis. Fast forward 19 years, to the year of our good lord, in 2019. Bought my second pair of Lugz. I didn't even get many DAYS of good wear out of them, much less, many good years. MOF I believe they were the same exact model you just reviewed, and I bought them from Ross, "Dress for Less." Dress for less alright....dress for less time to wear them. If memory serves me the first sole fell off, after about a week. Notice I said the "first" sole. Oh yes, that's right, I tried to glue it back on with contact cement, and get my $50 out of them. It wasn't until the second sole came off, and left me standing barefoot in the wet street, that I started to think that maybe that wasn't going to happen after all.
