Ranking the Cowboy Boots I Tried in 2023 (Worst to First!)

[@weaponizedham826]

fun fact about the thursday cowboy boot, is that in actuality it was done as a favor to one of their designers who was retiring and had been requesting thursday make a cowboy boot for years. i dont think it was a cash grab i think it was more of a misunderstanding of the target market

[@olvera6710]

That BNV looks beautiful, the navy ostrich is special. The JW boot was also beautiful and looked really well finished. Great video!

[@davidwilkinson1037]

Great video! I always love your yearly lists. Keep up the great work and I wish you and your family happy holidays!

[@LauraKnotek]

I'm looking forward to your 2024 boot ranking.

[@mentalkboots]

The Tony Lamas at #3 look pretty sweet. And the BNV boots at #1 sure are eye-catchers!

[@christinamuller1741]

Hey J, love your 2023 review. I have found some wonderful boots secondhand. Thank you so much for putting that out there. I hope you guys can put together a video for women’s boots. I am still determined to find a high-quality boot that is extremely durable for barn work and riding. They are just doesn’t seem to be a lot of options out there for women, especially if you are looking for a high-quality boot with a spurs shelf. so far my favorites are double H, then secondly Tony Lama. Thanks again for always putting out such great videos wishing you a wonderful holiday.

[@MoMan.88]

Hell yeah brother, awesome video, great lineup of boots and a nice job on ranking them!!

[@AvengerM1]

Great video and a great summary of the pros and cons of each boot.

[@JacobMatlock]

I got a bench made boot from Ariat and they are amazing! They are an oil tanned roughout boot and i also have the chisos number one both great boots and i love wearing them both!

[@jimcollins9999]

Excellent 2023 rankings! I'd say you nailed the order of ranking perfectly JC. Jose Chavez @bnv boots are the boot to beat, if they can be! 👍

[@evelynmueller6523]

Thanks Jeremiah, always look forward to this list!

[@finylin]

I love these yearly ranking videos! These and the jeans of the year vid are always great. Thanks!

[@SuburbanVaquero]

I love your videos dude!! Love that you rep upstate NY too! Can you please try out the beatmaster rough stock boots! I just got a pair and I need someone else to try them too! They’re sooooo good! Traditionally made too!

[@blakewilkerson9695]

Bro… I wore some Durango rebels to work in for years…. And lasted me for years… good boots and very light weight…

[@smackdadious]

Pretty much agreed with all of that. Funny I'm wearing my BNV JC boots today! Great vid as always man!

[@RobertLinthicum]

Great revue. Interesting that Tecovas didn't make any lists. I live in a high-crime area now, so have to put my boots away for a while. I need to be able to fight and run, and can't do either in cowboy boots.

[@clydebennett3287]

Coming for the top spot next year J Craig!

[@tommybriceno7846]

Great as always, have you tried stingray boots yet? I don’t think you have, they’re awesome very durable and stylish

[@JDSasso]

Love that tee shirt. Any chance of a restock on your website?

[@WesternWearEnthusiast]

Well it’s that time of year again. Time to find out where companies ranked on your list for 2023. Another well done video, JC.

[@yassinelaouar5614]

Hi Jeremiah 😊I love this type of boots cowboy ❤❤❤

[@stephenmoses8587]

Great Video Jeremiah!The Lesser Known Boot Brands don't seem to have the Qaulity & fit compared to the Well Known brands,I do agree with you on the Last pair & Look forward to seeing more from this brand,How many more pairs have you Purchased or Acquired this year Jeremiah?Also you have some Great Second hand purchases again this year!!Keep up the Good Work & Continue Enjoying wearing them all,Not Enough Days in the year for you😊

[@scottwexlin6456]

I’m about to order my third pair of JW boots. They’re just super great quality, a really competitive price

[@willtrax71]

The giant white Crosses are horrible but the Boot looks nice. Waiting for the 2024 lineup.

[@tedwilliams765]

Great video!!

[@bentoucourt]

Number 3 looks amazing !

[@eduardoenriquez5701]

I will be happy to provide a pair of El Malcreado boot for review, even custom made.

[@rios1111]

Great honest video. Love to see a video on boots similar to Marshall Dillon's boots from Gunsmoke

[@terryshrives8322]

I had those exact same Tony llamas in 1990. It was one tough ass boot

[@auzzie4435]

As someone who owns a pair of Durango rebel boots with American flag I liked them a lot they are light weight comfortable I don’t use them for work so I can’t tell you how they hold up but for a boot to go out in for a night on the town I would recommend they are comfortable and lightweight which is what I like the most about them

[@jeffcastellanos4706]

What do you think of Cody James boots

[@Thorsmite]

Damn, bro!! Those Tony Lama wingtips rock!!

[@Boots_and_Barrio]

those BNV boots are where its at! did you get them custom made? I bet you did. Awesome stuff JC!

[@frenchfan3368]

I was surprised to hear anything about Justin boots. What are your overall thoughts about Justin boots?

[@brunswickworks]

Love the look of the Fegnolio boots but the BNV boots are awesome! I can't wait to get my own pair of BNV Boots!

[@truckgp7078]

Careful with BNV. I received a very shotty product.

[@brunswickworks]

Thanks for the insight.

[@thomascrompton7775]

Ever try el sierra boots from Mexico. Started buisness in 2003 not sure if in buisness anymore but I just picked up a new pair in box.

[@black79montecarlo123]

Hey Jeremiah, another great video! In regards to the Twisted X boot insoles, may I make a suggestion? Next time you review a pair say lumpfort instead of comfort lol.

[@rajveeramachaneni2460]

Give us some feedback on ML.Leddys boots.

[@clydebennett3287]

Fantastic video.

[@DanBCooper]

That's odd on the Chiso's squeaking. I bought some #2's a couple years ago or more, wear the absolute crap out of them, no squeaks at all. My coworker got some #2's recently this year, no squeaks either. Anyways awesome vid JC !

[@Red_right_hand1]

Great video bro and im a tin haul boots guy

[@CHEVY7223]

Any pointers on finding boots for us big guys with wide calves? What’s a good brand or style to check into ?

[@richdepuy1754]

I knew what number 1 was going to be out of the gate. I might've ranked the Escambia boots a little higher, but that's probably because I love my Cervantes lol

[@mitchherrick1]

Pardon the question, if I missed it. Which boot did chisos tie for comfort?

[@bradleyb9424]

Could you review a pair of captain boots please? I’ve seen them all over instagram the last couple of months and love the look of some but I haven’t seen any reviews on them

[@robertburey4704]

I have 3 pairs. They are good for the price. However, they are not true to size. I have boots from 12 different makers and I am and have been for over 40 years a size 10 D. With Capitan I have to drop a full size and if I want to wear them without the insole, as I prefer, I drop a full size and a half. 10 D on me look like clown boots, their that huge.

[@rexhargrove5172]

Jeremiah, I want to agree with the boots you selected but so few come in a size 14-D. Is there anyone out there reviewing boots for big guys?

[@BHFDBHFD]

Great video what do you think is best composite toe cowboy boot for work

[@brianpowers3814]

Love my Chisos No. 2 boots as they are the best.

[@kenarcher2292]

what is "rowdy leather" as found in Ariat boots

[@oleboy4332]

Cool reviews! What about tecovas? Seems a glaring omission so I’m curious why

[@JeremiahCraig]

I've included them in previous lists. None of their boots fit well and I can't put my feet through that every year

[@JosueAguilar-xh1fs]

U should do a Hyer boot review been wanting to get me a pair but want to see reviews first

[@Jesse-t4z]

Any opinion on Lucchese? I am not talking about working in. I am talking about dress boots. I own 2 pairs and my wife own 2 pairs for going out in. In my opinion they are the most comfortable boots but too expensive to work in. My wife and I have Ariats to work in the yard with but nothing I tried compares to the fit, feel, comfort of Lucchese.

[@fififornow8031]

Those Tony lamas are so nice

[@sailingneil]

It's almost Christmas with JCs annual list

[@robertpatterson3406]

What is your opinion on Tecovas ?

[@codyparden9615]

I love the JW Tan boots

[@jgarcom8]

Hey Jeremiah, I bought a pair of made in Mexico ariats called the “standout” and they really surprised me and I liked em. You should check em out.

[@msdragon8504]

Question..I have been trying to find these Tony lama stamped b7449. There is a number 2 stamped in the boot also they are stamped made in the usa. I got them in an estate sale. I can not fimd any information on these boots. Would you anything about these boots? Thank you very much.

[@FreedomKat]

I like me last place rebel flag Durangos lol. Although its my first. I am wanting a black Ariat boot next.

[@markredfield6664]

Yo jeremiah have you ever try a brand called pistolero boots?

[@GoatzombieBubba]

Thursday Boots Durangos were designed by a person with D width and he says they dont have enough people to make EE sizes.

[@Simply_redheads]

45. ML Hennessey. Vsop 30 ML honey syrup 30 ML lemon juice Three pieces of ginger top the glass with soda, water or water four drops angostura bitter one cinnamon stick

[@josezanella1596]

Where you buy 2nd hand boots?

[@davidthornton9259]

need good contact info for BNV please

[@KrisMoreno-uk9to]

Boot @ 0:07 and I love my Durango rebels

[@yes_man212]

My rebels have lasted some pretty hard work over the years had them for 7 years now and they have held up great the fake leather is flaking away but overall it’s held up wonderfully for a 75 dollar pair of boots

[@dfcvda]

oh I forgot to say, I`m an enthusiast cowboy boot lover in England but I have not heard of any of these.

[@art_n5x]

I agree with the Thursdays, I love their other boots but these suck

[@LoganMusser-vt9hd]

I have a pair of darangoses and thy are amazing

[@kevinsanchez7452]

Do a review of thorogood new square toe

[@MissingLinkMTB]

I think we'll agree to disagree on the Thursdays as they fit me great and are wearing well a year later. I do understand your other gripes about them, especially sizing, especially since they still haven't offered width sizing. Perhaps this is what they're used to in their customer base as they don't seem to offer width's in any of their offerings.

[@saucyg6371]

Agreed. I suppose it could be argued it’s a lazy design, but really I think they played it safe. It is built really well, moreso than half of the others above it. I do understand the sizing issue. In terms of DTC, Tecovas square toe was easy fit to find after 1 exchange. Their chelsea was fine without needing to exchange, but their cartwright is now on its second exchange

[@Orr_s]

I saw rose anvil channel review the Thursdays as actually half decent for theyre first try and for the price and comparing materials to others. And his reviews are very extensive,well thought out and executed. And of course boots always cut in half to check build quality and materials

[@k5blazernut485]

You are completely wrong

[@MissingLinkMTB]

@@k5blazernut485 who's wrong? on what? what basis are you making this argument? I own two pair of Thursdays with my first out getting a new set of top lifts...

[@cjackson8290]

Thursday Boots are made especially for those financially challenged folks….Po Boy Boots💯

[@Mishanw]

No Tecovas ? I love them.. way better than Chisos right out the box

[@yunghernando3946]

Insane to think he rated thursdays last because they have one width… no mention of the full leather heel stack. Quality of leather or the value you get for $235. The Thursday boots are by no means the best cowboy boots. But for the money, you’ll be hard pressed to find the quality of leather and full leather heel stack.

[@joemacaro3715]

Do you own any vacarri exotics?

[@CrazyForCountryMusic]

Love the way those tony lamas look. Traditional made cowboy boots will always have my heart

[@tigersaint124]

No 2024 video?

[@ichicolla]

you should try mexican brands thursday is one of the lowest quaality if you compare it with brands like el malcreado, chicho boots, indomables boots, all hand made

[@AshutoshsinghSurah-o3j]

i m from india and i love cowboy style

[@CVEIWKID]

Durango are the best boots I've ever had

[@jamesblackwood667]

No chisos? 😢

[@blisterbill8477]

I don’t think the Durango brand is very good. Unfortunately, my feet don’t do well with any other brand. I’m guessing it’s a wide, flat last that is similar to being barefoot. I’ve worn a dozen other brands over more than 50 years and they all have been painful and even damaging to my feet. That’s after 8 years in the infantry. It’s not like I’m new to blisters, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, torn tendons, or walking off toenails. After the first 5000 miles or so, you’re going to know what works. Sometimes your feet won’t like what’s popular.

[@carlomarino6682]

Good song cowboy

[@CapnHilts]

Tecovas not even ranked?

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

Tacovas???

[@JeremiahCraig]

I've stopped reviewing Tecovas since they don't make a size that fits me but in previous years that are in the lower mid part of the rankings

[@fil.guijarro]

First place goes to El Paso knowhow 🎉🎉🎉

[@truckgp7078]

BNV boots absolutely suck! I sent Jose my measurements and told him what I wanted. I get the boots and they did not fit in the foot and the shafts were huge. (Even though I gave him all measurements) There was edge dressing smeared on the leather and the heels were not the same. VERY POOR QUALITY

[@chriram25]

Wow, this is the first time I hear a bad comment towards BNV. You should contact Jose and see about getting those issues corrected. If he does not make it right, let me know. I was planning on ordering a pair, but I won't if they don't stand behind their products.

[@Randy-1967]

Chisos is out of my price range

[@EDHBlvd]

Man I dislike Thursday so much. Everything they make is gross.

[@duanewalter1208]

I love boots but can't find a good fit.

[@EO1025]

Meh some good ones in there but mostly dressy boots 👎🏼

[@citiestoash]

Can’t stand Thursday boots. I don’t like getting cowboy boots from store made for hipsters and not the working man. My humble opinion

[@adinahirschmann3112]

All of my boots are used boots..

[@zulusheksta1985]

Please do not sing, it sounds awful. Keep doing great boots reviews!!

[@juliochingaling5824]

Excellent video.
