If your favorite brand didn't make the list please remember I'm a one man show so I do videos on whatever boots I can get my hands on. I look forward to trying your favorite brands in the future. Please see timestamp 01:05. If you'd like me to review a specific brand in the future please email me at [e-mail] or let your favorite boot brand know about my channel and that you'd like to see me do a video of them! Thanks for watching everyone! Happy 2021!

[@carlosmontana8840]

I'm the great grandson of C H Hyer some give him credit for making the first cowboy boot in America, having said that I was really impressed by your choice, first of all it's a B width, most people don't understand how boots fit. Second was the fact that it was a Nacona boot. My father ran the Hyer boot company for years and knee more about fit and boot making than anyone I know of , he had a store in California and sold lots of different brands but mostly he sold fit. He would always tell me that Nacona boots were probably the best boots from a quality of workmanship, in the store. Nacona was run by Enid Justin he always spoke highly of her. Anyway you got my respect on your choice. I wear Olathe boots but the last few pairs aren't holding up. They are the most comfortable but just don't last .

[@nateyoung6331]

Thanks Dude great rundown. Chisos 5&1 have been on my radar. ThatRanch Road Walker looks awesome!

Great run down! Love that you throw the used boots in there. I've always been a firm believer in the used market. Guitars, boots, be patient and you can find some amazing deals.

There's much out there that's in great shape and only slightly used! It's a great market for sure. Thanks for watching Bryan!

Just ordered a pair of the JW Ostrich. What a gorgeous boot. Used your promo code too. New Subscriber, by the way. This will be my first pair of Western boots in 25 years. Had a couple pairs back in the early 90s, but donated them to Goodwill as I stopped wearing them. Recently have been thinking about a new pair, and these JWs are the way to go!

[@smackdadious]

I believe I got my Nocona boots this year and they fit me so perfectly it steered me away from me from getting other boots because I knew they would not fit as well haha. I also like what you were doing with your vocals at the end, a bit more serious tone that I like and a bit lower and less bright tones. anyway, lets hope to a great 2021 for boots

[@JeremiahCraig]

Thanks buddy! Gotta love those older Noconas. The fit is just do good for a factory boot

I have a pair of Durango Boots , and I absolutely love them , I've worn them every day since I got them in 1987 , from America and they look like I just pulled them off the shelf in the store.

[@AmericanCajunPride]

The red Chisum boots blew my mind as I have a pair of 30 year old Dan Post calfskin boots in light tan made that exact same way. Same pattern, same stitching, everything. First copy of that pattern I've ever seen. Cool.

[@JeremiahCraig]

Laredo makes a boot just like it these days too. Love the style!

[@speedy_g_345]

Your advice about gently used boots 👢 is right on the money. My last 2 pairs were used. Mainly I find folks are ordering the wrong size, and can't return them. So I'm picking up 5, 6, 7 hundred dollar boots for 1 to 2 hundred and they've been worn once or not at all. The seller's are thrilled to unload their boots they can't wear. Win win 🙌 😆

[@JeremiahCraig]

Truth! It's such a great way to get great boots at an awesome price

[@WesternWearEnthusiast]

What an interesting line up for 2020!!! It would be a very interesting video if you did a ranking of the boots you tried over the last two years. You have done a terrific job even with COVID-19 throwing in a big curveball and not letting you do your quick in store impressions. Looking forward to a fantastic 2021.

That's a good idea. Maybe I'll make an overall ranking page on my website so I can update it frequently. You are awesome Carol. Thanks so much for all of your support this year. It's been so encouraging!

[@awkreutter]

Great Video!! Thanks Jeremiah!

[@Homerbub]

A good cowboy boot is all leather, inside and out. The sole can be something else. A all leather boot is cooler as well. Your feet won’t sweat as much. You usually get what you pay for. A good pair of cowboy boots that fit well will feel like house shoes.

[@JeremiahCraig]

Truth!!

[@sandroramos1982]

What are some good brands?

[@Scott-hb1xn]

I love my Nocona boots... I have two pair, both bought used, and they are excellent!

[@gary-pv8vz]

Great recap, helpful to see your comparisons. I also appreciate the honesty in saying ...if you’ve got narrow feet...etc. I can understand how it effects your rankings. I’d like to see a head to head between Ranch Road and Sendra. Same same quality and it’s just a style difference or is there something more fundamental happening? Enjoy yourself! Take care everyone. Hold your loved ones whenever you can, speak gently when stuff goes wrong, celebrate when things go right.

[@JeremiahCraig]

Thanks Gary! I can't wait to try Sendra. Hopefully I get the chance next year. Have a happy holidays and a great new year!

[@TheGipper4prez]

I would LOVE for you to review more popular womens boot brands (I know you can't wear them but even going over the brand, construction, price point, new releases, etc). Boots brands like Corral, Lucchese, Old Gringo, Liberty Black, Durangos, Lane/Junk Gypsy (loved your one review of these!), Dan Post etc. There is really no one on KZbin doing that and it would be well followed by every one I know! 💜 PNW Cowgirl

Dude - noticed your #1 -- if you like that - then you WILL LOVE the Nocona Oily Toro - OMG! bought a pair about 9 years ago - they don't make em anymore - so you'll have to look for used - but they are the best looking non-exoctic boot I've ever owned and feel like a glove on your foot - and tough as bull hide --

[@JeremiahCraig]

I'll have to keep my eyes open on ebay for a pair! Thanks for the heads up! Those old Nocona boots are epic

[@geslinam9703]

My favorite boots of this year are cheapo Durango boots that have composite (vinyl?) soles and a striped, painted on stacked heel! They sound horrible, but I just love the way they look - if you don’t look too closely. The perfect tan color, and a snip toe, but the toe is more rounded than pointy. I just love the shape of them. I love them so much I’d buy a back up pair if Durango still made them.

[@JeremiahCraig]

Nice! Brynna tried one of those boots this year too I think. They do look great! Just like you said. What an awesome favorite to have this year!

My favorite boots are Dan post boots. These are the best boots I've ever owned, especially my snip toe boots. My second favorite is my ariat boots, and even though I wear a 9.5, I had to buy a 10 in ariat because the 9.5 was too tight and the 10 was slightly larger, but more comfortable

[@noahguy562]

*Do more Double-H reviews please!!!* I love their boots, everything about them!! They are my favorite boot maker!! I am a Welder I wear them every day and they stand up to so much wear and tear. In fact I wore them today while running the fourwheeler in the snow!! MAN I LOVE THESE BOOTS!! I personally have the DH5305 and The DH5400!! I prefer the color scheme of the DH5305 but the DH5400 is a beautiful boot as-well and both perform perfectly for hard working situations and daily wear!!

I have been wearing cowboy boots since I was age 4. That was 80 years ago. The Nocona boots you reviewed are the only ones that had a steel sole shank and wooden sole pegs and rounded toes.. That means they are the only ones that can be called "traditional" cowboy boots.

[@orlog3343]

The chisos have those too! Gotta respect makers who keep it traditional

I got a pair of Noconas in the reptile/snakeskin lowers and leather uppers boots. They appear all original and very lightly worn. They look just like the pair redone on the channel here by the 2 young cobbler guys who redo rather nice shoes and some boots. Mine are 7.5D size likely from the 1990s.... I am taking a guess.

Those vegan boots are the worst!

[@joesavedbygrace838]

Jeremiah, asked your friend Nick to do a particular type of review, and thought i'd run it by you as well. I want a new pair of comfortable boots, which for me means lined with no exposed seams. Soft leather that is comfortable right out of the box, and at a price point of $300 dollars or less. They will be worn with both jeans and slacks. The brand is not as important to me as all day comfort. My local boot store carries a lot of cheap boots that are anything but comfortable, and more expensive exotic boots like ostrich. Nothing in stock in the 200 to 300 dollar range. Rios is out of my size and color until November. Saw some less than stellar reviews on the Tecovas, but also some good ones. I'm guessing there is quite a few companies that could meet the aforementioned criteria, plus a Western heel, prefer a round or medium round toe, size 12D. Just thought, instead of waiting for a review, do you have any recommendations? Thanks. Joe.

[@JeremiahCraig]

Hey Joe, Rujo has boots like that if you're looking for something that's not Tecovas. I can't fit in Tecovas but Rujo works for me. Here's my video on Rujo kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ6waIWparl6fKs

Jeremiah, I didn't notice any Tecovas making your list. Did you not consider any of their boots as good as the others?

[@JeremiahCraig]

Tecovas made the list last year! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2Ozk4RmnNZoodE They are above average and hover around the 7 to 5 spots for me

[@williamthompson9261]

Hay Jeremiah! I'm just curious. I read your reviews! It does seem that the market is diverse and you should be too. I own 2 pairs of Tecovas, which are nice boots at a fair price, but there are alot of really nice looking boots out there and some new companies emerging with good products at good prices too. I'm getting an education on fine products, thanks to you! Keep up the good work! Billy T. In Alabamy

[@williamthompson9261]

Keep up the good work. I've learned alot from you. I have 2 pair of Tecovas and may get more. The market out there appears to be good and very competitive. Nothing like that smell of good leather! That's a lifelong love for me! Billy T. In Alabamy

Can you review Cody James boots

Question regarding Boulet boots and the Canadian sizing. Boulet says go down half a size because they run big. I wear a 12d.. I bought some Boulet's 11 1/2.. has it been anyone's experience that you actually have to go down a whole size? Because the 11 1/2 seem a little big still.. I like Boulet quality, but I insist that they fit right.

[@JeremiahCraig]

I've had to go down a whole size on french toe boots or wide square from Boulet but only when coming from a round toe. An 11D Tony Lama medium round toe works the same as a 10E Boulet french toe for me because there's just more room in a french toe shape. But 11D Tony Lama round toe is a 10.5E Boulet round toe for me. If you have a preferred toe shape I'd say try their half size rule and make sure to choose a similar toe shape as your other boots

[@JeremiahCraig]

Also if it seems big then it probably is so don't be afraid to ignore their recommendations for what you find most comfortable

[@d.sandell2555]

Thanks for getting back that's good information.. I was looking to get a wide square toe from Boulet next..Thanks!

@@JeremiahCraig l still think that you should have your foot measured and get the boot in that size . If the boot company doesn't carry them or won't special order them , find a company that does . I just got my first pair of Olathes and am looking forward to wearing them . Please do a review on them sometime. I have been wearing boots for over 50 years . The traditional made boots are the best . Glad you picked the Noconas as your first pick . That being said,why didn't the Dan Posts place higher ?

Hey, I'm about 5'3-5'4 and wear a 7 1/2 tennis shoes. What size boot would you recommend its my 1st time buying boots

[@nationwidemac]

I wear 10.5 in tennis shoes and wear a 10 in boots. Its best to try them on though. Different brands fit a little different

[@noahguy562]

The best thing to do is go to a boot store and ask for help. This person should be able to guide you in finding a comfortable well fitting boot. Just remember that the leather on your boots will from to your foot and loosen up over time, do not buy a boot that is to loose, especially on the in step. For a pair of boots I would recommend Double-H boots especially their square toes because not only are they steel toed boots but they give your toes some wiggle room.

[@JeremiahCraig]

Hi Alex! It's tough to make a recommendation because there are so many factors that go into it. The best thing to do is what others here have suggested. Go to a store, get sized by a pro and try on a lot of boots till you know what you like. If you can't do that I have some other tips here at this video but trying on boots at a store is always your best bet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4TYmIaZa7CFhbs
