I love the idea of all these collabs but my biggest problem is that they're to expensive for me, it'd be cool if you did a colab that had a boot as durable as possible while keeping the price low, Jim green seems ideal but they might be harder to colab with

[@y.a.pthered]

If u ever do collab with Jim Green I hope it's affordable for your South African friends down here 😅that exchange rate is not kind to us.

[@daddykarlmarx6183]

@@y.a.pthered oh is Jim green expensive over there? I know the exchange rate is more favorable to us but I wouldn't imagine them being more expensive than Red Wings are in the us

[@y.a.pthered]

@@daddykarlmarx6183 no no Jim Greens is way affordable, it's these other collabs that are way out of budget. They're already pricey but the exchange rate just constantly dips which makes things worse

Hell, even Danner might be a slightly less costly option

I had no clue you had this channel, but I'm super glad that this video popped up into my feed. I'm only at the beginning of my boot adventures, but your channel has been an amazing resource for learning and I'm glad to see how excited you are about this collab like a true nerd. Keep on keepin' on.

I'm more of a dress boot guy but there's so much leather on that boot I can't help but love it.

[@kinderwaff]

Weston is loving working on the collabs so much, and I love to see it

[@iHustleLXXXI]

I'm a big fan of yours. I'm in my early 40's so you're much younger than me and I don't usually sub to many channels because I think it's stupid but your humility is unmatched and I appreciate how humble you are because it is because of people like your subs that make your channel a success. Of course, you put out great content but a few months ago, I did not know who you were and I'm glad I know you a bit more now. Thanks for all that you do! I wished I saw this sooner. I just got into gywed boots and I'm on TBC boots because I work from home full-time and I can't imagine paying anything more than $300 for a pair of boots but I have two pairs of Captains. One in Classic Black and then another in Arizona adobe. A black and brown pair. The classic is for more dressy occasions and my AA's are for daily use and kicking shit around. If I was still working in an office I may be able to justify spending so much on a pair of boots but it would still be challenging. $600-700 is a lot of money to spend on boots. I'm not a cheap person either. I bought a Herman Miller Embody which is a $1700 chair and a $1000 s/s desk but those I can justify since I work from home but a pair of boots when I barely leave the house is a harder pill to swallow especially since my wife and I only leave the house on weekends and to go shopping when we're off. Anyways, tmi, I know but I figured I would explain where I'm coming from. If I had the money to blow I would buy any of your collabs in a hot second but after my dream boot from Carmina. lol.

[@bl8danjil]

5:35 I don't have a problem with bear hunting or any hunting. Not sure why anyone that watches a channel on leather goods made from animal skin would have a problem with that though. Some are beneficial like the hunting of invasive wild pig in the USA. It's just poachers, illegal hunting, that are the problem. Back to the boots, I love the idea of a knife and stash pocket on a boot. It's different.

[@littlejackalo5326]

They are losers at life. They think bears are cuddly little rare animals that will go extinct if they're hunted sustainably. They are the same people that are cool with buying trash meat at the store and feeding their kids McDonald's, but wouldn't harvest a deer to have meat for an entire 6 months. They truly lose at every aspect of life. It's so sad to see, because they're so content with being losers.

[@danwood5491]

I just ordered these yesterday. Less than 30 left. I have nicks builder pro, I hope I like these.

I got my Drifters this week and I absolutely love them! Thank you for this collab!

[@red_eye_diy]

I love this long format, personally! Getting to know why some decisions were made over others, the inspirations, etc are all really interesting to me and it gives me an appreciation for the products that I didn’t have before.

[@noone3734]

The White's construction actually doesn't have much in common with a Goodyear welt, or a handsewn flat welt. It's really a 270° handsewn rolled-welt norvegese construction, or that's what I've been calling it. If I ever make another pair of boots, I'm going to ditch the traditional chain-stitch, which is normally used on Norwegian constructed boots, and try a 360° handsewn rolled-welt norvegese construction; because it hides the Norwegian stitch under a layer of leather (the rolled down welt), which makes the boots more water-resistant, and the welt becomes another layer of the stitch-down, adding to the durability of the boot. It's really an awesome addition to a Norwegian construction, and I'm grateful it exists, and is still done by White's. Also, the holdfast in the leather insole is cut by hand, so there's no canvas gemming, which makes for a really tough pair of boots; very impressive.

[@RoseAnvil2]

I go over it in a lot more depth in the main cut in half video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqu1m6Ker8efpLc

[@noone3734]

The best thing about these boots is the unstructured "square-jawed" toe; looks so cool. Soft toe is the way to go for boots.

[@daddykarlmarx6183]

Well for style anyways, steel toe is a must if you do a lot of construction work imo

[@noone3734]

@@daddykarlmarx6183 do you think it's a must because it actually keeps workers safe, or is it only a must because they are required for certain jobs? Would you still want a steel toe if you weren't forced to comply with OSHA's regulations?

[@LightYagami-rz6su]

I own 3 construction businesses with my family and steal toes are not the way to go. I hate them and so do all of my employees. And OSHA can F off with my business affairs!

Good looking and well thought out boot. I.like the full explanation of the process. Great job.

[@tarasmathers7423]

Weston, these are the types of videos that I love from you. Design inspiration. Historic tutorial on the background and current day position in the market, of a brand as important and well respected, as White's. For a true "boot-head/leather-head" White's is the real deal. Docu-series like these are the foundation of that appreciation. Sharing the beauty of this craft. The intensity of the manufacturing process, and the strength and skill required to produce items of this caliber. Every bit of the process, truly deserving of our respect. Please keep up the great work. Cheers....🥃

[@SatsuRyu]

I placed my order in last Thursday. This is the first time I'm getting into one of your boot collabs and a White's! This all rounder boot looks awesome and I can't wait to see them.

[@RoseAnvil2]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@zacharyphelan]

I'm ready for the next colab with whites specifically. I still own a pair from my days firefighting straight out of high school! I'm ready for my second pair.

[@kubrah779]

If only I seen these 4 months ago. Love the collab. These look amazing

[@Robbajohn]

Congrats on another great collab. These look kinda like the Whites Farmer/Rancher but 10" and red dawg. This is a very nicks like naming scheme where for instance a 10" and 8" of a boot style have a whole different name. That said, these are fantastic. Im not a fan of the more packer boot style and would have been more at home with an nd1 or nd2 but the quality is undeniable. My Perrys have lasted great for over a year now and i dont see them wearing out any time soon. They need another clean and condition but whites makes a damn good boot, even the less expensive goodyear welt ones.

[@robertsandgren9389]

Beautiful boots! I particularly enjoyed the discussion on lasts. Way too many boots are built for people with almond-shaped feet. It's useful to get an impression of which feet a given boot might fit best.

[@kzookid545]

I really like the design and versatility of this boot. Fingers crossed another collab is in the works because I missed that one.

[@RyTrapp0]

First, LOOOOVE the color of that leather! The add-on pocket kit is pretty damn cool. Great looking boot, I dig the collab! Second, I will say I'm definitely not the target market for boots like these(done with construction, lol). I don't know if you're ever going to do another collab boot that's more shop oriented, but I would really be into that. Shorter height, lighter weight, lower heel rise, but still a high quality build & construction that I can beat up and scuff up out in the shop(doing race car stuff these days) for years. Maybe a softer sole too for those long days standing on concrete; because it'll be resoleable, so that's a fair trade-off for a long term work boot for this use. Would definitely be interested in something like this, and I think a lot of others would be too.

[@zoe2ron]

I just got my pair of these boots. Love them. Just out of the box have worn them for 15 hour days. I didn't get the pockets for the knife and cards. Good Job great boots.

[@Deadseelife]

got my pair! thanks for the help yesterday!

[@sackman1886]

Hopefully you guys do another run of these. I would 100% buy these. For a high-arch last, the 4811 looks much nicer than the Nicks 55 or 11067 in my opinion. I know that's subjective, but these look incredible.

[@brandonspencer7244]

I would love a rose anvil moc toe so much. I’ve been looking into getting a pair to wear everyday

[@Gator-357]

I thought I was the only one that put pockets and pouches on my boots. I first did this back in the mid 80s to have an extra place for a knife and I also sewed a leather holster on the outside for mt Beretta Jetfire backup ti my edc concealed carry. I run a small bead of silicone around the stitch holes before sewing to help with waterproofing

[@TristanBanwell]

Oh yeah bud - I finally got mine today! Fit awesome, arch is incredible, great leather. I can't wait to get them out on the ranch.

[@sergioadriannunez8884]

[@russellthechemist8291]

White's look like amazing high quality boots. I wish the company had a presence in the UK.

[@phymat1]

Imo a daily versatile boot needs to be a 6" boot. Once you get much taller than that you begin to make it a chore to put on and take off and so it inevitably loses some versatility

[@Totemparadox]

In my opinion 6" is too short especially with thick leather. That shaft just doesn't like to break in like taller boots. 8" is perfect for me.

[@ryaniam22]

​@@TotemparadoxWell I think a 6 inch boot is more versatile. But 8 inch is livable. Why wouldn't a 6 inch boot break in as well as an 8 incn?

[@Totemparadox]

@@ryaniam22 Leverage. The shaft being taller on an 8 or 10 inch boots means you need less force to crease the leather in the ankle area. In the end both will feel the same but a taller boot just breaks in faster at the ankle area.

[@usmnt4423]

I was thinking through it and was like, “yeah they’re cool but not really for me and I think my girlfriend would lynch me for even thinking of spending so much for a pair of boots.” Then you got to the stash pocket and I was just struck by how genius it is.

I’m going to order builder pros with the dogger heal even though I don’t really want or need the vibram 100 soles.

Anyways I doubt it's what you want but I got a pair of weatherproof boots that are pretty good, waterproof, a little leather (mostly rubber upper). My feet are always dry and frankly sweaty even in sub 20 degrees, oh and they have some heavy duty treads, the only problem is they aren't a boot you'll have your whole life, they're well made for what they are don't get me wrong but they can't be resoled and there's a lot of synthetic materials
