Ranking My Japanese Boot Collection | Visvim

[@Protinagi]

Awesome video man! Recently got the 7 hole 73 Folk boots myself and I've been very very happy with them. The boots are my first Visvim piece too!

[@vsvm_pioneer]

That’s what’s up! What year and color?

[@Protinagi]

@@vsvm_pioneer Got the SS 17 Beige ones. Dunno what I got myself into man, now I'm planning a Japan trip just to get more pieces from Visvim LOL.

[@vsvm_pioneer]

Hahaha same here! The 2017 release was nice!

[@TheXener1]

Tu coleccion es impresionante, aqui en mexico es aun mas complicado poder conseguir unas de esas, gracias por mostrar tu coleccion

[@vsvm_pioneer]

Muchas gracias, no es el más grande ni el más exclusivo, pero intento comprar lo que me gusta. Es difícil conseguir algunas cosas de ICT, pero creo que la ciudad de México tiene un distribuidor que vende visvim. Agradezco su apoyo positivo!

[@AlexTrinh93]

I really love the story telling time! It makes me feel like I was there with you in spirit!!

[@vsvm_pioneer]

Thank you Alex!

[@Littleman_Tigger]

I love your version of the 7 Hole, it has the best damage processing much better than the stock photo version.

[@vsvm_pioneer]

Thank you, I think I prefer the stock photo one lol

[@calbreeze5990]

Great video as always. So glad you posted the Kainai boots since no one else has, one of my favorites from Visvim also. It’s impossible to find a 12 now

[@vsvm_pioneer]

Thank you for checking out the video and for sure you should try and buy them if you can. They’re criminally underrated. I’ll maybe do a more thorough video of them in the coming months:

[@alexperez3651]

Sick collection! You ever consider any Pacific NorthWest brands like Nicks and Whites and others? Or are you specifically going for a Vis collection? Interested to see the rest of your collection. Super dope seeing their pieces in more detail. You’re great on camera too man, keep it up

[@vsvm_pioneer]

Thank you Alex, I appreciate the kinds words and feedback. It always feels unnatural for me to talk to the camera, but glad the videos are enjoyable lol I honestly have been diving into visvim pretty heavily. The boots make up a minority in my collection. I have considered nick’s, whites, wesco, and have been watching a lot of content surrounding PNW brands. I’ve considered other brands too like John Lofgren, attractions, RDT, moto(r), but haven’t gotten around to it. There’s so many cool boots out there and I realize I’ve only now just started to scratch the surface.

[@alexperez3651]

@@vsvm_pioneer ‘tis a deep and expensive rabbit hole hahaha so many brands worth checking out. Does your job allow you to wear this casual of stuff? I can get away with classing up a few more rugged pieces but I need to dress a little more “smart” so I’ve been getting a good deal of tailored clothes lately too. Hey another expensive journey lol

[@vsvm_pioneer]

Hahaha you don’t say. I work in the marketing department at my company so yes I can get away with dressing pretty casual lol I typically wear what I wear on camera to work

[@_DKS.]

thanks for review, love it! but strange to see no brigadiers in the collection. any reasons why?

[@vsvm_pioneer]

Thank you for tuning in! Valid question, there’s been a few pairs of brigs that I’ve wanted to buy. I tried on the pair from ICT and they fit great. I don’t own a pair yet because I try not to spend too much all at once. Each one of these purchases is pretty expensive and I can’t justify buying new pairs on a monthly basis. Plus, this gives me time to put in multiple wears and break in the pairs I do own. I plan to add a brig to my collection next year.

[@_DKS.]

@@vsvm_pioneer thanks for your reply! Of course I do understand your point, I just thought that you have something to say against them as you already have pretty broad collection without them in it.

[@vsvm_pioneer]

That makes sense, I could see why it might seem that I have something against them lol but no, I will get a pair next year. I also have a new model coming in Jan/Feb 2025 that I’m excited to show you guys!

[@Sub2Xemnort]

Do you have any solutions on squeaking in Visvim footwear? My skagways kinda squeak

[@vsvm_pioneer]

Still trying to figure that out myself. Oddly enough my g pattern Skagway squeak but not my regular pair. It could be an insole issue.

[@jerarddarang9307]

Where did you get your frames? I was thinking of doing the same thing with my bandanas aha

[@vsvm_pioneer]

I got them from IKEA on sale in 2020. I wasn’t able to find the frame again, so I bought a similar one from Blick’s for other rooms in my home.

[@WheresAdam]

Great video! Aiming to get the 73 Hole 73 Folk. I'm a size US10 in Virgils and Brigadiers. Do you think a US10 would be good for me in the 73 Hole?

[@vsvm_pioneer]

Thank you for tuning in. What year and color are you looking to get? It would fit, but the boot will fit wide. Most people size down .5 size - full size. I personally went with my normal size 11 because I didn’t mind the wider fit.

[@WheresAdam]

Oh I’m looking at the current one available on the visvim site today in dark brown. Looks similar to yours but with lesser destressing to the front. Yeah I’ve heard that people size down by 0.5. I’ve got a wide flat foot, so naturally I prefer abit of space in my shoes. Is it really a lot of space in the toe box for you? Also is the length fine or longer too?

[@vsvm_pioneer]

That’s the one I have. It doesn’t bother me and honestly made it so that I didn’t really have to break them in. Length is a little longer too.

[@WheresAdam]

@@vsvm_pioneer ah I see so it’s roomy in the toe box but not to the point that your feet are swimming in the boot right? Like it’s still manageable without too much heel slippage and all?
