What is "Genuine Leather"?

[@sceptre357]

I appreciate what you do man. Do you have a video you can point people to so rather than buying this or other crap boots they can get something better? If you had a video you could put in this and future videos description so users dont have to search though all your videos to find out whats the best. A good way is to probably have the best value boot for different price brackets; but having a video that shows the best quality boot for the lowest price is probably the most important of all. And whenever you do find a low quality boot like this, always mention a few alternatives you like. Your experience is invaluable and you can make a better decision than anyone else so please share, because from watching this video alone, i have no idea what else i should buy.

I’ve done the army, crane operating, lineman work, and now Union Ironworking. There is no point in cheating your feet if you’re working class, point blank. Quality tools, PPE, and boots can save your life in the field!

[@gregoryfilin8040]

What are your preferred boots? I'm willing to spend $650 on a very good pair soon.

[@the_swoletariat1621]

@@gregoryfilin8040 I’ve really enjoyed the thorogood 1957’s with a different insole that’s available at a boot shop near me. I’ll eventually be getting myself the 8” JK Forefront bison’s. The 1957’s outsoles are comfortable and more durable than the 10877’s or the Christy’s. Weston’s pair got water in them, but the two I’ve already had (and I just got a new pair last week for Ironworking, no steel toe or heel for climbing steel instead of wood) have been really water resistant!

[@LrulestheworldM8]

​@@gregoryfilin8040I went to a local boot store near me. I had them not only fit me for a pair that I'd like, but also measure my feet and provide me with insoles. I settled on a pair of red wings at $250. (They've actually been featured on this channel.) Great boots, and I'm comfortable all day long with no issues. I tried lots of different boots, but I'd recommend thorogood or red wing. They may not cost as much as the big boot brands like danner, but they are some of the most affordable and well made boots money can buy these days. I would highly recommend going to see a local cobbler near you. Regular shoe stores aren't it.

[@levis5230]

​@@gregoryfilin8040Nick's boots are good too but the lead times are long

[@chrisyungeberg6978]

This channel basically taught me to buy a pair of JKs and use them for everything. It's worked for me so far

[@markdoumert]

I have jks for hunting and love them. Just cant justify the price. I do flooring systems and concrete, I eat through even high quality boots every year. The really high end $800 boots are beat of the best no question, and to me its worth it for a pair of boots i can take care of. But for boots i blow through in a year no matter what it just cant make sense, no matter how much i want a pair of nicks mocs to work in. I was a loyal red wing and thorogood guy but just got some whites perrys and am so happy. Value for price on those is outstanding, i cant see ever switching unless i suddenly start making lots of money and decide to get custom work boots every year hahaha (probably wont happen)

[@KB-fk3jj]

​@@markdoumert How do you wear through your boots doing concrete labor? I'd hope you take good care of your hands then

[@markdoumert]

@@KB-fk3jj Mostly blow through the toes. I use tufftoe on everything, normally by the time i wear through the tuff toe the soles are gone and the upper is worn enough its not worth resoling, generally around 1 year or so. I do my best to take care of myself lol. Generally I wear big rubber gloves with long cuffs while im rodding and placing the mud, when you are actually finishing the concrete you dont really have to to stick your hands in it, so the big gloves come off and it doesn’t really do any harm. 👍

I bought these years ago and recommend them for you to cut. Good to know they increased the price with no changes. I even emailed them about the boot being lined when they said it wasn’t, and their argument was that the boot was unlined at the top portion you mentioned. They have been sitting in my closet for a long while now.

[@HiRyze]

As a tradesman I would like to see some reviews of safety toe boots. Like steel and composite red wings and thorogoods. Also is there a higher quality brand that makes safety moc toe boots for construction at like the $500-700 price point. Maybe something that will last a tradesman more than 6months to a year. Love your videos, thanks!

I have a pair of Wolverine dura shock moctoe boots. 3-4 years old they are waterproof insulated and indestructible. And still look good. $99

[@jeremyt2212]

For the blue-collar worker on a modest budget, I really recommend Georgia boots. I had decent experience with CAT boots back in the day as well.

[@bobclarke5913]

Still have my loose laced CATs from the 80s. Dad just went through a new pair of Georgia in less than a year of light use, sole split, sidewall blew out. Not saying all their stuff is like that, but those sure weren't well made. Fluke?

[@curtshelp6170]

I hope you're going to get to some quality boots in this October. Especially interested in your review of the new Origin Mac toe vs redwing, Thorogood and Whites Perry.

[@hippiebits2071]

Referring to people who often perform manual labor as “Blue Collar Athletes” is completely cringe!

Truth be told. Ive had a pair of wingshooters in the past and while they were awesome and comfortable, my adidas sambas do the same job at half the price. I dont need a steel toe and water resistance is all i ask for. But i work all day on asphalt and on ladders so comfort and durabulity are the name of the game. I think id like a pair of redwing heritage but i keep watching your channel hoping that i find *exactly* what im looking for.

@@Glandash I have a pair of non steel toe razorbacks, and I use them as my hiking boots. I really like them, and they are very durable. I just think they are too hard to be comfortable standing on cement all day and be comfortable. Swapping out the insoles might help but their not as comfy as the softer wedge soles.

[@bogey4957]

16:01 describes me perfectly. Bought these boots not really knowing any better other I wanted to try a wedge sole. I'm still extremely ignorant to what makes a good boot but more importantly how does it in practice actually affect me. I've worn the steel toes for about a month now and they feel no different than my previous Catepillar boots. (second shift I think, again, I'm not a boot guy at all) I wear my boots until they're falling off, so we'll see how long these last. Can someone tell me if the Duradero boots are any good?

how is the leather on them. The only pair I don't recommend for work are the crazy brown leather ones. as those are not genuinely made with crazy horse leather. its nubuck. I also wish that they allowed the Buckhannon with a black wedge sole. Back to what I was saying. are the full grain leather ones just as good as thorogood?
