1st time viewer to your channel. Last april I was gifted some indie ridge gloves , neck gator , and a limited edition hat. The hat was 1 of 6 or so. I was so impressed with the gloves and the other gear that I ordered a pair of the crow boots. Everything that I have from indie ridge is top quality. What you did not mention is that all indie ridge products have a lifetime guarantee once you register your products. I challenge anyone to find a better boot with a life time guarantee. I personaly called indie ridge to thank them and was shocked that the owner of the company answered the phone. indie ridge is the BEST and I am now a life time customer of thier products.

[@fps636]

Yeah, OK. I'm older than old school and have been wearing my engineer boots for 50 years. But, I would try these boots because I believe in and trust your opinions and overall take on things.

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

Man, I loved this review for so many reasons. My office always looks like the Texas chainsaw massacre of boots with hacksaws, box cutters and scalpels. All in the never ending pursuit of making the best, safest (look for our official CE 2 Cert coming soon), but still affordable boot on the market.

[@Peter-mcmcmc]

Agree this is a great video, and as a loyal subscriber, I appreciate that you always keep it real! 🤘 Also, @Steve L. - that's awesome news that a CE Level 2 is in the works! As soon as you bring them to market, I'm a buyer (that's the only thing that's kept me from buying Indie Ridge so far...love the look of your boots AND gloves, but I'm anal AF about CE certs). Much success to you and your team, man!

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

@@Peter-mcmcmc Thanks! All our current versions of our boots are in Italy, so as soon as they say so, we'll be able to stitch that patch inside, along with that 10-page booklet :)

[@Peter-mcmcmc]

@@Steve_IndieRidge Thanks for taking the time to reply. Even better that they're Italian. I've got a pair of Stylmartin and TCX, which I think are made or designed in Italy (idk), and I love them both. My TCX are actually the boots that got me thinking about Indie Ridge. Similar style, but a little too "Sk8R Boi," if ya know what I mean lol. Seriously, I'm psyched for your CE cert and ready to buy (love The Crow)! IMO, the two best things in Blair's video are: 1). That he showed his own boots and acknowledged he hasn't done a damn thing to maintain them; and 2). Your email to him. Both show the honesty and integrity you both possess, and both are equally as rare in advertising. Kudos to you, Indie Ridge, and Blair! 🤘✌

[@impoppa9647]

When will you increase the mens size range for smaller feet? Would love to order a pair of Comanche, but not everyone has big feet.. would be nice to see EU sizes like a 40 which is about 7.5/8 Smallest Indie Ridge sizes seem to be size 9 most of the time.

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

@@impoppa9647 I'm working on it, I promise. Small end and the larger end. The Women's 10 is a Men's 8, it just didn't even cross my mind "hey dude, take half of those Women's 10, and swap the tag to Men's 8". Also, we re-made our press moulds for the outer soles. Before, we'd use one outer sole for two sizes, but I wanted each size to have it's own mould (they're like $3k each), so this summer we made I think 28 new press moulds to fit all sizes, including men's 7.5, 8, and Men's 15. It's comin' I promise!!

[@twobeagles1365]

I bought a pair of these boots about a month ago, What caught my eye was the way the sole / traction part of boot was made, so many times when I come to a stop on smooth pavement or sandy surfaces, I would feel my feet would try to slip out from under me, cause of loss of traction as with other riding gear I have, I am impressed with the comfort and traction of these boots, so pleased to have bought a pair of them !! India Ridge will definitely be on my radar for future purchases ! Thankyou for a great pair of Riding boots !

[@throttleblip9854]

Love to hear it!!!

[@billwiggins9082]

I bought the Apache about a month ago. Normally wear 91/2. Went with size 10. Near perfect fit. Maybe a bit loose in heel, but just need to cinch down a little tighter. I honestly love these boots. Very comfortable on and off the bike. Wear them every day to and from work and all day at work. Honestly the most comfortable work boot I’ve ever owned. Highly recommend. Plan on buy a second pair (Comanche) soon, for weekend boots, since my work boots get pretty banged up at work.

[@WelcomeFBS]

I’ve had my first pair for almost two weeks now. I’m a big fan, I also plan to grab a vented pair next year. Just ordered a pair of the full gauntlet gloves. Seriously lovin indie ridge so far. As you mentioned they don’t look like a normal motorcycle boot and look more like a casual pair of boots/shoes. Big fan of that. I also wear them on the daily not just riding. Great video as usual!

[@sweetbonney1482]

They will not last if you wear them everyday. I was also very optimistic after 2 weeks and loved them but unfortunately that didn't last and I blew through 2 pair in less than a year with everyday wear.

[@BryTheBiker]

Fantastic reviews. Been wearing there gear for over 2 year and it's all head up great. As you said I love the systle for both on and off the bike.

[@russelbaker9847]

Been wearing mine for over a year, awesome boots for wearing and riding. I recommend them to others all the time.

[@jaycfs]

Love my Indie Ridge boots. I have the Crow boots and they are very comfortable. Did a 2000 mile trip out of south Florida in June/July and was very pleased. Will be ordering a second pair very soon.

[@DavidSmith-jj5pr]

YOURE MAKING ADS NOW??? 😆 I kid I kid, these do look pretty nice, and I'm in the market since red wing doesn't make riding boots anymore. I'll ask indie ridge if they can do wides.

[@chronicpatriot740]

I bought two pairs after this review..they’re great right out of the box

[@t-bone9403]

$370+ for footwear ? You must have more money than brains.

[@chronicpatriot740]

@@t-bone9403 you can actually buy these open box for more than 50% off. So, that’s 2 pairs for less than the price of 1 (which comes out to less than $370 in case you got confused by the simple math). Maybe ask a question and/or do a simple internet search before you make assumptions and start talking trash?

[@David-bf6pl]

I have both the Crow and Commanche and they are the very best motorcycle boots I've owned.

[@aarow019]

I bought a pair of Crow boots as my first riding boots. I have been very pleased with the boot.

[@paulhenry4276]

Looks like a great boot on and off then bike, just wish they came in a wide size. Thanks for the review.

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

We actually recently adjusted the toe box with on the new Comanches (Version 4), because older versions ran small. I have a wide foot, and I can wear my true size. Also we have a really easy (and free) return/exchange system. Food for thought 🤘🤘

[@curtisgreene7662]

I have had a pair of the Crow's for 16 months. Absolutely the best boot that I have ever had. They are very comfortable for all day wear and give my feet some added protection when on the bike. Really not a bad price either when taking in consideration the quality boot you are getting.

[@throttleblip9854]

Exactly. People that don’t actually do stuff in their boots hear 12-16 months and think that’s crazy. I’ve blown boots out in 3-4 months. I’ve never owned a boot that lasted 2 years. At least not one I wear regularly.

[@aybboy636]

I just order a pair on the Comanche's today. I've been eyeing these boots for a while. I super excited to receive them!!!!!

[@TheDfelan]

I have the waterproof pair. They look great, but too hot to wear when it's warm out, especially here in Texas. They are a bit clunky, but I do get compliments. I imagine they will be nice when cold weather comes.

[@davidhardy4419]

I have these EXACT boots and I LLLLOOOOVVVVEEEEE them. It’s the perfect motorcycle boot in my opinion.

[@throttleblip9854]

Same man. On my feet as we speak!

[@davidhardy4419]

@@throttleblip9854 One of the reason I love them is because they don’t have a heel. What I noticed when riding is that a heel would get stuck on the peg while shifting when wearing traditional motorcycle boots. Not a bad thing just a weird feeling. Indie Ridge doesn’t have that. I can slide my foot up when needed and help me shift. Too bad I didn’t know about the affiliate link.

[@richkoenning8927]

I have the same pair of Comanche riding boots. These boots are freakin awesome. I would highly recommend any of their gear (boots especially) to anyone. Happy Trails

[@rickbumbaca240]

I have a pair of the crows which are fully waterproof. I absolutely love the look, feel, comfort and quality. I will never buy any other motorcycle boot other than Indie Ridge!

[@stevenjones7008]

Got a pair of Commanches. Love them but need to break them in. Hurt my feet at the end of the day. My feet are messed up from 23 years in the Navy anyway...

[@NorthwoodsNomad]

Best riding boot I’ve ever owned ! So comfortable and stylish too ! I’ll buy another pair when these wear out . I just hope they don’t discontinue the Comanche model for some reason.

[@jasonfay1456]

Yes I am very interested in the boots and I'm thinking about getting a pair or two thank you for your video they seem like they would be very comfortable hopefully they have enough arch support

I’m hoping that being impressed by 1 year of boots is uncommon. I have work boots that I work in every day in construction and they’ve always lasted at least a year. Perhaps purchasing a better quality boot would be a good comparison.

[@frankprettitore6192]

love them but if u have a wide foot like me its too tight had to send them back...

[@throttleblip9854]

Maybe they’ll make a wide sizes in the future. I’m sure as a smaller company it’s hard to do that.

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

Hey Frank, actually the Comanche 4 (just released) uses a wider last than all previous versions, which were, I agree too narrow and it annoyed me to no end. The Comanche 4 has a pretty room toe box.

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

Lol Poshmark is our "Indie Ridge Orphanage." Those are boots that might have been worn a few times, have some creases here and there, or maybe a blemish that I wouldn't want to get if I was buying a new pair of boots. So you're basically saving a boot from the dumpster by adopting one :)

[@bensatterwhite5694]

Do they offer a boot with a heel on them? They look a lot like Rockeys. Those are also very comfortable, but without the raised heel make my heels hurt from stretching the Achilles’ tendon.

[@matthewbutler3513]

The only complaint i hear about these, are the lack of a "non slip" sole. I have not compared them, to see really how far off that sole is from my other motorcycle boots, and riding shoes. With that said, i also WILL NOT be trying them because of that reason. The other brands offer more. Love the look though.

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

Ahh we've got new outer soles coming in soon. But you're right, earlier versions didn't have as much grip as I would've liked. That's why I created new press moulds for ever size in every style, and changed the rubber composite. The new Comanche V4 already has the upgraded rubber/outer sole. I don't require that you make a decision about keeping them or not within 10 seconds of opening the box (like certain companies). How are you supposed to know if they work for you if you can't ride around a little bit and use them? Hope you'll give them a try one day.

[@matthewbutler3513]

@@Steve_IndieRidge Love the response. I will certainly try them in the future.

[@TheOneSoulMate_]

Great video. If someone is going to recommend a brand this is how you do it. It kinda feels like it’s a friend saying “hey, you should check these out.” People like to buy things but hate being sold. If that makes sense. If you know what so mean. When it comes to a boot this doesn’t look like anything I would expect. Having said that. I like the look/design and the colors. Like you said. It just looks like a regular pair of shoes (boots). Even the color of the sole looks great. To be honest. If this wasn’t a pair of boots and just a pair of shoes. I definitely would be picking me up a pair. I never heard of the brand and glad you mentioned it here.

[@mjc6131]

Once you get them broken in, they are great boots. However, getting them on & laced up before they were broken in was so arduous, I don’t think I’d buy another pair.

Depends how wide. The last we use is pretty wide. I'm a 9.5 in everything, I'm wearing the new Crow 4s now and I feel like I have plenty of room in the toe box. If you're ultra wide, maybe try a half-size up. That way you can instantly know they're too big. The perfect fit is always going to need some breaking in.

Not for everyday wear. The owner is amazing and sent me a new pair and also allowed me to keep the bad pair. But facts are facts and I went through 2 pair in less than 12 months.

I need to buy some Redwings then I've never gotten more than 2.5 years out of a boot. I'm gonna put it like this, these have been the best riding boot I've ever worn but not a chance they see 20 years of hard use and hold up.

[@111Panda]

They look like Chuck Taylor's. And I'm all about it.

[@jasperduncan6633]

This may sound a funny question but are they comfortable to walk in. I ask this question as they don’t appear to have any support for your instep and look very loose fitting?

[@Steve_IndieRidge]

So, of course I wear mine all day, in and out of the warehouse to make sure I know the answer this question. I'd say yes, I'm comfortable in all of them all day (the Apache's have a slightly longer break-in period), but everyone's different. They do have a removable footbed if you want to put your own instep in.

It come down to a few things. Protection being the 1st. These have reinforced toes and heels so if you were to go down, your feet don't take so much punishment. 2nd for me is the option to have waterproof shoes on my feet. 3rd would be feel. I like the way the controls and pegs feel when i wear boots. At the end of the day if none of that matters you can ride in anything. Some of the best riders out there ride in Vans.
