[@youarerightboss]

Where are the Nick's boots?

[@dansouza6284]

What boots are you wearing right now?

[@rorynelson7548]

How bout you do a good thorough video on Red Wing 606

[@cdakskid]

I swore to myself that I wouldn't buy any more boots. I have more than I will ever need. HOWEVER, a collab remake of the Japanese WWII boots may just break me down. They are just too cool!

[@ladyeclectic]

Yeah I REALLY can’t wait to see that colab!!! The simplicity but incredible design always amazed me and to have a pair would be incredible.

[@brand0llaz]

I hope theyll have wide widths!!

[@virtusleather]

agree. dangit. 😬🤪

[@usmnt4423]

Agreed.

[@pcarrierorange]

@@brand0llaz Probably not so authentic... but me too!

[@billystpaul8907]

Thanks to you Weston for having 2 of my favorites channels. Thanks to Trenton and Heath and Stridewise and your channels for giving me a better idea and appreaction of mens boots and other things as well. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Looking forward to what you do next year....

[@JestRLee]

Thanks Wes for all you do... We are all looking forward to everything you give us in 2023... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...

[@sisleymichael]

I second these sentiments! Thank you for the videos. I have learned a lot. Merry Christmas.

[@Julius314159]

Dang! I was hoping the ND1 would make the list! I was lucky enough to get a pair! They're, in my opinion, the most beautiful and well built boot I've ever purchased, and I can only say that because I trust your excellent tear downs & knowledge regarding boot design.

[@andrewrife6253]

This channel is the reason I got a pair of iron rangers and officially entered the world of nice boots. The jungle boot video was an interesting one. I'm curious if there's anyone out there making a good new one. I'm a size 13 and 6ft 4in tall so finding originals of anything from that era that fits me is a struggle at best. Most of the companies that advertise the jungle boot as new are suspiciously cheap and seem like something for scamming people at gun shows

[@needfortweed8734]

I seem to remember that in the comments of that video there was a comment mentioning some company producing really good, functionally identical, to the originals. I thought I had saved the link, but I can't find it on this computer. If I somehow manage to scrounge that up, I'll add a comment below here.

[@skipinkoreaable]

Yes, I'm very curious about that too. I have a pair of Palladiums that are at the least very similar to Jungle boots in design. Mine are long with laces and a zipper down the side and a press-stud so the zipper doesn't come open. I don't know how they compare to the original Jungle boots. Mine are still going very well after 7 years but I haven't given them especially heavy usage. According to the hype, Palladium made boots for the French Foreign legion, but they did also make a pair of casual looking ones that had disappointingly thin sole rubber when it got cut up on this channel. I would be extremely interested to know what my model looks like when cut in half. At any rate my model would probably not be half bad to wear hard until you're really done with them and you could just buy a new pair if you really hammer them. I'm satisfied with mine so far (after about 7 years).

[@isaachague1917]

I wear a size 14 or 15 (depending on the company) shoe and I think the company you might be looking for is GoRuck, they have an actual black and green boot, but there boots take inspiration from the old school jungle boots and have served me very well both working and professionally. Those boots are called the MAC-V1

[@chai1116]

Altama

[@sackman1886]

Been a great year Weston! Would love to see more JK boots on the channel and see how they stack up vs Nicks, Whites, etc.

[@StevenKetchum]

Glad you mentioned Palladium. They have an interesting French military history and I've owned pairs for years. They are cozy, cheap, and are great replacements for converse high tops.

[@Night-Owl-]

I like to refer to them as "offroad converse". Lol

[@gregc3312]

The old pairs are awesome, try a new ones they are nothing like old ones quality went way down!

[@MLMguitarguy]

Merry Christmas Weston and the whole crew at Rose Anvil including Toaster! Thanks for another great year of content.

[@louieg3276]

Been watching rose anvil for awhile now. This channel has helped me become more knowledgeable in my boot/shoe game. Much appreciation.

[@samuelwilliams3130]

I bought Redbacks on the strength of your reviews alone and loved them so much that I bought a steel-toed pair for work, absolutely brilliant 👏

[@jhosk]

Been waiting all year for this video! A professional no biased opinion. Awesome that you included wide toe box boots, it's all I can wear with my sasquatch feet.

[@edrader]

my favorite boots of the year: belleville c320. awesome lightweight, fully gusseted, hot weather boots and made in USA. absolutely love them

[@luffysh]

The fact that you still stick with the redbacks are a sign that they are good and comfy; so much you still wear them and not others😊

[@jaredalinkoff76]

Love the videos Weston. Keep making them and we'll definitely keep watching them. Well done...

[@NarolAlexa5777]

Cowboy boots are always gorgeous! Thank you for your expertise!

[@HandburglarPro]

Last year based on the reviews I got a pair of Romeo’s from Georgia Boot Co. and a pair of Carolina moc toes. I wear the Georgia’s to work pretty much every day. For boots in the $90-$120, both are obsoletely worth the price. I love the honest reviews and I’m happy to see the variety on the channel. One day I will get a pair of White’s. Until then, I’m happy with tons of reviews in my price range. Thanks for the great work!

[@nickbowers3925]

Thank you for all the great content over 2022. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

[@ryanreid4806]

I bought a pair of thorogood boot because of this channel earlier this year. Best boot purchase I ever made! Thanks for an awesome channel!

[@goodknight37]

I’ve been rockin the Thorogood Moc Toe for about a year now. They are absolutely the most comfortable boots I’ve ever owned. Perfect boot for me. (Finish carpenter mostly)👍

[@Lokrendo]

More value = more better more better = more leather

[@Gingerbaard]

Great video as always, the in depth analysis but relaxed vibe make them very enjoyable to watch. I hope you do a top 5 sneakers! Since those are the shoes I mostly wear.

[@ollieknox3983]

Thanks for all your great videos this year, I appreciate all your hard work. Merry Christmas 🎉

[@thedawapenjor]

I actually ended up buying a pair of Redbacks because of you. Nice to see them being so highly rated for comfort.

[@khancrow7015]

My Iron rangers have exceeded my expectations. I am pretty harsh on my footwear but they have held up perfectly. I never experienced an uncomfortable break in period and can easily wear them 15 hours a day sometimes with no discomfort.

[@grapeapeductape2489]

That info on the jungle boot video was accurate! I ended up doing a presentation for my speech class over US army footwear evolution and used that video as a source!

[@semperliberi]

Been waiting all year for this. Great job this year!

[@danielirvine7468]

Thanks for the vids this year bro you guys have been pumping out the content well done .

[@shawnhillman8630]

I went with the Thorogood moc toe in black this time around. They felt great right out of the box, and look awesome. I'm not super hard on boots, so these should last a long time, and they're in the sweet right away.

[@Night-Owl-]

I normally prefer taller boots but I also love my converse and palladium's. I really hope the repro Japanese boot goes through, I really enjoyed that video and most definitely will buy a pair.

[@OldspeedMFG]

Hey Wes, another great video after a year of many new highs. Would love if you did a video about boots you can try on in person in America. There are lots of Red Wing dealers but other than that most of these boots can't be tried on unless you live in NYC or want to return them by mail til you get the right size, which can end up adding another 20% or more to the cost of the boot. Thanks and happy holidays!

[@picnicsinspace198]

Love this channel. I need new boots that don't cripple my feet and your channel whether I am just interested in seeing boots sliced in half or want information is the best :)

[@veineryan]

That Japanese wwii boot got me into your channel and let me down the long road of now wanting a pair of Japanese white cloud boots ....... Beyond excited for the new colab for an updated version

[@nismo_zrz3321]

So far I’ve got thorogood moc toes for work, whites perry hybrid moc toes for a causal as well as iron ranger in amber harness all from your recommendation and could not be happier! Best boot review Channel on KZbin.

[@bryanttorres297]

thanks. Happy New Year!

[@stratobungle]

I'm just glad I found out about Jim Green African Rangers from your channel. I have problems with feet that have swollen due to my age, high blood pressure, and lack of exercise during the lockdown (job became 100% teleworking) and their width and softness and PRICE(!) have made them a perfect boot to purchase and wear as I begin my return to outdoor activities. Much appreciated, and Happy New Year! I'll keep an ear to the ground regarding the Japanese boot collaboration, but my interest will depend mainly on their cost... Peace!

[@Jrd333]

Merry Christmas! Thanks for the great videos! Can’t wait to see what’s coming in 2023!

[@dontprayforme]

After buying a pair of carhartt boots, finding a review of those boots on this channel (not a favorable one apparently lmao), and finding out what makes a decent boot; I bought two pair of Thorogoods (both Moc toe of course) within the last couple months thanks to this channel.

[@Ringleader3rik]

I remember you saying you would look into the Japanese modern build. I am soooo in on that. Love the channel.

[@aaroncordle232]

This channel has cost me so much money in 2022. I'm looking forward to 2023! Maybe you can do a series on hiking boots? Zamberlan, Kenetrek, Crispi, Hanwag, Vasque, etc? Happy Holidays Weston!

[@thetechrealist]

The Lems boulder boot look really nice! Thx

[@angelafox4380]

You have had the best videos. Has helped me make some important decisions. Thank you. Merry Christmas ❤️

[@daviddeupree7707]

Thanks man I took your advice and bought a pair of your most recommended boots when they were just 200 bucks 👌. Have a merry Christmas and all the best from Northern California

[@giorgimachavariani4511]

I'm from Georgia and I've been watching your channel since the first day and I bought Blundstones on your advice, this shoe store is not in my country and I spent a lot of money, but it was worth it. Good luck.

[@manuellazarte5637]

You The Boot Man''Merry Christmas and Blessed new 2023 reviews of boots ,Thank you for what you do.

[@sandragee2864]

Because of the Jungle Boot video, I found a pair of size 4.5 (I wear a Ladies size 6C) from an army surplus store. I love them.

[@jackbraddell1124]

Merry Christmas Weston, really enjoy your program.

[@jakobdieckmann]

One of my favorite KZbin channels hands down! 🙌🏻

[@veranfung432]

it's glad to heard that you are working on the Japanese WWII boots, Thanks!

[@mattbender6601]

I would love to see a top 5 worst sneakers. I’m a sucker for the technical spec’s because I’m a nerd. Love the historical boot idea too because I show clips of your vids in my classroom

[@joshuakeltz7025]

Stumbled across this channel a couple months ago, really neat stuff and entertaining. It would be cool to see you cut up some Asolo boots, I have owned a couple of their hiking boots and am curious about their construction.

[@hmoobtube]

With that “S” hair curl and a Henry Cavill out, I nominate you as the next Superman.

[@cliffordgallegos6155]

Bro you have completely opened my eyes to a new world of boots and shoes. I now check my shoes and boots while shopping. Crazy how poorly shoes are made. And some are 90-125$. I have basically tennis Rackets for feet so I have become super picky and can't order online. Thank you!

[@hl5184]

Another great and informative video. I also recommend Thorogoods to everyone in my trade.. Merry Christmas Weston to you and your family.

[@IzziedeD]

oh man! i gotta go watch the jungle boot vid. i used to have a pair of those in the 90's that bought from a local surplus store! i'd nearly forgotten about it!

[@user-un5xj1wl6p]

I genuenly lovw binging your stuff, you were the insoiration needed to me to keep my leather shoes/boots healthy and well kept

[@Feilong4]

I am very curious about the potential collab with the Japanese WWII boots. Loving the collabs!

[@kevinparks2286]

I actually have a pair of keens that I wear just when I take my kids to disneyland. I've tried many options for walking those 20k steps a day and they feel so good

[@johnelbersii7108]

Thanks for clearing up the scam issue I almost fell for it and glad I got in on the real contest. Keep up the great work 💯

[@kirbyfitzpatrick6709]

Merry Christmas , really like your channel. Very informative!

[@LysanderLH]

Winter boots. Fleece lined like Uggs but not Uggs.

[@danhubin8697]

Would you consider reviewing (and cutting in half) dedicated motorcycle boots that offer CE certifications? Would be a great series I think to see what's inside and get thoughts about comfort on and off motorcycles.

[@jerrypomroy2375]

So, I ended up getting the Thursday Desperado in Arizona Adobe & the Thursday Maverick in Anejo for Christmas from the wife. I like them both. The Desperado for an everyday type Western boot & the Maverick is a more dress up and hit the town. They both look great with jeans & chinos but the Maverick’s can go a notch up on the dressy scale to even a suit. I just wish the shafts were a bit slimmer.

[@DamjanManevski]

Watching from Central Europe and having watched 4-5 of these boots videos from different channels, it's amazing to me what people in the US consider great value and not expensive 😂

[@gavindadds4414]

As an Aussie, I love it that your wearing Redback boots.

[@257796]

That Keen with the accordion toe is my favorite. If your job requires you to squat at least 20 to 50 times a day. All other boots end up staying that way If you squat in them for a while

[@alfredov4603]

Happy Holidays guys !

[@altlawncare]

I've had great luck, in terms of value, with Herman survivor professional boots! The driller boots have stayed very comfortable and kept my feet dry in some very nasty conditions!

[@CatfishCook]

I would love to see a cut in half 217 Redwing 9 inch logger. Good stuff Wes

[@SirEricArthurBlair]

I was shocked you mentioned Palladium boots. I used to have a pair of them. I’m curious about those Lems boots. I’ve been debating getting some Jim Greens recently.

[@PhreakinFPV]

Not here for the giveaway, but love the sneaker content you've been doing this year, keep it up! Merry Christmas as well!

[@johnathanwillan2799]

Binge watching all your stuff! Thanks for the help

[@hexum9449]

Great video!!! Please add some Allen Edmonds boots to your future videos. I'd also like to see dress shoes added.

[@enriquevanakkeren59]

Salomon Forces XA Forces 8" GTX EN Black is the best boot ever , waterproof , warm , and quality build . i like this boots allot

[@jc3834]

Love the channel keep up the good work! Im hoping someday youll do the redwing 2233, my go to work boot

[@joes661]

I've worn the same pair of timberlands every day for 3 years and they are on their last leg...definitely need a new pair

[@pageone3791]

Looking for a snow boot video. I wear the Columbia Artic and Omni heat boots. Would love to see what they’re made of and especially love the way you cut them apart.

[@justicebinder6544]

I love thorogood boots. Glad they get props here.

[@larryvelasquez662]

Enjoy everything you post. Thank you.

[@zvchdaniels]

I ❤ my Thorogood boots! Extremely comfortable and the wear so nicely.

[@edrader]

sold all my red wings and kept my thorogoods!

[@thedirtygot9570]

I’ve got the 8” Thorogood Moc steel toe boots with the crazy horse leather! They are so comfortable

[@John_Doe_6969]

Great content! Would looove to see an episode on haix firefighter-boots

[@TS-qp6xv]

That’s a lot of info packed into a relatively short video. Good work! (You must have a coffee sponsor…right?) New to the world of boots. Your videos are both entertaining and informative. Happy New Year. Keep up the good work.

[@Luke_from_GA]

Nice video! Strange that I watch boot videos, but I'm not the only one lol. I have some Russell Mocassins that I love(Zephyr 2) that I would love your take on.

[@SaorEire]

I enjoyed your videos this year. One suggestion for next year, if I may, is fewer sneaker videos, and sticking mostly to boots. Thanks!

[@heathspears8881]

Whites most definitely… been using the 💨 jumpers for few years now for yard and house work or landscaping and are built well indeed

[@johnlattanzio9859]

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

[@hughharrell8528]

Thanks for the list!

[@DMorgan77]

Amazing content as always Weston. I do love my Grant Stone Diesel boots. Btw wasn't that the Diesel as opposed to the Field boot you showed?

[@sczarn]

I love your content, so fun. Also informative.

[@davidmcgaha7932]

The lems boulder boot is the lightest and most comfortable boot I've ever owned

[@JW-ug5vq]

I saw a video (that happened to follow this one) where you compared Nicks men’s vs women’s boots. Pls consider Thursday’s men’s vs women’s boots. I love your videos and delighted to be part of 4%! Thanks!

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Man I've been watching all the Nicks boots videos and I've never wore a boot that was that quality but they look amazing. I've only spent $300 as a max for boots.

[@Petey5]

I can't vouch for their boots, but ecco sneakers have very wide toeboxes and still look very nice IMO. I always go back to them for sneakers, they are so comfortable.

[@christopherch7307]

Thank you for all your work. 👍😎👍

[@donrussell1577]

Thorogoods are super comfortable. The soles they use wear out super fast.

[@phil41055]

I would love to see a pair of Truman boots on your channel. I personally want a pair of moc toes from them, but would be more interested in seeing a video on a boot with their signature commando sole

[@lukasparo5125]

Bought a pair of palladium pampa lites + pack black . Definitely worth it. Thanks for the recommendation

[@lukeramos7205]

Japanese boot with Kangaroo leather would be awesome.

[@jjramz6618]

The JK boots and the origin boots look very similar to me. Before I bought my iron rangers I went back and forth between origin and iron rangers.

[@whiteout0111]

Just bought a pair of Carolina moc toe work boots after I saw your video dissecting them. I'm very glad I found this channel otherwise I would have spent that $280 on a boot worth 1/2 of the Carolinas price.
