Interesting selection of "orange" boots though I tend to think of the darker ones as cognac. I was comparing to my collection and there wasn't a single overlap. My "orange" boots are Cheaney Elliot 2 in Mahogany grain calf leather. Cheaney Milburn in English Tan Chromexcel Thursday Captain in Brandy steer leather. Cheaney Trafalgar in Dark Leaf calf leather. Carmina work boot in Tan Karagrain (more orange than tan) Trickers Grassmere in Caramel Kudu leather Cheaney Jarrow in English Tan Chromexcel Grant Stone Edward boot in Rust Kangaroo leather Chippewa Service Utility boot in Tan Renegade (more orange now than tan) - Renegade is a form of Chromexcel that is not air dried. Red Wing 2950 Rover in Copper Rough & Tough leather. It just shows how popular these leathers are.
I've got a cool pair of "golden brown" yearling chukkas. I also really like that natural orangy tan. It reminds me of an old baseball glove. It really shows the character of the leather...
Great video! I have a 5-year-old pair of Trickers Stow in Acorn that look great. I still love the color. They'd probably go nicely with your orange collection.
Great collection! Just wondering, it would be perfect if you added the "Tricker's Stow Country Boot - Acorn Antique" to your orange-tan boots collection. Or I think you also have a Grenson G2 boots. Really enjoy your content.
@bootlosophy you mention that Red Wings aren't really regarded as a work boot in Australia but more of a statement boot. Being unfamiliar with Aussie workwear, I'd love for you do a compare/contrast video (American vs Australian).
thanks for all your efforts! greatly appreciate it.. great concept video,, i have some bright orange Wesco Hendrik service boots ,, but what id really like are more brown and tan boots,, just got my first Oak Streets.. Longshore Jump in Badalassi Minerva ,, Dr. Soles/Cat's Paw.., really liking the shape
Greetings Mr. T, what are thoughts on arch support for Grant Stone? Specifically, diesel and Ottawa. I would think the brass in the wedge would have some support?
Personally I think you're better off with a proper hiking boot and not a "heritage" boot. So I'd suggest brands like Meindl, Scarpa, Zamberlan, Hanwag, Salomon, Lowa, The North Face, Mammut, Merrell , Danner as a starter. You need to decide what type of hiking you are going to be doing (day trips, multi day, heavy pack etc.) and what sort of terrain (easy paths, rough trails, rough terrain with little or no paths, boggy/marshy ground, rocky ground or a mixture) and also what seasons you are going to be using the boots. If you are going to be encountering snow and ice then you need much stiffer boots that can take crampons. Finally, if at all possible you need to try the boots on with a good boot fitter/sales person as if you're doing hiking badly fitting boots can cripple you. This is far more important than brand. Comfortable and supportive is most of the battle and a decent lugged sole with reasonable depth should also be a priority ensuring grip in most conditions. Don't worry too much about waterproofing as if it is wet and boggy there's a good chance you'll get wet feet anyway regardless of what the boot says. Many people replace the supplied insoles with supportive insoles with Superfeet being the best known brand but many more are available. Many outdoor stores have trained boot fitters who specialise in finding the right boot for you and can advise you.
That’s the biggest misnomer of hyperconditioning heritage boot collectors. It’s a theory and it’s incorrect it’s also the fastest way to degrade your boot. Unless boots have gone through a strong caustic agent or salt water that leached the oil out, there is no need to oil condition them. Google search shoe snob on conditioning dress shoes. Thats why you probably lost that orange hue you liked especially with an Italian veg tanned leather from Tuscany region such as Carlo Badalassi. Use saphir leather conditioner with a russet pigment or orange if they sell it. Or Saphir polish to bring the look you desire back. FYI Badalassi leather is not in the trench work boot leather think more rugged fashion.
As someone with ZERO fashion sense (hey, I'm an engineer!) I really enjoy watch the clothing to boot matching advice!!!
Thursday makes good boots about 200. The harvest color is orange.

9:48 is the sexiest shot of those boots I've ever seen. What a great angle!
The Diesels in Badalassi saddle tan leather is just stunning. Patina monster !

Teikh, you mention the Aldens are orange - but they appear reddish brown. Is it my phone or my eyes which are deceiving me?
Keep it up! Really enjoy your content. I enjoy the what the boots go with segments.

Greetings Mr. T, what are thoughts on arch support for Grant Stone? Specifically, diesel and Ottawa. I would think the brass in the wedge would have some support?
They are pretty good because of a great last
What about the copper rough and tough by S.B. Foot Tannery?
How could you overlook those!?😂🇨🇦
Damn! I forgot! I love those!
@@Bootlosophy I'm torn on my second set of Ranger between the amber and copper. Would the 8111s be your preference?
The thumbnail looks like some kind of a delicate dried fish dish.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you please recommend me a good quality, durable boot brand for hiking and camping ? No matter with the price tag please

Wow that’s a lot of orange redundancy.
