  • My boot collection is pretty over the top. Of course this is a side effect of doing reviews and being an enthusiast, but I thought it would be fun to rank my entire boot collection based on nothing but my own preference.

    Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
    I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well, and allows you to buy less and buy better.

    Thanks for the compilation. I love your take on what makes a good boot - it’s very personal and individual. Not only is that a confident way to display this (not conforming to what everyone thinks should be the perfect boot) but it gives your listeners the permission to enjoy their own boots even if they do t have the most popular boot on CZcams. Keep it coming!

That gothic, American folklore style, just emanates from its design. I dream of someday owning a pair of "RS1 dIRT's." Someday. Anyway....I don't want to take up too much of your time. Just wanted you to know that, as usual, this was time well spent for me. Here's wishing you all the best. Cheers....🥃

    I'm happy I finally watched this. It *seems* like everything rated below the Taft Hiro (except the Jim Green Monster and L.L. Bean duck boot) you wouldn't miss if you sold? I'd love to see an updated version of this video in late 2023 or early 2024 to see how you've pared down and maybe added one or two choice additions.
    I've had White's Cruisers and Nick's Urban Loggers on my wishlist for awhile now (not strictly work, casual, or dress), but seeing you talk about your Kreosotes (again), I'm starting to think I should just save up and have a pair or two made to fit my foot. Maybe from an up and coming builder so the wait is more reasonable. What do you think?
    It's great to have an example on CZcams of someone who advocates for buying the best, and buying less.

    Videos like this really show the progression of your styles/tastes/preferences evolving as time goes on. It seems you've branched out a bit from your workwear roots, and moved in a dressier/sleeker direction, which is awesome to see!
    It's unfortunate that you've had a lot of quality issues with your White's. Would you recommend sticking with Nick's over White's if you had to choose?

    • @CarlMurawski
      @CarlMurawski  Před 2 lety +2

      Well, the Whites issues are usually minor finishing problems. Some like the Smoke Jumpers are absolutely perfect, but others like the Bounty Hunters are lacking in that department. Overall the Nicks have been better, but some models are only available through Whites.

I emailed JG asking how their factories fared during the recent riots and they said the factory was saved. I bought a pair to show my support and they were much appreciative. The boot world is fascinating. I bought a pair of Waxi boots from South Africa. It's a kind of boot the armies down there used to wear. Maybe you can get a pair and review them.

    The Vellies are a nod to the traditional southern African shoes of the same name. Shortened from "veldskoene" (FELT-skoona), which literally translates to "field shoe." The preferred pronunciation, at least directly from Afrikaans, is "FELL-ys," although anything that gets you in the ballpark is good enough.
    Great video, regardless. Thanks for putting in the work for us curious minds with shallow pockets.

    Lovely boot collection and good analysis! Much appreciated. Gave me ideas! Lucky you, free boots👍 I’ve only got 1 pair of “zip” boots but for what I need em for I’m thankful 😄 just got a pair on Julian engineer boots and they fit me right out of the box. Little bit of boot stretch and they’re perfect. True to size at least mine. Vibram and Catpaw soles. Have RW 2268s that fit just fine but these are a step above foresure. Been wearing em in for 4 days. Feel good. I love the toe box on the John Lofgrens. Hey anyone what’s your go to for boot grease? I use Huberds but not sure it’s the best.

    40 boots is a lot, especially since you probably also wear other footwear at least some of the time. Even if you are in the trades, you probably only need at most 5 pair of boots (one pair of work boots, one backup, 1 casual boot, 1 dressy boot, and one rain or snow boot). and if you are not in the trades, then maybe just 3. Add a variety of colors and you are up to maybe 5 or 6, 8 at most.
    I posted recently on a shoe forum about this topic since my last count of shoes and boots in my current rotation (not counting very old shoes I don't ever wear) is in the low 30s, maybe 32 or 33. Some are seasonal, like boat shoes and sandals for summer, and boots for winter, and others not. But even still, while it is nice to have options, like a variety of colors and styles, in a rotation of nice shoes, and boots along with beaters for bad weather. But even accounting for that, I am hard pressed to say any man needs more than 20 or 25 pairs of shoes and boots, and if I were a minimalist, which I am not, I would say nobody really needs more than 5 or 6 at any given time.
    But that said, you are a guy who reviews boots and other gear so it only makes sense you would acquire so many boots. Sell, or donate the bottom third immediately. Given your platform, I am sure they could be gone in a few days.

    Your Woolrich comment on the narrow last - this is the biggest thing for me, finding the boot maker with the right last. And why Carmina is my favorite. You can have any boot or shoe made in any of their lasts. Wish you would review one of their jump boots. I know it’s a little on the dressier side, but their boots can kick through a wall, way tougher than you’d think. Anyway, for me, the last is everything.
    I have way too many dress boots, mostly Alden and Carmina, but my Beckett Simonon “Nolan” boots deserve a mention, because I have intentionally tried to destroy them by hiking with them, and warehouse/forklift duty, but with Renovateur and shoe cream they polish up and are just looking better and better. I do not regret that purchase at all.
    Thanks for the awesome video, excellent content as usual. ✌️

    Bought the Origin Bison, looks nice but is just ok. Im old enough I was looking for a really good boot and saw one of your videos mentioning Whites. Went to the website and thought wow that s a lot of money for some boots. I wanted something nice looking for riding my motorcycle so I ordered a pair of Whites/ Max Schaff 4Q. I had to wait 6 weeks for them to arrive but boy was it worth the wait. After 5 minutes of wearing them I realized Ive been wearing garbage shoes for the last 40 years. I can see a few different Whites in my future there just that good. Thanks for these videos I get it now . I doubt the Origin boots will ever be worn now which seems like a waste but its just the reality of the quality difference.

    How do you rotate your boots? In my honest opinion you've got many boots that are designed for the same kind of job for example your Smokejumper/Jobmaster/Builder Pro Boots. I've got plenty of boots of that sort and can't decide how to rotate between them... 😅

    In all seriousness though, after thirty years in the Army, my favorite boots were the Cochran II’s. (Soft leather jump-style).
    That’s why I absolutely love my Iron Rangers. They remind me of when I was a young buck-sergeant, trying to figure things out.
