Kieth - love your videos. I’m looking at getting my first pair of PNW boots. Like you, customer service is huge for me and I’ve spoken to Frank’s wife (co-owner) 2x who has been amazing to speak with. I’m sold and I’m buying first PNW boots from Franks and I have you to thank for introducing them to me via your impromptu, but very well done, videos. Thank you sir!
I’m going bougie on my Commander’s. I loved my Patriots but purchased them according to Nicks personally sizing me and they were way off on my size. I just sold them to help finance my T1’s. Franks fit me and pulled out a pair of a Front Range in my size and wow he hit my size perfectly. They are rebuilding my White’s Foreman’s to a Rainier 55 last and an MTO pair of 4” T2 Highlander’s for weekends. I wanted a pair of Wilshires next but those will have to wait as my wife saw Michelle’s boots and talked to her about them and now she’s wanting a pair 😂

The good word about the quality of Frank’s Boots is getting out! In the last 3 weeks I ordered Front Range, Awesome Boot, Patriots and T1 Commanders. Michelle, Veronica and Ashton invest time with their customers BECAUSE THEY TRULY CARE. I attest to this fact. The truth is easy to speak.
Fantastic boots. I was thinking about getting a pair. I'm trying to decide between the Wilshire and the Front Range. I can't seem to find much info on the difference. Do you happen to know? Thanks so much man!
A rare Johnson sighting! You were a big part of me going with the Wilshires for my first pair of Frank's, now I'm eyeballing my third pair from them. Primarily a White's guy, but you can't beat how great Frank and Michelle are.
Important tip. When oiling and conditioning your boots, do not apply to the eyelets area as it will soften and stretch the leather around the eyelets and cause them to tear out.
idk.. i wish they had 8inch Patriots.. atleast Drews has the 8 inch.. rly don't want another 10 inch boot.. not that its bad., but idk.. really wish there was the option
Great review, I prefer blue collar workers reviews! I’m a Nick’s and wesco fan boy but thank’s to you review I’ll be looking into Frank’s. Thank for sharing and knowledge of leather I’ll definitely looking at this boots.
I had a custom pair of Lace to toe commanders made several yrs ago. Best boots Ive ever owned, made to the shape of my my foot and ankle. They weigh exactly 8lbs, 4 lbs each. They use the thickest leather you can use for boots, and on the Lace to toe version its double layered leather on the toe vamp! You really have to oil the inside of the boot to keep it soft and comfy. They will not wear out like your common store bought boot, but if you're hard enough on them you can get em rebuilt. Frank's is the best around compared to others based on quality, customer service, and turnaround times.
I don’t have Franks but I have JK’s Climber , Super Duties and a pair of Whites Smoke Jumpers on the way. Once you wear a pair of these boots you’re done. You will never be able to wear Redwings Danners Thorogoods any mass produced boot again. So before you buy keep that in mind
I had considered that other company, but after a couple of your videos about the Patriot ill be ordering from Frank's as soon as they are back in the shop after the new year. Best of everything in the New Year to you and yours sir. Keeps the content coming brother. God bless
2:04 damn me too Anything that fits my palm has a half inch of flop and anything that fits my fingers makes my palm fold like an envelope. The _only_ pair of any type I've ever had fit well were these really supple Tillman tig welding goat (kid maybe?) skin gloves - not suited for *anything* other than sitting at a bench and mitigating some heat, even damn gardening gloves are uncomfortable. I used my beat up backup pair when working on my car one time and the grease/oil alone just trashed them, stiff and stained and worthless for anything else after that - at least I won't feel bad now about _really_ ruining them I have no use for something proper so it's hard to shell out the money for a custom fit - but I'd like to have them for when the need arises. These look nice and don't break the bank thanks for the review (buffalo leather is fantastic btw, just gorgeous)
great looking boots I don't know if people know Frank brother name is Nick and Frank they started Nicks Boots Co ! Frank left Nicks I think 2016 started Franks Boots
