Located in Spokane Washington, Frank’s Boots manufactures handmade, custom-fit boots. We were founded to focus on the core qualities held dear by Frank himself. We focus on quality not quantity, performing custom fits with the highest precision, and make a quality product we can be proud of in our locally-owned shop.
That's very instructive and helps a lot for decision regarding the last choice and overall comfort in the boot...! Thanks a lot for the clear explanation.
I recently tried a pair of high arched boots. Absolutely murdered my feet. Was in them for 5 minutes. Felt a pop in my right arch and still have pain a day later.
@@kylegilmore3810 why do i have an inkling most people consider you a poorly educated asshole? When genetics dictates you have weird feet you got weird feet. Exercise can and does help, but it still won't ever make your feet completely normal.
Thanks Frank! I just received my MTO Ryker AT boots about 2 weeks ago now. I went with an 8" build, same green canvas, chocolate roughout bottom, smooth upper, a pull loop, soft toe, and the honey vibram sole. My goal with these is to be a universal work/chore boot, along with hiking and hunting. I probably have about 50 hours into them so far, and the break-in has been a piece of cake. The build quality is perfect, they look fantastic, and you're right, the canvas seems very supportive and sturdy. It will be interesting to see how this thing patinas.
What is the differerence between a Type 2 Highlander and a Ground Pounder optioned with 1977 Last / #4 Toe and Vibram 100 Sole and Heel? I just bought such an animal...
I really like how the red tone of the marine cordovan shows. It’s very subtle. I wouldn’t have thought of combining it with the mocha leather. What a cool outcome!
One thing that has me ordering any pairs of boot is the uneven stitching. As a silversmith, making everything look even and straight is a must but every bootmaker in the USA cant stich a straight or contoured line for shit aside from Koreans. Good grief, your asking $500+for a pair of boots with uneven stitching. Shame.
High arch boots are so very comfortable for exactly the reason he states. One thing to note however is that the high arch does change your entire walking posture. I feel it most in my lower back. It takes a bit to get used to and I recommend that you wear the boots only for an hour or two for the first few days. Then go to three to four hours for a few days and so on. It allows your body to adjust. They should have a physical therapist explaining your body posture on one of these videos.
No a resole isn't necessary--the stitching will wear through, but it it McKay stitched on the inside, as well as glued and screwed. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to our store at 509-309-2903
I just recently heard about youn's. I start a new job in a bit and my corks are a no go, but a steel toe I need. Your phone # is long distance for me (PA), do you have e-mail?
Franks is a us company so you should be able to call them from inside the us without issues. Unless you have a phone plan from 1999 still no one charges extra for long distance phone calls.
The commander model starts at $575, the belt/buckle, added wings and embroidered bat were all customizations that were add ons. For more info, please feel free to reach out to one of our sales associates at 509-309-2903
There’s no way in hell those boots could be possibly comfortable. Our feet are flat, and they were designed that way to keep us balanced. These boots absolutely defy the principle of balance and healthy podiatry. They look like high heels (Heyyyyyyyyyy-SNAP)
Would love to see a video on the ground pounder. Basically none on RU-vid except this short video by Frank. Just sent in my fit sheet today. Smooth chocolate upper and lowers and a natural stain looks killer. I think you posted some on your Facebook page Feb. 5th of 2023 that are almost exactly what I’m going for. Love the passion and that’s why I’m going to support you guys!
