My dad has had severe foot issues most of my life. Plantar faciatis and whatnot. He was a 6'6 trucker that lumped all of his own loads, and was often made to do things two or three men would usually do thanks to his size (I'm talking about moving 300-500lbs of rolled linoleum flooring, by hiself). Anyway due to the issues with his feet he broke down and bought a pair of Whites boots back when we lived maybe 45 mins from Spokane (also where he worked) in the early 90's. He's worn almost them every day ever since, except for the month or so that he had sent them back to be completely rebuilt. And boy did the rebuild them. Almost everything newly constructed except for the tongue. He said these were the only boots he'd ever had that would keep him out if immense pain. These boots are absolutely the real deal.

@sackman1886 7 месяцев назад

In the 1950s, when my dad was working in the woods as a forester in Oregon, he wore a pair of White caulk boots, every day. Later, in the early '70s, when I was working fire protection for the Oregon State Forestry, Whites were the boots everyone wanted to have. It's not a matter of style, it's performance that counts. When your life and livelihood depend on your equipment, generations have found that Whites are the best.

White's is truly the best made off the shelf boot you can buy. Everyone else uses plyrib (gemming) which is only glued to the insole and then stitched to the upper and welt. I have a lot of respect for these guys. At under $1,000 these boots are a steal. I do this every day. So I know what it takes to hand welt a boot. Great video and collaboration. I really enjoy your videos.

@sevalle 7 месяцев назад

I'd love to see a apples to apples comparison of why these are the best boots (besides the hand sewn welt) and put them up against Nicks and JK all side by side

@sackman1886 7 месяцев назад

From everything I've heard is that hand sewn is more of a philosophical preference, and not necessarily any additional quality or reliability. Nicks and JK probably have just as high of durability, but hand sewn is that little extra something that maybe only the person wearing that boot knows about, and appreciates. If you're crazy into boots, then maybe it's that little extra nod to craftsmanship and made in America that you are after. I think it's very cool, but not necessarily a huge differentiator.

@SparkyP320 7 месяцев назад

@EssenceofPureFlavor 7 месяцев назад

@@sackman1886There's definitely a difference. Standard stitchdown has better water resistance, but the rolled welt can be resoled more before needing a rebuild. (Since a new welt can be sewn on). Supposedly more flexible too all else being equal, but I'm not sure I buy that one.

First and foremost I want to thank you for these vids and for sharing your passion for craftsmanship. I’m probably twice your age, I was born in 59, there’s so few folks who truly understand, much less appreciate, true hand crafted goods like this. Really refreshing. From a technical and practical standpoint, is the handwelting actually contributing to improved durability, serviceability or functionality? I’ve been looking at the Nick’s Charley that appears to use similar Siedel tannery leather and fully stitched and nailed construction, I recall watching a vid you did that counted 80+ nails. Aside from supporting this art of hand welting, at the cost of very long wait times, are the White’s functionally superior to the Nicks in a practical sense? How about Truman’s and why are Wesco $500 pricier?

I think the most important about arch support is when to use it and when to use more flat or barefoot shoes. I like arch support and thick soles for when I'm hiking or on rough terrain but for walking on the city it kills my feet. I have high arches, I used orthopedic insoles as a child and I really love walking barefoot or with flat footwear and also love arch support.

I would love to see a video (or series) about military boots; specifically marine corps issued and/or authorized. When I enlisted in 2006 we had just transitioned to the new coyote (tan) boots and comfort/quality sucked. Over time the designs got better but they’re not great. The best quality is arguably Danner (RAT boots); but I’ve also had a pair of those that didn’t make it past a year of moderate use before they were completely unserviceable. Before getting out in 2015 I found Belleville was the best for value and quality and of love to see how much better (or worse) things looks currently. Love the channel and the content

First off, I really enjoy your channel and I love your collaboration boots. That being said, I live on a mule ranch in Eastern Idaho and typically I can't wear boots without serious lugs and also typically waterproof which means I can't wear any (that I've seen) of your collaboration boots unfortunately. When I first saw this boot I thought, "Hey, that's essentially a riding heel and sole!" and sure enough, you mention it could be used for that but there's a critical flaw in the boot for that purpose. You cannot wear a boot with those type of tie rivets in a stirrup. There's a reason cowboy boots are smooth in the front and that's because the top of the stirrup will drive those rivets into your shin and joint right at the top of your foot. You CAN get away with normal laces ( I typically wear Ariat Terrain lace up endurance boots for riding) but you can't have an extended rivet like these boots and ride in a saddle with them. They'll get hung up in the top of the stirrup and be driven into your foot and shin, I'd bet my life on it. On that note, since I'm a huge fan I'll extend an open invitation for you to come ride a mule yourself whenever you like and see what you think about that. Heck, maybe it'll inspire you to make a real collaboration riding boot =)

White's absolutely makes a nice pair of boots, but coming from someone who owns them all and lives in the same city they all operate out of, They've more or less gone down the same path as Wesco and have fallen a bit in terms of quality ever since they sold to Japan, especially considering their price. Now there are always pro's and con's, but regardless, Nick's Boots is still king when considering all aspects of ownership. The quality remains consistent far, above and beyond that of White's, by large. Beyond Nick's? Though the catalogue is much more limited, Jk's is unmatched.

Do the Ojai City Boot from Aether - very curious on whether the near $500 price tag is justified compared to some of the other styles you've showcased at a similar price point.

Went through a lot of white smoke jumpers back in my Hotshot days. I think the quality went down a little in the mid 90s, and the one's that had the older White's logo seemed built better with thicker leather. I remember the first year Nicks came out. The soles smiled at the toe of the boot if i remember correctly they fixed the problem fast, but i stuck with White's.

Sorry if I missed it and you already have a video, but I would really really appreciate your thoughts and opinions on Russell Moccasin. Especially after their change in management.

Kinda reminds me of a longer version of the German ankle boots used during WW2. 👍

I know a logger who has a 25 y/o pair of corks. His house caught fire & his boots were burned up a bit. White's said they'll try to repair them, if not they'll build him a 2nd pair. Corks are nailed down.

Rose, gotta cut a pair of Dievier Prospect Boots in half. They're just like the captains from Thursday. Made in Mexico, value proposition, and similar construction. Would love to a comparison.

Great looking boot!! I don't see how you can ever break in these boots, given how many nice pair of custom boots you have. :) I suppose if you're on your feet 11-15 hrs day/7 days a week. Ha. Do you get any pushback when you say that Whites is the best, vs Nicks vs JK vs?? I bought a pair of JK's Bison boots solely based on your review of saying they were the best boots you've ever worn. Now I want a pair of Whites... Ugh.
