I'm fairly new to wearing boots but this is a golden rule I've learned: buy boots that have blake stitching or a goodyear welt. These methods of construction are superior to glued on soles.
USA made Danner boots are my go to since the late 80’s as a hiking kid. My adult versions have been resoled many time and feel amazing. My Redwings are hit or miss. I spent $280 on China made and they were trash. The same as the one pair of foreign pair Danner I bought tbh.
Most people don't realize how low quality YSL (and most high-end fashion designers) boots are. For that price, you can have 2 pairs of a real boot, built 3 times better than those YSLs, and for less than $1000 a partially hand-built fiddle-size and much better leather like preview CF Stead Janus but If the logo is important to you, take the Celine or YSL but poor quality for the price
Thursday boots are a great cost-effective choice as well... Also for those who like Doc Martens, take a look at the reviews done by "Rose Anvil" and "Stridewise" on the Doc Marten boot.....
Cowboy boots. Just get a pair of Luchesse boots. Classic design. Very well made. Get it in smooth leather in plain black or dark brown leather, croc, or bullhide. If you have the bucks, splurge on a pair of Caiman croc. Looks great with jeans or plain slacks and even a suit if you live in Texas. Or get a pair of lace-up packers. A pair of Chippewa lace-up packers are classic. Tough, long lasting. You can go horse back riding, tromping in the woods, or just walking about town. Looks great with jeans.
They run a little big. I was fitted for a 10 US in the Red Wing Iron Rangers when I typically wear a 10.5 US in sneakers. They have a size chart on their website that covers all major shoe measurements if you want to take a look yourself.
Redwing has great tech in store. They have a sizing stand that comprehends all the features of each foot individually and then you can find a boot that fits accordingly. For instance, my right foot has a wider toe box EE. I was buying E for years. Accommodating for that one foot made my boots all the better.
It’s subjective. I hike long trail. Maybe looks wise they aren’t as nice looking, but functionality for the price I disagree with you. I did the entire AT in the ankle version without replacing them.
That’s not surprising at all. They seem to have gone for the more iconic pieces. Thursday being good value has little to do with this video, I think. It’s a younger brand than everything here.
@@arthursimsa9005 doesn’t matter what you say. You troll people with zero logic and actually helping them prove their even more right. Lol i saw your comments. You think these are dress boots lololololol search up what dress boots mean and I’m aure the internet will school you too
Okay but they are right with Solovair>Doc Martens tho Tecovas are kinda mid. I'd compare them to the red wings, or Chelsea, just for the aesthetic...yeah it worked that SINGLE time but....
I mean yes, if you want boots reviewed for their quality. This is GQ, of course the perspective is style. I think the intended audience is quite clear.
Sorry. But if you're going for dress-up boots, then okay. 'Some' of your choices were okay, at best. For an everyday man, wearing an everyday boot, just not for going to workin, for a very comfatable boot, you can't beat the orignal Dr. Martins, or even the Tan Brahma Mens Defender, or tan Wolverine's WITHOUT the steel toe-caps. Just MY opinion of course. I gave you a like for your presentation. But Sorry, I didn't agree with your choices.
