If you take all the shoes in the dapper segment of footwear, you can basically break them into two groups: leather, and rubber. Of course there are hybrid variations of each with rubber studded leather soles like those on Taft shoes, or the Danite soles found on Allen Edmonds or the reproductions on Thurdsday Boots. Then there are the beautiful treated leather soles on brands like Alden and Paul Evans, the commando soles on combat boots, or the cork nitrile soles on Red Wing Iron Rangers. Your choice should be appropriate to the environment you plan on wearing them in, because falling on your face is never in style.

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.

Which shoe soles are your favorite? Let me know in the comments!

@AtmosBLW 6 лет назад

I'm just amazed how good your review/how-to/breakdowns are. It's shocking how little I know about my footwear!

@Mr71paul71 4 года назад

My favorite sole is the all leather sole with hobnails and iron heel and toe plates, basically the British army ammo book.

@RevJamesCostello 5 лет назад

I have most of the soles featured here. One of my favourites - and it surely must become more popular - is the ridgeway sole.

For work I’ll go with the Redwing. Great for walking beams and driving trucks. First class reviews as always.

One of my favorite videos so far.

I'm a very recent subscriber and I'm impressed with your videos. Couple of things that I like about them: 1. You have an impressive collection of footwear. Haven't seen but a handful of your videos at this point so I don't know completely what you have and don't have. 2. I like that your shoes/boots look like you actually wear them and that they have left the house to explore the world. I've seen too many postings from other guys that their shoes/boots are pristine looking after what they claim to be months and years of wear. I'm one of those guys that has basically 3 types of shoes/boots. The ones that I keep polished up and nice looking, the ones that I just wear and let them age naturally with the elements, and then I have those that I've just taken out and had fun in by going splashing through puddles, mudding, or working out in the garage when I probably should have worn something else. 3. The last thing that I really like about your videos is that you are a guy like myself that doesn't have really big feet. I generally wear an 8.5 or 9 depending on the style and manufacturer, but most of the videos are from guys that have much larger feet and it isn't all a good way to see how the shoes/boots will work on a smaller foot. Plan to take time to sort through your videos but again, thank you for posting videos that are well though out and done. Any chance you have a collection of taller boots that you haven't shared yet?

I am interested in shoes and all your videos about them are fantastic. I learned a lot about shoes especially soles after watching your videos. Excellent work. Thank you. Greetings from Sri Lanka.

I have some of those shoes with commando sole. They are made in Northampton England. I like them, actually. Yes they wouldn't be dressy enough to wear with a suit but I like the fact that I can walk in countryside with them and yet they have really good leather and look of great quality and style

Vibram and Dainite for sure. Man those Long Branches look killer. I have mini lugs on my resoled Iron Rangers and those are cool too, a little over the top for LA weather.

@m0nsnor547 3 года назад

this man, needs more subs and likes

@atsylor5549 3 года назад

The raw cord sole seemed pretty cool and I really liked the look of the cord pieces scattered throughout the sole.

@ladydee4692 3 года назад

Crepe soles are amazing! I have them on my wallabee boots, I always travel in them. They are superior to sneakers

@maverickfox4102 3 года назад

When I ordered myself a pair of British Ammo Boots I removed hobb nails and metal plates and had the Shoemaker add rubber under the soles for better traction in addition the protector was also added to make the soles last longer.

Great review and information.

@allen31951 6 лет назад

Thanks Carl. Always enjoy your videos. Those Red Wings are a great boot. Need a cleaning which would make a great video. Would sure like to see you clean and shine those boots in a “how to clean your boots” video.

@stevepanda1716 6 лет назад

I’m in New England, too. UConn in CT and Husson Univ in ME. I find semi-dress shoes with some tread from Johnston-Murphy to be invaluable in looking pretty well dress while negotiating the snow and slush.

@mr.v1014 4 года назад

Thanks carl, after about 20 pairs of shoe's and boots I just recently started to think about the importance of the bottom sole. I love the look of the leather dress shoe sole but I'm really starting to appreciate the grip of rubber. Also not a big fan of the noise of a leather sole, rubber is very quiet.

When at work i wear the Red Wing work boot, with the commando sole, but while out an about i'm a fan of my Iron Rangers.

@jamesianwright532 4 года назад

I had a pair of two strap monk shoes re soled with a valbrim mini commando soles with a leather mid sole added. A bit stiff at first. Broke in in about a month. Now my go to friends cottage shoes.
