Fun story. I bought a pair of these Ariat Ostrich at a thrift store for $50. They squeaked like mad. Lots of baby powder fixed that. I’ve found the leather to be very tight(doesn’t breathe) making my feet sweat. Very comfortable though.

From the stories that I’ve been told as a Texan, ostrich leather is mostly appealing due to it’s freshness. Wearing thicker boots in this heat is not always the most comfortable, so this leather offers a nice little balance

Never really thought about the history of ostrich leather specifically. Pretty interesting! I only have a belt made from it so I wouldn't be able to test maximum durability, but it's held up great over at least 6 years and I love the look. It's a little too loud for me on shoes but a great look on a belt. It was surprising how weak it seemed compared to its reputation.

@stevehall735 6 месяцев назад

@RoseAnvil could you do an episode or two on wide width boots? It would be great to know which use wider footbeds versus which just add extra fabric onto the D bed. Also, knowing which have wider toe boxes would be helpful.

Just found your channel, so maybe this is a bit too off topic. I am curious on your evaluation of motorbike boots, Daytona is the alleged peak in quality. Of course the safety aspects are rather special, with metal plates in the sole and such, but the judgement of a professional would be very interesting :)

@stevencochrane115 6 месяцев назад

I live in Thailand and one of the main sources of leather here ia buffalo hide, from the Asian water buffalo. When I was lad (a long, long time ago) I had some saddle bags custom made for my big bike. I was advised to use buffalo leather, because it does not burn, the bags being located right above the exhaust when in situ.They never did burn too, so I guess I was well advised. Any thoughts or knowledge on this fact?

After watching so many of your vidies evaluating the boot on sight, less x-ray vision, proved a mix bag of nuts, but the price was soooo tempting. The boots could be a great candidate for a bisection- A diehard fan, JP

@djmuller2349 6 месяцев назад

I have Ostrich in leg, smooth, and of course quilled. In quality boots my favorite thing is how they go on a bit snug and loosen just right in the first few minutes. Correct fitting ostrich boots should do this every time. The leather also breathes better than bovine, and most other leathers. One of my favorite hides…and I have all the hides Ariat “donated” and many more. Ostrich, in all its forms remains one of my favorite.

@smackdadious 5 месяцев назад

@walterdavisii8936 6 месяцев назад

all i have worn is ostrich since 2016. The look is great. They are more comfortable but that could be just the extras added because of the price. The main thing is they are easier to maintain. My cow leather before took a lot of polishing to keep them good looking, maybe weekly. The ostrich, I would clean and polish once a month. They were fine after rain and easy to knock off dust. I only replaced the Cav's and Lamas because of a bad sole replacement job during covid labor shortage and my normal boot smith was closed. I've had Cavanders, Tony Lama, and BlackJack ostrich.

Decades ago I bought a pair of ostrich Justin's that were ostrich all the way to the top. They seemed like that hide was significantly thicker than described here, but whatever, I liked them and they were comfortable and durable enough for the occasions I wore them. These Ariats are better built than I thought, being 3/4 welt, pretty traditional builds. I thought they'd be tennis shoe garbage. Good video.

Good looking boots and I know he'll only wear them for like parties so I am not concerned about the durability. Cool to see a video about the benchmade line. Granted I was hoping for more a a wear review but seeing it destroyed for science is pretty cool.

@axellopez9400 5 месяцев назад

They are very comfortable with very little break in and they do look unique.

@pepleatherlab3872 6 месяцев назад

It's an odd aspect of Ostrich leather. The strongest flesh segment of ostrich is the calf and foot, which isn't cherished as much because it lacks the signature plumage pattern. It does however have an interesting, almost reptilian pattern that's quite nice. I occasionally use it in crafting wallets and it's inexpensive, handsome, light weight and extremely long lasting. *shrugs*

@patientzero291 6 месяцев назад

They should use the ostrich skin for smaller part of the upper lining like for cap toe's only to look unique.

@sinakaedwards2009 6 месяцев назад

I have never wore this model of boot, but I have three pair of Ariats. The first thing I noticed is they make you walk a little different, which is better for your posture. I think it has to do with their stabilization footbed. They are comfortable right out of the box. All 3 soles are rubber and work well for traction.

@xxarea83xx 5 месяцев назад

I love my Justin full quill ostrich boots. Tho, with the cold weather around, I think I’ll be saving them for spring and summer. My feet were freezing in the fall. Probably too thin a leather. However, so soft and comfortable. I think ostrich is worth the price. But if you don’t want to spend the full quill price, buy smooth ostrich. Same soft leather, but without the extreme quill bumps.

@timothyweers8054 6 месяцев назад

My experience with ostrich boots is that they stretch a lot more than leather. They are soo soft wearing. If you purchase a pair, try them on, you may need to get a more narrow pair to fit properly after they stretch.

@JRenardLeatherCo 6 месяцев назад

as a leatherworker, i can say, for certain, that normal wear & tear has less of an effect on ostrich hide compared to that of cowhide. you can easily scratch boot leather with your thumbnail. the same scratching on ostrich leaves no real marks. with the same amount of use, it will last a noticeably longer, and have less wear marks than cowhide. IMHO, ostrich boots are best for casual wearing, or riding, but they’re a waste of money if one uses them for general choring or as work boots.

@bjgamez 5 месяцев назад

Ostrich, for me, is by for the most comfortable leather once they are broken in. I’ve worn all types of different leathers, and wear boots every day…hands down, ostrich. That’s all I wear. I have smooth ostrich for casual and full quill for everyday/formal wear.

@timbattle3415 6 месяцев назад

Knocked loose for the win

@markedis5902 6 месяцев назад

Ostrich really needs preparing before use. The easiest way to do this is to paint the flesh side with Tokonole and burnish with a glass slicker. If it’s still loose and fuzzy do it again. Next hammer down the bumps so it keeps the look without being rough and always back it with either 3-4oz cow or non stretch membrane and 3-4oz cow

I have a pair of ostrich skin Luccheses I bought in December 2012. My wife gave me a pair of calf/cow Luccheses as a wedding gift when we got married in September 2013. So, my boots are 10 and almost 11 years old. Between the two, the Ostrich has held up better over time. I was never consistent about conditioning them and the cow leather boots have cracked in a few places. Ostrich has no problems whatsoever. Now, I am not a hard user of these boots. I am not a cowboy (I’m sure you’re shocked). But it may be that Ostrich just wears longer with less maintenance. That quality would be hard to measure and quantify for a RU-vid video.
