Nice video. It’s a great boot and I got a little addicted. I started with a ash gray pair and fell in love with them instantly (they look fantastic with black pants), a couple weeks later I purchased the black and the olive ones and finally a brown pair. So I have four pairs now and I love them all.
I love your reviews! I also live in chicago and thinking about visiting notre this month to see if they have camion boots. btw where did you get your glasses from? i love them
I'm not sure notre carry's Our Legacy any more but give it a try. I know SVRN carry's them. Appreciate the love. My glasses are JMM the style is called the Julien
I have had mine for a number of years and love them! been trying Josepht maro boot. seems fine for the price point. I would personally pay the extra to have the real thing
As far as I know they are a goodyear welt construction, why you said blake? I asked to our legacy, 2022 collection. Also to me they definitely aren’t a summer boots, leather is thick. I am in southern europe though so that might explain differences if you are in a colder climate
My winter gets to avarage -10 Celsius. Leather is way thinner than something I would wear during the winter. I guess I would say more of a dress boot leather than a work boot leather my apologies. Regarding Construction, someone said they were Goodyear welted too. That would blow my mind for a few reasons. There no stitching on the welt it self. Water resistance is terrible. And I can see the stitching in the sole but not the welt. I could be totally wrong but until I see they ripped apart il going with Blake. I have ALOT of Goodyear welted boots "rm Williams, JM Westin, Alden, viberg, trickers, Edward green. And I can see the welt and construction. I really appreciate the conversation I'll be at Our legecy retailer today and will ask
Where did you buy your Camion boots? the leather part of the zipper ripped for mine as i pulled it up too and SSENSE refunded me 10%, cost barely 12$ cad to remake one at the cobbler
I got them from a local boutique. I'm not overly worried about it. No one see the zipper when I wear them. Thanks for the recommendation. Ill look into the repair
Take this for what it is worth, but the camion boot may not even be Blake stitched, seen a video of it being deconstructed, and it was clearly cemented :( . The stitching only connects the vibram outsole to the midsole, not to the insole like a true Blake stitch, essentially the stitching is just for looks.
Hey James thanks for the content - I was wondering if your familiar with Armando Cabral boots and if so your opinion on quality - looking to maybe acquire a pair.
They seem cool. Tod Snyder sells them so they have to be at least somewhat good. I wish they talked about the construction of the boots more but seem cool.
@@JamesHerlihy yeah that’s what I was thinking, their hiding something - made in Italy without any specifics could mean anything. Might as well say Made in some dudes garage.
@@JamesHerlihy well they were on the Allen Edmonds site for like 1/2 off - so not full commitment lol 😂 hey on another note - you might be the guy to know but on the Levi’s 66 you like so much how do they fit compared to the 47s - do they taper some - I got a pair of the 150th and they don’t fit anything like Levi’s I remember from the 90s
I love how informative and unbiased this review was and how you were able to discover all the quirks of the boot through consistent wear - amazing video!
