I was (and maybe still am) planning to buy a pair for Craft and Glory boots. There aren't may review videos on KZfaq for Craft and Glory. This video is super helpful. I waited for it after seeing the unboxing and first impression video.

I've definitely been interested in these. They don't have to be Nick's lvl build quality, but if they are comparable with Red Wing or JK's 300 line? Well for the price they'd be a steal.

Spot on review. I ordered these in black and specified an extra midsole since the online pictures didnt show it, they put that in for free which was cool. I also installed a leather insole due to the screws and the boots being a bit large. They're really comfy now. I knew the pull tab would be caught on pants easily so I asked to have them without which i do not regret. I'll note that the black colour scuffs very easily and shows a blue/grey underneath.

Thank's for the review. You just saved me some money. I might try Canada West Moorby. Not a fan of the orange leathers. Including copper rough and though.

I bet they don’t have an anvil or something. The stack should be nailed from the other end. If the insole is really veg tan then the right sock liner/cushion combo would work. Having a double leather insole is a solution, but you’re also losing interior volume and instep. If they have brand name sole options I’d get one of them. If they’re willing to make these mods per order then they have potential. I wasn’t considering them, but I’m sure a lot of people are grateful for this video. I would ask them to do a thin layer of cushion and a leather sock liner over the heel section - for those of you who want to buy. This would cover up the screws and give you a leather footbed.. assuming it’s actually leather and not fiberboard. Because putting a foam insert in over a leather footbed is unusual 🤔 Good video, solid review 😎🤜🤛

Great review. Really appreciate your honesty

I am genuinely amazed that they used SCREWS in the heel of the boot. Its usually normal to have screws going into the actual sole, but down from the insole??? That is just awful.

You shouldn't have to do this, but would turning the screws drive them in deeper and alleviate the pain?

Great review and very detailed, good job witht he cinematogrphy too. i was just wondering what are the capabilities of the boot with water, is it waterproof?

So why not get Thursday boots? its $200 as well. I've heard they are good boots probably with not great materials. just trying to understand, why choose these instead of Thursday, I'm assuming they might have refunds as well. tongue on these boots look very thin too.

I was wondering if perhaps you had looked into BLKBRD Shoemaker, also out of India, more dressy lasts in general, but one of the best values I can think of (along with Craft and Glory, Luos Jiet, etc). I have their Dixon captoe in their pullup black. The upper domestic leather isn't the best thing in the world, but overall for the price I doubt you could beat them?

There you go, found your one month review on this and as I've supposed the bad undersides of the daily use are coming up... Boots look great for a city guy that wants to play the dandy in town with, but not that rugged boot meant for being bitted and abused in a mountains farm. Thanks a lot mate for the honest review...! You rock as always...;-) By the is you can give me the link where you bought the leather insole, thanks in advance mate...!
