okay but just cause you cut in boot in half doesn't mean your actually done any real research and since you never actually wore any of the boots or shoes to work, walk long distances or for a heavy workout that you cut in half you never really tested the boot or shoe out. Your trying to give advise to the boot community most whom use it to work but you actually never wore it to work. Rose anvil you have lots of fans are are trying to make yourself seem like a boot expert which you are not. Your just a lame guy cutting boots in half a reason most boot companies don't even really want to sponser you. Work boots like red wings are designed to be used in labor intensive work so by you cutting it in half and trying to make an assumption on whether they are comfortable or not based on the insole is inconclusive. have you even heard of work shoes. Your not a shoe expert. Just stick to your nikes and timberlands like the new jersey and new york clowns.

I took part in many barefoot runs and hikes with people and I will say that strengthening your feet and legs that way is very tough but very satisfying. I recently bought some Danner logger boots to try high arch boots based on the videos you've made. They are very comfortable and very easy on your calves. They're a little weird on my knees though. Something I did notice based on these logger boots is that my lower back feels a lot better and I've noticed my posture has gotten better. There's benefits from both extremes of the spectrum of footwear and everyone's body is different. You don't know what will work until you try it.

@chellsee4167 Жыл бұрын

This is how I feel when it comes to barefoot vs arch support. There's a time and place for everything. I think it's important to strengthen your feet. It can be done without the need for minimalist shoes, so it's not necessary to spend a lot or any money at all. And I think it's also important to have support when and where it is needed, varying by individual preferences. I love minimalist shoes for a few reasons and I've been minimalist for over 5 years, and until recently I decided to reintroduce supportive shoes. I wear both and I like both. I'll express that sentiment when conversation comes up in barefoot groups and often times I get ripped apart for it. My response: what works best for one may not work best for everyone. The barefoot community can be a weird place. There's almost an elitist mentality when it comes to their ideals. And that's just something I cannot get behind.

I’ve been thinking about this exact thing. In my experience, it seems like both ends of the spectrum are both so far apart, that they are almost the same. I go barefoot most the time unless I am doing heavy work, then I’ll wear my boots. My boots, after being broken in, almost feel the same to me as being barefoot. If I wear tennis shoes for example, they feel foreign- like there’s a pressure point under my arch and another under my toes. My boots replicate that barefoot feeling with a shell around my foot, if that makes sense. Maybe that is just me- but it seems like the barefoot/arch support debate is more similar than it is different.

@user-yw4ej3ch7k Жыл бұрын

Great video, extremely helpful info. I have high arches, many injuries over the years. Plantar Fasciitis, bum knee and bad lower back. I got a pair two weeks ago, was afraid the high arch was going to be too much with my problems. Not so, I still have Fasciitis but I can walk without a limp after two weeks of wearing almost constantly. My posture has improved when wearing Whites. In other boots and shoes I locked my knees quite a bit when standing in place. (I know) Now that never happens, it took all of two days to adjust to the high arch. Now, the fasciitis is nearly gone, I'm no longer worried about how my feet will react when I start climbing ladders again (daily) and the clicking in my knee from a prior job injury is non existent and I'm finally getting back out and doing everything I loved doing before. These Whites are really something! Now if they'll just make my dog listen to me when I call him...

I had discovered your channel at the time and was doing my own research and found that I really liked these boots. Mine also are called "ramblers" they've since removed that name from the site.

Definitely happy with the purchase and this video validates the feeling further!

Two Month Review… Loving these - Look forward to these each day. Expensive alternative but liking what I have and pleased with my choice - your video got me there THX. Retired “Urban” Firefighter that ended up in early 2000’s with Whites Smokejumpers in the 55 Last after wearing thru several pair of Chippewa (zipper lace) and Thorogood 10” lace up. For farm work around the house - last year returned to a Thorogood 10” but with a wedge sole cowboy boot - been good but wanted more arch support with lace up snugness for walking hiking and as an alternate boot to the slip on wedge. Finding the wedge sole great to scrape off mud compared to the waffle-stomper tread pattern where mud clumps are always tracked inside… Having a previous pair of worn-in Whites - adjusted my boot size down a 1/2 size to accommodate a thin sock where my smokejumpers are sized for a wicking sock plus a heavy wool sock. After two months - using the round laces - the boot has stretched out nicely where the laces have pulled together to now have good looking space between the lace eyes. Going to switch to the provided leather laces as an experiment.

@hektik27 Жыл бұрын

Same thing here. I've always had an insane hatred any type of 'forced' arch support. Orthotics for years as a kid didn't help at all and just made me hurt. I was plenty active as a kid too, so it's not like I just didnt 'develop' an arched foot. I think some people are just born with naturally flat feet and most modern footwear doesn't really account for that. I'm a huge fan of barefoot shoes personally, though honestly I find the wider toebox/natural foot shape to be equally as important. Currently I'm breaking in a pair of redback boots, which have been the comfiest 'supportive' shoe I've ever had. They're not at all zero drop or minimal, but the arch in them is quite soft, and the toebox is super accomodating for a work boot. I also plenty of barefoot/minimalist footwear. The boots are super soft and comfortable for hard surface standing & manual labour type stuff, and my more barefoot footwear is great for walking and hiking for that ground feel and stability. I really enjoy having both options, and I don't think people need to be diehard in one camp. I still haven't been able to find a good wide toebox skate shoe however.

One is the result of billions of years of evolution and the other is just marketing for lazy feet. One is definitely better than the other. Your arch doesn't need support. It's a muscle. It needs to be worked. Ofcourse If you've always "supported" and weakened it since childhood, your feet can't do their job and need strange footwear to help them.

This guy has been sitting on this boot for like a year. The good ol Rambler. Usually there is a small wedge of leather that acts as the arch support in White’s and maybe Nicks Boots. This pair does not have that extra wedge but has the same arch support as the other boots built on this last. I wonder if the 2021 sole is curved because the outer pics show a void under the sole and it just works. I think Nicks and Franks only allows a wedge sole with an HNW last which doesn’t have arch support. This is a truly genius design, this style will be very popular.

I'd love to not have to wear the orthotics and just rely on the support of the boot but have never found one to work yet.

@@justinalexander8341 Howdy! So my experience (purchased about a month ago and I’ve worn these roughly 4 days a week) has been fantastic on the 55 last. I was genuinely concerned that the arch support would be TOO much. I’m so used to flat bottomed sneakers/shoes/boots that I thought the last may just not work for me. On the contrary, it’s been fun trying these out and while I still have a bit more break in to do these have already started moulding to my foot wonderfully. Your mileage may vary here, but I’m going to get the kilties; one, to fill some volume since I have fairly skinny ankles and two, because I want to see what these look like with them. I would 110% try out a high last boot from one the PNW brands. Especially if you require insoles in other boots. To save a few doll hairs you could try out a pair of Whites stichdown C350 Cruisers/Cutters/Ramblers (vs their full hand sewn stichdown) FYI- I purchased my Ramblers via Nepenthes New York.

I think these used to be called Ramblers. I have a pair and really dont like the arch. I have multiple pairs of logger whites and that arch is comfortable. The arch on my ramblers is too high on the outer edge of my foot. It would be great if they flattened that part out a bit while keeping the high arch on the inside of your foot. Other than that I really like them. The 2021 wedge sole is super cushy and grips ice really well. Edit: I’ve been wearing them for about 9 months now as work boots and hoping the arch will eventually mold to the shape of my foot. They are better now but I still have to often change them out for a lower arch boot toward the end of my shift.

I have extremely flat wide feet and suffered for years in boots with heels and arch supports, some were better than others and I played around with all sorts of orthotic insoles from super feet to flat fix and everything, I mean everything in-between. It sucks because usually 4e barely fits and anything less squishes my feet and are painful. I get uniform reimbursement for boots so I have tried literally everything. For years the rocky duty wellington in XW with a flat leather insole was my best combination but the outsoles wear out fast for me. Most boots I had stability issues...prone to rolling ankles and just dumb foot and ankle injuries. On a whim I figured I would go for the exact opposite of everything and get Belleville mini mils because why not, it's free. I have to say after about a week to get used to them and break the normal aching feet, knees, and back are almost non-existent after years of daily pain and it seems impossible to roll my ankles even when I step in random drops and holes which is somewhat frequent working in rural area. It might not work for everyone but the minimal Bellevilles seem to have solved all my issues but obviously not for everyone.

Completely agreed about the need for arch support depending on application. I tried doing heavy work on hard surfaces with barefoot shoes-with foot strengthening exercises, toe spacers etc.. I ended up injuring my feet. My approach now is to choose shoes (with varying levels of support) based my immediate use case that day or in that situation. I continue to sometimes wear zero drop shoes SOMETIMES & do foot stretching and strengthening exercises within the limits of real life with a family and a full time job. It’s often argued that our ancestors didn’t have or need arch support, and this continues to be true for many people around the world. My context is not parallel. My feet don’t have their original splayed-toe shape. My feet have not been conditioned by years of no arch support. I don’t have time to make it a full time job of my feet. So, I land somewhere in the middle. I consistently go for wide-toe-box based on need, but I am not a shoe arch ideologue of any variety.

Love your videos, in Australia Caterpillar boots are quite popular, it would be super interesting to see what you think of their casual range? Specifically the “Founder” and “Covert” which are a kind of crossover between work and casual.

its worth noting than ankle support has a serious trade off, the less your ankle can do its job and flex with the terrain the more that force will be applied to the knees. obviously there's times when you need that extra ankle support but its worth considering.

Great video! This is the old Rambler. I've worn a custom pair of these daily for work the past two years (shout out to Kyle at Baker's). I'm a chiropractor and a sports physician and I'll never wear another boot for my specific work related tasks. I am on my feet 10-12 hours a day treating patients. I treat patients on an adjusting table which has pedals that elevate sections of the table to allow for comfort and efficacy of the treatment. These boots allow me to press (step) on the pedals while the patient is laying on the table without discomfort and are the only boot I've been able to find that work this effectively. They are phenomenal, but make no mistake, this is a work boot, not for chilling at Starbucks or sitting in an office. They are substantial (heavy), the arch on this boot is legit and the Lineman's shank is incredible for protecting your arch and Plantar Fascia. Anyone involved in any type of work involving standing on firm surfaces, ladders, shovels, etc. should look no further than this boot. Great job, Weston!

After dating a podiatrist for some time, I realized the importance of wearing shoes that are balanced. If a shoe or boot is not the same height at the ball and the heel, then there will be imbalance. I wore Danner Fort Lewis 10 in. back in the service in the 80’s and 90’s. They had a relatively low arch and I put a ripple sole on them. I have a feeling that these boots, although aesthetically, pleasing and nice to look at, would destroy my feet. It’s nice to put an old pair of Chucks ya’ know? Great video

Got a pair of these and ended up returning them to Baker's because I had the same thoughts as you. The shelf created by those extra layers of leather was just too much. I absolutely love the aesthetics of the Cutter, but I would need them to leave out at least the lineman shank before I could imagine trying to break them in. I guess high arch is just not for me. Fantastically built and beautiful boot though.

Arch support is objectively not for everyone, some people enjoy moderate to high arch support - it feels good for them, but going from regular shoes and stereotypical boots to a high arch support boot is a huge shock for everyone because for years and years and years you have never walked in something like that before.

@@RyTrapp0 That's the thing with some of these boots too, not the whites in particular, but most of these boots don't come with insoles and your foot has to break in an oak tanned piece of leather that molds to your foot. That alone is a culture shock to most people, walking on essentially a hard piece of leather, walking on something that isn't squishy.

I'm a believer in the barefoot way but for longer runs I want some cushioning and I discovered Hoka shoes for this. In the wide last they are okay for my toes. I bought three models with different sole heights and different arch support. The Bondi 3 are too stiff for my liking and they also have too much arch support. It irritates me and even hurts my feet on long runs. It feels like my feet wants to tighten the muscles for the impact to hold the arch shape but then gets punched by the arch "support". Therefore I prefer the Clifton 8 for long runs. Rincon 3 works also great and has a smaller midsole.
