I have the a chocolate cap-toe roughout from Cordobes and there is a reason Carl keeps coming back to how easy they are to wear: they are the most comfortable boot out of the box that I have ever worn. They fit like a glove and comfortable. That alone is worth the price of admission.

I still LOL at the dude who thought veg tanned leather = vegan leather. I also think a lot of those comments don't understand the patina you'll get with natural leather. I've had a few natural leather items and watching them age over time is pretty sweet.

Great job for dispelling the myth about Engineer boots being for firestarters. I only learnt that this wasn't the case a few months ago and that they were actually for people in engineering. Also, I love the fact that you're a fellow hoffman boot fan. They really are the best kept secret of PNW boot makers. I love my 16 composite toe all leather powerline. If you could do a video on hoffman's I think that'd be a great idea. Much love.

Those boots look decent, Carl. But that flat outsole (lack of an arch) and the color reminds me of UGGS. As to the bulkiness of the buckle that you mentioned, nothing a few minutes, and a steady hand, on a bench grinder couldn't take care of. Thanks for this video, Carl!!

Thanks for the review. They look like a great buy. I was hoping you'd compare them against, or at least mention your Nicks collaboration as you had mentioned those were one of your keepers in a previous video. Nonetheless this looks to be a target for those wanting to step up from Milwaukee or Chippewa.

Quite a bit of what I said about the Mister Lou can be applied to the Nicks collab. They're very similar, although the Nicks has more room in the toe box.

I like the way they look from an objective standpoint , but they're just not for me I have skinny calves and ankles, so pull on boots just don't work for me. My preference is an 8" lace up tied quite snug. I definitely envy people who can wear a nice pair of cool engineer boots, but thankfully there are so many very cool lace up boots out there to keep me from feeling too bad.

I also looked at the ones from Schott. Like franky3fingers337 pointed out, they're made by Chippewa who make decent boots. They don't have the same quality as they did 25 years ago but they're an ok boot...if someone wants to use them as a motorcycle boot they should be just fine, but they probably won't hold up as a work boot.

id read chippewa closed all their usa factories. perhaps they use their designs? my guess is they are made by cove shoe company, i thought they were contractors used by Frye, Mark Albert, Carolina, Double H. Martinsburg, PA. the price is very good and the waxed leathers may be from seidel.

@jensrb503 ай бұрын
The edges on the heel look like that because they probably used cheaper veg tanned leather and some use the soft belly leather in their heel stacks to make it more comfortable . You can solve that problem by sanding it smooth and then "soak" it with a acrylic sealant like Angelus . Put on a few coats and it will stay nice even after the rain .
