I imagine there will be a part two to this video. “Nine Dumbest Things About a Denim Collection”

Yes! Boot collecting is at the end of the day a hobby you do because you enjoy the craft and art. Some folks like to say they’re into boots for the “cost per wear”, “resolability”, “comfort” and because they “get better with age” and while theres an element of truth in each of these, most boot collectors have gone way past the point of diminishing returns and reasonable use.

I think anything that develops a passionate community will inevitably have people who are too passionate about it cause they're high off how special it makes them feel. Like, my bruh, it is a shoo, calme downe, dang.

#5 is my biggest gripe with boot snobs. Had a pair of PNW boots that felt awful, kept getting the feedback ‘just keep wearing them, they are hard to break in’, after a year of daily wearing at a manual labor job they still werent right, and left me with an unsightly callous that took years to get rid of. They werent cut for my feet, a cheaper boot that is shaped for you will be better in the long run.

I always thought traditionally made boots are superior in comfort, but a recent 3 day hiking trip in the appalachians in my White's made me realize sometimes they really are not. It kept my flat feet from hurting because of the good arch support, but they were so heavy compared to my friends' dedicated hikers, at the end of the trip I could barely walk lol

Thanks to your channel (and a few others), i went from owning one pair of Vans to owning 6 pairs of boots in the space of a year… I have since confronted my problem, and now i only own a pair of RW 1907’s and a pair of Viberg Scouts that were resoled with a wedge (they are fricking gorgeous and an absolute steal from ebay) Put my vans back on this week for the first time in a year and i had forgotten how comfy they are and how good they look- even with rips in the canvas.

I have six pairs of very nice boots ranging from Nicks to Red Wing and I have avoided most of the issues presented in this excellent video by not sharing my interest in quality footwear with anyone else. It's just not worth it to get people and their strongly-held but poorly-thought-through prejudices involved. They will just rain on your little parade until they've sucked all the pleasure out of your pastime. It's the same in any hobby, however: you could have replaced the word Boots in this video with Audio Equipment, Classic Cars, Sailboats, Wine Collecting, Pocket Knives, Bottle Caps, or any other collectible item imaginable, and the same arguments would erupt from the same sort of unpleasant people. People will spoil everything if given the opportunity. Thanks for the video! Well done!

Love this video! Great points! When I first got into boots, I definitely had some boot care anxiety. I agree it totally comes from mixed information and for me the jump in how much I spent. Previously, I basically wore vans and chucks. So when I spent over $300 on some danners I was nervous about getting the most out of every dollar. I still remember how nervous I was when I conditioned for the first time and they darkened up. Ive basically abandoned that haha. Still have that pair and they’ve got some stitching coming loose, not really waterproof now and I still wear the heck out of them! And now I basically brush when they’re really dirty and I know I’m not gonna use again for over a month and condition once a year or maybe twice a year. Having more boots in the rotation definitely helps with that too but I agree the number some people have at that point you probably won’t wear out any of your boots enough to need a re-sole!

Hah! Got me. I do brush after most wears, but it's just for the meditative pleasure of admiring the boot. Soothing. I have not, will not, try to trash somebody just because they like something different than I do, or because of some imperfection that it takes a magnifying glass to see. I appreciate your insights and your humor. Keep 'em coming!

I’m glad you made this video. I’m guilty of this and then realized how stupid I sounded to people who aren’t into this very specific hobby. I gave away a pair of boots to a non-boot guy and he wears them to work daily and has no idea what they cost new.

You forgot to mention sizing! I see so many comments on forums about people going crazy about sizing, returning boots, trying different sizes and never being satisfied. Would of made a sweet 10 for the video~

Just one more pair… then I’m done. Honest.

Great video! I loved it. I stay out of the drama, but enjoy the hell out of all of my boots. I don’t care want anyone says about what I enjoy.

You nailed it 100%. These are mainly the reasons why I'm going to NOT buy any more boots this year. I'm waiting on the Nicks x Parkhurst collab boot which should be here later this year, but other than that, oh, I have a pair of Goral x Rose Anvil coming too but other than that.......................... lol. This is a problem.

In my opinion this is one of your better videos. Finally the truth about boot comfort, care and the low down on wearing them. Keep doing what you do it's really entertaining and informative. What else can you ask for? Oh ya it's FREE! Thank-you.

Nick, I am guessing this is your Maya Copa video. You are somewhat of an enabler when it comes to shoes and boots. I did not know about really good boots till I watched your video's. You along with Trenton and Health and Rose Anvil have taught me to have a good understanding of boots and how they are made. I am guilty of having way more boots then I will ever need. I have an old pair of Red Wings bought years ago cause the only reason I got them was that they where made here. But, I have an obsession with Chukka's and Moc Toes. I own 4 pairs of Chukka's. Will never ever wear them out. Same as my Moc Toes. 6 pairs and counting. I even had to buy a new Moc toe from Thursday. Had to had the Cinnamon Snuff Oil Suede. My Thursday Presidents are 3 yrs old and still look like new. Waiting a pair Nick's Americana Boots that won't be here to Spring. This goes with my 3 pairs of White's and of course I am thinking about a pair JK boots as well. I am not blaming you guys. I have a lot of nice boots and shoes and the money is not wasted, like say on a girlfriend. Keep up the good work, enjoy your channel.

I’m already in too, Nick. Great video and excellent points. I love content like this where you also teach, or remind viewers about really what comes down to sound advice.

This was a hilarious video. There is definitely good shoe makers all of the world. My two favorite boots are from nicks and Redwing, but I’m trying to not become one of those 10+ pair of boots guys 😂. Also, I’m part of the brush everyday mafia and I’m proud of it lol. Definitely don’t over condition people!! Just keep em clean and wear your leather goods.

Got a pair of iron rangers this winter, and those are the only boots I have and will have for as long as they last. That is the true value of these high quality boots. Sneakers come and go, but having that one solid pair of boots is a must have. Great vid and channel.

You are spot on Nick... Love your videos buddy....I have way too many pairs of boots and way too many sneakers... By the way, just bought another pair of Alden Indy's after I bought the first pair that you sold me on.... I loved them so much I just bought another pair... My Aldens are my most comfortable boots.... GG

I really enjoy your commentary and outing the over zealous nit pickers. I am new to this extravagance but I love the fine Impeccable stitching on Vibergs, but I also love a pair of Westco Hendrik horse teacore boots, even if the QC is as you say “handmade “. They smell incredible and look even better. Thanks for your efforts.

Relatable, funny, & agree. One idea for sustainability would be if you focused on the aging and lifespan of the items rather than showing new stuff. Show how your items age over time and your care of them (which I know you do at times). Or show new stuff w/o buying/owning it.

So my new pair of boots came with some microscopic dust on the soles. Contacted the company and they are sending a replacement pair along with a check for 500 dollars. Guys…. I’m bummed, can’t believe this passed QC.

Got a 9 boot, 3 shoe rotation I wear almost every week. Different boot for day and evening or work and play. When it's raining, place shell cordovan aside in favor of CXL, etc. Since I'm a heavy footed 200 lbs, all have worn in fairly quickly. Almost all were bought as factory seconds or on sale, the exception being full-price Iron Ranger for $329. Rotation should last a decade easily.

On point! I am a work boot kind of person (construction) and limit myself to 15 pair of boots. I do have 2 pair of boots I consider dress. Tecovas Cowboy boot and White PNW. LOL I know the second one is crazy. The Whites being a go to town boot is stupid but the thought of working hard in them is not in me.

What boot is that at 0:58? It kinda reminds me of a Thursday Vanguard in Color #8 but with contrasting stitching, a storm welt, and no midsole.

Did you have a video on your pink boots shown in this video? What’s the make/model? Will you please create a video on different/exotic materials as well as crazy colors…green, blue, etc. Thank you!!!

You didn't have to personally attack me Lets see those boots making uppers in the DR because I’ve heard some rumors

I have 10 pairs and I feel like I’m at a good place. There is nothing else out there that I really want so now I’m just enjoying them all

Great video! Thank you for having a truly macro and micro perspective on this. It's a good reminder that things exist outside of boots.

Very good points! But now internet is flooded with great information about boots and shoes, we are all becoming boots snobs :D!

We can agree its at least not as bad as being a sneakerhead. Like imagine being excited by more plastic Chinese made athleisure garbage because of a limited edition celebrity colaboration or new colorway.

All 9 points are spot on. I've been guilty of most of these points with a collection of 10 boots. One thing I never subscribed to is the notion that boots are more comfy than sneakers. By the time your leather insoles are perfectly molded to your feet, the thin layer of cork has probably been compressed as well. How does that provide more shock absorption than a quality pair of sneakers? There's nothing wrong with being passionate about a hobby but let's take a step back and be honest with ourselves instead of taking it too seriously.

Awesome, and funny. Before I even watched, I was like, its absurd that I buy them faster than I can break them in. And then you called it. I’m not one for New Year’s resolutions, but i am committing to breaking in what I have. No more purchases!

I have this issue with Perfumes 300 and counting, not the cheap ones. I know I don't have enough time in my life to empty all the falcons ,but an obsession is an obsession. After all I see nothing wrong with it as it is hard to find good products with high quality and materials processed by a true artisan. NOTHING WRONG

Too late for me, Nick 😅. Especially numbers 1, 3 and 7. Gosh! If I only knew hahaha. I will Do everything in my digital power (which is close to zero) to prevent my wife from watching this video 😂😂😂. Great stuff Nick! I really enjoy watching your reviews, and I’ve learned a lot. Cheers mate!

This is relatable in the wrist watch community as well.

All good points. If a boot is quality? Well it doesn't matter where it's made. If you are a boot guy? Well you don't have to have a manual labor job to enjoy boots. And politics should NEVER have anything to do with boots. Politics are overly saturated in everything people do in life these days. That's a big issue I hate. And look, to be clear? I am super proud of the American made boots that we make in this country. It's so cool that we have bragging rights when it comes to how durable and robust of a boot that some American companies can produce in the USA. It's awesome and we should be proud of that. Doesn't mean that we should punish someone for buying a pair of Grant Stones though. As far as how you use your boots? I have a pair of Nick's Falcons in Tanned Waxed Flesh that I keep in near perfect condition. I also have a pair of Red Wing Blacksmiths that I wear every day to work (I am a site supervisor for a roofing company). My Nicks get worn on the weekends or out to nice bars/restaurants ect. Even though it's the toughest, most overbuilt boot I own? Even though it's waxed flesh (everybody says they have to be worn in and lose the wax to look right)? Well I paid a lot for those boots and like to keep them tip top. Where as my Blacksmiths are my dedicated work boot. I always hear "that's not a work boot", "they aren't certified manual labor boots", yada, yada, yada. Well my Red Wing Blacksmiths have outlasted all the all those so called "WORK BOOTS" on the job site. They are saturated with mink oil, they are a totally different color than Copper Rough and Tough was ever meant to be (They are so dark now that they look don't even resemble they leather they were when I got them). I don't need a certified toe, or sole, for the type of manual labor that I have to do onsite. Also the mini lug lasts a long time, doesn't trap mud, dirt, or rocks in the sole. So they are easy to clean. And guess what? Even though they are Heritage boots? They are still super durable, water resistant, and also extremely comfortable. They are lightweight/agile for a work boot and they look great too. My point is, wear your boots how YOU want to wear them. There are no specific rules aside from working a profession that has legal requirements for footwear. All this elitism about perfect stitching and such is total overkill too. It's a boot. Don't forget that. It's not a $2000 pair of Italian dress shoes. Thanks so much for all your videos. And also thanks for causing my boot addiction LMAO. ( I am up to 10 pairs at the moment)

Perfection and hand made do not go hand in hand! I’m sorry guys! I know they are expensive but that’s why they are what they are!! I do have to blame you Nick for the boot situation I am in though to be fair!!! I always say my collection is finally complete, then find just one more pair that I have to have!!! I’m currently at over 30 pairs and they simply do not see enough wear!!! Thanks anyway!!! Oh and my wife thanks you as well!!! LOL! Great work as always

You’d capture 95% of the touted reasons for owning a boot for 5% of what boot collectors spend by buying a “just tried on” grant stone or red wing from a nitpicky collector (who just didn’t like the clicking on the tongue) for a fraction of the price. And actually wear it to death as your one and done boot. 😂

Great video as always. My whites mp boots are my favourite because there not perfect! However I wear Vivo barefoot for comfort and long walks .

I believe that I've seen most of your videos and I do enjoy them a lot. Having stated that I find this video to be truly great and the best one you've made so far. Thank You!

Have you ever seen baseball card collectors arguing over a KSA 9.5 rated card? It will make you go right back to collecting boots really quick.

Love it, this is so me, in terms of boot obsession, too many pairs, never break any in, none patina, I only feel fulfilled when I have every brand, or the next unique leather type......... I keep buying selling buying selling...... I had 31 pairs of RMWs a year ago, now 9 pairs, but added more brands....... net is I have more boots now than a year ago! AND yes obsessive keyboard warriors can get very angry, rude and have completely misplaced ideologies....... I am the same with my raw denim, but mostly as I have put weight on and had to buy bigger sizes, can you see me reasoning as to why I need more! haha, anyway great video, all the way from Sydney Australia, where wearing boots in summer is an ordeal!

I’m in construction, in rural Pacific Northwest and I have a man bun while I do it and have since forever… hard to frame houses or pour concrete with my hair flying around In my face. Anyway, I know who you are boot gatekeepers and you need to relax.. also, I’m as proud to be American as anyone, however, not sure you’ve been paying attention lately, but our US government hasn’t been winning any morality awards.. lately as in the last 80+ years for a start. It’s a fine good thing to be proud of where your from but pretty f’n weak to think it makes you better than anyone else. However if you’re writing that vile garbage about other people you don’t know you can be certain you’re someone no one else truly wants to be around. Lighten tf up, life’s as good as you let it be. And for everyone who doesn’t work the trades I hope you enjoy wearing the same quality footwear as me. You’ve got my vote.

While indoctrinating myself with KZfaq's echo chamber, I've often considered many of the points you raised. Thank you for your honesty. Over the span of this video, your personality became significantly more relatable.

Nick, it’s time to order something for summer. Can you make a new video on good choices for summer? Loafers, sneakers (Crown Northampton etc) etc.

The end about nerds is real as hell

Help! I used Huberds Shoe Grease on my work boots and they turned a bit darker... now all my weirdo friends think I'm even weirder than they are because my boots are too dark. Should I just buy another pair?

Excellent honest thoughts!!! Please make more of these types of videos. Thank you.

I think some of these points are universal to to the human condition, you could speaking about music, travelling etc and make the same points. Thanks for being a boot nerd :)

I spit out my coffee watching this. In the quiet of the morning, I had to admit how many of these remarks I resembled. Too funny, and oh so true. Thanks for making my day!

Think I'm already in too deep 😂 But a lot of this definitely contributes to why I'm sometimes not sure about getting into social boot spaces and just lurk. A lot of it seems to come up in hobby spaces generally, but the mixture of collecting and things being openly displayed through wearing them seems to amplify it.

This is the most honest boot post I've seen. I think my wife couldve wrote the script for this video!

Casual boots get brushed after heavy use once or twice a month and conditioned maybe 2 times a year. Work boots get brushed every day and conditioned every other month or 2. Dress shoes/boots get a nice polish 1 or 2 times a year depending on the usage. I also keep multiple pairs in rotation because I never wear the same boots 2 days in a row, need to dry out and let the interior breathe in my opinion. Especially work boots. 👍

There is also an element of flexing involved online. Guys collect hundreds of super high end boots and have an entire instagram dedicated to boot pics, basically showing off and flexing how much they can spend on footwear. I think boots are awesome and it's fun to experiment and collect, but once you know what you like, it's a good idea to sell off the excess pairs and focus on a small collection of lifelong pairs.

I love this video. I feel like I was on the verge of becoming one of the people you are describing. Always good to get a dose of perspective.

I've "babied" a pair of boots to the point that I haven't worn them enough

Hey man, where's your henley from in this video? Looks like exactly what I'm searching for.

12 pairs of personal boots plus a yearly rotation of 2 pairs at work... I am not sure it is an addiction, but it is certainly more then a passive hobby!

Honest thoughts on using shoe trees…boot shoe trees worth the differences? Thanks

Amen to all of that! I’ve been a fan of yours for a while and watched your evolution from the beginning. I’m a little older than you and had the realization that “this boots will literally last the rest of my life” has finally impacted me and we I’ve stopped with my current lineup and enjoying them and having them properly break in. You’ve nailed the politics and cosplay tough guy underbelly, too. I appreciate your perspective and glad you are still making videos.

ON POINT. Guilty of each offense. 🤣

In my experience, for my life style yes, boots are comfortable than sneakers, IMO boots are better to be stand up all day, but not to walk, like been in the office, do paperwork, bank long lines, etc the stability for the arch and the ankles shine there, but if you have to walk a lot like a shopping day, a tourist day in another city, anything like that the softness and lightness of the sneakers it’s better, I’m all day stand up but not walking so boots are better for me I can make a 12 hour day between work and travel and in the night my feet’s are fresh and good and I can sleep 😴.

It might be to late for me. I have 3 pair of boots that I baby. (Especially the boxcalf pair) & one pair that I really beat on. But that's what waxed roughout leathers are for.

You really hit all the nails on the head here. It’s pretty much impossible to find any boot reviewer who has stayed down to earth and honest like this.

I only have one pair of Alden boots, but I have eight pairs of loafers/lace leather shoes to make up for the missing boots. 😂 all the points are hit here

lol I got a kick out of this. I will say the r/goodyearwelt subreddit sucks. The mods force everything into "daily threads" and it just suppresses conversation and pictures of great boots. I recently joined the stitchdown discord server and it's exceptional.

I'm a boot nerd and i try to justify the cost with the longevity. but in reality the cheap boots i used to wear would last about a year to 2 years. but at their cost i could wear through 4-5 pairs before i recoup the cost of a PNW brand boot. so that would mean the PNW boots had to last at least 5-8 years before a resole to make the cost equivalent. so i'm just going to be honest and say i love boots and buy them for the look. i have boots i wear a few times a year and some that i wear once a week, and some that are still in the boxes they shipped in. i'm not buying quality boots because they last longer, I'm buying boots cause i got a fetish for boots.

Didnt mention the bsrgsins, I am quite disciplined, until I see a pair of hand made boots that no one wants for half price. I was going to wait till my birthday to get the red wing muc toe, then I saw it with £100 of the RRP in a known and respected retailers site. Sometimes I make a cheeky bid on ebay, like £100 pound for an Iron ranger that was too big for the owner and he never wore and won!!!

OH MY GOD. This video reminded me of this time I saw someone on Le Reddit argue/complain that if they were to buy a pair of 1000 miles for like 350-400 USD, it better be perfect. Like, come on, curb expectations.

@stridewise I’m looking at Unmarked Riot boot .. how wide is the last .. and build quality.. I’m looking to get those or a pair of Monkey boots

I tried wearing sneakers for one day ... all the back pain that was gone from wearing real boots and shoes came back and returned in just one day! 😩😭

You get a pass for excessive boots BECAUSE you need them to reference to compare to new/different boots. I have 8 pairs which is I feel is too many. I think 5 max is good and I live in Canada where extra boots are needed.

Just sold a pair of Iron Rangers, Blundstones and Thursdays, feeling lighter !

Darn it great collection, I thought I'm over it, not ready for a new obsession, therapy needed!

That's why I only own 3 pairs of shoes, Nick's 95% of the time, Allen Edmonds for church or meeting the bosses and Double H cowboy boots for muddy livestock duty at home. Granted my 3 pair cost more than the 18 pairs my wife owns.

I am already addicted but I am just getting started. I only have a few pairs but my collection will grow.

I agree. I buy mine to beat the crap out of them no matter if it’s work or play. Have fun with them.

Do you have a video on those pink boots?

10 years into my boot addiction i sold the vast majority. now i just have light brown, brown and black in casual and dressy, one winter boot and one work boot that i beat up. 8 boots total.

Jake at @almostvintagestyle is notorious for this kind of pickiness and at a certain point when your whole point about a boot comes down to stitch density and stitch lines and perfect finishing you’ve forgotten why people got into the hobby. To your point, Nick, the whole idea is that someone worked hard to make what you’re wearing. If you want laser accurate lines and stitches then 3D print some boots

Hahaha, I laughed all the way to the end of this video. Because it's way too late for me. Much, much too late. All your points are certainly valid in my case.

Absolutely LOVE this video, thank you for bringing up all these points. The extreme views of some of the people out there, be it as nationalists or gatekeepers is extreme. I admit I have to try not to develop any of these habits, take more time between buying boots, not babying them too much like I was at first, and just enjoying the boots I have. I did return a pair of boots once, as there was a stitch loose enough I could fit a pen through it, I asked first if I could cut it and burn the ends, or what I could do on my end and they simply told me to return them, but people I spoke to made me afraid if I left it as, the stitch would catch something, break and the "whole boot unravel" which seemed unlikely but I didn't know better and just wanted to fix that one stitch. Anyway everything here was great advice.

Oh sweet Christ the last part drives me insane. I remember scrolling through a certain PNW maker’s subreddit and the complaints I saw made me do a double take. I remember one person was complaining that the welt stitches weren't perfectly aligned 🤦‍♂️. I understand that your spending a lot of money. But these are still handmade products and humans aren't perfect. If you want factory perfect footwear. Go back to buying sneakers. P.s. My definition of handmade boots is the boots must be lasted by hand. And that seems to be the industry standard.

I live and work in an alpine desert and I'm always cautious with conditioning as conditioner tends to collect dust.

Occasionally I wonder why your channel isn't bigger. Especially for someone who's been at this for a good while and put out a lot of content. And I think it's not because you're not "good" or deserving to be bigger, I think it's actually quite the opposite. You might be too on the money, too good and niche with your videos to have a really broad appeal. On the one hand, I'd like you to grow and get something tangible for what you put out, some quantifiable metric of how much what you do is appreciated out here. But a casual sub is counted just as much as a super hard, devoted sub, they are both +1. On the other hand, I wouldn't want you to make changes that would lead to better growth if that means diluting what you do. So, here we are. Maybe that's you and you're not gonna hit the millions of subs. Not sure how you would feel about that. In any case I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the hell out of your tenacity and commitment to this topic, it was an invaluable resource when first getting into boots and it's still the best all these years down the road. I haven't really found anyone to compete, not even the channels that broadly cover the same topics, same kinds of products. And I'm sure there are tons more that feel the same.

Smart, funny vid. “Boot Nerds”😁 I’m also annoyed by the, you have to be blue-collar to wear boots idiots.🙄 I feel a kinship to anyone that appreciates quality footwear, regardless of what they do for a living.👍🏼

I really disagree about sneakers being more comfortable. Like, I actually do. Have owned plenty of both to have an opinion, and the squish of sneakers wears on you quickly. It's like sleeping on a soft mattress. You may like it at first, but it's hard on the body. I think it's partly individual needs though. Not even just preference but the way an individual walks, foot shape, etc.

I used to be a tool snob. Used a Hitachi roofing gun and complained about until it worked flawlessly. I looked like an idiot growsing about quality tool that did the job I needed but didn't have the right paint. Lots of stuff is good. Some is great. The only way to know is to use it. No one likes not getting what they pay for. But some people love to just pay a lot more for something that does the job. Life tends to go smoother when you just calm down.

I don't think there's a type of footwear as controversial as boots. I remember in early 2000's there was a discussion whether guys who wear boots look "gay"; and if one chooses to wear boots (to boost their so called "masculinity"), they should be careful not too pick boots with higher shafts, again avoid looking "gay". And then there's this notion that boots, like other pieces of clothings, are "seasonal" and should be suitable for autumn/winter outfits rather than summer/hot weather outfits. And if one insists on wearing boots on a hot sweltering day they are advised to reach for a pair of desert boots as they are meant for such purpose. Heaven forbid that a person wears a pair of tall logger boots in forest-fire burning California unless they would like to feel "uncomfortable". Uncomfortable to the point of what? Their feet overheated that they couldn't walk anymore?! I am overdramatised and overreacting here but for someone who lives in a tropical country where flip-flops and sandals are the go-to footwear, pieces of advice like these did my head in to a degree that I would always hesitate if I should put on a pair of boots.

What are those boots with the green laces??

I don't wear boots for comfort. I wear flip-flops when I can and when I can't, it is boots. If I could, I'd go barefoot all of the time, lol.

I got in too deep and pulled it way back. You're pretty much 100% correct on all points here.

I just love wearing my Clarks Desert boot after a week of PNWs. Orrrrr Bean Boots! There. I said it. Whew. #bootconfessions

Oh sweet Christ the last part drives me insane. I remember scrolling through a certain PNW maker’s subreddit and the complaints I saw made me do a double take. I remember on person was complaining that the welt stitches weren't perfectly aligned 🤦‍♂️. I understand that your spending a lot of money. But these are still handmade products and humans aren't perfect. If you want factory perfect footwear. Go back to buying sneakers.

I absolutely despise sneakers after wearing traditionally built heritage style boots lol. Poron and other foams feel like a war crime under my feet

AHHHH we need BA (Alcoholics Anonymous but for Boots BA ) I own 25 pairs and I can't stop PNW I own every PNW 3-5 PAIRS AHHHHHHH My wife is going to divorce me of my additions

….i was meeting some stranger in a mall parking lot the other day for a brand new pair of red wings….yes, I could have been killed and no one would have know, but what am I gona do….NOT buy quality American footwear, almost brand new, for a significant mark down!?!

Do you have a boot review of Unmarked boots? 😊
