Here’s the truth about buying boots - most of us are buying boots we don’t need. Buy the boots you need, not the cool boots I show off on my channel!

Hang on a sec..... I discovered, visited and bought my first pair of Parkhurst because of you. 🤣

I have several pairs of Red Wings, and decided it’s enough boot for me. Iron Ranger, Blacksmith and Beckman. Plus I’m only 10 minutes from a Red Wing store.

That smell of leather is addictive.

I've only used the 1907 Red Wings for 25 years now and I'll be buried in them. Love the Eagle in the background. I looked at it more than the boots 😂

A pair of custom Whites bounty hunters for my everyday boots, JK O.T for work, alden suede loafers for casual wear and a good pair of Chelsea leather boots for dressier occasions. I think that’s more than I’ll ever really need. Atleast it’s what I tell myself 😂

Alden Indy’s. Had mine for 15 years. Getting to the point they need some love. Will buy another pair again, probably in another 15 years.

I think this perspective on boots and clothes should be expressed way more often. Been enjoying listening to any video ive watched. I just got my first iron rangers and thinking about getting some rw moc toes. These boots will just be worn for enjoyment and colder season months. I really respect you just review boots and not try to sell me boots. Id like to see a vid of your top 10 favorite boots to wear or own.

I switched to Flourshime workbooks. My redwing soles turned to jello after just a few years, no chemicals

A couple of years ago I bought a hardly used Viberg service boots on ebay for £200. The boots came with the original dust bag, spare laces and wax. I think they retailed at £860 at the time, now costing £1050 retail on the Viberg website, crazy prices. Anyway , they are the only boots I want to have as I use them daily and like to see them age over time. Probably my best ever purchase .

Well said Teik! You are spot on! Thursdays are likely all most normal people will ever need. I think the 350 - 500 range (Truman, Parkhurst, Red Wing and Grant Stone) is the perfect stopping point for getting a lifelong, amazing boot.

I do love my Nicks boots and my other higher end ones, but don’t find myself wearing them that often.

If I’m being honest with myself, I actually grab my Thursday Captains and Black Iron Rangers the most!
