Yellow lace looks nice

That looks amazing. It reminds me of a pair of Chucks. Looking forward to the full review. Might have to get a pair myself

I like both laces. Different purposes of casual vs a little more done up. You had so much drama in them fitting. That fudunk when you slid your foot in. Didn’t even have to say anything. Boots fans know that sound

Thank you for bringing attention to more affordable options. Looking forward to the indepth review. First impressions are good though laces to the toe could make your feet look longer.

They make amazing stuff and i own two pairs of boots. The only issue is with those rubber soles, they wear out realy quick.

if these are good then they seem to be a pretty good value. looking forward to the longer term reviews :)

Bro, why do u do for living? Are u a fund manager? U have been in a search for deep value hahaha.

I have 2 pairs of Iron Rangers and love them both. IMO my olive Helm boots look way better than these.

Shoes were traditionally welted to a midsole, then an outsole was attached. Wear out the outsole, then a cobbler attaches a new outsole. Easier job. If an outsole is directly attached to the welt , you could wear it out and wear damage to the welt. More work. A cobbler will have to replace the damaged welt. For the person wearing the shoe, a repair is more expensive.

Something doesn’t seem right about them😮

Bro.. did they use a cut section of welt? You saw that, right? Something’s going on with Red Wing man, should’ve seen the pair they sent me 😅

Clarks are great when Amazon marks them down. I got a pair for $25. And they are functional. You don't cry when you step in poop.

Photos from the attempted assassination of President Trump clearly shows The Secret Service Agent's studded sole. I like the original Dainite, and the Vibram version.

The sizing guide surely helps! Saw a post on instagram on their tan refresh service boots and they don’t fair well in rain (stain, water leaks into the boot). And the service boots are extremely flexible that you can fold them in half. Are your Indy boots more water resistant and less flexible? Is the grip better on the Indy?

Those green ones are a great value, they just need to break in

Just to clarify. The luisjiet Indiana Jones boots are a E width while the luisjiet Service boots are a D width

The Indy's were likely too large because of the EE width compared to the D width of the service boots?

Stepping stone for some. For others, this is it. Period. I am not spending more. As if a working person is going to spend more for boots that go into trenches, or stand in sludge.

These boots are hard, heavy, and hurt your feet.

I've never needed a pair of green boots. Is that for a Leprechaun costume?

Leather for casual/formal city wear and rugged lugs for outdoor activities and rain/snow weather.

I ordered a pair when released. It was the worst QC boot I had even received from Red Wing. Toe caps were way off with one being around a 1/4 inch or more longer than the other. Back of the boots were not close to uniform either. Definitely a 2nds quality boot and Lisa inspected them.....lol Shame as i have the moc toe in this leather and like it. I just donated them instead of returning as I am downsizing my collection anyway.

Jim Green claims to pay 100% of the shoe factory wage for South Africa. We don't know the hard numbers. What's the factory wage for shoe making, compared to the poverty line? Is the factory wage enough to live on? What are the working conditions? I'm not saying anything, other than we have no context.

i tried on some ir's at a local rw store. felt like $200 boots and that's generous. so many other options.

Personally, I've found that when dealing with relatively heavy shoes/boots, which most GYW/stitchdown footwear are, lacking a midsole isn't a big deal for the first 10,000 steps of the day, but pretty soon after that you start wishing you had a bit more shock absorption underfoot.

Clarks dessert boot are very uncomfortable shoes , cannot use for walking no support at all.

It's not snobby to want leather footbeds. it's just that some of us are less comfortable with synthetic footbeds/insoles, and the leather alternative is much more comfortable for us.

Thank you u so much u saved me fron a bad purchase

Both are crap

Hi would you say despite price , is the Louis jet on same level as thursdays boot ? Thursdays are a first time boot for someone but I don't like the feel of there leather and the built . So which is better overall to you LJ or thursday

So you're a 13 US sneaker? Ideally a 12.5 sneaker.

Good looking boot ….👍🏼

If I had those vibergs on , I can see a guy ask me , are those thursdays boots , they are nice looking I have the president and captians , then I say nooo these are viberg ... but I will be so upset for one to think thursdays

Nice comparison will be grant stone and parkhurst

What a joke , Grant Stone has a great relationship with horween that's why 90% of there leather comes from them. Most likely you don't own a pair of gs , plus truman is a awesome brand , so those who have viberg will always defend there boot since they were willing g to dish out the crazy amount for a boot. Viberg is no slouch but way better than gs ? Nooo

Grant stone diesel looks way better on your feet , the viberg looks long topedo Unattractive

Good idea to measure the insole and outside width. Boot and shoe makers should also do this. It seems to me that it's an additional way to provide meaningful info to buyers.

Excellent video! I think sizing is what helps the most in videos like this.

All of the deerskin leathers called "refresh" are kind of like that with the extreme scuffing. Everyone who's had something in them for a while mentions it. I think it's supposed to be a patina monster-type leather. Personally I don't really get the logic of putting that kind of leather on an Indiana Jones moctoe boot which tends toward a more dressy or smart casual look, but it is what it is. Chinese boots and quality leather shoes in general tend to be wide in the waist and heel compared to American makers, at least in larger sizes. If you have larger feet, it can be tough to get a fit that locks in the heel without pressing uncomfortably against the instep and the toes.

do you have any experience with Doc Martens? If yes, could you tell me how does it compare to Luosjiet indiana boot?

Full size down from Brannock, then use their conversion chart

I am same side brannock as you. 13D and full size done IRs. Thank you!

New subscriber here! Great and practical reviews!!! I appreciate you taking time to answer some of your viewers questions. Hope you get more subs and continue with this content!

Concerning the break in, I am stuck between two sizes. Leaning towards half a size down, but it really doesnt allow my toes to splay (which i prefer) will the leatger break in enough to allow more wiggle room in the width?

Viberg boots r good but price is getting out of controlled. So is whites boots. In general pre Covid quality was better.

Having a proper leather midsole provides a little bit more support and shock absorption. But it makes a shoe/boot clunkier and a little bit harder to break in. It's the latter point that I bet is key behind Red Wing's decision not to include one with their Iron Ranger and Blacksmith.

I've got a Luos Jiet/XBXS boondocker and a suede moc toe derby on the more formal side. My wife has their brown deerskin "8111" -- can't get her size in genuine Red Wings. I've put a lot of wear on my two pairs. They've got genuine veg-tan insoles and midsoles. Upper leather is nice enough, albeit on the thin side compared to boots from other brands. The stitching and finishing are very neat compared to American and Canadian makers. As for negatives, XBXS shoes are always pretty tough to break in. That's probably because they're pretty heavy for what they are. They also pretty much all develop a squeak, either immediately or not too long after you start wearing them. And they use EVA as a filler in the cavity beneath the insole instead of cork. All in all, I think they're a pretty good brand if you can buy them on Taobao. Most of their shoes and boots are less than 200 USD and their seconds are often around 100 USD, and they're a very good value at that price. They absolutely knock brands like Thursday and Meermin out of the park.

Keep those boots because, they're boots not a watch or a car. As long as they don't have any popped stitching or deep scratches or broken glue. Those small human not imperfections are just that. That doesn't make for bad quality it's just human touch and ass for the leather, leather is skin just as your skin is different in places it's almost impossible to have the exact same grain on each unless they use an entire side to create one pair of boots. And, even then it won't be exactly the same. I totally get wanting quality and I think those are. I could understand being annoyed if they cost $1000 or $1500 or even the $400 that you paid if the things you pointed out were really bad but they're not. They're just human touch elements. If they were custom boots ok I'd be annoyed but, the are mass hand made produced boots. They're just as quality as your other Red Wings. Great review and hope you enjoy those great looking boots.

That’s disappointing to hear. This pair was definitely the worst I’ve ever had from them. But now you got me on Zerrows boots. They look amazing.

shame they don't make a EEE
