Better than Blundstones? | Solovair Dealer Boots
I've been looking for a quick and easy pair of boots for a while, and instead of getting Blundstones I wound up getting a pair of Solovairs. In today's video, I'll tell you why I did that.

    Great vid. I was wondering how these fit? I’m a 9.5 in Jordans and 9 in New Balances (990 series). I have a pair of Adrians in a size 8 and I feel like my toes are scrunched up in front (even after wearing them occasionally on and off for a year) and a size 9 had too much space in the heel. These seem like a good replacement lol any help is appareciated! Peace

    I would say that that particular pair of Wrangler 126 MJ model is more than 40 years old; perhaps closer to 50 as it is definitely an edition from the 1970's.

    @Drownedinblood 6 місяців тому

    Your average cobbler cant repair your solovair soles. You have to find someone with a dedicated heat sealing machine to actually attach the sole to your shoe. They can only put on a substitute. Not to mention the cost of repairs for a boot nowadays might be 75% the cost of the boot depending on how much you spent. Its $120 now for soles alone, unless you go to a more basic cobbler.

    I have a vintage Wrangler jacket I bought in 2009 that was likely produced in the late 70's. I bought it because somebody had embellished it with some bad-ass patches. And I'm so glad that I've kept it through the years long enough to experience this revival in Wrangler. I also recently bought a pair of Wrangler Collaboration Jeans and, also, a black jacket from their Icon series which is a reissue of their classic archive. All have been outstanding and I'm afraid to go overboard...because right now, there are some pretty good sales going on...

    • @Lunatic4Bizcas
      @Lunatic4Bizcas 2 місяці тому

      Good Lord can I relate. I also really started getting heavily into purchasing Wrangler almost exclusively since around 2009 and it's just a passion that has never left me. My favorite brand by far.

  • @HolloVVpoint

    Break ins are just stupid, my Yeezy 700s been the most comfortable sneakers I’ve ever worn, and they still good as the day I got them 4 years ago, despite putting tens of thousands of KMs in them including a couple of Disney land trips. I prefer solovair over dr martens, but just wish these companies would improve their technology and actually make their shoes comfortable.

    • @Drownedinblood
      @Drownedinblood 6 місяців тому

      It's not technology it's the design. Your yeezys aren't full leather there's a lot of fabric in high bend areas. Leather boots like this don't do that so you gotta wear/break them in, getting the leather used to certain stress points.
