Preparing for the holidays getting some stocking stuffers together and i thought id take yall along for the ride! enough with the "cheap" knife videos that have blades that are "only" 20-30$. Every one of these blades are 7$ or less with free shipping. be warned, these are gas station grade and no replacement for mid tier or high end cutlery. but for 7$ you cant complain on some of them. enjoy!...

The Shureway next to it are better. I’m living in my Shureways right now.
Thanks! Just got these. Starting engineering co ops and needed a cheaper composite toe, just something to have when I need them. One day I'll get some redwings
How do you choose the width when ordering
As far as I know they don't offer wide sizes in these.
I HAD THIS IDEA A WHILE BACK... YOU CAN GET SOME DAMN NICE HIGH BACK BOAT SEATS FOR A PONTOON OR FANCY FISHING BOAT FOR LIKE 75-125 AND THEYRE WATERPROOF!!
Do they make your feet sweat with that liner?
Not any worse than the unlined version. There no padding or insulation, just like cloth attached to the leather
I used the leather lube on my new wolverines, darkened them considerably, I always used work shoes prior but wanted to start using boots, how do you polish them?
I just take a fine bristle brush and buff them after lubing up. Not actually polishing
Are they true to size?
Close enough for me, your milage may vary
Very good information thanks buddy!

Any update on the boots on vibram sole and the rock rooster sole
I'm not a fan of the rock rooster sole. They have discontinued the vibram soles. Kind of squashed my video idea along with the fact that I just had a kid. I've been meaning to make an update
I have sureway 6 months my feet hurt , rather have danner crap
I agree if you see my latest update with the sureways
@@handy_man9157 I’ll check it out
These past video you could have bought new redwings 80+100+ 150 I think you said . RW moc is 280 in my area
Yeah I could have, but wanted to try my luck with other options.
Sure way have surprised the shit out of me. Love them so far
I went ahead and purchased this boot as a replacement for some RW shoes that disintegrated on the soles. I liked those shoes, they were light, steel toed, and still looked good after 7 or 8 years, but the blow molded soles seem to have a shelf life and when they fail it's not good around mesquite thorns. The full cost of the RR SAP621 was $128.88, the price had gone up, $109.54 with the veteran discount through govx link. I don't wear a wide shoe, so we'll see if they are true to size for my foot. Follow up: I wasn't expecting these this fast but they showed up today and they fit true to size, wiggle room in the toes, good support around the ankles and comfortable to walk in. Almost makes me want to come out of retirement. Almost. Update: I've been working on the two properties wearing these SAP621. I've noticed the speed hooks rotating and the tongue leather thickness on one is thinner than the other, but other than that, they are holding up fine. I've done fence work, lawn work, vehicle maintenance, and six hours of driving to the other property and back to mow and trim. No regrets on this purchase and no problems with comfort.
Came across your channel because I'm searching out boots that can be repaired vs throwaways. We had a hurricane come through a month ago and it did a number on trees in the area. While I was cutting up a tree for a few hours, the Carhardts, which I hadn't worn but maybe 10 times in the past 10 years, decided to do a sole disappearing act on me in the middle of the task. They couldn't be repaired due to the design according to the local cobbler. What a waste of a good upper and they were fairly comfortable with the soles intact. Lesson learned, welt construction only from here on out. Retirement doesn't give reimbursement on work shoes/boots and stomping on a shovel barefoot ain't an option. Your channel is helpful, I've considered the SAP621 and will probably get a pair to stick in my truck at least for emergencies.
I want it
That's smart
Thanks
Any update on the replacement insoles
Not a video yet. They are comfortable, but I definitely prefer the original puffy ones that came with the boot.
@@handy_man9157you should the welnove work insoles or the Airplus work insoles
@@handy_man9157I saw in Amazon sells the same insole with the only difference they don’t have a stitch it the same one but that the only difference is

The Sureways are legit! Super comfy 💯
Your review led me to spend a few bucks and get a brand I’m comfortable with. $100 for a pair of boots is cheap in comparison, but for us big boys who can’t get more than a few months out of a pair no matter what brand or price, always looking for a cheap - easy to break in- comfortable and light boot that are at least somewhat waterproof and can get me through a few good months of hard wear. Glad I didn’t waste time and money on these.
Glad to be of service
Yea put them dirty ass boots right on the kitchen scale! Yum. Bet your wife would kick your butt for that!😮
Thanks for sharing. May I have your email please? thank you very much!
You can DM me @handy_man9157
@@handy_man9157 Okay,thanks so much!
Hi great review on these, did you order true to size or did you have to go smaller or bigger with these boots. Just wondering because I have bad luck ordering online without trying them on first. Thanks in advance.
I normally wear a 10.5 wide in wolverine & Ariat. I ordered the 11 since they don't offer a wide and they fit me perfectly.
Redneck Restoration 😅
Some people complain about the leather being thin? But seem alright by you?
To me the leather is stiffer than the rockrooster 621 , also this is a lined boot so hard to tell exactly how thick it is.
Thats a horrible lasting job on that boot.
They fit my feet well, works for me
@handy_man9157 no, I'm saying when they stretched the leather over the last to glue it they did a bad job. You can see on the toe box on the bottom where it was folded over and not stretched enough over to make it smooth. Honestly, you should just pull the trigger on some White's Perry moc toes. They went on sale not that long ago for 270, they usually are 320. But the quality of leather and construction is a couple steps above a redwing moc toe.
I'll add it to the short list. I may be able to make a larger purchase toward the end of the year. Was also looking at JK boots and Nicks. Not sure if I want to go with a wedge sole moc toe if I spend that kind of money though. Debating a more typical PNW boot style. I'm no expert on boot making so probably why I missed the lasting issue. Still learning
@@handy_man9157 nicks. 100% nicks. JK has poor customer service and quality issues.
@@handy_man9157 You can always get a cobbler to put a sierra vibram outsole on a wedge outsole...
I just ordered mines from amazon actually they have a discount for $79, i work in scaffolding hope they worked, thanks for ur review
They are definitely better than anything you can buy at Walmart. Just a little heavy. Hope they work out for you
I have one of those, I like them but ya I agree with the complaints.
I tried golden fox as well and I will never buy them again. I got them on sale for $50 and I didn't like them at all. For mine the sole didn't even last a month.
So you didn't get socks with them? So far every rockrooster I ordered came with a pair of socks. So guess they stopped doing that ?
No socks with these or the 2 pairs I got last year. They did come with extra laces and stickers
Someone likes you at Rockrooster.
@@riverpower9402 They are on my favorite brand list which is actually kind of long. I think however I prefer the new die hard boots over rockrooster though and I mean the new ones that a company called Hoss boots are making now as the old die hard boots were almost the same as rockroster when it comes to feel.
It is better and last longer
Time will tell, I like them so far
That is the one that looks like Die hard boots. The only difference is the sole.
Is die hard a different brand or different model from rockrooster?
If you do get them resoled send them to Trend and heath. They are the cheapest that I could find and they have a youtube channel. Also I have both the stitched insole and none stitched insole from rock rooster and they feel almost the same in the boots I have used them in. I mean there is some difference but they are still the best insoles on the market.
I've seen a couple of T&H vids, seem like good guys I'll keep them in mind. Wearing the new insoles since Monday, I've noticed they aren't as pillowy (is that a word?) as the stich sided ones, but they are still comfy. Time will tell
@@handy_man9157 Keep us posted. So far I have enjoyed your channel.
@@handy_man9157 Also apologies about the mis spelling. I am dyslexic and do not even notice the mis spelling until it is pointed out. Although you didn't point it out.
I could read it just fine
@@handy_man9157 awesome
Just ordered these! I use to always wear the diehard but there almost impossible to find now in steel toe and over 200$, I hope I like these I’m wondering if I should of got the vibrum model
I cover the vibram ones in another video. Have been wearing them for 4 months. Will do a comparison after I have worn the SAPs for a month or two
10 year up-date will work..!!
Might be a stretch on that one
Have a look at Redwing's???
@@phildunne2632 I have tried a few of their offerings in the past. Still walked the soles over in a year or so. This was me experimenting with finding the best dirt cheap boots
Meet in the middle, lets have a ☝️date every 3 weeks, it seems unorthodox, but considering the likely wear and use pattern for full time work is the most obvious for displaying differences. Thanks for your input and reviews for us boot wearers.
Junk
Why don't you like them? I have been very happy with my vibram sole roosters so far
Change out the insoles
I banished these to under the desk at work as a back up pair. They are working well for that purpose
Rockrooster is pretty good. As comfortable as good running shoes. I gave the Norwood a shot based upon Rose Anvil's review.
I have been wearing and making content on the rockroosters exclusively now. I have several vids on them, including the newly re-released original Rockrooster
The issue with Chinese products is that they have a stigma of being terrible quality and stuff, but if you look, you will find some great Chinese made products (just like anywhere in the world quality is a sliding scale) look into Luos Jiet or maybe Grant Stone if you want date night boots. If you want the highest end Chinese boots XBXSboots, however, these are more European stylings.
I bought a soft toe version and it is a good winter boot. Kept my feet dry in slushy water in MN.
I didn't wear it long enough to try the water resistance. Good to hear
Whatever you do don’t try Thorogood boots. They’ll make you throw your other boots in the trash…😂😂😂
Actually I got a boot allowance at work and was planning on trying those vs the rockrooster
@@handy_man9157 once they brake in they are like leather slippers
How about now?
Final update here ua-cam.com/video/jtkjUL2wRP4/v-deo.html
They look nice 🫡… however I’ll stick with redwing 😬. Good video tho 👍🏻
Appreciate ya
What is the matter with not having hook eyelets? They slow you way down when you ty your shoes.
Nothing wrong with it, just personal preference and my opinion
Awesome, I used neatsfoot oil from that brand and it worked great; will tey using the mink oil
I love your reviews and I love people making content and sharing their time. I really appreciate that your time is so valuable and no matter who’s on here doing content I just appreciate it so thank you.
Is it Cold Press Mink Oil?
It Dosent specify on the can that I have
