How to remove burrs from clothing
Переглядів 108 тис.3 роки тому
Learned a way to remove burrs from clothing that is way easier and more effective than picking them off one by one. All you need is a plastic fine tooth comb like the one I’m using in the video. You can probably find one at just about any grocery or drug store for only a couple bucks. Hope this technique helps you salvage some clothes! It definitely has for me.

How to prevent cold feet
Переглядів 11 тис.4 роки тому
Keeping your feet warm in the winter months is about more than just wearing the most insulated boots and the heaviest socks. In fact, sometimes wearing too much insulation on your feet can actually work against you in the fight to stay warm.

Superfeet Insoles Overview
Переглядів 16 тис.4 роки тому
Getting a legit orthotic grade insole along the lines of Superfeet is probably the easiest and best upgrade you can make to any pair of shoes that you plan to spend lots of time in. I personally have a pair in just about every work boot, hiking boot, and running shoe that I own. Years of soccer, snowboarding, and retail work (on your feet all day) have taken a toll on my feet and my joints, but...
Salomon Quest 4D 3 GTX Review
Переглядів 2,8 тис.4 роки тому
This boot has to be one of my favorite all time hiking/backpacking boots. Yes, it’s true nobody actually *needs* a backpacking boot for most hiking and backpacking, but I love the versatility this boot offers. Hiking on the sharp uneven rocks that litter our trails here in PA, this boot is a dream. It’s lighter than any other backpacking boot I can think of that offers this level of support and...

How to Properly Fit Hiking Boots
Переглядів 208 тис.4 роки тому
One of the biggest issues we find with hiking boots is the fit. There are plenty of reputable brands out there and honestly they are all good for different reasons, but nothing trumps fit. Often times you might be a different size from one brand or model to another, and you'll almost always be a different size when going from a sneaker to a hiking boot or shoe. In this video we go into a few th...

I can't believe I need this information but here I am ❤❤❤
This was VERY helpful...I had a feeling the shoes I got may have been too small but I wasn't sure until seeing this. The guy at the shop didn't seem to care or help much at all lol
Nice video. Oh, I think Oboze puts a great insole in their boots.
All tips are excellent, but the best I’ve learned from experience is (while I also test the tips here) I put the boots at the store and walk around, if possible I try lacing them again and again while also using a ladder to simulate going downhill (a good store should have them). This way you also learn which model do actually fit you best (first priority), then maybe style and looks as second priority. I found that while I liked a lot Salewa or some models from La Sportiva, only Zamberlan felt best on my feet and some La Sportiva were good also but not all. Feet anatomy is different in everyone and I need good arch support and some heel height, medium snug feel at the bridge and space for my toes but not empty space, I have small fingers. Another thing is that buying online should only be done if the change/return policy is good and if you don’t lose on import/shipping costs. Good luck! I’m a newcomer yes.
Just getting ready to go find some boots and wanted to see if I forgot anything, being open to suggestions and tips I found this to be great advice. Actually put my wool socks on and reminded me that I will need to get another wool insole for my secondary set of boots that I buy today/soon as I head out shopping. Thank you.
Great video however how does a person break in a boot if they are on a Thru-Hike like a Appalachian trail Thru-Hike.
Break in your first pair before starting the thru hike. If you have to get a new pair partway through the hike just go with a little bit more padded sock (always use wool too) and stay on top of blister /hotspot prevention like you normally would. I personally keep some duct tape wrapped around a water bottle to cover up hotspots before they turn into a blister. Leukotape or moleskin work well too... moleskin is probably the least versatile of the options though since first aid is probably the only thing you would use it for.
I have a pair of Dan Post Pirarucu boots on size 9 but im a bit concerned because my doubt is at the instep and tip of the toes. Getting the boot on is fine, i get the thud sound and whatever, but the instep is not really snug. I mean, it’s not snug, but its not super loose either. Also, i feel like i have a good inch or so from where my big toe is to the tip of the boot! Is that normal? By the way, the boots are cutter toe. I also do have a pair of Tecovas round toe on size 9 and those feel way better than the Dan Post. Is it because the cutter toe is more wide than the round toe?
As long as they are a little snug around your foot without being too tight and are comfortable without feeling like they'll fall off you should be good. Depending on the toe style its perfectly normal to have a little room in front, especially with narrower or more tapered shapes.
Thank you! I’ll get a comb!
Thanks so much me and my friend went hiking in this helped a lot
i like using my work boots as hiking boots, sure they're big and on the heavy side. but im so used to wear them over 44 hours a week that i dont mind, besides... i find them pretty comfy.
Newbie here, and I thank you so much! My Chihuahua got into a burr vine and it's all over his sweater, harness and leash, UGHHHH! You are absolutely adorable! Thank you! It helped immensely. Blessed Be )0( ❤👍🏼

@mrmoua-nbh9mh many thanks! some of us wear pants... in the woods
great tip. Thanks so much for sharing!
Great job tyler ❤
Thanks for good idea!
my converse are saved <3
At 5:50 you say the widest part of the foot should line up with the widest part of the shoe, and that it’s worth sizing up a bit for those two to line up even if it means more space in front of your toes than necessary. I have the opposite problem - when I get the right length and width shoe, the widest part of the shoe is closer to the toe than the widest part of my foot. If I downsize for those to line up, the toe box becomes far too tight. As a result, the flex point of the shoe is further forward than ideal, placing excessive weight on my toes rather than ball of foot at toe-off. Any advice? For some reason I only seem to have this issue with hiking boots, not running shoes.
Hmm... Have you had someone check your foot measurements on a Brannock device? It's unusual, but from what you're describing, it sounds like you basically have really long toes relative to your arch length (arch length meaning heel of foot to ball of foot measurement). Most of the time when there is a difference we see a bigger arch length size than heel to toe length size. When in doubt, it's usually best to go with the larger of the measurements.
6:29 I am also pressing a bit over the edge in my new shoes, light wise they are perfect but I have worn them for 2 weeks but they hurt my pinky toe thst is bulging over th sole of the shoe. What should I do? Does this break in or is the shoe too narrow?
For me that's usually not an issue and it usually breaks in just fine. But every shoe and every foot is a little different, including subjectivity of what different people can / will tolerate and/or find comfortable. Some shoes break in faster than others too. I know this replay probably isn't all that helpful, but the truth is, without reviewing the fit in person with you it's hard to say what the right answer is in this case.
Thanks man, great info!
great advice
Actually you need to have a foot-shaped shoe in order to properly fit it. Basic sizing 101.
Thank you 🤗Oh Im covered in it and threw out pants before. Not this time 😂
Is there a specific name for these "tiny" type of burrs? And in what environment do you find them the most? Thank you in advance if you know The answers to these odd questions lol😂
Wish I could tell you, but have no idea!
A great video!!!
Going back to the store tomorrow! Lol Boot felt GREAT for days but something is just off....pulled the insole out and it's literally the exact length of my foot!! Oops.
Any tips for getting off skin?, i was outside cleaning and cutting bur bush i was covered in them and some got to my skin, i took a bath but still feel itchy
No tricks in particular. You could try using baby oil and a comb if you have a lot of hair, but I've always just picked them off from my skin. The itch should go away in time. The little hairs on the burs can get embedded in your skin sometimes, but it's usually just superficial
I use this shoes during winter not knee high but after the snow melted.
New hiker here, haven't even bought proper boots yet so I wanted to find out all I could about what to look for when buying a pair - this video is fantastic. Thanks!
Buy second hand first, its easier buying cheap and reselling them. Than buying brand new boots, wearing them once and not getting a refund and being stuck with essentially trash
Awesome thanks so much. I've been having issues with a new pair beginner hiker here. Thanks for touching on width too.
Very chill guy, explaining basic shoe fitment to us with a lively attitude. If there were more school teachers like him, there wouldn't be a single student with a grade below a B-.
Very informative. Thank you.
Great information for any shoe
A good insole to replace the insole in a boot is the Spenco Full-Lenth Orthodotic. This was recommended to me by a podiatrist. It balances your foot if you have pronation. Also it protects the foot from puncture.
Thank you
Should I buy a boot one size up from my normal shoe size to accommodate boot socks?
I've put the same person in three different size boots before depending on the specific brand and model. Your best bet is to try them on with the socks you plan to wear and see what fits the best.
Thanks@@chaarstore
I normally wear Red Wing or Irish Setter boots but looking at a lighter option.
Which one would be the best for lawn mowing all day, walking on wet or dry grass and on concrete sidewalks and blacktop? Thanks!
For a good all-around pick that is lightweight and durable I would look at the Danner Vicious or Keen Detroit. Both of them are available with or without a safety toe. I linked the soft toe versions below. Danner Vicious: www.chaar.us/footwear/mens/work-boots/non-safety-toe-work-boots/6-inch-work-boots/danner-mens-vicious-4-5-waterproof-work-boots-brown/ Keen Detroit: www.chaar.us/footwear/mens/work-boots/non-safety-toe-work-boots/low-top-work-boots/keen-utility-mens-detroit-xt-waterproof-mid-work-shoe/
How can I clean that boots ?, since they are part of leather ?... Thanks
I would recommend a suede brush and some suede cleaner.
What are the top right line of brown boots in the video?
They are mostly boots from Carolina: www.chaar.us/brands/Carolina.html?sort=bestselling
@@chaarstore thank you ☺️
Sure did help
This worked great! Thanks for posting
Deer hunting this year and I stumbled into a flipping jungle of burrs. My blaze orange vest has 1000s. Thank you for this video! Although it will still take me 2 hours I’m glad I can salvage my vest with your help!
Any suggestions about cherry tomato plant thorns? The comb doesn't help.
Your guess is as good as mine on that one
So So So So So So Nice 👌
So glad I tried this, had single flower stickers head to toe from pulling weeds and they were stuck to sweatshirt and sweatpants. The worst ever and I was gonna throw them out... This worked great. Socks too.
I know this is a few years old now but this is the most informative video for boots I’ve ever seen 👏🏻👏🏻 thank you for this, some brilliant advice here and you’ve helped me big time.
Great content. Thank you.
Thanks man!
Thanks buddy
