Bro the best thing happened to me today when I got on UA-cam
Guess what
Jeremiah posted a video about cowboy boots
Haha yeah buddy!! Thanks!
I'm old enough (71) and been wearing boots since a teen, my own business paid well so I collected hundreds of pairs of boots in most types of leathers and wide variety of colors, most with curved toe, leather lining, slant/walking heel, and leather insoles because I have to use orthotic insoles so I wear one size larger boots. I found my favorite boots are simple honey tan color sueded or rough out, 13-14 inch tall with tan rubber sole, also buckle style engineer boots in the same tan rough out, a girlfriend had a custom pair of Wesco's made for me that are incredibly comfortable, and at 20 years old still look new. Over the years I've given away most of the exotic boots, as well as a variety of colors, if someone admired what I was wearing and they fit I usually gave them away.
You're a nice guy to be giving away exotics!
You give away other guys boots what size
@@darrylswrinkledmarineshoes752 never thought they were supposed to, but my feet have continued to grow, in my teens-20's 9 1/2-10 1/2, 30's 101/2-111/2, until now at 73 wear 13-14. Most of the exotics have been gifts, the only ones that still fit are gray ostrich in size 11 1/2, ones too small, gray in cayman 11, some type of tan snake 11 1/2, not exotic, have tan, chocolate, deep gray, honey and black rough out in 10 1/2-11 1/2, the last bunch claimed by my son. Have to check closet's of other house to see what's left.
Wish I had started my own boot channel. I’ve been a boot obsessed guy for about 6 years now.
I too prefer the look of caiman best. But they don’t stretch and eventually split. The most comfortable is full quill ostrich
There's still time Mr.! You should try it out
I have 20+ year old full quill pair(my first pair) that still look new.
I agree with your boot preferences 🤙🏼 everybody’s got their own things. Square toes are just too bulky for my “aesthetics”😂. Hard to beat a sleek sharp boot. 😎
Definitely!
I like the ruggedness off sqaure toes, but I have a handful of round toes for that clean look every now and then
Nothing sleeker or sharper than a snip-toe IMO, which is technically a square toe.
I tend to prefer sharper toe styles: snip toe, J toe or the shark-nose toe of Sendra boots. I don't like the kind of wide square toe that seems to be trendy now. Lucchese's narrow square toe (number 7) looks great though, and I like the square toe of harness boots. The medium cowboy toe is growing on me. They are more rugged. For exotics, I really like lizard, but I would like to get some caiman (tail cut), rattlesnake or ostrich leg. For the rest, I agree with you, although I can tolerate black soles on brown boots. But black boots must have black soles.
The rattlesnake boots tend to fall apart with time
@@abelhernandez2591 Really? Maybe I should take python, then. Too bad, because I like the pattern on the rattlesnake skin.
@@Xerxes2005 Yeah and the pythons turn a little yellowish but if you buy some reptile conditioner and really take care of them they'll last you longer
YOU GOT ME IN TROUBLES!
Started to see your videos and got the right feel for the right boots, ended with Lucchese and I don't think I will be able to get anything else below that, they feel better than my sneakers!
Haha happy to help!
@@JeremiahCraig by the way, following you from San Jose, Costa Rica. Constantly travel to US (Philly) for working reasons and after months waited for my only travel to Texas to be able to get the right boot (as inventory is better there). I could've bought crappy boots and then regret, your videos help me get the best boot and have the best memories of that Texas travel. :D
I am now ready to get a set or ropers and by the end of the year save for some exotic leather ones.
I just invested in my first pair of double H's this week. I appreciate your videos man, i gained alot of insight! And watching you and your brother gave me more confidence to wear my boots everyday! Keep it up man!
That's awesome!! Congrats! We're happy to help and welcome to the wide world of boots
I like a R toe or a J toe, I like leather lining. JC I am also in love with those Boulet's as well. I am on the hunt for the right lady pair for me.
The love the black ones!
I think your right on the R toe being the best all round toe! Thanks for sharing, nice video!
R toe for the win! Cheers buddy!
I think you need shoe trees..
These help is stretching and reshaping boots, especially along vamp, after each use, etc.
I've been thinking about doing that for some of my new boots but I'm a simple guy and I like that boots are simple too when it comes down to it. There are plenty of extra things like shoe trees I just never wanted because it complicates everything
My first were plain Fryes with a squarish toe and square heel, back in my teen days in the 1970s. They wore out and were tossed back around 1980. Now I just got a pair of DanPost with a J toe and tapered heel… and I can’t see going back to either of the features of my Fryes. Funny how life goes
Adam looking mighty polished and clean. I think one of the best things that ever happened to that boot was the gas. It gave it character.
Lucchese caiman belly cheery black . King of the hill 👑
My favorite-medium round toe ostrich. Mostly brown's and tans. Leather sole and insole. But I gotta say, my new navy blue ostrich boots are my new favorites! Not a fan of black boots unless it's a black cherry.
Nice! I'm gonna feature a pair of blue ostrich next month! Such a great color and skin
Just thought about your boot video: boots for some people, like me, are an extension of a way of life. I never learned to tie shoes because there was no need. We wear boots, I am in my 70s and still struggle to tie a shoe. Horsemen and cowboys always wear GOOD BOOTS. The style and quality is as recognizable to our peers as the custom suit is to a professional businessman’s colleague. Boots for us are not fashion statementa or an attempt to be part of a crowd, all things in our world is rooted in pragmatic use or history. This is shown on styles of saddles, tack, length of rope and, of course, boots. We would no more resort to cheap boots than we would to fashion hats.
Keep up the good work, you can save the world from vinyl boot tops and plastic soles. Educate, educate, educate.
FYI: you might discuss most durable leathers some time. My experience is that for toughness and comfort smooth Ostrich is best with elephant equal, I have a pair of Anderson Bean elephants that have’t had my spurs off in 7 years except to get new heels. Shark for me is super tough but no stretch to conform to your foot. Full quill ostrich is the go to dress boot with your cayman, croc, and gater reserved for weddings, funerals, and hangins.
Again good work.
Thanks Bill! I can't wait to do a series on leather. I'll probably dedicate a video to each one. I wanna make them right! I appreciate the encouragement. It means a lot
I like the way you speak, good sir. Keep making videos. Maybe one with a Philip J. Fry impression.
My preferences usually depend on various things, maybe including mood. I find my favorite pair from last month may not be my favorite this month.
Makes sense. I feel the same way sometimes but I always come back to my first pair just because I have so many memories with them
I never get tired of seeing your boots. I love your boots
Thanks me too!
@@JeremiahCraig Always makes my day, or night, when I see you have posted another boot video.
That is really the best thing about cowboy boots. Everything about them is subjective. From color down to material. To even the bootmaker or company. Everyone has different tastes and cowboy boots come in all flavors. Something for everyone. From work boot to dress boot to taditional to practical, there is no right or wrong cowboy boot. Personally I like a brown upper with a black shaft. Just sayin🤷♂️
100%!! I love that there are so many options so we can rock our own favorite styles!
I certainly like the medium round toes Although I find when I drive they tend to hang up between gas and brake pedals on my truck a bit. So I have to lower my foot a bit while driving. But that is all I do not like about medium round toe. And you are very correct as they can be worn in about any setting, And as long as they are clean in a social setting...if so you got the boot for the jobs.
I can see that. Square toes are good for driving too
I think brown and black look great together so get with the program man! 😂
My favorite toe style: Medium Round/Medium Square Toe
My favorite heel style: Stockman and Roper Heel
My favorite exotic leather: Ostrich
My favorite insole: Leather
My favorite outsole: Leather for Casual but Rubber for work and Michigan Winters
Great choices! Winters need rubber soles!
I don’t care for the holes as pulls. I just don’t like the way they look. I’ve never really considered the other attributes to look for. I will consider them in the future.
My preferences are roughly the same with some tweaks here and there. Some beers with my buddies, hell yeah boi
You know it!
Agree 100% on caiman. I just feel like a boss with mine on lol. And agree 100 % on black on brown colors. Lots of beautiful black boots I won't buy because of the brown soles etc.
Ya man I like me some medium round but my fave is snip toe. The caiman is also my favorite I have a pair of yeehawcowboy caiman tail black cherry snip toe and a pair of Dan Post bayou caiman belly medium square toe in the cognac. They are the shit. I love them both.
Yes! Both sound amazing. Caiman is such a good look
Could you do a video about extra large size boots? We are a family 6’5” to 6’10” with sizes that range from size 13 to 17
Favorite toe, French. Least favorite, wide Square.. because it just looks bad on me.
Favorite heel, Stockman. Least favorite, Roper.
What makes a boot is the shaft. Give me Whip Stitch or Laser cut or Corded.
Favorite exotic, Gator. Honorable mention to Ostrich which is great quality but I don't like the pimples. Least fav is that flaky fish thing.
My favorite is french to too. It's just so perfect.
Hi, I just found your channel yesterday. Yes, I already subscribed. I don't own any cowboy boots. (Yet) thanks to all your information, I will be getting a pair soon. My wife is gonna get pissed. ( because I will buy like 5 pairs.) but I would like to thank you. So... thank you Jeremiah. Thank for sharing.
Haha yes! Thanks. Go big or go home! Welcome to the wide world of cowboy boots
Agree with your preferences, I prefer a higher top on my boots.
I personally can not do roper heel, it has to be cowboy heel with a decent spur ridge and a taller top. I love buckaroo style too with the tall shaft and pull holes. Otherwise I am medium round toe with single stitch welt all the way. The boot also must be traditionally built leather on leather with pegs and brass nails.
I got Van's foam insoles on top of thin dollar store insoles in my ariats cuz the original insoles in my ariates were just too think for my dress socks
Hi jremaya, I have the ariat sport r toe western boot and I'd like see your opinion on them. Love your channel I watched all your videos
Just ordered ustin Men's Smooth Ostrich AQHA Remuda I like the square toe
so glad i found your channel!
I think all boots are cool. The only boots I definitely would not wear are the real pointy Mexican boots. The snip toe is still cool. For some time people would rock the pointy boots which was trendy back in the days
Hey JC, it's been a while! Unfortunately I've been super busy lately and haven't had much time to watch, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm now the proud owner of a pair of cowboy boots! Ever since coming across your channel I've wanted a pair, but I didn't have the means to get them, until recently. If I wasn't surfing the internet and found your channel, I wouldn't know the awesomeness that are boots. So I just want to say thank you, and keep bringing us all smiles and good times! ♥️
So cool! Thanks for letting me know! What did you get?
We all have individual preferences when it comes to cowboy boots....It's all good as long as you are wearing them....My preferences wouldn't be very popular I'm sure, but that is OK, I like how I look in my boots...
I love my Black Capistrano’s!
It’s a great boot!!
I think Saphir Rep Tan would work great, huge improvement on the caiman belly..
I still have to try Saphir products. I've strayed away from them so far because of price but I've heard great things!
I have a pair of Tecova Nash suede and Tecova Nash (Blk)/ I love them but I want to try Ranch Road and they don't have 7 EEE.
Yeah that's one of the issues with Ranch Road. Not many sizing options unfortunately
Hey you forgot shaft height and scallop depth
I like around 12in tall and normal scallop or stovepipe. Nothing too deep
I’m goin with the caiman as well
Good choice!
Your belly boots are very cool!!
Slightly round and I also like the snip toe as well,square toe doesn't work for me,I have a collection of cowboy boots,some I have had for 30 plus years..like your videos
Thanks Ted! I hope some of mine last that long
@@JeremiahCraig they will
@Jeremiah Craig have you had a chance to try the Tecovas Alligator boots? Curious to get your comparison with caiman in general...also, what about eel(!)
I haven't yet but they look great. Haven't tried eel yet either. There are just so many different styles to try! Hopefully this year
Another thing I like alot is seeing the bottom of your great looking boots.
could you do a pro-cons on certain types of leather?
Will do! I still haven't tried them all so maybe later this year
I like blue for jeans and can’t find inserts design like cars flags etc
I never knew you owned ariat ramblers. Ever plan on reviewing them? I didn't know they came in that nice dark brown.
I just got them for a review and decided to slip them into this video to see who noticed haha! You're the only one. The review comes Thursday 1/16
I agree with all your preferences. You gotta have leather everywhere! But my favorite toe is the snip toe!
Love it! Snip toe is a great look
I like the look of caiman but I bought some Los Altos boots and on the 2nd day of owning and wearing them they already started cracking even after conditioning. Can’t return them either which is a shame.
That is a shame. Jose at YeeHaw is really good about returns. My Caimans are still great. Had them on last night for a video and I didn't want to take them off haha
So what if the shaft being Navy and the foot being brown?
I’m cool with that
Jeremiah Craig then I think you wouldn’t like the Red dead series from redemption to redemption 2 cause Johns boots are like that where it’s a black shaft and a brown faded footing
Hey did you ever get used to wearing the 936 slim fit wranglers? Wrangler also has a 2% stretch 98% cotton version that are great ... not the traditional 13mwz or 936 which I think look the best but the stretch are comfortable.
I can only wear wranglers with my cowboy boots... anyone else like me?
I never did. I sent them back. They weren't very comfortable for me
That’ll too bad ... I love the way that they fit ... they show off your best “assets” if you know what I mean ... but hey you’re married your don’t have to worry about those things anymore;)
Jeremiah do you have a phone number for Ya Hoo Boots. They have almost no stock to purchase and am worsening if they are going to restock the Cayman in the J toe? Thanks got your help. Love the video on your favorites.
I love hard leather insoles and leather insoles with a little bit of foam underneath but I'm paranoid that over my lifetime walking on hard leather only will slowly destroy my heels and back.
Honestly, have you noticed any symptoms of these things yet?
Nope I haven’t felt that at all
@@JeremiahCraig Thank you 😁
And I hope I can wear cowboy boots my entire life.
Me too!
@@TheMidnightModder If the cowboys could do it, so can you
@@londonwatson7342 I'd like to have a good back when I'm 90 sooo
What boot rack is that? I really need one haha
I have to ask my mother in law, it was a gift!
I bought a pair for $11 but they don't fit because my calf muscle is to large
My wife has the same problem. We plan on doing a video about what can be done about it soon
Double stitched welts look ridiculous to me. Like white dress shoes.
To each their own. I'm fascinated by the divide. People either love them or hate them!
As u age yr feet flat out prefer fuller round toe 1 size larger vibrium or non slip soles and a walking heel. Hate Lester it slides when wet
Sure does! Definitely have to be careful
You wear other guys boots what sizes
Re: your boot preference: kudos to you for fondness for boots. To each their own. I do have some speculation from watching your great videos, I would guess you were born or live east of the Mississippi. Why would I guess that? If you were in Fort Worth or OKC in the company of, say 200, people who make their living under big hats and on top of good horses, your J toe walking heel would scream wrong place, wrong time.
Those 200 people would most likely be wearing square toes, lots of Ostrich, double welts to protect against a stristirrup, and an insole would be unheard of. The workmanship of those kind boots presents glove like fit at first try. This style will likely change in next few years because of such a heavy demand from the European market but until then this style boot is accepted in the ranch, arena, boardroom, and formal charity ball.
Boot styles of hands from the great basin, Nevada, Idaho, N. CA, some Montana and Wyoming are different again with 18 inch tops and 3 to 5 inch underslung riding heels. It’s a big, diverse world out there.
Yep! Lots of boots to try for sure. I got nothing against any styles just favorites
Mr. Arends, I, and maybe others, would be interested to hear some of your preferences in boots, and brands in particular. Sounds like you may have worn a pair or two over the years!
Brian Olsen
Thank you for your inquiry, I would be pleased to offer an opinion or two. I got my first pair of boots about the time I started walking. My grandfather explained to me that I needed to walk bow legged in them or people would think I was a sheep herder. I promptly proceeded to break the boots over, much to the ire of my mother for me and my grandpa.
Boots are part of my lifestyle even as I slow down a little. Quality first is one inviolate rule, with that in mind I have always been well served by Rio of Mercedes and Anderson Bean. They have common origins and that carries forth in quality of material, workmanship, and styling. These boots command a higher price than the fashion or occasionally worn brand. The boots hold up well in the stirrup and will support a refurbish if desired.
There are a number of quality boots out there, Ariat, Logan, Rod Patrick, to name very few. Lack of brand name mention might cause on to pause.
I cannot justify a boot that incorporates a great deal of man made material in its construction. I have never seen them hold up.
Smooth Ostrich is my go to hide for daily wear, nothing beats full quill Ostrich for dress, each is super tough. Personally I have never found snakeskin that attractive and have never owned a pair. I do admire gators but think them a little ostentatious for me. Eel, frog, ring back lizard, and others are just plain silly. I love elephant but stopped wearing them out of conscience.
Hope this gives some insight. Thanks for asking. There few simple rules: always choose quality over fad, be informed, and always remember those who wear boots don’t stub their toe as much.
Bill Arends Thank you for the reply, it’s appreciated. I would place you in Texas, so hopefully over your 70+ years it was the horses that made you bow-legged, and not walking funny in your boots. I have never owned Rios of Mercedes, but soon will as I have some on order, and yes, the price would have made your granddad keel over! Have you looked at Fenoglio boots from Nocona? You might approve of them. Happy trails!
Brian Olsen
Life time in Oklahoma atop some great horses in the company of wonderful boot wearing folks. Enjoyed several different careers but always with a good horse and saddle close by. Up and down the Red River with and friends still there. Gonna check out Fenoglio, liked Noconas back in the day.
Супер тоже хочу такие.🐎🦢🐝
Man, I wish Europeans were more into boots.
There are quite a few who are and I bet more would be if they were more available. I'll do my best to keep increasing interest with videos!
@@LoneWolf-qk9pl I did. I bought a pair of Sendras.
