Thanks for watching! What questions do you have? This Shaw boot from Caswell Bootmakers really opened my eyes. My first experience with the brand was certainly a success! I'm very happy with the $360 I spent. The owner (Kevin) is very active in Caswell's subreddit, so please go join if you want more info about the brand or the boots: / caswellboots
I also realized I completely forgot to discuss the sizing as it pertains to fit. I got these in 10-D which is my normal size. I wear 10-D in pretty much everything; Grant Stone Diesel and Ottawa (Leo Last), Thursday Captain (Kingmaker, Encore, RT3 last), Truman 79 Last, Red Wing No. 45 last and No. 8 last, etc, etc, etc. If you have any sizing questions I'd be happy to help how I cna.

I’m sold. I’ve been eyeing Caswell for almost a year, but there was always something else on the list that trumped. But that Whiskey leather on that new last is the exact makeup I want. Thank you for putting this out.
Awesome! Glad to hear it! Do they have your size in stock? Fingers crossed... You'll really like it. Prob my fav boot of 2023 and that's saying a lot.
Thanks for the review. God, I want these a ton. Maybe Santa will come through in the clutch.
Sure thing, man! Hey Santa!!! You listening?!?
My Caswells in olive waxed flesh on Wayne last are solid, stylish and comfortable. They are almost 2 lbs each, so they are real boots equal in weight to Alden Indy. The Vibram treadway style sole is a winner. My boots have a surprising amount of arch support. Insole is a bit contoured.
Nice!! Thanks for sharing. I haven't tried the treadway sole yet but hope to in 2024. I'll most certainly be getting another pair of Caswells too!
I just bought a pair of these as well. They arrived today and are beautiful.
Great video Patrick! I’m glad you found a leather that appeals to you and are able to see what I love about Caswell boots!
Thanks, Chris! For the comment AND the direction and help to get to this point. Caswell is officially in my "Holy Trinity" of Top 3 bootmakers now.
Kevin and his Caswell boots are awesome! I have three pairs and love them all. Mine are all in the Wayne last, and I'm looking forward to trying other lasts and leathers.
Oh nice!! I'm assuming you like the Wayne, then? Is it comparable to any others I might know? Thx for the comment!
@@rockymtnstyleThe Wayne last fits my feet wonderfully! I have the Lisbon in black CXL and snuff Waxy Commander, and the Lisbon II in olive CXL.
It's really hard to compare the comfort of the Wayne last to any of my other boots. It looks sleek, but gives me plenty of room. My Allen Edmonds 1757-lasted boots (Higgins Mill and Patton) are comfy, but certainly don't have as classy a shape.
My Grant Stone Leo last Edward boots in loden suede are very comfortable too.
Reminder to all that Caswell boots fit true to Brannock sizing - not the somewhat typical half size down of many brands (like Grant Stone).
Appreciate the thorough reply!
Very sharp looking pair of boots. As always, your reviews are second to none Patrick.
Ahh you're too kind! But I really do appreciate that. Thanks for the continued support, Erik!
Picked up a pair of Lisbon 2 Jamaica Kudu sample with a vibram sole. Love them. Such a comfortable last with a sleek silhouette.
Oh now that sounds cool... Jamaica Kudu! Samples are such a cool way to grab a unique boot.
That’s a great pick up! Cool leather and now a one of a kind boot
Chris (if it's the same Chris I've spoken to) is awesome and he's spot on about how much good stuff Caswell is releasing. Great video, Pat, enjoy the boots
Thanks!! And I bet it is the same Chris! Lol
If it was me then yes, I’m a huge fan of Caswell boots! I just got a shipping notification for my sixth pair.
@@ChrisotW hey Chris I got my notification today for the Lisbon IIs as well. Looking forward to getting them! 3rd pair here
@@BB-gl7ztthe Maryam Toscanello TPR? I can’t wait to see everyone post their boots from this GMTO!
@@ChrisotW yes sir, my first Toscanello TPR!
Haven't heard of Caswell. They look really nice and will be keeping them in mind for future boot purchases!
Cool! Fairly new (2019) and still pretty small. Big plans though! Their first sneaker is coming out soon and I'm really stoked about that.
Great video and sweet looking boots. I look forward to seeing how they look after a year.
Yup, me too! Thanks, J!
Caswell will do pop-up shops in the DC area, which is a great time to check them out for anyone that's local.
Yeah, for sure! I saw the last one advertised and was jealous I'm 2/3 of the country away!
Kevin is all about SERVICE. He can build an empire. Turn him loose.
Yes indeed! I'm learning that about him.
Good video pal. I like the way those look but I will wait for models with speed hooks but these remind me of the Viberg boots. Looks great! I am a big fan of GS and I can't imagine that GS is able to make their boots 100% leather and Casewell wouldn't be able to do the same. I guess that's why GS beats them out because they're made in china but that's ok.
Thanks! Yeah, I think China helps versus Spain, but I think "leatherboard" is still better than a textile!
Oh and yeah, really wish there were speed hooks!
The Caswell here is sharp as a tack. I'd buy that for a dollar! Thanks Patrick.
Heck yeah! Happy to serve!
Very cool. Glad to see they have more roomy lasts now
Yes indeed. Thx for dropping a comment!
@@rockymtnstyle I'll try it at true to size (9.5 D ) and maybe 10 D
These look amazing. :)
You got that right, brother!
Great looking boots! Would love to see a comparison between these and Parkhurst.
I think that's a great idea! While I'm at it, might as well throw in Truman and Grant Stone!
@@rockymtnstyle Now you’re talking! 👍
You should pick up a pair, check them out and do a review for your channel! For me the Caswell Wayne last feels like the Grant Stone Leo last. Only Caswell are true to size vs sizing down a half size in GS. I still need to pick up a pair of Parkhurst to compare. There will be more colorways coming later this year. Message Caswell to find out more.
Do it Leeeee!!
@@rockymtnstyle I might have to look into a pair of Caswells!
Just pulled the trigger on a pair of these in the W&C Chesnut Oiled Latigo in 10.5 (apparently the last pair of 10.5… sorry). They should get here next week. I am super excited to see how these fit compared to the Lisbon.
Awesome!! I'll 100% be interested to hear what you think because I could see myself getting a Lisbon in the boot too distant future!
@@rockymtnstyle I LOVE my Lisbon boots. Haven't had them long, but I find myself reaching for them more so than others in my collection. Sleek like a Thursday President with Grant Stone levels of build quality. I even don't mind the lack of speed hooks (but would prefer them.) Depending on the leather, the Lisbon can easily be dressed up and is probably best suited for smart or business casual which (because of my job) is my typical Monday thru Friday use case. It's because the Lisbon is so good, I jumped on the Shaw. Caswell seems to do smaller batch runs, so Kevin runs out pretty quick, and after watching your video, I really wanted that slightly chunkier look of the Shaw to add to my collection.
Nice looking boot, the backstay design reminds me of Viberg and Bordon.
A shame it seems they've written off those with larger feet. I not only didn't see an option for a men's size 14, but 13 (US) as well? Always tough when you have to write off a brand before the video ends... 😢
Ahh yeah that's tough. Sorry to hear it brother! I've gotten spoiled due to the very averageness of my feet.
Would like to see what they look like after 6 months of wear , hiw the breakin look.
Hey it would be nice to see videos on boots you reviewed already but the ones that has wear tear already because us boots men like boots with nice rugged worn look .
Hey! Yeah - that's the plan. But I only have 2 feet and I haven't been wearing boots much in the summer. There will be more updates of many of my boots in the fall. :)
Sadly no. Based on the sizing guidance, I should order the 10D. But on Brannock, I’m between 10 and 10.5E and I did see a 10.5E available on the site. I believe I will be sending them an email in the near future.
Maybe I took your pair! Doh!
i don't like paying over $300 and getting a pre scuffed boot. i realize the first day i wear them they will be scuffed. but don't send me someone else's scuffs. but i would admit for the price i might not worry about the scuffs too much. but when the price tops over $500 i better not be getting someone else's scuffed up return.
That’s the way that leather is. I came from the tanner that way and will patina differently than other leather. Caswell explicitly calls this out on the product description for this specific boot. You will not get ‘scuffed’ boots when ordering other colorways.
Yeah, what Chris said below. I agree with your overall point, though... When I shot the unboxing a month ago I didn't realize the truth, though. But I spoke to the owner and he told me how the Predator leather is, and after a few wears I can confirm that's correct. It just looks like scuffing because of where it is on the boot.
Hi great video. Question with the looks of that boot what can you compared them to in looks ?
Do you on viberg boots ? Or whites semi dress ?
I didn't own Vibergs before... but I do now. I have a service boot 2030 bct in gobi regency calf. I wouldn't say they are similar to the Caswell at all, really. The Viberg is much more sleek and elegant whereas this is more utilitarian in shape. I don't have any Whites other than the Perry Moc Toe. Cheers, mate!
@rockymtnstyle Do you have a video about your viberg ? So expensive but hope some day I can own a pair. My next may be whites semi dress boots , love the look on those.
Not yet! Been wearing my Nicks I just posted the video on, but now that I have the 1-month video over with I can put some wear on the Vibergs and get a video out on them.
I'D BUY IT IN BLACK SO I CAN WEAR IT TO WORK.
Ha! If you love black makes sense!
NEED BLACK BOOTS! TOO MANY BROWN BOOTS!
Fair enough! But black boots don't coordinate with most of my wardrobe! Lol!
Looks a bit to dressy for me.
Yeah, they have that look, but feel less dressy in person.
Not a fan of speed hooks
Looks like these would be right up your alley, then! ;)
