these are the songs I use in my videos (not in order)
intro- undertale -megalovania
cold driven -the wicked side of me
sidewise- this time
fivefold - know-it-all
cold Kingdom - the light
ravenface - be silent
just a side note it's not easy getting songs to use that are copyright free. I spent hours searching for music I can use in my videos. these are the best songs I found that have lyrics and a complete songs. So I'll probably use these in a lot of my videos. When I find better songs or create some myself I'll start using those. hope you guys enjoy comment below :-)

![[ASMR] Top 3 Boot Conditioners TESTED - Bick 4 vs Mink Oil vs Obenaufs](/img/n.gif)
Really appreciate you putting this much effort into making these videos. I have several pairs of White's but the pricing and construction on these both look unbeatable for a work boot. Good call on the rough-out. But dude, I strong recommend getting your Nick's resoled (probably also with the honey Vibram for shock absorption). Taking two minutes to brush off that drywall dust with a stiff nylon brush at the end of each day, and rotating between two pairs of boots, will extend the life of them like 500%. The dust really gets into the pores of the leather and when you walk around it chews up the leather like sandpaper eating it up from the inside. Plus the moisture from your foot breaks down the leather, too, if the boot doesn't have time to fully dry out between wears. Tossing some cedar shoe trees in them between wears also helps keep the leather midsole in good shape and helps dry them out, too.
Finally a real boot review, not just guys who say the work 👍👍👍
Finally got my Frank's last week. Couldn't be happier with them so far. Definitely need to be broken in as they are made with such thick leather but damn they fit so nice!
Hope the newly-wed life is treating you well, be safe, and keep that hustle going.
Perfect video, keep em' comon!
Nice video. Very informative. Like the boots!
Just ordered my second pair of Franks. Got this pair coming with the honey vibram sole and composite toes. Can't wait!
Not the dummest video, I'm all about the boot videos.
Awesome boots!
Thinking you should definitely get a boot dryer. I put a 4 hour timer on my Peet dryer . Then I use cedar inserts . I gad problems with the leather under my heel . Doesn't even feel like I'm warning high heel .great video .
I have a dryer and it has been nice.
I’ve rocked some Irish setters for 8 years now. Same laces as well. Steel framer hanger and finisher.
every couple weeks would be great for videos.. enjoyed seeing the process of them, makes me want a pair. Maybe see how they look when they get one month old, then lets see those bad boys then... LOVE EM
Well done,, great review, think I am going to order a pair,
Kevlar laces , check them out .
Great video. I loved it ;-)
Damn, this makes me want to get a new pair of boots!
Great vid! Love the play-by-play!
I just ordered my sixth pair of Frank’s boots. They can’t be beat!
Wow that's a lot of boots! Haha. Mine should be coming in anytime now
That’s what my wife says.
I'm Sold! Great Video! Thank you. :)
These videos are getting me excited to get my Frank's boots hopefully they will get here soon
Rewatching this whole video again still patiently waiting for mine to show up it's been 105 days since I ordered but they did have a big order come in before I ordered
Fingers crossed they show up soon
@@stephanohman3903 how long did they end up taking? It's been 78 days for me, they said it should be soon now
Ordered April 3 delivered July 31st
Nice looking boot dude, loving the 10 inch better
You rock bro!
One day I'll own me a pair or two... I want to mention my last pair of red wings were the black 3507s and they would stain white socks all the time. I switched to black socks but when i ever wore short golf socks the black leather would stain my skin that would last a couple weeks.
They did the same to me as well ordered rough out and got smooth granted I don't care much because the boots are amazing but for my job roughout would have been better.
Hell yes I enjoyed the video. It took me a couple days, but very worth it. It would be cool to see updates every couple weeks if you are willing to. Great detail and enthusiasm to bro. Great video!
I'll be keep you all updated for sure. A how they were made video is next on the list with footage from Frank and junior working on these boots
@@NomadicINK that will be awesome to see
How are the boots looking and feeling now after a few months?
Doing good will be making an update video soon
nice video
So, I have a pair of Whites, Nicks, and now Franks. (I live near Spokane so I'm very fortunate). They are all good but Frank's are at the top of the list for me.
If you don't clean once a month or more your gonna not have them as long. The drywall dust will suck all the moisture out and basically speed up the breakdown of the leather. Just know from experience
Nicks pissed homeboy off lmao
I ordered walnut... But DAMN I may have to switch to chocolate. I wear uniform blue for work. Looks great with blue jeans. Much better than the walnut... The contrast with the honey vib is nice too.
IWolverine makes an excellent work boot for under $200 they’re comfortable right out of the box and have Goodyear rubber soles so they last along time
Bamboo socks my friend. Bamboo socks.
i just completed my 14'th day in my franks t1. not sure if this would help you or anyone else... i use some heavy duty leather LP (obenaufs) to grease my leather laces and they still look new after 14 days.
Other than the bulbous toe box, these look decent. But that toe box just looks goofy. Probably not the best boots for hanging drywall tho. That drywall coating on the boots pretty much makes it so you can't maintain the leather. Which is why these boots cost so much.
You should wear them all day sockless to work and make a review.
Can’t wait to get my Frank’s. Did you get full rough out or just rough out on toe and heel with smooth upper? Looks like rough out all over but wanted to make sure. Thanks for videos. Keep em coming
Love these boots man. The color/options you choose were awesome.
Did you choose the highest heel or the medium height heel?
I choose a high arch boot and a logger heel cut with the honey vibrams. I did the dark brown I think it was walnut.
Mr showers,
Just subscribes to your channel a few days ago. I was wondering if you can do a video of your Frank's boots. I am a little torn between Nick's and Frank's boots. If you could do rhat when you have time. I'd appreciate it. Please include how long you e had them and such
Both boots are awesome! How long are the laces on the Nick's and are they leather laces
Have you ever had problems with the steel toe rubbing on any of the boots you have owned? On all the different makers websites they state this is a possible problem and it not covered under warranty. This is the only thing that is holding me back. Unfortunately I have to wear steals for my job, otherwise I get sent home with no pay.
No problem with Frank's but I have a composite toe in those. The nicks would rub if you were on your knees and the toes bent back. The cold weather sucks for the steal. Id get comp if you can.
Give Frank's boots a call.
Nomadic INK Thanks for the info, I only just got a notification about your reply! I went with JK Boots in the end; I don’t get any rubbing or crushed toes from the composite toe. Build quality is amazing, would highly recommend JK’s.
@@dasp125 what made you go with JK in the end and how have they held up? Any complaints with the boot or customer service?
@@JayyBird93 can’t speak for OP but I have a pair of JK boots I received about three weeks ago-ordered them right before Christmas and got the call from Tim about two weeks into January. He’ll have a whole consultation with you over phone and is reachable by text message too, he only replied to me every Friday but I’m assuming he has a lot of folks hitting me up.
I ordered lace-to-toe composite toe boots and the build quality is great. The break in has been very rough though, I took it too fast and ended up hurting my feet. Don’t try to wear them to work at first and bring along an extra pair always, these are going to take me a few months of heavy use to fully break in.
@@joshualee3215 thanks for the feedback! Deciding between Frank’s and JK myself
I think you mentioned you have a composite toe now instead of steel. That’ll account for the weight difference
those boots look nice. how long will you be on that job?
Hello sir
I'm a truck driver and part time electrician.Im a subscriber and I watch every day you videos.I call and send Frank the meserment to my feet.
I wear only 8 in military boots till now.
What boots you recommend for my job.
I'm local driver,12 hr shift, pulling pallets,going in construction sites.
Last question...make any sense to go with 10 in.
Thank you in advance for your help and answers
Did you feel more ankle support with the 10" uppers vs. the 8"?
This video kind of reminded me of groundhog day. LMAO
Brush them things! They'll last longer
A little much for drywall in you would think you were a line man or something or fighting fires in Cali lol
how do the composite toes feel??
A LIFE OF OBSESSION...NO WAY
Son una nota
Can't decide if I want to invest in Frank's or Nick's yet. Any advice?
Franks followed by JK and then Nicks. Based on build quality, fit, and customer service. For me and my experiences.
@@MrJCP28 do you have Frank’s and JKs? Just curious on how you’re making the comparison
@@JayyBird93 Yes I have had. Franks nicks JK whites wesco and countless other lesser brands. Currently I have Franks and JK.
@@MrJCP28 what was it specifically that pushed Frank’s to the top and JKs second from your experience? I’m currently trying to decide between Frank’s and JK
Love this video bro! How much did these cost, if you don't mind me asking
About 550$
@@NomadicINK Very cool! I'm glad to see I won't need a mortgage to get a nice pair of boots
James! Would you go with the type 1's again? Or consider the type 2's
Both look good. I'd probably get the type ones again. They have been a good boot
@@NomadicINK hell yeah man
Is it harder to walk with them being that the back soles sit at an angle ??
The angle on the heel section is supposed to make walking easier.
I've been a Chippewa boot man for the past 6-8 years and the quality is in the gutter for 300 bucks and been looking at Frank's Nick's or whites one of the top 3 hand made boots what would you suggest I like yours with the softer sole and the fact you said they are lighter then nicks and im all for a lighter boot and are those steel toe or composite
Composite. I'd grab Frank's and let en know I sent you. They'll take care of you
@@NomadicINK i live outside of Philadelphia is their a dealer located near here or would I have to get the kit that sizes my foot amd arch and do it all on line
Brother don't get whites. Total waste of 500 bucks now. Go with Franks, Jk, or Nicks. All 3 money well spent.
@@MrJCP28 thank you im get a pair of franks in the near future my current boots are on their way out im about due for a new pair
Squanch still with you? Was hard worker btw English not applied
i do the same sheetrock.. but those boots are to heavy for me i dont think i can work 8 hours in those boots
You dont notice the weight and also the arch support of the boot makes you stand balanced. Which leaves you less fatigued at the end of the day and it also helps distribute the weight of a load you may be carrying.
You can order them with a flat sole and customize the style more to your liking
Are these new boots composite or steel toe?
My franks have composite toe
I hope you tell em how kenny Weldon wont pay his workers!!!! He doesn't deserve the work he gets if he wont pay the workers he hires to do it I was told he didn't even pay his biological brother theres his work ethic coming from a worker of his
Are those chocolate or walnut? Would love to see how they look oiled up after being worn. In process of ordering from frank rn. Was gonna go black/honey vibram but might do walnut.
Im pretty sure they are the walnut. Its the dark brown but the rough side is a little lighter then the smooth
@@NomadicINK nice im going with honey vibram so might do the same as you. Just worried the brown will get stained up but idk which looks better
stop stepping on screws!
Does 10 inches feel good?
I really like my 10 inch Nicks. Comfortable height and a bit more support
@@n2boots389 The instep isn't too tight anth toe area is snug?
shylildude Not at all. The fit is great. I really prefer the extra height.
They fit great. I think you will be happy if you go 10 to inch high. I find it to be my favorite height.
