- Pick up a Turbo Chelsea for yourself here - ariat.dkkdet.n...
I've cut in half Blundstone boots, Redback Boots, and RM Williams boots but they are all Australian chelsea work boots. Today I am cutting the American brand Ariat's work chelsea called the Turbo Chelsea and it's got the most unique shank I've ever seen!

Turns out these were not the puncture resistant rated versions but they do have an option that is certified puncture resistant. Here is the link bit.ly/350rYTQ
I'd love to see redback vs ariat - seems like those are two front runners in your videos of chelsea's. even colubia has a pair now that are comfy but not durable. they use a softer sole it seems
You should tear apart a pair of standard issue boot, from the army.
i love how mad you are at the carhartt boots
Everyone should be mad when legacy companies sell out
Agreed what a shame
That's what Dickies brand did years ago. When a bunch of young people started wearing Dickies brand as a fashion statement, Dickies went after that market. They raised their prices and their quality plummeted.
@@jnicksnewstart I bought a pair at Wal-Mart 4 years ago. I have never owned a boot make it over a year before them. I am limited by my foot size being pretty wide. Wolverine and Propet are the only ones that make my size boot. The Dickies fit with one size up.
Wondering if Dr martens and all of these other brands know that they've all been exposed ! This guy is a freaking hero!
He has done DM's and it wasn't good. DM's aren't as good as they were before back in the 70s 80's. I was a big fan of DM's up until they changed factory's.
@@jasonrouse6912 yeah but i wonder what DMs response was to his video
@@EllecastArow his view was no shank and poor build of boot. There's a video of him cutting them in half. Check it out.
Super ironic too b/c , like others, I keep getting ads for Dr. Martens before these videos.
@@jasonrouse6912 still has practically nothing to do with what she said/asked. She has obviously seen the videos herself, and is contemplating how the companies reacted to his slams.
I bought these after watching this video and they lasted ok. The inside of the heel was the first thing to fall apart. Then the leather began to crack where it comes into contact with the side of the rubber sole. Overall it did ok for a boot at this price, but I think there are better overall value options.
And those options would be?

Throwing some serious shade in that title 😂😂😂
The puncture resistant layer is CSA approved, it means it is as effective as a steel layer or can stand up to the same test, CSA is the Canadian standard of the ASTM. It is also nice to see a American company carries CSA approved products.
Interesting thanks for the info! I didn’t see any info on it’s puncture resistance on their site. I wonder if it has the same resistance as the image I put in the video because I just pulled that from google images.
That's valuable info, friend. Thank you. I'm also in Canada and I'm in the market for a pair of decent but "cheap" boots.
TheJohn8765 you can look up surplus boots, Canadian MK4 combat boots. They have csa versions, I bought a pair online for 80 bucks, brand new. Some of the nice ones have goretex. Normally goretex boots are very expensive. Or you can look up magnum, the composite toe boots are the lightest ones I ever had.
Been wearing ariets for 20 years and never had a problem
I seriously think Carhartt is the sponsor that backed out lol
That would make perfect sense
Ha ha I promise they were not. I am not taking sponsors from the boots I’m reviewing for this series. It was an independent sponsor that backed out.
@@RoseAnvil you should man. its never changed your opinion and it benefits the viewer and your channel
@@presleyluis4666 well yes, people already subscribed know sponsors don’t change his opinion but anyone coming onto his channel new wouldn’t know how trustworthy his word is. Not accepting the actual shoes’ sponsors makes it less of a question for everyone else involved so it’s honestly the best option. It’s not like he isn’t getting sponsors, hes still making money nonetheless, he’s just removing any doubts people could have.
@@RoseAnvil This is the smart business decision - getting independent sponsors that aren't in your product review group keeps the cashflow undisturbed by your video content. It's a good lesson that some channels fail to learn.
The best sponsors are the ones that are from outside your entire segment - e.g. ones that aren't wallets or leather products etc. as those cannot be affected by anything you do.
Like a vacuum cleaner sponsor, or a car sponsor, or a .... nope, I refuse to even suggest the ... well, I'm sure most of us have seen sponsorships for certain types of products and usually only one or two of them on a huge amount of various channels. I get that people accept them as sponsors, but that's a product category I dislike so much I won't even mention it by name. And no, it's not the earbuds.
My comment is not on the video but I just have to say I recently bought the Togo wallet from you and it's the nicest wallet I've ever had. Keep up the outstanding work.
From what I can tell, you are becoming the "Lock-Picking Lawyer" of the Boot World.
Bloody well done, sir. And well deserved. Keep it up!
He's the boot-kicking buyer
Strudel is taking over Toaster's job😂
Nah, Toaster is just smart subcontracting his work #moneymoves
I used to work at a farriers supply warehouse/shop in the UK called B.L. Farrier Supplies and we sold loads of these.
ariat vs redback?!?
The ultimate chelsea workboots are Redbacks. Tough as nails for the outside, but like walking on clouds on the inside. Some of the very best Australia has to offer 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Hey man, can you compare Irish Setters moc toe Wingshooter boots to the redwings? Irish Setter is owned by Redwing, and it would be interesting to see Redwings "budget" boot line/company. This would fit right in to you Moc toe series!
This show has completely changed what I look for when I buy any shoe.
It's Mr. Bigglesworth!!! 🐱
They look like the typical Chinese made Aussie workboots found on blue collar worksites across Australia, both with & without steel caps, with the Ariat brand applied
Why Americans persisted with laced workboots so long is beyond me. Chelseas are so much more comfy & can be flicked off easily when one gets in the car to drive home. Something like 98% of work boots in Oz have been the elastic sided variety since like the mid 70’s, with or without steel caps.
Speaking of work chelseas, Jim Green has one. Interesting brand from South Africa. Looks like nice leather, good outsole, steel shank, for $119. Curious what the insides of those look like.
I've actually been talking to them!
Those look really nice, I like the Razorback too
@@RoseAnvil Please do a teardown on both the razorbacks and the stockmans
Nice to see a company that can shift production to China without cutting every corner possible.
Still not gonna buy it,but A for the effort though
I have an original Ariat paddock boot, from when they were made In Italy. They are 30 years old! I only use them to ride , but if I knew I could replace them I'd wear them more.
These are US made now apparently
@robformica5394 they have one that's assembled in the USA whatever that means
Nothing beats a good Chelsea work boot. Wearing Redbacks now very comfy and durable. These look comparable. Hate the China factor as always .
Do you know if Redbacks are good for standing on skinny ladder rungs? Thanks!
They are not. Compared to traditional boots. @@thomasnunya1438
Tempted to try these out for a Midwest winter and thick socks 🤔
I'd like to see how this ariat boot is compared to the Blundstones and redbacks
Red back’s Sister company “Blue Tongue” has interesting Internals!! Please do a review 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I love Redback. They are the best boots I have worn in a long time
I'd love to see redback vs ariat - seems like those are two front runners in your videos of chelsea's
I would like to see more work boots- In construction, a popular entry-level boot is Aggressor Men's 6 In Lynx II Steel Toe. (Canada) well known cheapy.
I'd like to see this done to Vasque hiking boots and Solo hiking boots. Solo, about $150, had a plastic shank. They fell apart in about 3 months. I was a meter reader who walked and hiked about 10 miles a day.
So I e always loved work boots, with that said I found your channel pretty recently and I gotta say thanks a lot. I e now gotten into way more costly boots for work and even dressing up. Lol. This is such a great channel man. I'm close to having enough saved up for a pair of $600 boots I've seen on your channel. That's twice as much as I usually spend for work boots but this is for just dress boots. Lol
Got the pull on version of this boot for $40 on clearance could not be happier for that price lmao
How do these compare to redback boots? I saw your review on those and your praise for them. I was wondering if these were better, worse, or even in the same playing field.
I'm here too because I ordered redbacks about 6 months ago and still don't have them and mine are starting to wear out. I need something before winter comes so I'm looking for alternatives and they sell these at boot barn but I haven't made it to one to check them out yet. I hope they are comparable to redbacks.
8:55 you know the boots are good when Wes sweats!
Another great video , looking forward to seeing your review on Thorogood.
After having taken apart the redbacks, which do you think is a better work boot in a construction setting?
Dropped a like just because of that title lol
Would love to see something like the haix airpower or one of the beefier blundstones
Carhartt? more like K-Mart!
Do you still prefer the red backs over these?
I had bad luck with ariats I’m trying out brunt work boots they are tough
Day 1 of asking him to test the leather of a birkin bag🤣🤣
Don't they make them in a wide range of leathers, including crazy stuff like ostrich?
That's why I love airet work boots. They lasted me two years on hard concert. And they stay comfortable.
Thanks for all your work!
Made in China, 140 dollars, might as well pay 40-60 dollars more for Red Wings or Thorogoods.
He nailed it! I can't criticize this video! I am just about to confer the title of 'Shoe Dog" to Rose Anvil. The direct attached construction is when two polymers (Polyol & Isocyanate) in liquid form are mixed and poured into a mold and they thermoset to the shape of the mold. Also, keep in mind, ALL Chelsea waterproof boots are waterproof ONLY to the lowest part of the Gore (elastic) line. Water will seep in if you stand in water above the lowest gore line. TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) has a very high abrasion and even that light skin which forms the outer sole shell will last a very long time. Drawback of TPU - the colder it gets, the harder the TPU gets and becomes very slippery. The Swenflex material will surprise it, it is very puncture resistant and made in Ontario, Canada. Please put a nail in a 2 by 4 and try to push the Swenflex thru it. You will see what I mean.
Great content. Looking forward to your next videos
Have you thought about cutting Wolverine boots in half? Just was curious about their 1000 Mile boots. I would also like to see a Sperry Top Sider review. Great videos!
Where would you put these against the redbacks? Are they more comfortable?
That would be hard to pull off (unlike redbacks) 😂
rossi vs redback
Chelsea work boot showdown! Let's see how they all stack up! 🤠👍
Are you going to review the Keen San Jose?
Hey, would you ever consider reviewing hiking/mountaineering boots? I think your knowledge of footwear & cutting them in half could provide some super helpful insights for the outdoor community. And great videos, I'm new to your channel but would love to see you be the Project Farm of footwear!
I was wondering if you've heard of Duckfeet shoes. They are from Denmark and do minimalist style boots. I was looking at the green Faborg personally. Maybe something for a video?
The most important thing that needs to be fixed is where they are made..
I can't find this Turbo Chelsea model on the UK website. Are these as comfortable as the redbacks?
doubtful
Is there a reason you don't do any reviews of Carolina boots?
Good video - they seem pretty good👌👍😎
150 is my price point. And this video is especially appreciated
I found your videos because I was looking at replacing the steel toe version of these boots and was considering the Blundstone construction boots. I stand for 8-14 hours a day and they still feel new comfort wise though the sole is very worn at this point. Thanks and can't wait to see more content!
I just don't trust those chinese boots.
As a carpenter who briefly worked in Redbacks, I’m here to tell you the puncture resistance matters. Walking on a job that was poorly maintained and suddenly felt a stabbing pain in my foot. Raised my foot and there’s a piece of plywood attached. Lovely. Insult to injury, these supposedly “tough” boots had air filled soles, so no they were flat and totally unusable. Forget Redbacks.
Could you do the 6” wolverine I-90 durashocks? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I have always been reluctant to use slip on work boots.
Handy if you're a welder.
@nick sweeney Depends on what part of the world you are in, they are the standard in Australia and the UK....
I'm a groundskeeper and have the same reservations. But every year our crew gets a stipend towards new boots, this year was notable when our boss and another guy picked up Ariat slip-on cowboy style work boots. Apparently after a couple of weeks when they're broken in, my coworkers swear that the foot doesn't slip around as much as during the initial try-on. I think fitting them in person also really helps, as some people are more comfortable with a half size down in Chelseas.
Now that Weston has reviewed this moderately priced pair, I'm pretty torn between these and the Thursday Chelseas for outside of work.
Pull on work boots have to be sized correctly for a pull on. When you first get a pull on boot you want it really snug and also true to size. You shouldn't buy pull on boots with any extra room...you want them tight. The first few weeks of break in will be a little rough, but man let me tell you. Once you get a set of pull ons that fit right broke in good, you won't go back. I made the switch 10yrs ago and don't miss tie ups one bit‼️
Love your content!
Keep it up
Too many great made in USA boots to buy made in China boots.
I’d like to see you cut into Thorogoods Thoroflex Chelsea Boot, I’m a big supporter of Thorogood but can’t find any reviews of their Chelsea Design!
Do you know if those Thoroflex are just as good if not better than these?
@@krispykremeking2329 I’m thinking about picking up a pair. I only wear Thorogood Moc toes and I love them. But I want a Chelsea to wear around the house
Can you make a video about your personal best work boots per price range? ($150, $200-$250ish, $500 range) Need new boots and there's way to many options
Can you review the Ariat recon moc toes. Love the channel
Yes we know you are a fan of Chelsea work boots as well as hairless cats.
How thick is the Leather on the upper? Is the internal heal guard stitched in the middle too? Would you consider these boots that could be resoled or are these disposable?
3:00 so...it's nubuck?
Also, could you make a video on the best valued steel toe workboot with EC protection?
Wondering when Wes is going to drop his Dis Track on Carhartt.
Timberland Pro, how much better is it than Premium?
Ga boot eagle one Chelsea review ? 🤷🏻♂️
Do some double h’s!!! Alot of their styles are made in the USA and they’re very well made imo
I second this.
I never knew I needed this channel! Trying to find the best work boots is tricky for chefs and now I feel like an expert. Thanks heaps
Did you end up purchasing these?
do gripfast boots!!!!
The safety toe version of this boot runs narrow in the toe box. Be sure to try before you buy.
Do the blundstone steel toe work boots
I work in kitchens & these are my preferred style of work shoes...Sooo much better than you traditional kitchen clogs
Hey man. Love the Videos. Very informative. Is there any chance you will be reviewing shoes made for motorcycling? I don’t like the aesthetics of pure motorcycle shoes but there are some hybrids. Would love to see what you got to say about them.
Looks a lot like red back boots from Australia 🇦🇺
Can you do the whites Perry moc toe?
Another great video ... Those Ariat might be what I was looking for, also... just hit me, how about a cowboy Tuesday or something like that? Broaden the viewers base wo loosing the current.
Carhartt punching the air rn
I'd like to see the Wolverine I-90 Romeo cut in half to compare with the Ariats. When I was looking for a romeo/chelsea I came down to these two boots and ended up going with the Wolverine because they felt more solid. The Wolverine have been great so far (on my feet 10-12 hours a day) but squeak quite a bit on some vinyl composite flooring...
This is night and day compared to that Carhartt ... thing.
The punture resistant midsole is certified to EN ISO 12568 standard (most sources state that it should actually be EN ISO 20345 : 2011 for safety boots?), wich means:
"The resistance to penetration of this footwear was tested in the laboratory using a blunt test nail of 4.5mm diameter and a force of 1100N."
These don't look like they have a toe cap, but if they did, it should be able to withstand 200J according to the same norm.
I think the most boot-for-the-money is to be had with cheaper certified safety boots. They must be pretty good quality (last about a year on the job site), must meet the sefety requirements and must be cheap in a very competitive market.
Comfort is a potential problem though... In Germany, the employer has to provide safety gear for employees who work in positions where it might be needed (there's a whole bunch of laws...). The naturally provide you with one of the cheaper boots out there and they were really uncomfortable... You always got stinky feet and there wasn't any support in the places where you would need it...
@@jonasholzem2909
I know the situation, I live in Germany and work(ed) as an Electrician.
Where I worked we had a yearly budget of ~100€ paid for by the firm for shoes wich we would then go buy ourselves, the other work clothes were provided.
I had different kinds of boots and shoes and the last few times bought Lemaitre Saxo S3. They wear like sneakers and are not terribly expensive (about 70€).
The really cheap safety boots for 20-30€ with steel toe and midsole etc. are not very comfortable of course. But even those are pretty good value (i.e. not very lage margins for the manufacturers) considering the materials and construction compared to many of the other very cheap kinds of shoes.
For what it's worth, my lace up $200 range ariats are the only boots that survived even three months (actually made it 9 still going) at the quarry. The continual cycle of full of water/saturated, cold, cover in lime is ruthless on leather, and they don't look new but they're still on my rack as my work boot, and can't get a new pair until they die.
I had sent you an email about a pair of Red Wing moc toes that I'd be willing to send you to do more experimenting on. Danners seem to be the only boot that fits me correctly.
Love Danners, I’ve used both their work line and plenty of the military side. They can keep taking my money lol
Same. Danner boots are baller.
I’m stuck between buying the Thursday boot explorer ($249) or the solovair derby ($220). Any recommends? Thursday is prob better construction but the aesthetic of solovair is more pleasing than the Thursday to me, not that the Thursday isn’t just I like the chunkier look for combat boots.
Why don’t you just buy a pair of real combat boots?
thursday imo!
@@jsk6390 if you know any in particular I’ll look into it
@@Kyle-uo5bg thanks man hard to argue against Thursday
could you do a Panama Jack video? I work in a generic shoe store where we sell them and I want to know if they are worth the pricetag
I'm unreasonably excited for the Thorogood dissection.
I actually had a pair of those Ariats and I loved them. Wore them everyday practically. The annoying part was finding out there was no way to fix the side elastics once they get fucked up.
Ariat won't replace them? I don't believe this is a resolable boot, either is it?
Been buying Ariat's for about 20 years. Nice to see what is under the hood.
You should cut open the Blundstone 600s. Apparently they're the upgrade for the 500s and better than the 650s that you've cut open already
Combat boots Danner , Rockys, Guarmonts, Belleville,Nike ,5.11 ,Under Armour
That wasn't TOASTER !!!? Did I miss an introduction?
Damn it. The smallest size they come in is a 7 and I need a size 6. Damn small ass feet.
AM waiting for my shoes..did paid for it..ARIAT..BEST SHOES.FOR MY AREA WHERE I DO WORK..
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do a review on Proxon or Oxford Steel (same company) Wallace (chelsea) style.. preferably in black.. PLEASE!
Something is seriously wrong with their steel toe cap they're using
Just found your channel Weston and you take boot quality serious. That is awesome! I have had 4 pairs of thorogoods over the last 15 years of being a construction electrician. They are great for being on a dirty job site. I have changed careers and now put lot of miles on my boots now so I switched to Ariat turbos. I have 2 pairs in the 6in work boot style. The first pair went a year before I wore a small hole through the leather of toe. The insole is shot too. I want to glue on a toe cap and make them my camping boots.
What would you recommend for leather care for these type boots?
