I wear this boot, and I have zero complaints. If your looking at this boot, and your on the fence, go ahead and pull the trigger on these. If you pass on this boot, you’re truly missing out on a great boot experience. This boot won’t let you down, it’s made the right way, in the USA, with a steel toe, steel shank, and Vibram logger outsole. The welting is outstanding, the leather is outstanding, it’s designed very well. It has only 2 major seams on it, and both seams are Puritan triple stitched. If your not familiar with the Puritan triple stitch, well I’ll tell you that it’s by far the strongest, most durable, longest lasting seam stitch in leather footwear possible. It’s not new technology either, it’s been around for a good while, like 100 years or so. It’s a long time trade secret, for making long lasting work footwear. Redwing, Thorogood, Chippewa, all use Puritan triple needle main seem stitching on their premium boots.
Nope, that's uncorrect. Vibram is an italian brand and the brand name comes from the founder's name Vitale Bramani. I'm italian and I'm sure it's not pronounced Vaibram. Still it's not something really important how someone pronounce it since you know what he was talking about
I'm looking to get the 804-3554 (insulated version) for home remodeling/construction work. Especially when you deal with fallen nails, splintered wood or metal/glass shards, it helps.
Why don’t you like waterproof lining? Hot feet? By the way I say Vibram exactly the same. It’s not important how things are pronounced as long as the information needed comes across.
My feet sweat in 10deg weather. So when I'm 200feet above the city and it 90+ deg out. I'm not comfortable. Unlined boots and wool socks are my daily driver. Now I do have exceptions to this and they are, if I'm doing outdoors stuff ( hunting, fishing or hiking) Gore Tex or a membrane is going to be on my feet. But daily as of this past month my Nick's wedge sole's and a pair of farm to feet hiking socks.
Thanks for the quick reply. I’m of the same mind; I get hot really quick especially when working so I don’t think I’d want lined work boots. But I do have hiking boots that are lined and that works well.
Is there a place to find direct comparisons between the various vibram logger soles. It seems more and more boots are coming with different "engineered" soles and im trying to figure out what the hell is the difference. I have vibram 360 on a pair of wolverine loggers, and think its killer- sooooo why would i want tacoma, or sierra, or whatever is on the bottom of this boot? Thx
I prefer unlined/not waterproof boots as well... Do you have any loggers you recommend that do not contain waterproof liners? I've had a hard time finding them.
I've got crazy wide feet. Had great luck with Georgia Boots "low-heel logger" boots. That being said, I just got a pair of these Thorogood loggers in the EEE width and they feel great too.
I purchased a Superlogger based on Boot Guy's review of it some time back. I kept thinking throughout this review that I have no reason to run out tomorrow to get a pair of these. Loggers are what Chippewa does really well, and I have several pairs of them. I've always felt Boot Guy was somewhat of a Thorogood fan moreso than Chippewa, so compare this video to the enthusiasm he had back when he reviewed the Superlogger. I think I'm going to stick with what I've got.
@@jeremyrob3928 I'm sorry to say Jeremy, but redwing hasn't made a decent logger or lineman's boot in a LONG LONG time. At one time they made an incredible product. But I'm constantly surfing boot sites, and was on Redwing's site not long back, and they don't have much made in the USA anymore. But that's not saying there Chinese boots are durable. Hell Ive ragged the hell out of China boots in the past that have been great for example Carolina boots....are great for the money. Anyhow getting long winded.....just my 2¢ on Redwing's. Last pair I bought back in the mid 90s were $400 & change. They of course dont make that linemans boot anymore.And after a year and a half the sole came off. So they really put a bad taste in my mouth. Take care....👍🏼
Im looking for a USA built logger boot but do not want a waterproof boot . I currently wear a Redwing Burnside boot and it has a waterproof liner in it and by 7am my feet are sweating even in the Chicago winters . Is there a logger boot out there that do not have a waterproof liner in it ? Thanks Chicago 597 Pipefitter
This was a hell of a schizophrenic review. One moment he saying how much he doesn't like the leather then the next he's saying the leather is beautiful. One moment he saying Thorogood made a mistake with the water proofing then the next he's saying the boot is perfect. Pick a side. It's ok to critique the items. They don't have to be great boots all the time.
Old world traditional built logger boot is a true logger boot. Just because it had a higher heel does not necessarily make it a logger. No true logger has a safety toe cap of ANY kind. Steel shank would never be wore if you’re use climbing spikes.
@Mafioso 1963 Well really all depends on what kinda money you want to spend. There's lots of quality ones on the market, that will last a long time with proper maintenance. For boots that can be custom made for you I like Nick's, Hoffman, Westco but your looking at a minimum of $300 a pair. But for a store bought boot at a bit cheaper price Chippewa and Carolina are not bad neither. For the Carolina boots I've only had one set of them and they were the steel toe Gore-Tex, vibrant sole ones. And for the price of about $200.00 they were damn good boots, even though they were made in China. I wore them EVERYDAY for 4 years being an electrician and working a farm. I just took good care of them with mink oil bout every 6 weeks or so and new laces every 4-5 months. The day I stopped wearing them they were still in decent shape, even though the tread was about clear gone. So it depends on lots of variables when it comes to a good heavy duty work boot, so no.....I can't tell you what the best is or my favorite is. I can tell you that Red Wing boots *SUCK* since I've only had bad luck with 3 pair of them. The older, say pre 95 the logger/lineman redwings were a damn decent boot. But there workmanship and pride went out the window. There's other boots on the market starting at the $150-200 range that I didn't mention that will also treat you right if you take care of them. Ok....that's my LONG winded reply lol !!!! 👍🏼😁👍🏼

All that steel gotta be heavy.. am I wrong?
I've worked at vibram u r pronouncing it correctly
Nope, that's uncorrect. Vibram is an italian brand and the brand name comes from the founder's name Vitale Bramani. I'm italian and I'm sure it's not pronounced Vaibram. Still it's not something really important how someone pronounce it since you know what he was talking about
Woooh i love this boots !! Very beautiful
As always excellent review 👍
I'm looking to get the 804-3554 (insulated version) for home remodeling/construction work. Especially when you deal with fallen nails, splintered wood or metal/glass shards, it helps.
I have this same boot and damnnnnnnnnn it fits nice and feel very comfortable.

Try Nick's Builder Pro
Is it the breathability that you dont like the water proofing.
I had an issue with liners too until I started powdering my feet in the morning
What glasses frames you got there bud? Like them alot!
Nice boots . What brand are those workpants
How are their sizes compared to Chippewas I really want to try a seta d I found them
Nice review. Good job..Do you know what they cost. Sorry if i missed that in the video. Thanks
What brand of pants are those?
Blaklader,it`s a Swedish company which make some real sturdy stuff...
Any mechanics using these boots?!
Hows the break in period in these? My last thorogoods (heritage i think) were almost broken in right out of the box!
Is there a particular brand you would recommend that has the widest toebox?
I've got crazy wide feet. Had great luck with Georgia Boots "low-heel logger" boots. That being said, I just got a pair of these Thorogood loggers in the EEE width and they feel great too.
I have had good luck with Georgia boots low and logger heel have plenty width.
Danner quarrys have the widest toe box I know of
GO PACKERS
What! Monster of the midway all the way!! Thanks for watching.
And fuck the bears
Is this boot astm approved?
Lol. Chicago baby!
repairdrive Da Bears!🤣😂🤣
Love the boots man and you are so handsome. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How would you compare it to a Chippewa Superlogger?
Good question. I was thinking along the same lines.
This is what i was wondering as well

Wow
Wrong twice. Impressive.

Justin Meyer plenty of guys I know that climb run steel shank lol
Nothing you said makes any sense.
