      out of curiosity, did you replace the insoles?
      I find they are top notch with a good insole and waxing (if you live in a wet climate as I do)

      @@taargustaargus3139 I did not actually, though it has been a thought! I want to wax them too, I took them to a festival and it rained for 2 days... definitely needed the water proofing, but the normal insoles did fine, tho definitely hard lol

      @@coopersand911 yeah haha. I went to an Oktoberfest and my feet got wet but not soaked. Basically the leather itself absorbed moisture.
      I have 2 pairs of ARs and 1 pair of steel toe razorbacks.
      The African rangers I only wax the Stichdown/welt but the steel toe razorbacks I was the entire thing.
      I find that a good foam and/or leather insoles does the trick.
      Nick's sells leather insoles if that's what one would prefer. And foam insoles can be found anywhere.

    I just saw the rose anvil video on the ranger boot being cut monday. Tuesday i ordered ranger boot. Wednesday i ordered vellies. And razor back. The vellies in size 12 brown suede were $62 on amazon. Ive paid 10x that for boots, that were of lesser quality. The construction of these is quite amazing. For the vellies i had a little heel slip. Adding a rexal arch support insole seemed to fix that issue quite well.

    I ordered mine half a size down from my uk sneaker size and they were perfect. After ordering, before they arrived, I was kind of concerned about the spend. Not because they're expensive. They're a total bargain of the century. Especially after watching this. No, I was concerned from a 'cost of living trend' kind of perspective and was ready to, maybe, return them for the slightest of reasons but after tying them on and walking around the house for a bit, I heard the following words coming out of my mouth: "These are pretty great".
    Among numerous other things, I love just how rough the rough-out leather is. I love the whole work-ready look over a usual desert boot, too. Glad I never went with something akin to a Clarks.
    Definite keepers, for sure!

    Seeing how much human care goes into those boots is both amazing and kind of scary... That's a lot of free-hand human intervention without guides or markers! Just eyeballing it square and center! I imagine that rejects are scrapped, or perhaps donated somewhere if they're not too bad... But I can only imagine how a new employee might mess up a boot accidentally!
