      What do u think of the Ecco moc toe?

  • @drudgenemo7030
    @drudgenemo7030 2 роки тому +85

    Basically the wedge sole for ironworkers is so you don't get the heel suddenly dropping off the beam(or even the bolts sticking up on a connection)you're standing on while a few hundred feet up.
    Could be a bit problematic. While it may be a bit over hyped, it will probably only take one close bobble to for you to swear off heeled boots permanently.
    Personally I prefer heeled Wellington style(no laces to catch and a nice heel for hanging on walls), but I'm generally in the rod patch as opposed to walking the steel, though I do that as well and never felt the need to go with a different boot
    Good video.
    One more point on moc toes for work boot.
    When welding and burning, slag can catch on the stitched toe box and sit smoldering on the leather where on a regular boot, the slag just rolls off the side of the boot.
    My $.02

      Dropping an inch you didn't expect when at height is something you wouldn't understand unless you've been there.

      3rd gen Ironworker here. Always wore diehards with the wedge sole. Later I got on the otherside of the hook and as a crane operator, the boots last alot longer with the hydraulic oil all over them plus the miles of walking on concrete and asphalt or dancing through rod patches and trips up and down columns and out on fields of bar joists- don't happen to my boots anymore. Now its chauffeur trips from the parking lots to the cranes and back

    Just a suggestion: You’ve covered the moccasins for MOctober so why not do a loafer series? Sperry Top-Siders, penny loafers, and even Gucci bit loafers. There’s history and a spectrum of similar shoes at different price points. Thanks for all your great series you’ve already made. Keep ‘em coming.

    OG work boot. I started with Sears Diehard as an apprentice. That's what started the trend in the westcoast.Soles were 100% covered. Didn't pay for any boots for a while with that warranty. They were good back in the day. And classic looking.

    Had I known rose anvil 2 was gonna be like this, I wouldn't have waited soo long. 3 months late but still blowing up. I remember when his first channel started and now hes got a second. My man. Keep it rolling brotha. Still one of the best to do it

    Glad to see Russell moccasin boot in this comparison, looking forward to full review!
    At 14:00 information is incorrect, Russell moccasin toe is one piece wrapped over the top of the upper. This way stitch goes thru 3 layers, one time thru upper and twice thru top piece.

  • @dominicteresi3835

      As a welder with big and wide feet. (15, 4e in shoes) it's nice that the moc toe boots run a size smaller and I can fit into a 2e just fine! But the ones I've found to be the best for me are the redwing the traction tred ones. 2440

    That's cool you busted out the Russell mocs. They are my go to for dove and quail season. I can walk 10 miles through Prarie grass, and agricultural land and stay comfortable all day. It would be cool if you did a video about Russell boots. I'm sure it sucks butchering a $600 pair of boots, but it's for the fans...lol

  • @wompa70
    @wompa70 2 роки тому +3

    My favorite pair of shoes are a moc toe slip on by Clarks. They look a lot like boat shoes. They’re probably three years old. Fit like a glove. One of the most comfortable pair of shoes I’ve ever owned.

    Im watching this on my phone while resting it on a moc toe boot, working on making my first moccasin boot by hand, saddle stitching everything. Veg tan insole and internal counter cover, veg tan outsole under the moccasin construction.

  • @caleblatreille8224
    @caleblatreille8224 2 роки тому +2

    I love that you started this off with your old house slippers, and would actually love to see some of those moc-toes in a future Moctober. Boat shoes, deck shoes, and driving shoes are a small part of the footwear world but the construction is so simple that brands really can't hide anything, and I'd love to see you compare those leathers. Great work as always, love this new channel so far!

    Watching my second Moctober, the whole channel is a great tool. Just got my first pair of moc toes. Searched for "seconds" as another video suggested.
    Got them last night. Timberland American Craft, freaking amazing at $125. Horween nubuck, Goodyear welt, Vibram sole, leather footbed, American made. I'm stunned at these boots.
    Thanks for the knowledge bombs.

    It's just compulsive viewing - I really dig both channels. I don't even own any footwear that isn't trainers (sneakers), but the video's showing the construction of sneakers and boots is brilliant, just thinking about what goes in to the things you stick on your feet every day, there's so much detail and knowledge and consideration - now I want to try out some boots and see how they go - as I've not worn shoes every day for a long time now. Love it. 👍

  • @patrickcronin6829
    @patrickcronin6829 2 роки тому +1

    I must be a part of the one percent. I wear them because of the wide toe box and the comfort of the wedge sole and only wear the ones that have a shank for more solidity. I have knee problems and wide feet. I pretty much watch your channel for moctober and to find alternatives for the old Sears Diehard boots/shoes I used for years.

    I see a pair of Russell's in my future 👀

    i have some sts 11572 Sperry topsider, moctoes.. the shoe box is so thin, but the construction (thank you SIRE) ir aparently good.. there is defnitly a shank, two part moctoe, all leather, i used my lighter all over them for 5 seconds, didn't even star to turn dark.. but the toe box is just not comfortable.. :(
    i couldn't find them online. they costed just about 150EUR and this is why i am amazed by the construction.

      Only two models are made on Munson last, Minimalist Thula Thula (ones used in this video, I believe) and Mimimalist Country Squire Signature South 40 Birdshooter. He did show Munson last when talking about White's boots so it could be that he is working on moccasin project with Russell 😉

  • @janerkenbrack3373
    @janerkenbrack3373 2 роки тому

    As I commented on the other channel, the moc toe stitching helps hold structure and keeps the toe from collapsing. If it is just shaped leather it will flatten out. Something must be done to hold that shape, whether it is a cap, shaped liner, or sewn. Not a true moccasin, as you showed, but not merely for cosmetic purposes.

    I honestly just started buying thorogood moctoe for work just cause they looked cooler than a plain toe. I'm not even sure where I got my first pair of boots when I started working in the trades but I always did construction type work before that. Once I got in the trades tho is when I got turned on to Thorogood and I been buying them for probably 9 or more years.

  • @matthewreid5098
    @matthewreid5098 2 роки тому

    I have a pair of Thorogood steel toe boots that I had to retire after 7 months worth of work because the pain was debilitating. The edge of my pinky toes always felt like there was a pressure point and I even ordered the wide boot (EE). I tried to like them and hoped it would just break in and break down but wasn’t the case. I would send them in to y’all if you wanted to cut them in half to see what the breakdown in design was and what to look for to help others so they don’t make the same mistake as I did.

    • @ObelixCMM
      @ObelixCMM 2 роки тому +1

      Steel toe cup is same for all widths in that size and sometimes if they really cheap multiple sizes, so buying wider shoes does not help in your case. Carolina and Keen have some nice wide steel toe cups, not sure if they offer them on moc toes.

    Sadly, the all-time king of moc toe boots seems to be gone. The OG Red Wing Irish Setter Sport Boot was a true moccasin with a one-piece side like that three-piece boot. They were divine.
    The newer Wingshooter is close and I'd love to see you cut a pair.

      @lexbustamante757 2 роки тому

      I got a pair of the new version( Irish Setter) feel great on feet and no break in time, there is a reason for it, plastic welt and cardboard soil. I got those when I knew nothing about boots. Now I would not even look at them, educated myself and have whites 8" moc toe, and iron rangers to switch out so they can breathe. Maybe if at all possible I might have them redone properly.
