Part 1 Backpacking Boots by Nutnfancy

- In this series I cover key features of backpacking boot construction to help you in your purchase decision. I may have left some things out but I cover the important parts. I don't review specific boots and probably won't ever: models change frequently and it's just logistically impossible for me now. Using the info I provide here just give a good basis for getting the right heavy duty hiking boot.
** Please do not PM me with questions about specific boot models and what would be good for you. I apologize but I just don't have the time to research it for you.

I THOUGHT I remembered seeing a vid about hiking boots! Glad I went searching and found this series. As usual, VERY informative and really helps with making not only the right choices, but also (like with ANYTHING you review) helps your set aside money for the boot you'll actually buy. Your are your best asset in the outdoors...they should ALWAYS get the royal treatment...ESPECIALLY when you're in harsh conditions.
Thanks Nutn!
So, nutnfancy. I am an avid hiker, adventurer, and backpacker. I have hiked multiple long distance trails and have found some problems with the gear i use. I would like hiking gear than can double as tactical gear, like jackets with primaloft, goretex or other patented outdoor technologies. All of my hiking gear is brightly colored, but nice and durable, wicks moisture, doesnt smell after not being washed for long periods of time, etc. I want clothing and gear that is more functional in a tactical sense, is made for the elements, i.e. nlt made of cotton or out of date canvas, and has a bug out typephilosophy of use. Why dont companies like mountain hardware, or marmot make tactical clothing? It seems like they could do it better than the companies that do make it.
I remember when I had to buy my combats for field exersises when I was in the Cadets (as the seniors wore them) My boots that I happend to get were a couple sizes teo big. the first time out, my feet were in absoulute pain. But I tripple layered the Wool Socks to make them fit better and after that no problems. What surprised me was how water resistant they were. If I can find a another pair that is relitivly new in my size I woll pick them up rightaway as they are good in the snow.
This is the greatest government/fishing analogy I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Thank you sir, for your fine contribution to my life.
Best honest reviews online that I've found, one man opinions as stated but always based on personal experience, thanks Nutnfancy.
Yay, finally part one :D Waited to watch this until part one was finished uploading. Thanks Nutnfancy! Just what i was looking for actually.
Thank you soooo much for this video! I went out and bought $60 boots thinking they would do good in the snow because my other ones wore out. I had to come back down aced day 1 because they ripped but mostly because the material in side kept giving be blisters.
I got a pair of leather hiking boots that look alot like those. you all can laugh, but I payed 2 bucks for them at goodwill. THEY ROCK! waterproof, very comfortable, and rugged. I've punished them for 2 years and I'll prolly be wearing them for another 5 or more.
im gonna go get my self a good pair of boots here in a few hours just watchin some nutnfancys advice
what i always wanted to know is why my issue combat boots were (the old altima black leather ones) were so horrible in wear, on icy side walks, on muddy ground. I actually put staples at one point on the bottom so i could get to the chow hall without falling. (by the way the staples really did work!)
I used german Lowa's. They are almost bombproof, fit great and dont cost the earth.
Im not sure if you can get them in America but over here almost all of British Army wear Lowa's(well, atleast most of my battalion lol)
Very educational, thanks Nutn.
I'm sorta in the same boat. I wear something between a 9 and 9 1/2 and boot never fit me either. They'll always be too loose or too tight,
Try an Army surplus store. It worked for me.
-try on at a store (then order online if you want) , in evening when feet are more swollen, with the socks you plan to wear them with (-thin liner sock & thicker synthetic sock is a good system)
-comfortable toebox
-Heel grasps snugly (minimize heel slippage &-> blisters)
-boot will shorten in length
materials:
Full-grain Leather ("excellent - takes the wear")
Newbuck Leather (smooth suede-like)
Roughcut Leather- nutnfancy does not prefer
for my feet haix boots and shoes are best fitting. no problems waling with them the whole day. they are made of quite good quality so i think i will stick to them. but after all - as has been said already - anybody has to find out which shoe fits best to himself.
Review a Danner Boot...they always have the same line of boots available.
You gotta' pound the trail, and put some dust on your soul.
Very deep pun, Nutnfancy. Nice.
Great amount, of great info :) (if you still see posts from old vids like these) to make a short story even shorter, I am now the proud owner of a Brand New pair of Danner Desert Acadia Boots. Traded for em, and they fit me well, need to break em in as with all new boots (any suggestion on break in secrets?),do you know if or would you ask if, Nutn' has had any experience with this company, it's all new to me, but it seems the best quality I've dealt with since my old Red Wings.Thanks
Would you consider making a sandal video? or aireted shoe for camping?
what kind of tripod are you using?
@XCritonX I have no idea, but PUNISHER is blocked now. Carry on. -- Veri
Hi am can you make boot laces out of paracord and if so do thay last long.
@XCritonX etc, are all examples of these types of services. And while some people might think it's a good idea to remove the government's hand from their lives, I disagree. If your house is burning, do you want to fight it with only hoses and your neighbors help? Do you drive on paved roads? What can protect you from hostile nearby nations? Who should help when there is a hurricane?
This is not supposed to be sarcastic or mocking in any way. I simply wonder what your answers are to these issues
@twieneke76 Awesome comment, twieneke, thanks! -- Veri
If you're smart and don't get a size that's too big you can easily stretch a boot out for a custom fit. As should be done with all shoes, imho.
Hey nutnfancy why don't u use mink oil bro ...??? TNP
whenever i tend to buy something i always tend to check on what he has to say bout a product and it never made me stray from a good choice
Blundstone! Ask for them by name!
@TheGetintoit You may already know this, the answer is yes.(with 550 that is)
are mickey mouse boots best for winter
well said my friend...don't even know you and I like you all ready ;-)
wow, so it is actually possible to talk 10 minutes about a shoe.. I'm impressed
I have wide, flat, size 16s (?EUR 48ish), huge calves and ankles. My selection ability is ZERO. All I can find are cheapo boots sans support that bling and fall apart after break-in. None of the boots by any of the makers in this vid, make anything in my size at all.
I know SOMEONE makes boots for me. I had to parcel post the German Daytona factory, to get motorcycle boots because again, no American manufacturer/retailer had anything with the features I was looking for.
Little help guys? ^_^
@XCritonX Nah man I am not saying that. I am only stating that it is over-the-top and unrealistic to advocate super small or non governments.
While there is many policies, laws, etc that are highly debatable and questionable; I think there is too many government-provided services that citizens need and use every day to do away with government. Police, Firefighters, highways, quality standardization imposed on products, National Defense, consumer protection from big businesses, emergency aid,
Does anyone have experience with Matterhorn boots? (8 inch)
any man who can talk about boots for 10 minutes knows his shit :)
@XCritonX lol you said you are an anarchist... "I am an anarchist, however..." in your first comment.
Give a man fire, and you keep him warm for a day, set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.
light a man a fire he'll be warm for a day; light a man on fire he'll be warm for the rest of his life
haha your awesome! your so conservative, i love it
@XCritonX OR Teach a man to fish, impose no quotas and someone will overdo it and over fish the river and leave no fish for anyone else....Bummer.
Not everyone is responsible enough to be trusted.
Try these boots out you won't be disappointed. "Georgia" waterproof cc hiker work boot.$ 137.99 fullgrain leather, full steal shank, purchased@ Night Galexy. Free shipping. Try and find a better boot for the price. Won't happen. I have had several work boots made by Georgia , they make tough boots. Bridge carpenter, hard work plus walking on rebar will hurt your feet without the right boots.
a sock system?...i know, i know, there's probably a 'best' sock system out there...but seriously...needing a sock system?...stay in the city
Ifishmo light sock inside of a boot sock allows for movement not against your skin. Get blisters and learn for yourself.
+Ifishmo in TNP everything is a system :) your comment system i.e. seems a bit weak...
ik this was two years ago but i was serious. I had a nice pair of military surplus mickey mouse boots rated -20f. I wasnt trying to be funny.
rei supports clubs including the sierra clubs which are against hunting, ohv, and the nra. Nutn, lets try to keep REI out of the videos.
Hahah,nutnfancy says beewtz
