harry has one of the more realistic suggestions tbh. its actual clothes that actual people will want to buy/invest. thx alot. hope you have a good year waiting for you as well!
I have no fashion sense and little interest in fashion but there’s something about this beautiful British man talking about what I should wear that keeps me watching. Keep it up Harry!
I've had a pair of cognac brogue boots from vagabond since 2016 and they're still as good as new. the leather have developed this nice patina ... amazing
I just want to say your jokes are able to crack me up every single time without fail. And your videos are incredibly informative as well. I'm so happy to have found your channel- cant wait for the coming year (:
Just got a pair of Solovairs and they're fanastic. My dad thought they were Dr Martens (and looking like docs wasn't my end goal) but the style similarity is undeniable. If you like Docs but want something more sturdy for only slightly more money, Solovairs are the way to go.
@@TheBooban i have the jeff chelsea boot and i've stepped in some pretty deep puddles with no issues. The sole seems to be one solid piece of rubber and is glued to the leather
Vagabond is a great quality and the price is quite reasonable, I have the Jeff Chelsea for a year now and I am super happy with how good they keep doing even on wearing them in a continuous winter country like Norway 😂 happy new year Harry thank you for making us look better all the time 😊
Hey, looking to buy them. How chunky are they on foot? Like generally, not only the midsole. Do they follow the ankle nicely? Thank upfront for the reply… 🙂
I’ve had some red wing 875 and muleskinner iron rangers for a year and they’re both absolutely fantastic pairs, I’d strongly recommend them. If you’re not used to quality leather boots, they might seem expensive and you have to maintain em and break them in but it is SO worth it.
My Iron Ranger's are still not comfortable for longer usage. :( I'd rather switch to something with more padding. I still think Iron Rangers are great boots for motorcycle for example.
Those Ami boots are lush! I'm in the market for new combat boots so I'll be keeping an eye on those for sure. Love my Red Wings but it's a tough break in period. Happy New Year bro!
Found your videos recently but love that you don’t waste time to getting to the products. Hate when other channels waffle on just to hit the 10 min mark…
I think redwing Moc toes are the best boots for everything. Can work and relax in them. Also the wedge sole makes them feel more like a sneaker on the foot then boot.
Awesome selection. Was especially interested in hearing about the Solovair boots, as I was looking at getting a pair of dr martens but they don’t do a 8.5 size and found them incredibly uncomfortable in the size 8. And to hear the Solovair are better quality and made in the uk, is a win/win.Thank you.
As a boots obsessive this is a great way to kick off 2023 hahaha. I’ve kinda had my eye on the redwing pair for a bit so 2023 might be when I pull the trigger. Surprised at the lack of docs tho. I know they are not exactly ‘buy for life’ quality anymore but in terms of looks they are still timeless and super versatile. I’d also recommend Blundstones.
Just picked up a pair of redwing iron rangers. My dad has had his pair of classic Mocs for 15 years and they are still going strong, my uncle has had his pair for even longer! Well worth the cost imo. He’s had them resoled a few times and keeps good care of the leather and they look as good as a new pair.
Anything from Redwing and Thursday boots will cover most needs with high quality leather and ability to resole them down the road...good investment pieces that will last years if you take care of them
I’ve never worn boots but feel like it’s time to step out of the comfort zone. Can’t decide if military style or Chelsea’s are the best to start with. Thanks for the recommendations.
Your English is clear and pleasant - is your pronunciation what I've read is called received or BBC? I'm disappointed you didn't clarify why you felt Redwing were ugly and how this changed. I hoped you would treat various Jodhpur interpretations. Just recently I've been curious about Ariat paddock boots with front zipper which promise warmth and to be waterproof?
as for hiking /work boots , i find grisport are really good and cheap , from 50-100eu , made in italy got a paire ware them for 5 years everyday still look good ,
would you do a video on outfit ideas for how to style all these types of boots? it would be a really helpful and interesting follow-up video to this one!
nice video Harry, and happy new year! Would you mind doing a "the best smart/casual shoes" kind of video? An example would be a lugged-soled derby shoe, smart but the lugged sole and chunkiness give it versatility.
I want to buy an "entry" pair of boots since i haven't had one yet and my question is: What are you going to recommend for a teenager and what i mean is if i should go with combat boots, chelsea, if i should go with suade or normal leather,colors, etc.?
I'd say that Vagabond boots are quite amazing for the price, but the one major problem I've had with them is that they're often quite on the heavy side...
Recently just purchased a pair of boot from zara x studio nicholson collection, i reckon it's a not so pricey start into boots. Also, i think the Eytys michigan boots look interesting, robust.
I do have a pair of vagabonds oddly enough. I've owned them for about 3 years and hold up so much better than expected. Too bad its construction is only cemented, but it is expeted given the price.
I have two pairs of Thursdays. a pair of captains and dukes. Both suede pairs. If you get a good pair, then they're nice for the price. But their QC can leave a bit to be desired. My captains are nice, The dukes came with scuffed suede and a decent sized scuff on the leather welt. That being said, they offered a partial refund so I'm just going to live with them, rather than trying to get a perfect pair. Can't notice the flaws on feet and they're just going to get worn over the years anyways. I might buy a pair of their sneakers one day, but I'm not sure if I'd buy another pair of boots from them to be honest. Don't be fooled by their marketing, they're $200 boots at the end of the day. You're not going to get Grant Stone/AE/Alden quality.
I’m not a boot guy at all but I like the Diemme and Danner ones alot tbh, those we’re my favorites of the bunch. Happy new year bro! Keep it up! Peace ✌🏽
new sub here, i can listen to you all day. Lol no homo. i think i enjoy it because it feels like all in one take. it doesn't have much cuts while you're speaking.
I'm wondering whats the general opinion on Ecco shoes? There are some gorgeous classic chelsea boots right now in their stores. I feel they are comfy and affordable, but are never mentioned
…rockin’ a proper pair of boots shows a level of cool and a certain bad-assery. May it be a rugged pair of combat boots or a sleek Chelsea or a leather Engineer’s boot in British Tan. Personally, my choice is usually the good ole Cowboy Boots. QUESTION: What’s with the mighty thick soles? It sure reminds me of Olive Oyl from Popeye.
I've been on the fence about Viron boots for a while. I love combat boots and workwear boots. One because I just think they look good, the other because I've worked on sites and construction before! Lol. Lots of black recs in this video, it's to be expected I think but funny to me personally, they are the easiest colour to match I suppose! I love brown boots or boots with lighter shades of leather or in the case of Viron, apple waste and recycled Evian bottles! Ha ha ha. Red wings take the biscuits for me personally though. They are fantastic boots. I bought Thorogoods when I started looking into boots(still going strong after 4 years) and they are fantastic boots but Red wing are a step above for me. The dream boot is a Red wing Harvester but they were unfortunately a limited EU only run and there's no sign of them coming back.
Great video as always. I can say to does who are interested in the Axel Arigato chelsea boots. I ordered them, they look great on the photos but they don’t show a good picture from above. This is just my opinion in taste but in real life the front/toe are are really large compared with the back. So they looked a little bit like a clown shoe for my taste. You don’t get that sense when you just look at the images. But otherwise they look great.
Great video. I love the perspective coming from a style standpoint (as opposed to something like Weston over at Rose Anvil, from a materials standpoint). I have 2 pairs of Red Wing moc toes and they're great. I'm probably in the minority here, but I don't like boots with zippers. Happy New Year, Harry!
I've had a few pairs of Vagabond and they are all really comfortable and with good quality. Based on my on experience Vagabond lasts much longer than doc martins.
I owned a pair of Vagabonds - Alex M Chelsea Boots and i can say the quality isn´t quite there. I had them for not more then 6 month and the inner lining on the heal is allready in a really bad shape on both boots. The lining is made of some really thin textile material. Other than that they held up good. but thats a big no go for me.
harry has one of the more realistic suggestions tbh. its actual clothes that actual people will want to buy/invest. thx alot. hope you have a good year waiting for you as well!
Thank you very much. Happy new year
You mean you don’t want Tabi boots?…

I own the Vagabond Jeff, and they're great. Size runs normal for me with maybe a little more room in the toebox. Definitely would recommend.
Thanks for letting me know mate
Can you step in puddles? My Vagabond soaks in water. Not through the leather. Through the _soles_. Never had a shoe do that.
@@TheBooban i have the jeff chelsea boot and i've stepped in some pretty deep puddles with no issues. The sole seems to be one solid piece of rubber and is glued to the leather
@@TheBooban Not really for my boot. Might be bad stitching. A cobbler could check that out for you.
@@TheBoobanwhich vagabonds do you own?

Would it be okay to wear boots even without having a motorbike? Im at an age where I want to try boots for a change in style...
@@joshseus1572I don’t have a motorbike and I wouldn’t know know what to do with it even if I had one hahaha. So yes 100% go for it. Boots are awesome

Solovair also makes a really nice affordable hiking boot, called the "Urban Hiker".
Thanks mate. You too 🙏
I thought i would see a pair of RM Williams. They're pretty comfortable and durable as well in my opinion. The most underated chelsea boots
No Blundstone? Strange, it is the best boots i ever owned. Comfortable, waterproof, chelsea design, universal. Check it out.
This video pops up in my feed right in my time of need.
I hope you enjoy it. There is a boot with your name on it
Happy new year bro!
To you too bro. Hope you had a good one
Anything from Redwing and Thursday boots will cover most needs with high quality leather and ability to resole them down the road...good investment pieces that will last years if you take care of them
For combat boots I've had my eye on a brand called Untamed Street. Their Sloanne model looks so slick.
I’ve never worn boots but feel like it’s time to step out of the comfort zone. Can’t decide if military style or Chelsea’s are the best to start with. Thanks for the recommendations.
Fracap hiking boots are amazing quality!
I bought the Viron boots after your video about a year ago. Great shoes 😎
I love the touch of personality you bring to each one of your suggestions Harry. Love the content. Love the channel. Keep going. 🖤
Great. video! Quick question, what are the boots on 0:14-15 sec on your video? Thanks!
Your English is clear and pleasant -
is your pronunciation what I've read is called received or BBC?
I'm disappointed you didn't clarify why you felt Redwing were ugly and how this changed.
I hoped you would treat various Jodhpur interpretations.
Just recently I've been curious about Ariat paddock boots with front zipper which promise warmth and to be waterproof?
what are the boots in the thumbnail?
wow those Viron boots are gorgeous
I feel so lost when shopping for boots but that video helps a lot. Thanks.
Pleased to hear. Thanks for watching
Ah! I actually just bought a pair of Vagabonds James boots this weekend 😅 they fit like a glove. Definitely recommend sizing down!
Thanks for letting us know
Yo mind if i ask whether you have narrow or wide feet?
@@Zerhiral Wide! :-)
@@stefanoury6477 ty bro
Any recommendations for boots under £100?
Love the red wing boots
Recently got a pair of Lanx 'Tasker Coach' boots from Manchester. Great quality and look, very cool and comfortable boots.
what were the trousers you had on whilst wearing virons?
I need a pair of boots I can wear everyday...I'll definitely watch this video again. Happy New Year!
Happy new year mate
Please make a video about how you take care of your hair. It looks amazing
"I seriously don't wanna be kicked by one of these“ had me rolling harry a mad man😂
Redback boots are worth a look as well! Can be styled quite well and tough as nails!
Jerry, quiero dos pares, uno negro y otro marrón. Son muy bonitas, me encantan.

nice video Harry, and happy new year! Would you mind doing a "the best smart/casual shoes" kind of video? An example would be a lugged-soled derby shoe, smart but the lugged sole and chunkiness give it versatility.

How do we feel about Blundstone Chelsea boot? I live in the PNW (US) and I feel like everyone out here wears them.

This might come as a suprise, but all these suggestions were very VERSATILE.
For combat boots I'd go with the Solovairs. Plus they come in half sizes unlike Dr Martens. For a smarter boot I love Our Legacy.
