Reviews of high quality workwear, boots, and clothing for men to help you own better and own less. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well and allows you to own less and own better.

Could've used this 2 days ago luckily ended up with a good pair thankfully

I custom ordered Jim Green AR8's steel toe. Took a bit to break-in but worth it!!

I’m a Garbage man on the South Side of Chicago. I just purchased a pair of White’s Millwood with the Hybrid sole for the extra traction in the Ally’s. I have to say I’m impressed. For me it’s all about the sole. I’m pretty rough on them.

I truly pray that the apprentice browsing YouTube for boot reviews or boot brands sees this and absorbs all the information. This is the best boot comparison video I’ve ever seen. I’m a journeyman union carpenter and have worn thorogood for going on 15 years but I started with wolverine. The brands like wolverine and Georgia as starter boots for people just getting in the trade is often overlooked by bigger companies like red wing and so on. Good video my man, you killed it!

Nick's builder pro boots and Darn Tough socks works for me. It was a long break-in but now I love them.

I think you pretty much nailed it here! My last pair of work boots were Viberg’s and I got just short of 7 years out of them. I had them re-sole 2 or maybe 3 times and I might have gotten a few more years out of them, but I neglected to maintain them in the last year and the Vamps developed cracks. I wanted to have them rebuilt, but the wait time was at least 6 months 😮. Viberg has apparently switched their focus to fashion boots and I’m told that is the reason for the long wait times for rebuilds. Nick’s had a pair of 16” steel toe Lineman boots ready to ship so I grabbed those. I’ve had them two years now, and they’re awesome.

Started watching this because my feet are truly killing me with every step. I work in a factory as a forming operator. I weigh 300 lbs too so that doesn't help. The boots i had were cheap and have been worn for 2 years. Thanks for the vid, this will help me a lot.

Great list! I have been wearing my Georgia boots at work for abour 3 years now and love them, easily the best pair of steel toe boots I have owned. I did purchase some Florsheim boots over the holidays for work (I had no idea they made safety shoes and boots) and while they comfortable (like walking on the moon) they fit very strange imo. Always love your videos and insights!

[thunderusnight]

Carl I love the videos. I just wore down the cheap insoles in a pair of boots I have, I was wondering if you could make a video on insoles for work boots as they're very important. I see a lot of advertising and a lot of opinions but it's hard to tell what will actually last and perform well at a reasonable price. Thanks!

Like JK out of Spokane Washington, with Darn Tough socks... This was my go to for not work but I was a Outdoorsman and survivalist who was always out in the woods... Their bison leather is top notch in my book.... but I can't afford them anymore and my last pair was stolen 😢.. Thusly, I'm here seeing what is out there.... Thanks for your time and the video ✌️

[keithfortson]

I have worn Keen’s for the last ten years. They are comfortable on day one. You are right about the socks. I wear wool socks all year long.

[edwinmondragon]

I picked up a pair of Nike desert boots a few months an dhave fallen in love with them. They are the most comfortable boot I have owned in a long time and my performance on the farm in them is insane.

[repaircollc]

Nicks builder pros are the best boots I have ever worn. There is nothing like the pacific northwest quality. They are worth the money and the wait every time. Once again Carl you made it as clear as possible.

[davebrune]

I'm a power plant operator for the last 25 years I swapped between 3 pairs of White's two smoke jumpers and a packer style..only three pairs for two and a half decades is hard to beat. Great video.

[rakeshkapoor]

Have you reviewed the Caterpillar Second Shift ST? Very keen to see it, if you have. Keep it up 👍

[UltimateToolReviews]

Great video! So many brands of boots, it's hard to keep track!

[TheGunDude]

The quality of your videos has gotten incredible!! Better camera, mic, editing and background and content. Overall 10/10 🎉
