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.

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.

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.

[michaellk]

I'd love moctober again! But with worn in pairs to see which have held up best.

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.

These long form videos are great. I understand why they might not make sense for the main channel, but it's great to see you go in depth. Keep them coming!

Would love to see a video about motorcycle boots. Getting back into motorcycling and having a hard time deciding between buying quality leather boots with no actual crash protection (like Nick’s) and motorcycle specific boots with crash protection which are often not great quality.

[larryjimbob]

Would be cool if you went more into the history of styles of footwear and the companies behind them on this second channel. Maybe looking at the processes more in depth too? 😊🙏

[dominicteresi]

Love the channel but I would say that for an ironworker moc toe wedge sole is absolutely essential. Having even a slightly wider footprint make a huge difference in how you balance across the iron

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.

[jeremycorvialis]

I love understanding the 'why', so this kind of video is great content in my book.

[Dominari]

Got the Thorogood mocs after watching a few of your videos and absolutely love them, super comfortable and look good 👌

[sailcat]

I like the idea of a separate channel in which you go deeper into detail about boots, their construction, materials, and quality control. I am looking forward to seeing more on your new channel! Good luck!

[golfboy]

This is a great video. Many people might not have any knowledge about boots, shoes, or leather. And thus is a great way to educate the masses.

[Jhammie]

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

[willjenkins]

I have been watching your channels for secession years. I really enjoy your channels. Thank you.

[Melo_EL]

Love this channel! Love this style of content! TBH, u could post a vid of toaster using the litterbox and I'd watch that too, lol!

Purchased a pair of White’s mock toe for myself and my brother after watching year 1 and 2 of Moctober — let ‘em know you’re doing God’s work

[cedricboivin]

I have said it and I will say it again, this channel is the best
