I have all the styles you covered but I also think every guy needs an "actual work" boot that you can dig fence post holes in. In addition, if you live in a large part of the western USA, you need a decent pair of cowboy boots.

Thank you!

Great list dan collaboration with Stridewise, Brock!

I love a comfortable wedge sole and rugged pair of service boots for casual and a sleek leather Chukka for Semi Formal, growing up I used Doc Martens and Timberlands boots, now I use Redwings, Grant Stones and Allen Edmonds. Great video enjoy watch both of your channels! Thanks

Really am liking these collaborations.

I'd argue the 5 everyone should have in order are: 1-2. Actual workbooks and a hiking/outdoor boot. 3. A Chelsea or more formal boot (Johdhpur etc.) 4. A chukka 5. A boot to wear with jeans ie. those discussed in your first 2 choices. As a Canadian, I greatly enjoyed the Viberg shoutout. Regarding Viberg tho, I'd add that I owned a pair of semi-custom Rigger boots from them that cost about CAD $600ish a few years ago. These were lace to toe 7oz full grain triple stitched, Norwegian welted with nailed heals (the custom part) and 9oz iron leather insoles and counters. Viberg makes amazingly good products by hand but when their most robust field/work boot is $400 less than a casual day-wear boot, one should consider what exactly they are paying for. The same could be said about RM Williams and their ever climbing price since LVMM -and many others - involvement. (I own a pair and adore them also)

I cuncur, however I say work work boot and hiking boot should be different categories My 5 is 1. Service/heritage 2. Work boot 3. Chelsea 4. Chukka/Desert Boots, Wallabys 5. Hiking I based this list on the amount I wear these boots, I also have "fun boots" in most of these styles especially my work boots, comes in handy when someone is sent to find "the guy in the neon green, bright red, or yellow boots". However if I had to choose one it would probably be a Chelsea.

RM Williams is a must have..... another great collaboration gents....

Great video. A nice well-round selections

I think it's time for you to get a fun boot brock! the green one is gorgeous

I'll add support for a good dress boot, but it probably depends a lot on climate. Where I live with quite a bit of snow during the winter, having an actual boot is a must, and a dress boot or two in the collection is a must!

I can't stress enough how much it's important to invest in high quality shoes. I never paid much attention because shoes are small when it comes to other clothes and I thought they are often overlooked since they are on your feet. Boy, how I was wrong. I saved around 250 dollars and went to local shoemaker. After 3 years of daily wear and only a bit of care plus shoetrees they still look new and they look like they are worth million bucks! I get so many compliments on them.

I love a good boot, I own several you have mentioned. Always get compliments when I wear my “Fun Boot” which is my Truman Gaucho Moose Cap Toe boot. It looks like elephant skin, and super comfortable.

I love the look of those Allen - Spruce Kudu boots. Khaki is one of my favourite colours for clothing, so the colouring on these boots are right up my alley.

Two of my fav stylish gents! Definitely love my moc toe, service and chukka boots. Still need a Chelsea!

Thank god you put the RMs in there - it would have been un-Australian not to lol! Nice video guys!

For me, You will never go wrong with a pair of Saint Laurent Wyatt Chelsea boots in black. Yes it’s expensive but personally the quality and style is fantastic.

Just picked up Ranch Road's service boots for 50% off in their warehouse sale! Can't wait to break them in.

great video, also check out DECON Chelsea boot from Norman Vilalta, a lace up Chelsea boot

That’s right bois you NEED these !

I wonder why boots from a brand called FromTheFirst aren't mentioned anywhere. To me they're the best quality and offer some unique silluettes (tall chelseas, wyatts, animal print, etc.). I've been wearing their Enzo model for the past year everyday. I have to say that Im in love. I'd love to see them being mensioned on the channel

I only own one pair of boots, but when I leave Alaska and actually live in a bigger city I would like to own more pairs for my own sake.

The patagonia wild idea boots are the best work/service boots I've ever owned.

There's also safari boots from Kenya🇰🇪,just love them... absolutely comfortable!.

TheModestMan can you please tell us what the brand of the jacket, maybe a link of the product? Congrats for the video !

For the ultimate Service boot, look to the William Lennon B5 WW1 spec boot. Wm. Lennon made them during WW1 to the original MOD spec, and they can make them now, to the original MOD spec, using the original lasts & press cutters. Just be aware, the original specification featured hobnails & iron "horseshoe" heel finishers, so they aren't the most practical boots in the modern city environment - but Lennons will build with alternate sole types if you ask... That they are the last manufacturers of "Derby" style boots to be based in Derby(shire) just adds a little to the company's usp. Sensible pricing too - sub $300 for a UK made heavy-duty all leather boot is no bad deal...

Awesome video! Thanks you both! I'm going to be a counselor in a camp upstate NY this summer.. can you please recommend me what boot you think will work great as an everyday? (Not for sports obviously). I'm considering Redbacks, whites mocto and also thorogood mocto boots. Any specific pair you can recommend me? Any other pair under 250-300$ that is well worth it? I'm trying to figure out the difference between how a mocto, a redback "work boot" or an outdoor hiking boot will feel wearing everyday.

Red Wings!

OK Nick, I challenge you to do a top 5 Old Man Boot episode. A lot of those boots just don't seem to be a look the geezers like myself would wear. Service boots? Hell yes. Moc Toes? Yes, they are the ultimate old man work boot. Logger boots, cowboy boots, lineman boots, combat boots, you get the idea.

Hey Brock, I was eyeing a pair of Oliver cabell boots last year and have been looking for them for a few weeks. I can’t find boots from Oliver cabell anywhere. Do you know if they stopped making boots or if they only offer them seasonally?

Do this for guys in the trades!

I find gray chelsea boots as a great finding. Btw you make me think of Ben Stiller but if he was better looking ^^

I have Red Wing. They are the best shoes.

When can we expect a review on the Red Wing Classic Chelsea?

6:10 Funny that you reference the Tetbury, and then at the end mention that boots don't really go with Suits. The entire opening sequence of James Bond Skyfall (the bike chase that ends up on the train roof) has Bond wearing C&J Tetburys with a Grey (Tom Ford) suit. If its good enough for Bond then its good enough for me 😉😉

The Beatles did popularize Chelsea boots. People across the US called them Beatle’s Boots.

Can you recommend a brand for service boot that has wider toe box please ?

Also get a pair of Timbs. Just get a pair their iconic your gonna look great in them.

Yanko is an excellent brand. Just a little more then Thursday, but great quality .

What shirt is nick wearing?! Really nice

For me Grant Stone has the best balance for affordability and quality. Chukkas in general with shorts I don't think would be good, the Clarks Desert boot go better with shorts.

I agree with most of what you said minus the moc toe ! The only style I don't have! ( Don't care for )

I'm more in to the streamline shapes, therefore I wouldn't necessarily go for a Mock's-Toe. They verge on the cartoonish. Spit-toes are pretty funky. I love all these varieties though.Good list.

I like the Balmoral Boots

Which service boots is that on the far right of the screen?

Working in a trade, I just don't see Red Wing moc toe boots as casual boots. They are work boots. And they seem odd anytime I see them trying to be dressed up.

Crockett and Jones, Trickers and Ian Harold, better than RM Williams are the best boots a man can get. I owned 50 pairs at one point, now down to around 20 pairs after moving and downsizing. Another I'd highly recommend is Solovair, they used to make Doc Martin's, I've been to there factory in Nottinghamshire, England although not my thing.

How about a western boot?! 🤠

Anyone knows a good store for boots in San Diego?

The Red Wing Merchant qualifies as a service boot due to the slimmer silhouette.

Yeah, the Aussie suit-and-Chelsea look is an odd one. If you have a slimmer trouser, it's obvious you're not wearing lace-up shoes, and there is always the risk of the trouser leg catching on the back of the boot, which is not a good look. RMWs are seen as the premier Chelsea, but there's just something about them that I don't like. They're synonymous with rich pricks, which is possibly the origin of the phrase 'Collins Street cowboy' after their flagship store on Collins Street in Melbourne. No doubt they're very well made boots, though.

I gave up on boots, I got 2 allen edmonds, Wolverine 1000 the worst one, timberland, clarks, all very uncomfortable, cannot walk for too long

It is hard to say what my favorite is. Probably for casual wear, the Allen Edmonds Higgins Mill, which I guess is a service boot. For all around, I would say the Chukka, since it is so easy to get on and off. I have a pair in black and a pair in dark brown, but probably the brown is my favorite. they go with almost everything in fall through early spring from a suit, jacket and tie, sweater and corduroy, to jeans. They shine up really nice so they look not unlike a plain toe blucher. I still don't have a moc toe, but I do have a split toe boot.

I don't have 2k to spend on boots. What a good boot to do it all?

Grant Stone Diesel boot, Parkhurst or one of the Indonesian makers if you can get a hold of them

Nice collection. You forgot the Doc Martens Jadon boot though. super comfy and nice style

What is the main feature of the “service” boot is the type of the counter... the triple stitching, nothing to do with slim silhouette... the fact that most of models today use the boondocker pattern, doesn’t mean that is a definition, the ww1 model was more slim, the ww2 is basically a chunk version of IR... but still , same pattern.. Btw, I never saw, any , single picture of miners or workers using 6 inch boots with that type of counter reinforcement... even in the IR RW page with the “bla bla” coal miners, the catalogue shows a boot w pattern that is a beckman... the only boot they did in that time that looks like IR is the skytrooper... so, we shouldn’t take ads from companies for granted...

Cowboy boots? As a fun boot? Luchesse?

I only wear fun boots. 😂

Too bad, in my country (Indonesia), boots are neither common and affordable.

I noticed there was no actual work boot, like my job site boots.

You guys forgot about the Cowboy boot... trust me, is a must, especially here in Texas. I have worn every single boot out there and the cowboy boots comes at top every time in terms of comfort, protection, durability, aesthetics (If you are a Texan or live in a country type of environment I supposed)... I love all the other choices you mentioned. Grant Stones and Beckett Simonon in my opinion are the best as per price.

You can't just try a cowboy boot style or brand. There are multiple types and styles that they come in. Between the basics of roper, work, dressy, casual, etc, there are multiple heels, toes, heights to take into consideration. The fit is also key to wearing the perfect pair of boots, some brands offer arch support and others just have a contoured Inner sole. The comfort is based on what you require, just like Chelsea boots, work boots, service boots, etc, there are many skins used to make a perfect boot. Sometimes just changing the skin changes the effect you are trying to show off. There are even cowboy boots that unless you show the tops off you won't even know that they are cowboy boots. Also if the height of them are not your thing, there are zip up boots that come up just above the ankle.

What? No white boots?

Just get some Caterpillar/CAT boots/shoes, guys. That’s all you need. 🤷🤘👍👍

Come on man, I own 5 pairs of shoes total including my ski boots.

Good looking boots, but most of them are far too uncomfortable, stiff, very hard sole and not flexing enough ,and are typical winter shoes.

You guys forgot cowboy boots.

i don't like chelsea boots, too dressy for me. i like more rugged boots.

I just cannot get into the mock toe. I grew up seeing mock toe boots as a purely work boot and just cannot imagine wearing them in any casual manner. The Chelsea boot is also just in my opinion an ugly boot. I realize I am very alone in that sentiment and many men wear them as an essential boot, but i wish they would disappear
