Please do a new review on a Boot that will be able to with stand "not melt" against my exhaust . My right heel comes into contact with my exhaust and melts instantly - Additionally , I would like to be able to walk somewhat comfortably once I get to my destinations. I've damaged several different brands of boots. Please help me.

They make the best safety toe boots. Fuel tanker operators favorite.

Instead of cutting up the laces, I think you should start testing the durability of all the moc toe laces. Even among high end boots, the quality varies.

@Vultain

Most of us just replace our laces with military paracord or leather laces. Durability varies at that point due to how tight you lace your boots. I have met people who have had the same leather laces for 10+ years when mine tend to snap in 6 months to two years at most. Nylon probably around a year or two. Paracord I've never used since you have to knot them a certain way.

Why do you care if your laces are rated for 15lbs or 1,500lbs

You know, the fact Georgia had something to send you in order to explain their strength and abrasion lingo really means a lot. That they’re able to provide a context for the marketing claim where most of these claims come out of thin air and are only vague buzzwords to try and sound impressive without being a legal liability is pretty cool.

Definitely feel this, at the very least they have something to back it up and that they do appear more corrosion resistant, while also having some features that show that they put thought into getting what they can out of the materials, these seem like a good boot and a fine company

I definitely enjoyed the "Good, Bad and the Ugly" format. For a low cost moc toe that will be used in a wet environment it seems like an excellent choice.

Here I was expecting these to not be that good, but there's actually some impressive design/construction here for this level of boot. For bein a cheaper foam boot, they put a lot of thought into it.

I work at a fertilizer plant that deals with lots of phos acid and other acids. My work gets us boots every 6months and Georgia boots seem to hold up the best. Iv tried every brand out there, next in line I’d say is redwing.

Georgia boots were my first "not from the exchange" boots when I was in the military. They were so comfortable and worked great as my daily boot. I wore them for a couple of years before I got out.

I like the new format, it sticks to the facts, and you clearly say when something is just your opinion (like the rubber on the heel part). Well done.

RIP bandsaw blade. Does that add to the "Total Destroyed $$" counter?

I have these exact boots. Going strong well over a year now. Still haven’t wore through the counter cover and have been very comfortable right out of the box. Quite happy with them but agree the plastic cover on the heel is kinda weird. I’d recommend them to ppl on concrete floors all day

@ocgearhead1121

@@_gw33do_ sorry haven’t had a different pair so can’t give you sizing feedback. They are true to size as compared to other shoes and work boots I have owned .

I've been working as a valet for years, I'm on my second pair of Chelsea Georgia Boots... They are very comfortable, 3+ years on the originals wore a hole in one outsole so I got another set for the PNW rainy weather. If you value comfort and aren't looking for a forever boot I'd recommend them.

Thankfully I no longer work in an industry where I need a safety toe boot, but as someone with a wide foot, it's nice to see a safety toe boot that looks like it maintains the width and height in the toe box. These look like a decent value considering the thicker hard rubber section on the outsole and having the added safety toe.

These videos have helped a bunch, i go through boots fast and this helps me save money and get a better quality for that money

I'd like to see ya standardize the test regimen across the board. Love to see all the comprehensive tests, but done on every boot. The burning, a test on the eyelets etc.

I am SO glad you did this boot. It's on my list of boots to try in my wastewater gig - where I absolutely need the waterproof. It was down to this (which you hadn't reviewed yet) and something else waterproof from your list. This wins me out over the I-90 because I have more confidence in the out-sole on the Georgia, not to mention *actually* having a shank.

I just bought a pair of Georgia Boots for work. Never heard of them before, was initially gonna go timberland pro, wolverine or red wing. But had a $150 budget. The Georgia's felt the best and were the cheapest price wise. Before I got them, checked contractor forums, saw they had good buzz for the price so I got them.

I like synthetics. All of the rubber is soft, spongy, and bouncy. Better performance and value when I'm washing dishes at Panda Express. Hot water and cleaning agents. Nothing like heat, steam, and chemicals, to disintegrate and rot out layers of natural materials like leather and cork.

Yeah, Good/Bad/Ugly is a good format.

I've had very good luck with Georgia boots. Some models still keep a real leather welt. They go on sale quite a lot so I'm usually buying them for a little over $100

I'm very happy to see these boots get their own video... I recently bought a pair with my jobs boot voucher program. These are very comfortable and let your toes breath with how wide they are. 9 hours on my feet and not a single pain. The insoles are perfection. I love everything about these boots, very recommended. Great reviews with no UGLY, in my opinion.

I literally have these on my feet right now

I think it would be cool if you did a “Thrift store boot find” video series and test them

Loving all the vids! Would you consider doing it now Russell Moccasin Backcountry video?

I'd love to see Keens Cincinnati Moc toe carbon safety toe reviewed. I've had pretty good luck out of it. I'm interested to see how it's built.

I got those for my factory job, and the leather started shredding on the toes after a few months. They were fairly comfortable though.

FWIW acetone is a fantastic solvent, but a very weak acid. An easy test of acid resistance might be exposing it to vinegar.

Looking forward to that hunting boot series!

The store I went and bought mine did have these composite toe got the regular moc boot style of this had those for over 2 months can't complain great for work

the editor had fun on this one, good stuff.

Wow, that's a LOT of cushion.. very cool!

Please review the redwing postman Oxford! It probably has an interesting history.

Please compare these w/ Keen’s WP version. Thanks for all the great work! Big fan!

Great video.can you do the keen cinncinati.i love the soft toe waterproof 6 inch.

If you read their testing.. They said to soak the leather in chemicals for 5 days--- and after that is when it's 3x stronger than a normal leather. Due to it's chemical resistance, which you admitted it does have. So 3x stronger AFTER chemical damage

Interesting. After wearing GB’s parent company’s Rocky Boots for years, I got a first pair of Georgia Boots. They are my favorite brand now. I have bad feet, and for some reason, the way they’re constructed plus the insoles they use are perfect for me. Their GB00124 are my favorites.

Can you review more georgia boots? Like the logger and wedge? Love the content thanks

@roseanvil can you please review the thorogood iron river moc toe comp toe boots it's nearly identical to the Georgia boot you reviewed in this video and a comparison of the two would be great

Good video. I would like to just explain a small thing. Acetone while it does sound like the word “acid” isn’t actually acidic. Acetone is a fairly strong solvent, but it isn’t an acid because it has a PH of 7. However I do think it is good to test the boots resistance to a solvent too. Thank you for the video!

wow great boots!

Can you do a video on shanks? I know you’re a leather guy, but breaking down each type of shank materials and their pro’s and con’s would be really cool.

Have you ever reviewed keen boots? I have a pair I got a while ago and haven’t had any problems with them but I just found your channel and can’t find any videos about their boots specifically the keen San Jose 6” with the aluminum toe

any chance you can do a video experimenting with the affects of various oils on leather? not just the usual boot oils but like gun oil, engine oil, hydraulic oil. ive had my work boots soaked in oil accidentally a couple times and once it seemed fine and the other time my boots deteriorated within a couple months

Well god damn, when I was back working at Frito and had to load semi truck trailers, but I was too short to reach the patterns, these are what i should have worn! I used to have to put extra heel pads in my boots to boost me up to 5'6"-5'7" from my 5'4" height, these things are three inches thick!

I have the non moc toe versions.. with the weird rubber-ish toecap? Reminds me of vans dura cap fabric kinda. Same counter and sole, but with an unlined upper. Decent boots. And yes.. super wide toebox haha. Have the loggers with steel toe and they are dainty comparatively.

I hope we get to see the redwing 2440 moc toe at some point as well for moctober, this year or next?

I'd love to see more mid-high end boot brands, especially the smaller ones with cult followings like Truman, Oak Street, Parkhurst, and Bordon (stitchdown boots, great leather, awesome construction). You can explore different components - for example, I don't think you've ever cut apart an Itshide sole or a CF Stead leather. You mentioned in the Grant Stone video that they are the best value boots, but it's hard to say that when you haven't really compared with anything else in the same tier!

That's my daily driver. Second pair. Not much to compare to, but I have 'bad' feet and this is about the only thing I can wear for any length of time. First pair lasted about 4 years before being replaced with the same. Still wear the first pair if I'm in the muck, but the sole is worn almost smooth. (Notably, the leather itself is still in great shape.) Paid around $120 both times on Amazon, but like everything they've gone up. Currently looking at the Georgia 6" Logger, GBOT052 as it's currently $95 in my size. Hard to pass up at that price.

Was surprised it didn't rank higher than the rock rooster

Blown rubber is actually pretty common in running shoes for outsoles! It's a lot lighter than solid rubber, in the case of an outsole it won't be as durable. In a running shoe where weight savings are top dog it's fine because the foam(s) will wear out way before the outsole will. In a midsole/slipsole it has the potential to still be pretty durable because it isnt getting rubbed against anything abrasive (like asphalt) so it should be fine in that use case!
