YouTuber Rose Anvil cuts apart boots to see how well made they are. He took apart the famous Alden Indy 405 boot a few weeks ago. he called it way overpriced for what ti was since it uses a bunch of weatherboard instead of real leather. He found some other flaws too.
Alden charges $626 for them now.

Better shoes than obsessing over a bunch of men throwing a ball.

I think we’d all be terrified if he did this with home furniture

I don’t like the content creator he seems like a bitch.
Wolverine 10k are a better boot and I love Alden shoes but make a boot with shoe workmanship is not a good idea 360 ° welt should always be used

They may not be worth $626 but I bought my pair nearly 12 years ago, have worn them >2,000 times and easily have 10,000 miles in them on 2 resoles.
Wore them today in fact.

What type of person wears these?

I find shoes, or rather the construction, an interesting subject. I watch the videos some. Mainly Rose Anvil and Bedo's leatherworks. I'm impressed how those cobblers can take a piece of crap and restore it to its former glory. I like how RA dissects and rips expensive crap that's cheaply built. I get tired of reading income statements and balance sheets and wore out all of Graham Hancock's books so its a nice intellectual hobby.

Is this my wife? Seriously this sounds exactly like something she’d say.

This seems unlikely. You’d have to do 2+ miles per day every day for 12 years to hit 10k miles. If you only wore them on average 3x/week (which is a lot) that means you would be putting 5+ miles on them each time you wore them. The math doesn’t work.

Why? You can't argue with what he finds when he tears a shoe apart.

If I'm paying that for boots I'm buying a pair of Nick's. In fact, I'd actually come out cheaper.

The Bedo's YouTube channel is fascinating.

Sent him a 20 year old leather jacket a year ago. He fixed a tear and then re-dyed it five times, making it look brand new.

Is that the cat that took apart the Vietnam army boot and commented it was on the best military boots designed?

Dude just drags too much.

Agree

I will say this: I prefer wood heel blocks (mostly found in Italian shoes) because I like the noise they make when walking. Most people would say that is cheap compared to stacked leather
