  Whenever we have a new show come out, sit back, relax and let's
• 0:36
  get to the bottom of the age-old question.
• 0:39
  What really makes a great pair of boots It was one of my
• 0:47
  questions for you as a boot guy. What should I get, ya?
• 0:51
  If I could make a suggestion there.
• 0:52
  Yeah, I would, I would go to, like, I said, a cabin doors or a
• 0:55
  Boot Barn, or somewhere like that, or if there's a local
• 0:58
  place, that's well, Western Wear type store, and you might have a
• 1:01
  nice one there in Baton Rouge, or western wear, tight place and
• 1:04
  just look at a mid-range boot. Don't get a crazy skin or
• 1:08
  anything. You want something low
• 1:09
  maintenance and get a square toe, something and try on
• 1:13
  several, because that's the key. If it doesn't feel good, there
• 1:16
  don't When you get the right pair, it's going to feel nice
• 1:18
  and you going to be stand up a little taller and your back and
• 1:20
  this and that it's just like putting on your uniform and and
• 1:23
  you'll be able to walk up the steps and realize, oh yeah, this
• 1:26
  is not a clunky work boo. But also if something falls on
• 1:29
  my toe, it probably won't split my big toe open.
• 1:31
  You know what I mean? It's like okay, this is and then
• 1:34
  and if it's well that was that was kind of my question will.
• 1:37
  I know when I cuz it's been years man, it's been years since
• 1:40
  I put on a boot. Well, I know that like okay I
• 1:44
  can go stand for 18 hours. Hours here and I'm in a wheat,
• 1:49
  right? If I get this pair of boots, if
• 1:51
  they feel good there they're going to feel good the rest of
• 1:54
  the time. I'm assume.
• 1:55
  Yes, you want to get, you don't want to try to think you're
• 1:56
  going to stretch into them. And but the also the key is, I
• 2:01
  would suggest because I do this, a lot of my boots, go ahead and
• 2:03
  get a pair of jails made for your boots and try them on with
• 2:06
  the jails in there beforehand. And you can I'm saying, try on
• 2:10
  different ones because I've done this with tennis shoes before I
• 2:14
  wear a 13 regular in tennis shoes and always Fine.
• 2:17
  But I went to a place in Detroit one time where they literally
• 2:19
  sat down and try different shoes and made me stand and do this,
• 2:22
  and that, and those shoes felt better than my normal ones.
• 2:25
  I always thought, I had to get this size, you know what I mean?
• 2:27
  So it's the same with boots. I were 13, ee gotta go
• 2:31
  somewhere. No well and just try out a bunch
• 2:33
  because there's a slight variation on each one.
• 2:35
  A lot of them if they even if they're not hand if they're
• 2:37
  machine-made, they're still slight variations on stuff
• 2:39
  because it's natural materials. So you might want to try
• 2:42
  something. Say If you're a normally 11 you
• 2:44
  might want to try 11 ee or something wider.
• 2:46
  To see how that fits and then, like I said, try it with the gel
• 2:49
  because that's going to give you that extra long.
• 2:51
  If you're going to be on your feet a long time, that's gonna
• 2:53
  help. Especially if you hadn't worn
• 2:54
  boots, and why eventually it's like drinking all day.
• 2:57
  Eventually you get calloused and it just won't do much, you know
• 2:59
  what I mean? You just need to know your feet
• 3:01
  are just, you know, some cow cat real cowboys, would laugh at us
• 3:05
  even having this conversation but for frou-frou want to be
• 3:09
  plowboys like us, that's what I would do, brother.
• 3:11
  I would go try some and try different, get a couple that you
• 3:14
  first off. You gotta be able to look they
• 3:15
  look okay. But then Are several own couple
• 3:17
  different variations of the size and asked and asked the guy or
• 3:21
  gal there and see if they got any just but go to the middle of
• 3:24
  the range. You should only spend about 250
• 3:26
  for a decent pair of boots to start out with that.
• 3:29
  Should be about what you just said.
• 3:30
  Okay, that's good to know it. Is there anything for the
• 3:33
  Feller? That's got the like ankles that
• 3:36
  go up about 12 inches because I have high cabs.
• 3:39
  So basically I've ankles that go up skinny legs man you know?
• 3:43
  I mean so for me I put on a pair of boots and I'm a close look.
• 3:46
  Good. Now, put them on and I look
• 3:48
  like, I'm walking around and I'm about to walk into a dairy barn,
• 3:51
  you know, and walk through, you know, I've got on like like
• 3:55
  rainbow try something. It's there, something for the
• 3:58
  Slimmer. Well Feller, I mean again you
• 4:00
  got to try on a bunch of boots and I know you probably don't
• 4:03
  have that problem. But but but but it doesn't take
• 4:06
  much for you. To think you go, you look goofy
• 4:07
  wearing something. It doesn't take much, you know
• 4:09
  what I mean? Because, you know, it just you
• 4:11
  can be like because a lot of time I got a Bigfoot.
• 4:13
  I'm on like 61 by were 13. Sometimes I like them.
• 4:15
  These shoes look like boats. I'm like my foot that big, it
• 4:18
  looks ridiculous. You know, I understand I wear
• 4:22
  Hoka tennis shoes, man, and I feel like, I'm, I feel like I
• 4:25
  could tread water. You know what I mean?
• 4:27
  My auto just go on a plane here in a minute, you know?
• 4:30
  So I would say like that blasi but find different brands like
• 4:33
  and if you travel somewhere or like to covid, might have a good
• 4:36
  one. I've heard.
• 4:36
  Nothing good about them. But like, I know when I've been
• 4:39
  down like you go somewhere, like Del Rio somewhere down south
• 4:41
  Texas, where they were there, make these boots and stuff and
• 4:44
  then right over the Border, there's like Anderson.
• 4:46
  Beam is a brand, they make that a lot of, that's handmade mean
• 4:49
  you can get or for somebody like you, we know people that you got
• 4:52
  TIG in Louisiana, you get some. I'm getting I'm going to I'm
• 4:54
  hopefully going to shoot alligator and September, get me
• 4:57
  some boots made out of him. This year.
• 4:58
  I'll just have a couple here that way you can get it.
• 5:16
  Like a cat, something to get someone calf a little bit you
• 5:19
  know like on my leg you're gonna need that bootcut you gonna need
• 5:22
  that bootcut Jean you know, Wrangler Retros looking for help
• 5:25
  here. I'm gonna need that boot cut
• 5:27
  Jean, that's for sure. Well I mean I have seen if it
• 5:31
  makes your pants flare out too bad you can't get duct tape and
• 5:34
  tie the top of them tight against your calf.
• 5:35
  That's not against the rules. That's totally legal or illegal.
• 5:38
  Actually I like that. There we go.
• 5:39
  See that's what I was looking for some real insight because
• 5:42
  there's got to be something to Snug that thing.
• 5:44
  I think what do ya say? Look okay.
• 5:47
  On the sword for people. You know, there's these have
• 5:49
  been questions that people have been wanting to know for years
• 5:52
  but they're too afraid to ask you these microphones.
