Hello, hello, hello, welcome to firearms of review of the ultimate survival boot. Where is it a good boot we’ll find out? This ones are from Colombia and you can get them on Amazon for about 60 bucks. Now they range somewhere between on average around seventy-five to a hundred dollars, depending on what color you pick depending on what size you pick now. This was our black on black and they were 75 in nine and a half.

Now they do have seven different, colors, weird names, cordovan squash, just take a look. I will include the link in the description below now. As you know, or do not know in this section of our channel, we are doing the review of the ultimate survival boots ultimate survival gear, basically something that you would put on run out of your house, and that would be your last pair. Hopefully, you survive whatever.

That is whether it is a natural disaster or war terrorist attack. Whatever you can think of now, I personally been in a few situations like that, one of them being hurricane ear, ma yes, hurricane ear, my survival here, survivor, yeah and and I had to put on my work boots and man. Let me tell you they are uncomfortable as hell. So I have created this list of eight different criterias that we’re gonna judge the boots by number one being walking running lengths of standing whatever wearing comfort.

How comfortable these boots are to run in to walk in to stand in we’re in for long extended periods of time. You get the point number two stuff proof. What are this boots proof? What a proof- maybe maybe you know, oil proof radiation-proof? What other other different things that they can be provable and number three would be the quality. How well are they made number four sole grip slip: resistance? How how great is the sole for different applications? Number five temperature? Are your feet getting too hot.

Are your feet? Getting too cold number six will be long activity. How long will they last you number seven balance of application. You know different applications running walking, riding a motorcycle riding a bike whatever, whatever you really can think of how good are they? Are they balanced now and number eight being the price now, not the most important, the price? That’s why it’s the very end, because these are your ultimate survival boots.

They better be amazing. Okay, so if you already checked out them on Amazon, if you have clicked on the link below that I, provided you will find out that they have a lot of a lot of a lot of great reviews. More than two thousand I think it’s almost three thousand now. There is a reason why these boots are awesome in pretty much every single way. So, let’s start from the very beginning, walking running lengths, comfort, amazing I, ran for three miles straight in these boots, and I walked for five miles in this boot.

Now the surface was different. It was a mix of wet grass. Rocky road asphalt, I hope, I, pronounced that correct, and this boots performed very, very well. I didn’t feel any pain. They are very light just as light pretty much as my running sneakers. Maybe a little bit a little bit heavier, but still feels amazing to running the the bottom. Sole is pretty bendy, so it is easy to run on the tippy toes whenever it comes to style, which is not very important.

It’s not very important for ultimate survivable to have a cool-looking style, but nevertheless, this look really really really cool, as you can tell from all the sides, from the top from the side and from the bottom from the back, whatever from the other side yeah, they do look really really nice walking, running Lance, Comfort, perfect I would give them nine out of ten whenever it comes to running and standing for long periods of time wearing them.

The whole day, comfort, wise, great, nine out of 10 all right stuff proof. Now these are advertised as water resistance. It’s not waterproof. You know, I just said stuff prove bad water resistant and that’s really it you know and I guess it is pretty good. You have this protection for for water. Obviously that is goes from your tongue. To your you know, the top of the boot I, don’t really know different parts of that.

To put that they use but water resistance, again nice running through the wet grass. Obviously your feet, not gonna, get wet or walking through some. You know shallow Creek or something like that would be great. Now, three quality quality, wise I can’t really judge much because I didn’t really have them for a very long time. You know how much they’re gonna last quality itself feels really really good.

You know all the strings are nice, but how long this will last I can’t tell the reviews obviously speak for themselves on Amazon people say that they had them for a long time and and and they’re still good, so I I trust them on that whenever it comes to the sole grip, perfect I think this are great. I think this is this sort of a bottom sole whenever it comes to different applications is the best because it’s not gonna, be slippery in on.

You know like a tile or anything like that, or marble wet rocks, wet grass rocky road. It’s it’s very nicely balanced. I think this is this. Is this is the best way to go whenever you it goes with? You know having a good grippy bottom, sole, all right, number, five temperature. Now again, like I, said: I was running for five miles straight and I did not get my feet, didn’t get too hot and obviously it wasn’t cold because I live in Florida, so I can’t really come into that.

But because that’s boots you know, obviously you know temperature rise if you, if you worry about that as long as they’re, not too hot, so that your feet don’t sweat and get wet from the inside. Just wear good socks have winter socks with you have summer sites with you just in case. That’s just a recommendation whenever it comes to putting the stuff in the backpack, because it’s ultimate survival.

Yes, alright number six is long activity. How long this will last again, like I, said it depends on the quality and so far as we know, the quality is pretty good and the reviews are pretty amazing on Amazon, so I trust on that. Whenever it comes to long activity, number seven balance of application now I did the running I did the walking I was wearing that for a whole day and I even rode.

My motorcycle in this booth pretty good. Whenever it comes to the balance now, I am not entirely sure how you know scratch resistance, this toe tap of the toe yeah part is so you know, let me know in the comments below. If you do know, if you have this boots, how are the last D or if you try to ride motorcycle in them? You know if you do ride a motorcycle. You already know that your left boot is gonna, be all scratched up if it’s not a good material, not a scratch resistant material.

So, if you do know, let me know in the comments below I’d really appreciate it and the last one number eight is the price. Now the price is like I said this particular pair is seventy-five dollars. It can get a little cheaper or a little bit more expensive, depending on the color that you pick and the size that you pick I think the price is amazing. For this well-made, boot I think it is pretty amazing.

So in the conclusion survival you know it is really up there. It’s really up there now I’ve done review on Salomon, GTX and they’re. Absolutely amazing boots. They they. They are so far number one on my list of survival boot, but this ones are pretty close and they are more than twice than cheaper than some. So it’s a pretty pretty tough competition and also I think they look really cool again.

Salomon looks pretty cool too, but if you want something that you know wearing in town that you can wear in town and that look a little bit strange, this is pretty good good compared to Solomon because Solomon it kind of does look more, like you know, like a hiker type boot or like a survivalist type of hood. So if you don’t want that, this is a great choice. Now the only things that I’m, not a big federal here, are this hooks.

If you watch my Solomon review, I wasn’t a big fan of those in there as well, because here you have to kind of go through this hooks and I mean might not be a big deal or maybe there’s a special application why this hooks are placed on the boots. Let me know if you know in the comments below I’d appreciate it, but I would think probably would be better to have a hole in here, but again I might be wrong.

Maybe maybe there is a reason. There is an important reason why it’s it’s the hooks and not the holes, the strings. The tie strings are strings. Yeah, the the shoelace knot, strings shoelace, are are pretty thick, so they’re not going to be ripping anytime soon and really. Everything else is pretty good. I really love the I think the best of the features on this boots is the lightweight and the grippy bottom sole.

Traction is good little bit sleeps on the rocks, but what was very good compared to stills is little bit less traction, but otherwise good comfortable shoes, outdoors Columbia, good quality.

Thank you for looking and good luck.

These are the Newton Ridge plus two can grip here and here seam-sealed construction that can handle this, and this and a midsole give you comfortable hour after hour after hour.

America and today we have another pair of boots from Colombia, and this is yet again the Newton reach, plus two, but this time in suede now this review that I’m doing is specifically for a few of my viewers who asked me about this particular boot and how they are different from the boots that I have already reviewed, which were a regular non suede. This is just a leather, but but I decided to do this review yet again, just because these honestly are one of my favorite boots.

In fact, this is one of the boots that I, you know. After doing, a review I actually decided to keep- and this is this is my this is my personal pair go to pair and, as you can see, they are practically 100% identical, not not practically. They are identical, except this part right here of these ones is the suede, which is you know, which is the same leather, but it’s just the other side of the leather that they use to give that fuzzy appearance.

So, let’s do the review on this boots as I’ve mentioned. This is one of my favorites. Just because of the price. Affordability is absolutely amazing. The comfort is amazing. They are fairly light for the hiking. The traction I love pretty much everything about this boots and as we go along, I will compare the two just to you know help you see that they’re identical boots, except for the fact that this is suede right here.

Ok, so as you guys, some of you guys already know this. We do the reviews here specifically for ultimate survival boots section where we talk about several different criterias. In fact, eight different criterias, the first one being the comfort level and in order to test the comfort level I, do the five-mile walk and a three-mile run wearing the boots for about seven to eight hours total, and let me tell you guys: this boots are extremely comfortable.

I, absolutely love the comfort level of these boots. Now you will be surprised whenever you get them out of the box. You will be surprised because there isn’t really anything fancy about the inner sole here. It’s not any fancy. Orthopedic, inner sole, which takes all the impact- it’s not ortho light, it’s not even jelly I, don’t think it’s it’s jelly at all. You know it’s, it might be a little bit chilly, but it’s it’s very hard, very, very hard inner sole, but but surprisingly, this inner sole is capable of taking a lot of impact.

Whenever you are running and I guess it has to do with the flexibility of the bottom sole. It is very easy to run in this boot so running in this boot. It was you know, absolute breeze, so on the comfort level, I, don’t remember what I gave this boot before, but I would give a solid nine out of ten and I. Think in the price range that they’re at which we will talk about the price later I think that’s pretty pretty amazing, and this is the same exact thing.

If you want to compare with the other pair, it’s exactly the same. Inner sole feels exactly the same. Like I said they are 100% identical. Let’s see, yep the bottom sole is identical to all right. So let’s talk about the proofing, that’s the number two proofing and protection. So whenever it comes to proofing, this boots are waterproof, which is nice. You know for your hiking boot. You want them to be waterproof.

As you can see, there is this match going between the tongue and the shaft that will prevent some water. Getting in you know, if you get into the puddle about I, don’t know four inches deep, pretty good. You know for a mid-sized boot. It is pretty good. Whenever it comes to the protection there isn’t really much on the toe. The toe is soft, just like on the on the other ones, the heel, it does have a heart.

You know that that is pretty. It does have a heart sort of a construction here on the back, so you know any impact from the back. You will be protected. The ankle does not have a lot, but still it does have that soft mesh going. So it does offer a little bit of protection, but not much. Nothing I will rely on all right. Let’s talk about number three quality and the design features now.

Quality. Usually I. Point out to Amazon reviews which this guys, by the way they do have a lot of reviews on Amazon this particular the suede ones. They have 200 something reviews almost 5 stars, but the you know the original Colombia’s Newton reach. They have I believe about 2000 reviews, and the reviews are just just amazing, so and I I personally can speak for for the quality, because I had them for about I, don’t know a year now and they just been places and they never.

Let me down on a whole bunch of different trails, different terrains, absolutely fantastic. Whenever it comes to comfort whenever it comes to traction stability, all of those sort of things, so the quality wise, they are pretty good, they built they are built pretty nicely. Now. The design features a few things that I wanted to mention. The the hardware here is metal, which does add up a little bit to the weight.

But not you know not nothing really substantial to you, know slow you down or make it really heavy or anything. The open hood construction here is specifically for that fast tightening, which is you know typical for hiking boots, which is pretty nice alright. So, let’s move on to the next carry category, which is the number four outsole traction and stability. So, as I have mentioned already, the traction of this boot is pretty good its.

It has to do with this very, very unique I think it is it’s very cool, outsole design because it features both the you know aggressive side of the sole, but at the same time it is sort of flat in a way so you’re not gonna, be stuck in the surfaces like sand, for example, but at the same time it will allow you to just speed through slippery surfaces like a wet grass, for example, because it does have that aggression which is I, think it’s very nice and used as you can see.

It does come out on the side here. So I I think just the design is, is pretty smart whenever it comes to the bottle. So now the stability wise is is pretty fantastic as well as as I mentioned. There isn’t much support here, because this area is soft, but there is some support for the hill, but again because the bottom sole is pretty flexible. As you can see, it is very easy to you know not put too much stress on your knees and your ankles I think that that’s pretty good number five is the temperature now, as as some of you already know, because I live in Florida, it’s hard for me to test this boot in colder temperature, but but luckily, because I own, a pair I, was able to test this boot in some freezing temperatures in Tennessee, yes and yeah, they hold they.

They are pretty good. Now it wasn’t really I think it was about minus 10, which I know for some people is not cold enough at all. So I understand that yes, but I’m a Florida, and for me it’s absolutely freezing, but nevertheless you know with with some warm socks. They did job fantastically whenever it comes to hot temperatures. Yes, I do live in Florida once again, I’m saying walking in this boots in Florida heat, 100 degrees weather feels completely fine.

They have a great ventilation and my feet: they do not overheat at all, so pretty good whenever it comes to the temperature. Now, let’s talk a little bit about the sizing now, typically I get my boots in a half a size bigger, but because back when I was actually getting this boot. Whenever I was buying this bush, they did not have the size. 10 I ended up buying my actual size, 9 and a half.

Now the typical recommendation, which I heard from a few of my more experienced hiker friends, is to get a half a size, bigger hiking boot, because it allows that extra. You know to protect you from the impact whenever you’re going down the hill to protect your toe from hitting the front of the toll on the boot, but I bought the 9 and a half for myself. This boots are nine and a half, and they did.

The fitment is fantastic. They did not. They did not hurt my toe so far as much as I’ve been hiking. If I could replace them to attend I would so, if you do consider this boot get half a size bigger. Just a good recommendation, but overall they are definitely true to the size. So definitely good in that department. Number seven I think is the most important one whenever it comes to the ultimate survival boot section, it’s the balance of application.

Now, whenever it comes to balance of application, what it is about is how well would this boot be? If you just had to run out of your house and run for a very long time, walk for a very long time. You know maybe climb something different terrains, different temperatures overall, how would they be as that? How well you know how good of a that lasts ultimate survival boot? They are I. Think this boots is a great option because they do feature a lot of things.

You know the bottom. Sole is fantastic. There isn’t a lot of protection here. However, it’s always that balance between sacrificing that you know, protection for mobility and speed and, at the same time, sacrificing their mobility and speed for more protection with you know, with a composite toe, for example, or with some heavier plastic going. You know down the ankle area to protect your ankles stuff.

Like that obviously adds on to the weight and weight, obviously which restricts your movement and stuff like that, so I think, overall, whenever it comes to that balance, it’s more of a personal preference. If you want more mobility, you will love this book. If you want more protection, you might look around a little bit more, but to me I think this boots are definitely in the top 10 out of all the boots.

So far that I reviewed this channel and I reviewed a lot so far, but definitely in the top 10 on that ultimate survival. Boot section, hey, you know, after all, I I did I did get a pair for myself. So you know if that doesn’t say something right. Number eight number eight I think you’re gonna, like the most whenever it comes to this boot is the price. Yes, I think this boots are one of the most competitive price wise on the Amazon.

Whenever it comes to hiking boots, the price is absolutely fantastic. You can buy this boots for about $50. Now this particular pair was about 75 dollars, which is what my boots were. Whenever I was buying them, but that’s really depends on the size and it depends on the color, but they do start at $50, which is honestly, is just extremely hard to compete with all of the features with all of the lightness and everything these boots offer with the comfort level.

It’s you know, there are boots that can compete with that that there are boots that can compete with quality with the lightness with the features you know, there are some boots out there, which are fantastic with great traction very similar to this, maybe even a little bit better, not by a lot just a little bit but price-wise. They will be. You know two three times more expensive than visibles, so Columbia did absolutely fantastic jobs whenever I don’t know how they did it, but they did it.

So what do you guys think about this boost? What do you guys think about the suede now I do like the suede honestly, if I had the choice between the two boots yet again to buy I really doesn’t matter to me, which one I would get. You know I think they both look fantastic, whether suede or not, suede. In fact, this is sort of a shiny surface. This is not really a shiny surface as more of a fuzzy surface.

As you can see, the only thing I would do differently, like I said, is I would get half a size, bigger, not nine and a half which is my exercise, but ten, so I can get that a little bit of that extra. So definitely do that. That would be really helpful, but other than that, you know, if you guys, you know- probably not wondering any more by now, but there are absolutely no difference.

The only difference is that suede surface. So what do you guys think? Let me know in the comments below if this review was helpful.

Hello and welcome back to DAV Green another waterproof shoe for the common man. We are located in North Florida and today is evident of a not so sunny day. It’s actually quite cool that lows in the 30s tomorrow’s higher in the 50s. A need for a great shoe. However, today is not gonna. Be that day today’s gonna be a Columbia shoe. The Newton Ridge plus to label on the box, looks like this. As you can see, I wear 11 and a half.

This is the shoe. Yes, they do look beat up. Don’t they well we’re going into that detail in just a few minutes. I am wearing Columbia gear today and I will tell you: I love their clothes. We actually go to the outlet malls and find quite a good deals on the only outlet clothes. This is their best. Wonderful, warm, pure zipper, waterproof love, it works fantastic. However, these pair of shoes are failed.

Now, I did see a number of reviews online that purport it to be somewhere above the fours out of 5 I know rankings are all relative. That’s why I don’t give out numbers to me. They’re! All personal and I say whether I like them or I, don’t to pass or fail this shoe and other shoes that I’ve worn by Columbia are fantastic at the beginning. However, this one has failed over time. I’ve had this shoe for about six months and again, I walk a lot of miles.

As you know, I probably do somewhere in the range of about 60 miles a week. Sometimes more and I wore my shoes casually as well. This is the Newton ridge plus -. It is a waterproof shoe and when I first got this shoe, the unboxing was fantastic. Put my foot right in it as most Columbia’s have a nice full foot, ample of room, nice, clean heel, box, nice and tight, closes and secures right around it.

I love it. It’s got a nice brass metal for the hooks for your laces and it felt nice and secure full Eevee a phone all the way around soft and comfortable, not hard like some of the other shoes, nice and bendable. It does bend a little bit, maybe not too much, but just enough to where you feel that comfort on the give all around rocks or entrails over trees stumps, you name it Clem bees website has a lot of material on this being waterproof, go through the muck, the mud, the trails yep.

You can do that if you only want it to last for a couple of months. This shoe, unlike other shoes, and perhaps why should say the more expensive shoes you 140 hundred 30 and lower usually have a leather called PU leather. So when leather comes from a cow, it’s usually split and have two different hides, so this becoming PU leather, which also would go to like furniture, handbags belts, P leather is polyurethane embossed or impregnated and fused whatever you want to call it, however, you want to state it, and basically it’s a very, very thin leather.

Some become thicker on this shoe. It’s very thin. Pu leather, however, does not hold up over time. It does not become soft and subtle, like other leathers, like top grain leather wood, which is the best part of the leather. This, however, is the leftover when they cut that leather for top grain, whatever they’re using it for the shoe has leather, it has suede and it does have some mesh material here.

This is also leather. Again, it’s a PU leather, so how they get. That is when they infuse the nice PU leather with polyurethane. They can then stamp it. However, they want you’re gonna see these shoes are beat up quite a bit and I’m gonna tell you why I use these primarily over I would say the the late fall late summer early fall all the way through recently and I, put a lot of miles on these and again I’ve gone through a lot of shoes, I flipped, quite a bit just so I can test them out for you guys.

This shoe, however, failed in a number of ways and I’ll tell you why, when you review these shoes, when you look up other reviews, static reviews on the named brand websites, where you buy your shoes, they’re gonna give you good reviews, and those are usually shoes. Reviews done within the first few weeks of the shoe. This shoe is time tested and true. What ended up happening was. This is so thin. This PU leather I mean millimeters thin.

As you can see the major crack right there I actually had to glue it. I actually use some rubber compound on there to keep it, and you can see the split right there. Look how thin that is now. You can really see it really cheap and it is over another piece of mesh material on the inside pardon for the helicopter flying over there. But again it is really thin and it did not hold up well. I actually had to take these shoes and I use camp dry on some of this stuff and I.

Try to use moisturizing shoe shoe soap so that it remains soft and subtle. The problem is, is that these shoes over time, like most PU leathers crack and they cracked along the line, as you can see, I mean cracked all the way through here, they’ve been glued and you can actually see it separating from its material that it was bonded to which is like a mesh like material on the end on the inside of the shoe.

This does have full board lasting all the way down. Again it is a V, a foamed, fantastic foam, fantastic feel it has what they call their omni grip. They call it a fancy name like all of them. Do it is. It is a nice grip it wore soft. It is a soft compound. It wear will wear very quickly if you’re wearing these a couple days a week or maybe a day on the once a month on the weekend, just to go trail, hiking they’ll, probably last you six to eight months.

If you’re a worker like me working out in the elements they will not. Last you more than three or four months like these did I kept trying to glue them. I kept trying to prepare them. I kept trying to keep them going, but what can you expect out of an $80 00 shoe yep? That’s right! 80 bucks, good, buy these addicts, Zappos Amazon Academy sports I mean you name. It Columbia outlet even sells these for 80 bucks and they come in different colors as well comes with a nice black.

The shoe actually become actually is suede as well: full full suede instead of the soft PU leather and again just so that we understand this is not top green leather. This is PU leather, polyurethane, infused, leather, that’s what this is basic shoe, it’s a basic fit. It looks great. It does feel good when you first put it on, but I will tell you. This is a stinker and this shoe is a fail from an endurance standpoint.

If you want something to look good and last you for a few months or a year, and you wear it only a couple times- that’s fine, but look at the endurance. Look what happened here! It’s appealing here, all the way around softie va foam as comfortable. It is it’s not very durable, I wore through these very quickly. You can see where my heel strike is. It does have a nice lift, as you can see a little lift.

There does have a nice nice lift in the front. It does not have much of a toe bumper, so much, but just a a front toe box. Bumper itself does not protect the toes at all. It’s a very soft inside very comforting, very comforting, full foamed leather tongue. Here it is fully gusseted, as you can see as well and again, they’re claiming this is their waterproof shoe. It was waterproof for the first few times I warrant I did not find it to be overly.

You know excellent in that category, but again, if you’re, just wearing it around town and want to look snazzy and going between the clubs, probably a good fit for you. If your weekend holiday are going to buy furniture with your wife that IKEA or something it’ll work for you, are you working on construction? It’s a fail. Are you a landscaper looking to get more than two to three months out of it? It’s a fail: I love, Columbia, I, wear their clothes.

I have a number of their products, but, however, this is a fail, and again this is the Newton ridge plus to this is Douglas d, a b Greene escapes here in north again. This is my viewpoint. This shoe a complete and utter fail comfortable at first later on. It’s a fail for those that need a good working shoe. So again, I got one more Columbia, that’s actually a good shoe and that’ll be in my next video thanks for watching.

Please write comments, good or bad I. Take them all and anything else I can review for you. As far as the waterproof variety goes, some suggestions, you think about getting a shoe, send it to me: I’ll, buy it. Wear it and I’ll. Tell you how what it’s like from unboxing all the way through fit finished through the rain, the storms, you name it. This is Douglas Brown’s, DAV green escapes, thanks for watching I, know.
