7 Reasons Why Boots Are The Best Shoes A Man Can Own

About this video

Centeno presents seven reasons why boots are superior to shoes in a man’s wardrobe, including durability, construction quality, added height, ankle protection, and style versatility. He demonstrates construction differences between boots and shoes, discusses specific build methods like Goodyear welt versus Blake stitch, and showcases various boot styles from his sponsor Thursday Boots.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues boots are more durable than dress shoes due to thicker uppers, cork linings, and Goodyear welt construction, which he demonstrates by comparing cross-sections of both
• Centeno recommends evaluating boot quality by examining stitching density (at least 8 stitches per inch), heel construction with multiple layers and tacks, metal hardware thickness, and the presence of interior liners
• Centeno contends boots provide practical advantages including 2-3 inches of added height, ankle support and protection from debris, and diverse style options ranging from moccasin and chukka to brogue and Chelsea designs
