Hi, I’m William
I founded BootSpy in 2020 with a simple mission: test and review men’s boots and give a real, honest opinion.
At the very beginning, we set out some ground-rules for how we’d do our boot reviews and care guides. You can read our full review process here, but in short:
- we buy the boots
- we test them ourselves and take our own pictures
- we don’t take sponsorships from brands for reviews
- and we give our honest opinions on whether we like the boots or not
We also have the BootSpy YouTube channel where over 30,000+ subscribers get new boot reviews, unboxings, and care guides every single week.
