BootSpy was founded in 2020 with a simple mission: test and review popular men’s boots and give a real, honest opinion.
At the time, the whole web was filled with boot care guides from people who seemed to have never even seen a pair of boots. And forget about them having any experience with true high quality boot makers.
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
BootSpy is here to take the mystery out of shopping for boots.
We don’t simply throw opinions out: we dive into the gritty details so you know what you’re paying for, and whether or not it’s worth it.
Beyond our boot reviews here on BootSpy.com, we also have the BootSpy YouTube channel where over 25,000 subscribers get new boot reviews, unboxings, and care guides every single week.
We give you the facts on the best boots right now. And, with years of experience writing in the men’s fashion industry and over 100+ boot reviews, we’ve seen a broad enough range of boots to stack them up against each other fairly.
Welcome to BootSpy. We help men put their best boot forward.

William put on a pair of army boots when he was seven and barely even took them off to sleep. He had to give them up at nine when they were three sizes too small, but his love of boots is just as strong as ever today.
