Chisos

Compared to the other popular brand sold online, these feel much more a part of my foot and very protective. The soles on the other brand is thin enough to feel the gravel of a dirt driveway. But the Chisos have just the right amount of ankle support, foot bed thickness, and downright comfort. I have the No 6 in brown and the King Roper.

Size wise, I usually run 10 on average with boots. The King Roper is 10 and perfect. In the brown No 6, I ended up needing a 10.5 with a slightly thicker sock to be comfortable. The 10 was extremely tight with a thin sock and was a foot ache that was too much to withstand. Customer service was great to make the exchange and explained how the difference in the leathers contributed.

Totally love both pair!!

It's that arch and insole. It makes them feel just a touch different than other brands of boots. But NOT in a bad way. They certainly feel more broken in straight out the box. For me - a little more arch high. But they are not actually so. I don't think. I got all day comfort straight out the box.

Looks - that square tip is not too aggressive like some boots. It's not a point either - but it's just in between and very acceptable.

Construction wise - beautifully made and well detailed and finished. The leathers all feel excellent. Premium boot.

Size wise - true to size. Don't worry about that insole. Just order your normal size for your normal fit. In my case 11.5D was good in Chisos as it is in Tecovas and Lucchese.

Packaging - HONESTLY - I didn't need all the fancy double cardboard box and metal ring set in the box end and the notes and the coozie. Sure it gives a nice "premium" box opening experience - but you are just going to have to recycle it all. On the other hand the cotton boot bags are good for storage if you are going to keep them for occasional use. But again - as these boots have joined my daily rotation - not REALLY needed.

Would buy again.

I have been a huge fan of Chisos Boots since learning about the company via one of the interviews Will Roman did after starting the company. Years later, my bank account definitely has a lower balance due to my fondness for Chisos boots. After several purchases of the No 1s, No 2s, No 5s and No 6s, I knew that I would eventually end of with the King Ropers. Since purchasing the King Ropers, they have quickly become one of my favorites. The craftsmanship and the comfort of the boots is incredible.

Ostrich has always been one of my favorite exotic skins and I have had several pairs over the years from other brands. With Chisos, there is definitely a difference in the leather that is used versus competitors. The King Ropers are set apart by the smooth ostrich on the shafts which compliments the full quill ostrich on the vamps.

It's probably a good thing that I no longer live in Texas. I probably would be a regular visitor to their storefront in Austin which would not be good for my bank account. I definitely appreciate the company that founder Will Roman and team have created. I look forward to see where they take company in upcoming years.

Do right, love Texas and buy a pair of Chisos (two pairs or even a dozen pairs). They're definitely from other boot offerings.

Good fit right out of the box. Break in was quick and painless. I love the support built in to these boots, much better than other brands I own. Also, I like the design on the shaft of the boots. Get a pair, your feet will thank you!

I set out with the objective of buying footwear that would last me a lifetime and would be appropriate for casual, office, (outdoor) work, and even formal settings. I’m familiar with quality shoe construction, so I did my research and decided on Chisos. These are the first cowboy boots I’ve ever owned, so I probably don’t know just how good I have it by going with Chisos. I am quite happy with my decision: the boots are excellent and the company is delightful to work with.

I was apprehensive because I’m a 13.5E, I had ordered the 13EE No. 2 in Roughout, and I did not know what to expect in the fit (again, first cowboy boots). They looked great (my wife concurred!) and the fit was reasonably decent enough so I ordered another pair of 13EE No. 2 in Magic Black. That pair fit even better out of the box, broke in faster than the roughouts, and are very comfortable to wear all day long both in the office and around the homestead. I then noticed a manufacturing defect in one of my roughouts which Chisos promptly and cheerfully rectified by exchanging them. The replacement pair of roughouts fit even better and are even more comfortable than the first. After unboxing I wore them for two-and-a-half days straight with zero discomfort and they’re absolutely fantastic!

These two pairs of boots are an investment, for sure, but I think I’ve achieved my objective.

Amazing boots! From the service to the quality absolutely can’t miss with Chisos!

I, like many others saw all the YouTube videos about how great and amazing Chisos boots were. I was nervous about spending the money at first but after I got them, not only the presentation of the unboxing but the look, durability and comfort was like nothing I’ve ever felt before! The boots were a little stiff at first but once you had them on your feet a few hours a day for a days they went from comfortable to “holy cow how can it be getting better!!” I will 100% be back to purchase more boots in the future! Thank you Chisos for truly standing up to what you believe in and making the best damn cowboy boot money can buy hands down!

After being skeptical about wearing boots around regularly, I became pleasantly surprised. I went to Chisos to try some boots with my parents, they were incredibly comfortable and I found them to improve my posture. I felt immediately satisfied and even empowered by the whole experience. I ended up leaving with new boots and a belt to match it. I wore them every day for the following week and they only became more comfortable.

Thank you Chisos!

As a Texan my boots are also a sense of pride. And Chisos definitely makes a high quality boot. As proven by Rose Anvil in his cut in half analysis. The only break in required is to scuff the leather sole and you are ready to wear. Thanks for making an excellent boot. TexMex at its best.

Some brands advertise by talking about the "fit of your life", chisos should do it. These boots are comfortable right out of the box. They mold to your foot quickly and permanently. I have narrow feet and I have always cheated with my boots by unfortunately taking a size too small in length. The Chisos team was great in their advice and recommended the correct true size. I think this is the beginning of a long collaboration between Chisos and me... With kind regards from France. Kim

I have a pair of Lucchesse cowboy boots and they look beautiful but are seriously uncomfortable. I got the Chisos in hopes that they would be more comfortable and boy are they! As close to a sneaker comfort level as you can get. Very happy with them.

They are ridiculously comfortable!! Somehow didn’t need to break in unlike my no1, shape must be a bit different I guess. They are so good looking on top of it. Just buy them

There’s no better boot for authentic cowboy boots. Affordable and leather all the way through. Perfect heel height and comfortable as hell. The only reason I own any other brand boots is for leather variety. If those varieties come out (at an affordable price under $1500) I’ll sell my tecovas.

I took my Chisos out of the box and wore them to a concert. Walked two miles in them and on my feet all night. The next morning, I felt like I'd been wearing running shoes all night. No sore back, no sore feet. That type of out-of-the-box comfort in a leather shoe is very hard to find!

I've gotten to have a sizeable boot collection, and the Chisos #2 has quickly become tied for the #1 spot (not sure if Chisos would appreciate me naming other brands in a review here). Gorgeous craftsmanship, impeccable quality materials, and possibly the most comfortable pair of boots ever right out of the box. I can't say enough good things about them, and I can't recommend them enough. Seriously, if you're considering the splurge but you're on the fence due to the price tag, just go for it. You won't regret it.
