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.
