The Chisos Nº1 are the fifth pair of boots that I’ve owned and are head and shoulders above the rest. Due to their construction, they take a lot longer to break in than every other boot that I’ve owned.
In addition to being built for you and your posterity, the design incorporates an insole which puts their comfort and wearability on par with trainers. I have been plagued with back problems and really feel it after 8-10 hours in other boots. Not the case here.
The dark brown is a super unique color that I’m yet to see be matched in any boot store.
In terms of sizing, they run a little smaller than the other Austin boot maker and pretty close to Ariat - but probably not enough to size down.
Already eyeing my next pair.
