Mighty Fine Boots! Chisos No. 2
My father grew up on a farm during an era when tales of the Great American West dominated the silver screen. For him, cowboy boots weren't just a fashion statement; they were a part of everyday life. There were the boots that worked on the farm, boots that went out on Saturday night, and boots for church the next morning.
When my father passed, he left me an impressive collection of cowboy boots. The collection ranged from modern boots to those dating back to the 1970s from several major makers. I wear the same size boots as my father did, so I began wearing them on occasion; since then, I have become a bit of a connoisseur, perhaps even what you would call a "boot fanatic."
A few weeks ago, I bought my first pair of Chisos. To say I have been impressed so far would be an understatement. They meet or exceed the build quality of any other boots I own, regardless of price point. These Chisos are built like tanks while still maintaining a refined appearance. Inside and out, they hold their own against boots that cost three times as much. They are the kind of boots that you could leave to your son or daughter one day.
Are they comfortable? If I have any serious walking to do that day, I'm wearing the Chisos.
I will soon be adding another pair of Chisos to my collection.
