Form, Meet Function
Calf ropers of the early 20th century weren't too satisfied with the tall heels of cowboy-style boots. They wanted something they could run in. And so the roper was born.
With a shorter heel, shorter shaft, and subdued silhouette, the roper is the cowboy boot's quieter cousin. Still built Chisos tough, the flatter footing of the roper is arguably a harder worker.
Personally, we rotate between 'em both.
Your Chisos boots will last decades with appropriate attention. The vamp (leather surrounding the foot) and leather shaft require only minimal care. Condition this leather about once every three months. Store in a cool, dry location and take a day off between heavy uses to allow the insides to properly dry.
The leather soles of your boots are designed to wear out and be replaced, much like the brakes on your pickup truck. Your mileage will vary depending on conditions of use, your weight, and your walking style. Avoid repeated exposure to water and excess moisture. When needed, a cobbler can perform a full resole and heel replacement.
To extend the life of new soles, have a cobbler apply a rubber sole saver upon receipt. No matter what, physics is going to win against leather soles and stitching. To slow the process, a cobbler can add some rubber to mitigate.
Sometimes you know right away you made the right decision. That's what happened with my Chisos No.6. A little snug putting on the boots, but don't let that fool you. Had a perfect "snap" once my foot slipped in. First day I wore these I didn't want to take them off...super comfortable with no "break in" required. Kudos to the Chisos team. BTW great customer service...had to exchange sizes and had a return label the same day...new boots sent in a couple of days.
Next level build quality. Comfort is unmatched. I could t be happier.
Very comfortable after short break in period.
Had been in the market for some black ropers for around a year. After extensive research, aka YouTube University, Chisos kept popping up as a top rated boot. I had a trip planned to Austin , so I stopped by the store with high hopes. I was immediately greeted by two gentleman, and they were very welcoming. They offered me a beer and the experience began. I knew what I wanted so they snatched a pair of the No 6 in black. Although I knew what I was there for I couldn’t help but admire a few other pairs, especially the lizard skins. Before trying them on I tell the guys how hyped the boots were and I really hoped they didn’t let me down. I finally put them on and I have never been so immediately sold on a pair of boots. They were by far the most comfortable pair of boots I’d ever stepped in. On top of the that, the quality of the leather and soles were next level. I walked in wearing lucchese boots, and left with my new No 6’s on my feet. Overall it was a really cool and unique boot shopping experience compared to your usual retail shops. If you are on the fence I highly recommend you visit the store and see for yourself.
The build quality of these ropers is unmatched by any other maker. The quality of the leather, the rugged traditional construction, and the attention to fine details makes them as comfortable to wear right from the start. These boots are made to last forever. My only quibble probably has more to do with my anatomy than the design of the boots: getting my size 11 1/2 foot to "make the turn" both in- and out-of the boot is a struggle. I expect it to get easier the more I pull them on and off. They are still off-gassing some fumes from the tanning or polish, but fortunately it's a good aroma - sort of like that "new car smell" of a luxury car with leather upholstery.
Received my #6 two weeks ago. They are buttery soft and fit perfectly! They look amazing and feel even better. Thank you for supporting our veterans.
Love my new #6 Chisos! Looking and contemplating my next pair!!! Looks, fit and finish are on point. If I had to complain would be getting them on your foot initially and getting them off is a young man’s game for sure but it’s getting better and easier. Boot jack and boot hooks and plastic bag trick till broken in works.
Love these boots!!
These boots are awesome! Beautiful finish on top being ridiculously comfortable. Went by the store in Austin to just look around with no real intentions of getting another pair of boots, and that was a bad idea. Saw these and love them and putting them on just sealed the deal. On top of that, we had a big time just looking around and talking to Juan about boots, 5k’s, etc.
These boots are great. Quality leather and craftsmanship. Fit snug but not too tight. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an awesome pair of boots.
