Cowhide
11" Shaft
1⅝" Heel

The No. 1 is crafted from Chisos heritage cowhide, available in either our speckled magic black, gorgeous brushed brown, or roughout. The artwork shows the sun and stars over the Chisos Mountains in Big Bend National Park and our signature red heel stripe completes the piece.

Chisos heritage cowhides boast superior durability to juvenile leathers, and our proprietary process renders them uniquely soft. Natural variation occurs by design. Handcrafted in Mexico.

Chisos provides free shipping on exchanges within the contiguous United States within 90 days of purchase. Product costs are refundable within 30 days of purchase.

For all returns, items must be in like-new condition without scratches nor scuffs. We recommend trying on your boots on carpet to ensure proper fit.

Chisos boots fit true to size according to US shoe standards. Simply order the size that you wear most often.

Generally boots will match the same size you wear in other leather footwear, or a half size smaller than your athletic shoes. If you normally waiver between two sizes, select the smaller size.

The conversion between men's and ladies' is approximately 1.5-2 size increments. For example, a Men's 7 D is a Ladies' 8.5 or 9.

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.

The boot that Started It All

Named like oil wells—in the order of development—all Chisos boots owe a debt of gratitude to the infamous Chisos No. 1.

Elegant embroidery showcases the sun rising over the Chisos Mountains, a tip of the hat to our namesake in Far West Texas. And that medium round toe pairs well with pressed jeans or a tux.

The classic horseman's boot, let the Chisos No. 1 anchor your collection.

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.

Chisos #1s

Of all the boots I have these are the best and most comfortable. They were comfortable right out of the box and they just keep getting better. Can’t say enough about the quality of this company.

Best damn boots

I ordered an 11.5 in black and was nervous about shipping all the way to Aus without trying them on. I ordered my standard brannock size as the fit guide suggests and they do indeed fit true to size and were perfect for me.

I've had my fair share of western and non-western boots over the years and Chisos are hands down the most comfy and most impressive by far. From the box they were a good fit and were comfortable. I've had mine for a week so far and have worn them all day almost every day consecutively and each day they keep getting better. The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail is amazing.

I absolutely would recommend Chisos to anyone; they're easily worth the price and I will happily be buying another pair in Brown.

Amazing quality!

Received them in just a couple of days, all the way to the Netherlands! Also the south there ;)
After a month now wearing them now and then, they're breaking in absolutely fine and fit great. Boots of this excellence are quiet a rarity in my vicinity, so I'm very proud.
Gannon helped me great with the sizing!
These will no way be my last pair of Chisos!

Sharp, Sleek and Comfortable

The boots are gorgeous. I have the Brushed Brown. Brown is the most versatile color in footwear. I think they go best with jeans, but can definitely be worn with chinos as well. I only wear them on the weekends for nights out so I'm sure they'll last forever. If I ever need a resole it would be years from now. I love the 11 inch shaft. I think that's the perfect height. I also love the slightly more than one and a half inch heel. I'm only 5"7" so it's appreciated. I'm usually an 8.5 EE but Dan recommended a 9D which was perfect. The right boot was super comfortable the 1st wear however the left was quite tight. Removing the insoles on the left one did the trick and now they're super comfortable as well. I'll put the insole back in once they're totally broken. Customer service is fabulous. Dan really knows his stuff and he was happy to pass along his knowledge to me. You can spend more on a pair of boots but you won't get a better pair. Love you Chisos

Great Shoes

I ended up exchanging my No 1 for a pair of No 2 with the square toes. I have really wide feet and the No 2 worked perfectly. Probably no surprise if you have ever read any other review of Chisos, but the boots are amazing quality and incredible comfort. I mean, best boots ever in my opinion. I was living near Austin, and moved to Nashville, I am sending everyone your way for boots!

Beautiful and comfortable.

I had trouble finding the right fit for me. The folks at Chisos worked with me and patiently assisted me in arriving at my best fit. Great product.

Right out of the box they are super comfortable and no breaking in required. Can’t wait to get a second pair..

High-Quality, Value-for-Money

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.

Most comfortable boot

The most comfortable cowboy boot that I have ever worn, I had to get a second pair.
