Chisos No. 5

While it is hard to break in without scuffing in a house with hardwood floors, I finally got it done.

10D is and has been my size for nearly 50 years. This is true with the left boot, just snug enough to break in normally. But, the right was way too tight. I broke the pin in my new cheap Amazon boot stretcher while getting it close but not quite comfortable enough. So I replaced the inserts with a combo of water buffalo and lamb skin. Fits perfect!

Matches great with a roughout gunslinger stitched belt from Texas Saddlery (with a Montana silversmiths buckle). and a matching band on a pecan stetson Gus.

Happy 65th birthday to me!

The number 5s are number 1 with me. Classic western boot. The snip toe is all business with a classic Texas look. Like my No 2s, they are incredibly comfortable with a bit more sass and style.

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, there isn’t much to add to this page of the Chisos website. The mad scientists in the design lab have concocted a special blend of yeehaw so you can grab the reins, set your spurs and, well….let ‘er buck.
What you don’t know is what you can’t see. Are they comfortable? I’ve been wearing everyday for about 3 weeks while breaking in a new pair of jeans. My 8D Brannock foot fits perfectly into the Chisos 8D. The padded insole is very comfortable and throws you a bit up and forward reminiscent of the infamous gold standard of off highway footwear,,,,the Whites Smoke Jumper. Start walking with your toes in and you’ll feel like Duke Wayne jacking a round into his lever action . Punches may be thrown! I’m going to add a few weddin pix of Chisos roughout and Japanese selvedge union so you can share in the joy of this blessed occasion. Caution…be mindful of nearby insects…..you may suck a bug in when you see ‘em.
Happy trails, amigos!

My expectations were high. But, the boots actually exceed them. They look great, but they wear even better. These are now my go-to boots. I love wearing them.

Hi y’all ! Got my chisos no 5 in brushed brown. Look good. Feel great. Perfect fit size 10d (uk 8). What a wonderful feeling stepping out in these. Best footwear ever.

Very comfortable Boots. Break in is not copleted yet, so I even expect more…

Well, the Boots are really heavy, compared with other ones. I guess this is owed to the Quality. But: I am quite sure, that there is Potential without loosing Quality.
On the other Hand, it smells like a long-Term Realationship!

I received my 5's (roughout 9.5 D) last week, and so far, so good. I was worried about the size, but my regular size 9.5 D feet also fit perfectly in the new Chisos No. 5. I felt a satisfying "thumb" when pulling on the boots, and the heel slip is minimal. The new boots feel snug across the foot, and I have sufficient space in the toe box without any cramping. I am glad sticking with the 9.5 size instead of 10 when placing the order... ironically, this pair of 5's were the last ones Chisos had in stock in size 9.5 D... maybe it was destined they had to come to California 😄.

Also, I am very amazed at how comfortable the boots are, right out of the box, after pulling them on.

I have been wearing the boots ever since I received them for the entire day... no real break-in time at all. I have received many compliments ☺️.

The Chisos are quality built, very impressive and extremely comfortable 😌.

The Chisos No. 5 is my 3rd pair of Chisos boots, along with two pairs of the No. 1s. I'm fortunate to have many boots in rotation ranging from beefy PNW boots from Nicks to exotics from Lucchese. But I always come back to my Chisos to slip on for day to day use.

Dressy enough for the office, comfortable enough to walk miles, and robust enough to stomp around the dance floor, I can't express how versatile my Chisos have been. I used to draw a hard line on no foam/rubber insoles for my boots (and I still believe that once broken in, nothing beats a leather insole perfectly molded to your feet), but I can't deny that the Chisos insoles make the boot incredibly comfortable out of the box. You also still get that molded leather feel after wearing them in since there's a thin leather layer on top of their rubber insole.

Build quality is also up there among all my boots, with thick leather, tight stitching, and solid construction. I'd recommend folks check out Rose Anvil's videos on YouTube showing a pair of Chisos cut in half. Compared to the cross section of other brands, the Chisos use real slabs of leather in their construction with minimal synthetic material, and you can really tell the difference in quality if you've spent time around real leather boots.

I will note that, similar to other reviews, I did get some of the red leather dye leach onto my socks, especially if I'm sweating in these boots. Good thing the vast majority of my socks are black so it's been a non-issue.

I love the Chisos packaging and attention to detail. The boots come with a pair of cotton drawstring boot bags, which I typically purchase separately to keep dust off my boots when they're off rotation so that's a great addition.

I also received a handwritten thank you card. The third card for my No. 5s referenced my previous boots, which is a small but nice detail that makes you feel like you're really supporting a small company instead of some massive corporate entity.

I could be wrong, but I don't believe Chisos offers a resole/recraft service. They should! I know there are many capable cobblers and excellent leather outsoles (JR oak tanned leather is king to me), but I like to send boots back to the original manufacturer for work when I can.

All in all, my Chisos have all been great and I look forward to getting many more years (and miles) out of em.

One of the most beautiful pair of boots I bought for a while have many pair of boots I really enjoy the Western look very much comfortable enjoyed walking around in them for over 6 hours the other day on August 2nd 2024 looking forward to buying my next pair either of the number one or the number two magic blacks square toe would recommend to family and friends sincerely Mr Gerald Harris

Howdy, y'all, I hate to write this review but it is the truth and I hold that to the utmost standard. My chisos No. 5 have been a disaster since the beginning. I bought them as a special birthday gift to myself as a boot enthusiast for over 5 years and was bitterly disappointed. I wore the first pair that I got everywhere. For only a couple of weeks, two, until the outsole started to come apart from the welt completely. Not only that, but I also had stitching from a pull strap come completely undone. All this within a couple of weeks on an almost 600 dollar pair of boots!!!! I emailed chisos this and they sent me a new pair. This was awesome! Their customer support beat my expectations. They offered to send me a new pair of boots! Behold... the second pair of Chisos faired much worse. Through less wear, the soles have come completely apart from the welt. It is worse on the old pair than on the new pair! Although this review may be late, it is a genuine, unfiltered, experience of owning a 600 dollar (more these days with tax) pair of chisos boots. For anyone planning on wearing their chisos hard and as they're meant, please memorize the chisos customer support email and phone line. Thank you- Seamus Dewane, Boot enthusiast. (below are pictures of both boot failures in chronological order.)

What can I say I love these boots. These are my 2nd pair of Chisos boots and probably not my last. They feel great and of very high quality. I look forward to wearing these once winter is done here in Vermont, as strong as they are I would not want to subject them to the state's salt. I do wish they had a few more styles or heel styles only static I have with this company, and that's not a bad thing. Guess I'll have to save up for some of their exotics lol.
Overall I love Chisos as a company and how they do things. I look forward to my next purchase.

I’m loving my new Chisos # 5’s. I’d been researching cowboy boots for sometime and decided that Chisos were the company that I was going to go with, originally had my eye on the # 2’s but fortunately I came across the #5’s and purchased them in the Roughout finish. I was a little worried about sizing but my fears were allayed once they arrived and found they were a true fit. Shipping was very quick to Australia also. Thanks also for the hand written note. All up a happy positive experience.

#5, Brushed Brown, Size 13D:
Spectacular in every category. Beautiful, soft and thick leather.
Perfect, true to size fit and next level comfort.
Heavy duty and traditional build construction.
Exquisite eye-catching styling.
Flawless quality.
Fantastic customer service.
Quick delivery.
Pictures attached but they don’t do the roots justice.

When I wear these boots I feel like a million bucks. The quality, the style, the high class look is outstanding. I consider this an investment

I bought the chisos # 5 Roughout and really like them a lot. I currently also own a pair of # 2 in Roughout and they are great too. For some reason the number #5s are just at another level. By this I mean they are more comfortable and stable for me. Which is weird because I like wider toeboxes , and these are a snip toe but it doesn’t hurt or bunch my toes up at all. Very comfortable , the Roughout is amazing. The Chisos #5 rough out are probably my favorite boots other than my custom boots.
And although my custom boots fit better, my chisos boots are more comfortable. Nice Job Chisos!!!!!!!!!

I’ve been wearing my #5 rough outs everyday since I got them they’re still a little tight around the top of the foot, I put on a pair of thinner socks and its better, other than that I love the boots.
