Chisos No. 5

I’ve been wearing boots for 51 years and these are as quality as any pair I’ve ever had. The attention to detail is incredible, and the customer service has been touch notch. I can’t recommend Chisos boots highly enough, they are just fantastic.

After intensive research for my next western boot, I landed on Chisos. And boy, did it not disappoint! Aside from all the qualities in the craftmanship, and the various video reviews, there is this unique feeling in owning a pair of Chisos.

For those that value curated items, this is a must have. Not only is the style and design timeless, but the comfort is exceptional. There was no holding back in the creation and development of these boots. Time and time, I find myself grabbing the No.5 rough outs as my go-to footwear - whether it be work or play. I know that this will be a heritage boot and it's no surprise that Chisos owners turn into product evangelists.

For those that are on the fence about investing in these boots, I strongly suggest watching all the available video reviews to get a quantitative view. One can also read about qualitative insights online and in social media. Then pick your pair and enjoy! By the way, customer service is also exceptional!

I'm eagerly anticipating new inventory so I can invest in the other styles. This will be the only brand of western boots I'll be buying from now on.

This is my 2nd pair of Chisos … straight out of the box , perfect fit .. wore them at work all day 14 hrs , no discomfort.
Seriously a good well made boot 🙏

Boot is amazing and built very well. My only complaint is that the leather stack heels are two different shades of brown (one is dark brown , the other light brown). I was expecting a more uniform look at this price point. Otherwise, like I said, amazing boots!

These are great boots! Extremely well made and very comfortable. I bought the rough outs and then went back and bought ropers. Love them both and will buy more!

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 😌.

They are ridiculously comfortable!! Somehow didn’t need to break in unlike my no1, shape must be a bit different I guess. They are so good looking on top of it. Just buy them

These boots are a little more expensive than my Tecovas, but they look better, are made of higher quality materials, are constructed better, and are more comfortable. Five stars. I’ve got two more pairs of Chisos on my birthday wish list.

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.
