Chisos No. 1

My feet is happy! Boots are very comfortable right out of the box, leather is super soft and looks amazing, brushed brown number 1 is perfect.9

Monica and I made a trip to Chisos because I was doing some work in Austin and our daughter lives here I already had a pair of roper’s, which I love and I was looking to add to my collection and to get her a pair for our birthdays. So we went to the Mecca and Juan who was fluid and just met our needs including bilingual for Monica got into three pairs of boots and a couple of glasses of whiskey the hospitality seeing the genuine and the boots are amazing

I own- and have worn- A LOT of western boots in my life. These are hands down the most comfortable, supportive, and best fit.
You’ll find no better quality anywhere.

This is my second pair of Chisos (the first being a pair of roughout #5s). I absolutely love these boots. They are gorgeous, but are supportive and extremely durable, especially compared to other boot companies. Highly recommend.

I never imagined the boots would be so comfy, I other then from chile in my usual size and they fitted perfectly, after 2 days of use they where perfect and could walk on them for the whole day. The look amazing and after a couple of months with them I decided to get the nr. 2 which arrived last week. Simply amazing boots.

Howdy. Here’s the BLUF: these are some of the best cowboy boots around, and (not but) if you have a high-instep, consider sizing up or buying Chisos’ thin insoles. DO NOT use boot stretching spray.

The long version: these boots are awesome. High quality top to bottom, gorgeous, and tough. I will not buy another brand’s cowboy boots ever again, frankly.

…and, I would want anyone with high-insteps who is considering these boots to know that these bad boys may be tight across the vamp/top of your foot. Like really, really, painfully tight (see photo of the red spots on my feet). Admittedly, I have small(er) feet at size 8D on the Brannock paired with a high instep, so it might have been worse for me than you.

I didn’t want to size all the way up to size 9D, and the No. 1 doesn’t have 8.5D. I find 9D leaves my feet flopping around in boots, so I did everything I could to make the 8D work—which fit perfectly everywhere else except the vamp. Thus began my boot fitting journey.

I tried everything except getting the boots stretched at a cobbler (which I might try first next time, lol). I wore double socks and took breaks; put a base ball in them overnight; put duct tape on my cedar shoe trees to heighten the portion that stretches the vamp.

I tried boot stretching spray—WHICH I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I tested the spray on an inconspicuous spot and found that it stripped the dye, so DO NOT USE BOOT SPRAY ON CHISOS. Mkay. But in my desperation I still sprayed it on the inside, which temporarily gave relief.

Ultimately, I believe I have stretched the leather as much as it will ever give, and I believe the issue isn’t actually the leather or the last, but the insole. FOR ME, mind you.

The stock insole is VERY comfortable, and like a tennis shoe to walk on. It’s amazing. I never had much issue when I was standing and walking. However, when I would sit long enough, I believe the insole would ‘relax’ or expand back to baseline and press my foot into the vamp, causing pain. When I was compressing the insole by standing, I was ok. Not ok when sitting.

What finally worked for me was buying TWO sets of Chisos’ thin insoles and stacking them on top of each other (see photo). They molded to my foot well, I don’t have any pain, and the rest of my foot fits well (like before). Now I can’t keep the boots off me! (Yes two insoles are comfy to walk on. Not as comfy as the stock insole, but still). While stacking two thin insoles is probably not an officially suggested solution by Chisos (ha), it worked for me!

Beautiful boots, outstanding quality, and the customer service is just from a different world!

I got my first pair of Chisos last week. I had my eye on them for 2 years, and I was pretty sure I was going to buy No. 1 Magic Black as my first pair of Chisos, but when I saw Brushed Brown in person, I couldn’t resist going with those. The color is just gorgeous! The cowhide leather is top-notch, and the craftsmanship behind the boots is just outstanding.

I really love the feeling of these boots on my feet. I’ve got 13 other pairs from different brands in various leathers, but this pair feels very special!

Most of my boots are size 9D. A few of them are 9.5D. In the case of Chisos, I chose 10.5D. I don’t think Chisos is off with their sizing, but in some cases, I was wrong about choosing the right size.

The only thing I would really appreciate is a bigger spur ledge — to me, the spur ledge is too short and almost nonexistent.

That being said, I absolutely love these boots. I love how they feel and look. I’m definitely going to get another pair, but I’m not sure which one — all of Chisos’ boots are just too beautiful to pick only one! :)

The boot quality is unmatched. Im so glad I found Chisos. For the #1 they do not have a wide selection, so even though I went up a size the left foot was still tight. I normally wear a 9.5 wide. I ordered the 9.5 and had to send them back. The process was super simple. When the 10's arrived they fit perfect on the right foot but the left will need time to stretch out. I will order another pair in the 9.5 wide soon. But I loved the #1 pointed toe. This place has excellent service, and the boots are well constructed. When they are on your feet, you know your wearing a quality boot that will last a lifetime.

Really happy with the boots and experience with Chisos customer service.

I bought a pair of boots but they were too small. After speaking with the customer service team, they recommend the correct size and started the return process. The return was a really easy process.

The new pair was a perfect fit. The chisos No. 1 is a very comfortable boot. The heel is taller than my other boots which was a surprise.

The only thing I regret is returning the stickers and koozie with the small boots. The new pair didn't have any of those small goodies.

These were a gift for our son. He loves them.
