When I opened the parcel and saw the boots the first time, I was just thinking 'wow', what great looking boots. And then holding them in my hands, feeling this soft and well made thick leather. Turning then the boots around, looking at the stitching, the sole ... fine pieces of handmade manufactured quality ... and then the scent of this fine leather ... aaaah! :-)
And of course the most important. Was putting the boots on and they're fitting like gloves and feel unbelievable comfortable. These boots are giving me the good feeling of having invested my money for a real quality product, something you get real value for what you paid.
Awesome boots, I love 'em. Chippewa rocks!

I normally wear a womens size 7 or mens size 5 shoe/boot. I have a wide foot and instep. I purchased the chippewa 11" engineer boot in size 5.5 EE. They fit my foot perfect with a thick sock or with an insert and a thin sock. The heel does slide up and down, but I think that's the nature of a pull on boot with no elastic or laces. It would have been nice to have a Chippewa shoe/boot specific size chart. My calf is muscular and the top of the boot gives enough for a comfortable fit. The construction looks and feels solid. Supposedly you can resole these boots which is why I choose them over other brands plus they aren't too heavy or too expensive.

Boots were steel toe yet that was not stated in the description. Upon receipt found that out and was not happy with the purchase. The purchase was fulfilled via Shoe Metro. If you decide to order through them prepare yourself for a nightmare. Shoe Metro would not provide a RMA, even though they are not as described. You must pony up the cost to return the order. You must also use a form on their website that is not clear in direction. Customer service was of no help either. Very slow in response and almost three weeks later before receiving credit. If you are buying through Amazon your expectations are an easy transaction. Save yourself the hassle and wait for Amazon to stock before using their third party sellers.

This is a great quality boot. The leather is heavy duty and the construction is solld. I expect to wear these boots for many years.

I recently purchased Chippewa Boots from PapaShoes. When I received the package the first thing I noticed was one of the boots was a different shape - the sole had been cut or shaped wrong. They looked ridiculous. Also the heels were cheap and plastic. Basically this product was a reject or second and never should have been sent to me - no quality control (get it together Chippewa!) I contacted PapaShoes and they were very understanding - refunded me the shipping one-way as well the full amount for the boots, which was fair.

Conclusion: would definitely shop with PapaShoes again - good service. However, would never purchase Chippewas again.
