What a great boot! Chippewa has hit a World Series Winning Grand Slam with these boots. I am a repeat Chippewa customer, and am familiar with their standards of quality, but this boot was a very pleasant surprise. I was first impressed by the fact that I ordered the boots on Friday, and received them Monday morning with Amazon's standard shipping. I've waited longer for some online companies just to process my order for shipment. When I opened the box I was both pleased and concerned with the leather and sole. Pleased that both were high quality, sturdily constructed and looked like they would last a very long time. Concerned that it was going to be a long, painful process to break these boots in. My concerns were completely unfounded; as, when my feet went into these boots they felt like I had been wearing them for years. The fit was better than I could have hoped it would be, and truly feel like they were formed to a last of my foot. True to length/width (11 wide EE), snug and supportive without heel lift or tight spots of any kind. Although I have a high instep, there was plenty of room in the shaft to get my foot in and the leather was sturdy but forgiving. Most off the shelf Western style boots are a real struggle for me to get into, with narrow shafts and stiff leather. When I walked across the room I found the soles to be flexible yet stable with the right amount of heel height. Both the soles and heels are shock absorbing as well as non-slip. The foot area and foot-bed is supportive and very comfortable. The color and distressed finish give these boots the look of a very high-end pair of well cared-for old favorites. The fact that Chippewa can resole and refinish these, assures me that someday they will be my "old" favorites. I have been wearing these for about three weeks now, and they have become even more comfortable. After wearing them for hours on end while standing, as well as walking long distances, they have become my "new" favorites, hands down! At one third the cost of an entry level custom fit boot they are well worth the money. Do your feet a favor and give them a try. I can only award 5 stars, but my feet rate them "Five Stars Squared".

These are the tuffest boots I have ever owned, still trying to break in after 4 mo. and wear every day.
They do seem to run small so order next size up from other western boots, or the same size if ordering based on shoe size you wear.

buoght these boots for a motorcycle trip to Arizona. They fit nice and were comfortable even in the high heat. I would recomend these boots.
