@@Reno420alex I’ve got a pair cut apart on my bench. But if that’s what you like then more power to ya

[@123dven]

I wear the #1 in roughout, and I bought them smaller than recommended so I could replace the comfortable insole with an insole I cut from cheap cow belly scrap leather. Even without the insoles, I find myself trying to keep them on when I go to bed. I am not talking about forgetting to take them off, I mean, I consciously consider leaving them on! Now, when I first bought them, the right foot was very tight, but after a good dry break-in period. I am happy to put these boots on every day. I chose Chisos because of the traditional build and loved the idea of having retired dairy cow leather instead of leather from another underutilized animal. One of the biggest selling points for me however, was the unique stitching that looked nothing like the ones found on the competition.

[@jimyoung9262]

I want to thank Chisos for sponsoring this video on whether or not Chisos is the best cowboy boot.

[@dewboy13]

Several manufacturers have given him boots to tear apart. The worse the boot, the less the manufacturer will give him boots. Probably because the know all the corners they cut, and would rather not help in exposing it themselves. I personally own a pair of these very same boots, and they are indeed fantastic. He gave a good review, because they are fantastic. If you haven't, you should check out his cowboy boot series. You'll see for yourself what other companies are doing. Chisos is by far superior to all the boots he's previously dissected.

[@jimyoung9262]

They actually look really good.

[@dewboy13]

@@jimyoung9262 I absolutely love mine. They are good looking boots, on top of the comfort and build. Some people have had a bad experience, with a bad boot making it through to the customer, but there's always a low percentage of that from any manufacturer it seems.

[@johnadams8338]

@@BombproofCraftsman Nick's are made in house. JKs and Drew's are made in Leon. Not that Leon made boots are bad in any way. But, I'm way more interested in the similarities and differences between the Nick's and the Chisos.

[@BombproofCraftsman]

@@johnadams8338 totally agree with that. I made the switch away from western boots to heritage & PNW type for more support & comfort. I’ve been really tempted lately to try some packers so I can get back the western style. I just assumed that the Drew’s being made in Leon would be the same construction as everything else made there. So hearing nicks is making them in house is an exciting prospect.

I actually bought and returned a pair of chisos. Mine started having heel separation 1st time i wore them out of the house, also had some nails that werent fully sunk in. Chisos to them back for repair then sent them back to me without fixing either issue. About 3 week turnaround. I reached back and they did do a return for them. Customer service was good, but not fixing the issue and wasting my time left a bad taste for me. I ended up going tecovas. Been happy with them.

I’ve heard the same thing about tecovas. I like my tecovas but they don’t fit well because they don’t offer narrow.

@@evangonsalves4347 I got mine in October, and they've held up beautifully. No issues with construction on the pair I got. It's strange hearing how bad this particular repair (non repair) was handled. I know their customer service is phenomenal. Guessing it was some strange fluke, and they got sent back before any work was actually done. Sorry to OP for such a bad experience with Chisos. Mine have been fantastic and super comfortable, and have had no quality issues. Maybe gice them another shot in the future. I really think it was a fluke all around.

[@jasonstrange8726]

Please review Anderson Bean/Rios of Mercedes. Both American made with Rios being slightly higher end. The Beans might not have the best overall materials, but they are the most comfortable I’ve ever owned. If you really want to make things interesting get a pair of Becks. They are supposed ti be the real deal endorsed by working cowboys. They still use a 40 penny nail for a shank!

[@russellcarrigan1249]

Yes. Add Becks to that list as well!

[@gunrockTA0811]

Definitely needs to review boots from the Rios family. I love my ABs. Add Fenoglio to the list as well. Nothing against a Mexican made boot but there’s some great stuff coming out of Texas for less money than this boot in the video.

[@martinez1950]

Tried two pairs of Rios, the shaft is made for people that don't have calves...

[@karenstein8261]

I really wish your analysis included some consideration of the intended use of the boot. For example, by design cowboy boots tend to have higher heels, rigid shanks, and relatively thick, hard soles. Not very good for walking, but wonderful if you spend your day in stirrups (or on a ladder, or standing on concrete).

[@jennypaxton8159]

Or walking, but somewhere other than a street or sidewalk. Plus, the leather soles are ideal for puncture resistance (e.g. if you have the terrible luck to step on a horse crippler cactus or something) and good traction on dry sand and scrub, while the uppers are to keep out sand and protect your ankles from thorns (not rattlesnakes necessarily). The lack of laces is so you won’t get tangled up in the stirrup, thrown, and possibly dragged to your death by a freaking out horse (the natural state of horses, it sometimes seems). The stitching on the shaft is to keep it from slumping and slouching down, and if you’re doing that anyway, why not have it look nice?

[@Beef5]

He said, "a thinner shank so not as good for standing on ladders all day." Thinner shank gives a little bit more." That means more comfort for walking and high arch support because of its shape. It's basically a slightly modified French tip. Knowing cowboy boots, a French tip is good for everything. Stirrups, style and walking. "They have a pillow top mattress for an insert". "They are the most comfortable cowboy boot available". Hope this helps solve the riddles.

[@Shift2Movies]

I've found that cowboy boots are unbeatable for traction in walking in thick sand, like in a riverbed for instance; (because of the high heel, it just digs in).

[@heyitsbroski]

It's a nice comfortable boot to dress up or wear casually. You can walk around town, get your groceries, run errands, etc. No one in their right mind would use this beautiful boot as a work boot. You can buy $200 Ariat boots for that.

[@silaspham127]

That cross section is just downright gorgeous

[@drd8251]

I fell down the cowboy boot rabbit hole a couple years ago. Ended up buying about 12 pairs: Tecovas at first; then Lucchese; then Chisos. I was most disappointed with the Lucchese QC issues: imperfect stitching on most and shaft diameter on one pair. I agree the Chisos were the most comfortable. And customer service was outstanding. But since then I’ve become more of a heritage boot fan, filling up my closet with boots by Red Wing, Allen Edmonds, Alden, Viberg and Division Road/Whites collaborations. I’ll likely never buy another pair of cowboy boots, but this video may persuade me to revisit wearing my Chisos #2 once in a while.

[@alexblanchard91]

I like the look of the hand dye.

[@Foche_T._Schitt]

I had a pair of plain Tony Lama's from the 90's that I wore 1 month shy of 10 years. They were so broke in it was like wearing slippers. Wore them riding quads, wore them wading through creak, wore them through mud, wore them operating heavy equipment. One day the shank popped through the insole so I stopped wearing them. They were like 100 dollars in the early/mid 90s ($235 today) and made in the USA. I had the heals and sole savers replaced multiple times. Some day I'll get them repaired but the quality of boots today for that price don't compare.

[@gingebrien2408]

I have to say I love my Chisos. Rarely take em off.

[@LT3Fluffy]

I use chisos to actually ride horses and they're probably the toughest leather soled boot I've worn and are great to ride in because of how stiff and thick the leather on the bottom but the heel is super high. I'm used to roper heels for walking around. And they look great but I like the hand dyed leather look But that heel is rough.

[@Chisos]

Love that you use 'em for what they are intended for! Cheers -Will

[@Shift2Movies]

I agree, the heel is high. I had the No. 2.

[@mauwalker]

I presently wear a pair of Hyer Rose Hill rough out boots. They’re the same kind of all leather except they use a PVC spur ledge, and they have the same kind of insole. Super comfortable and well made in León, and they go for about $350.

[@bbrebozo6417]

I generally use either Ariat or Chisos insoles in my Tecovas or Cuadra boots. Those are available separately. I have a narrow foot so I get the same length and bring my foot up to compensate for the wider width of these off the shelf boots (they’re D and I’d need a B or a C). It’s a lot cheaper than buying a Chisos boot just for the comfort (plus Chisos don’t do zip boots and only do ostrich as an exotic skin). I don’t do ranch work in my boots so I gravitate towards exotic skins.

[@caleb420420]

I'd love to see you cut apart JKs new western line of boots. Also I own two pairs of Chisos No2s, one is for dress up only and the other one I used for light medium work but I wore through the outsoles in 6 months and had to get them resolved, so I'd recommend Chisos for the casual use to light duty use only.

Stopped by the shop in Austin, TX last year and bought me a pair of No. 1s Roughout. Glad I didn't do mail order, had to try on about 3 different sizes before I got a fit. Very narrow, so had to go up a size and a half. Love 'em.

Just ordered my first pair of Chisos, supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I have high hopes but not holding my breath because I have a wide foot.

[@waynenoll1967]

Well, I got my ropers and at first they seemed tight but after trying them on for about the third time, they slipped too much. I guess I should have just exchanged them for a half size down, but they just didn’t feel right. Every review I read raved about how comfortable they were but that wasn’t the case for me. Maybe it’s just the shape of my feet, whatever. They were beautiful and extremely well made, but, like I said, something just didn’t “feel right “, and for $600 I think that it should be a “Wow! These are amazing “ moment right out of the box. But they weren’t for me, so I sent them back. Nothing against Chisos or the way the boots are made, just weren’t comfortable on my feet. It’s a shame because I really wanted to love them.

[@posstenuse]

I own a pair of chisos snip toes in rough out and love them. The leather seems high quality and they are comfortable on the foot. Only thing that bothers me is where the vertical seem meets the horizontal one, it rubs on my ankle. Their customer service told me that should go away after break in, I hope they’re right. My other favorite boots, of which I own many pairs, are Ranch Roads. They recently “paused” operation so probably not going to cut those in half. It’s a shame because their boots are very comfortable and seem like good quality as well.

[@eduardocastellanos9197]

I have Lucchese’s, Ariats, Tecovas and Justin Boots. Personally Lucchese’s have the best fit, that white lining often feels more rigid as it grips your foot and reduces the boot from sliding. Ariats have the best value for your money it’s a good shit kicker. Tecovas are nice, I’ve learned to love them, their socks are pretty good. Justin Boots are one of my favorites, they’re also shit kickers, but they stay pretty for a long time. Materials are very thin/cheap and vary depending on their model. They have some thing called J-Flex where they have somewhat of a cloth/foam lining. Not a fan, but I think they would serve as an interesting cut in half for this series.

[@wilfredprins9718]

I had ordered Ariat's, online I know I should go to a shop but having no car and the nearest shop a couple of hours away by bus online was the easiest way. online they look beautiful, a kind of worn old brown leather. when they arrived they turned out to be dark brown, high gloss. nothing near the advertisement. Ariat claims it being a natural product, colors can change. (something like selling a dark blue jeans with ironing folds as a stonewashed)

[@dewboy13]

I've bought one pair of Justin boots. They were the worst boots I've ever owned. Not even a month into it, bot heal counters were collapsed. The tread started separating from the sole. 3 months in, I had to cement the sole back onto the boot 2 x's. As I wore them, and bear in mind I really take care of my boots) by the tenth month, I had re cemented the boots on 4 times, collapsed heal counters, both boots split on the side seems (where the round piping is) Justin has a 1 year warranty, I didn't even bother taking them up on that, because I was so disgusted by my experience. Worst boot I've ever worn. Are there any particular models of Justin's you would recommend? I'm hoping that a higher price boot, actually gives you higher quality.

Hey Weston, the reason cowboy boots crush your toes is you need narrow or a boot with a low instep. Cowboy boots need to be tight on the instep new. I have the same issue, and I bought narrow redwing pecos true to size 14C and they fit my instep better. Chisos and others only make D width, so their boots kinda suck for anyone without D width normal feet.

For the money, I would wear these as a dress boot but I wish they made a boot with a cutter toe style. The Chisos #2 is like a medium toe which is fine for casual wear in my opinion but not for dressy occasions. I get why they did this. More people would wear boots daily for casual wear.

Would love to see a review of the new JK Western boots

[@gsdlvr123]

Nice video…I’ve commented before on Chisos boots. I’m old (Boomer), worn boots all my life and I own a horse farm. Up until about 20 years ago, lucchese was the go to boot. While they still make a nice custom boot and several of their handmade products are still nice quality, for the most part they are relying on reputation. Unfortunately or fortunately many folks don’t know the difference and honestly it probably doesn’t matter. However if you’re looking to get a genuine value Chisos are a safe bet. I do like more styles - I own the 3 snip toe boots offered by Chisos- and for that reason I looked hard for other brands (offering snip or cutter toes). For Styles and a great product I like Heritage Boots - they make a wonderful selection of vintage styles and a great oiled leather boot (Apache I believe). They are a hit and miss with products and often the wait times for a specific boot is a long wait. Their quality is terrific. Black Jack makes a tremendous boot and they offer customized boots that are terrific. However the wait time is around a year…At my age that’s a heck of a risk. Chisos remains- in my opinion- by far the best value off the shelf basic boot. I would say that if the boot was 800-1000.

The worlds best western boot is one that is custom made to fit the individual by an old school cobbler that doesn't cut corners or use cheap materials.

Stetson cowboy hat and some Chisos No.2 now you styling.

[@delcrow696]

Rujo, Capitan, Cuero, JK Western, R Watson.

[@WWIIAirsoftGuy]

I'd be interested in a Rujo cut, very similar to Tecovas, but (according to their customer service), they don't have composites in the toe or counter.

Most if not all arch support is uncomfortable for me. I have flat feet so something pushing up on the center of the foot is an odd feeling. Some arch support even keeps the font of the foot from even touching the insole or foot bed. Or some arch support causes great amounts of pain .

[@trevorgwelch7412]

Are Tony Lamas any good ???

[@mmerritt143]

Would love to see a test of Rocketbuster boots. Thank you!

[@zacharycash6975]

I promise I’m not trolling and I sincerely appreciate these videos. I would have an incredibly difficult time paying more than twice what I paid for my Double H Jases for a boot not manufactured in the US. I’m not willing to chop mine in half and maybe there are massive differences in how they’re constructed. I’m on my feet pretty much all day every day and I’ve never owned a more comfortable pair of shoes or boots than the Double H. Before I get attacked I understand global parts, blah blah blah but at the end of the day I’m supporting US manufacturing. Just my $.02

[@jennypaxton8159]

Hondo and Black Jack boots are supposed to be a step up from the Tony Lama and Lucchese level. You could also dive into the waters of the really schmancy boots, like Stallions.

[@SCTitan06]

Hondo is certainly not above Lucchese. Black Jack is at a similar level as Lucchese for the most part just like Rios of Mercedes.

[@jennypaxton8159]

@@SCTitan06 Maybe that was true of Lucchese once, but it, along with Justin, Nocona, and Tony Lama, is owned by Bershire Hathaway now. Its only real advantage now is its name and what remains of its reputation, as far as I can tell.

Red Wing/Pecos 1155 has been my favorite every day for ages. Tried Justin Ropers and they were pure garbage. Ariats have been just OK. Currently trying Tecovas, and have been pleasantly surprised. Chisos will be my next purchase.

[@aldo56]

You should also cut the Durango Cowboy Boot by UNMARKED. Also made in Mexico at a similar price point. I personally own a pair and i looove them, super comfortable and beautiful looking high quality boots.

[@triggerjim13]

Would love to see you review some of the Double H cowboy work boots. Looking to possibly buy a pair to replace my Wolverines. I've heard good things, but would enjoy your analysis.

[@adamC82]

Should try Rios of Mercedes, Anderson Bean, or Olathe. All made in Mercedes Texas.

[@williamolliges2622]

I’d like to see how Anderson Bean holds up under the knife. I’ve ridden horses in them and brought them back up to going out on the town. They’re made in the USA, and run about $450 for a basic cow skin riding boot. Mine from over ten years ago seem to be traditionally constructed with room for an insole. They typically run a shoe heel, so the ramp effect isn’t as severe. I wish they had a spur ledge, but they don’t, which is strange for a boot marketed at actual cowboys (horse people). It’s a tragedy that Olathe isn’t what it used to be.

[@berkelium247]

You should do J.K boots cowboy boots as well. Because those are priced pretty competively at 400-500$ range

[@basedury]

These look super nice, but can someone explain how you can do a "review" when that company sponsors the video?
