Yeah, I didn't like the cardboard either, but I watched the Chisos video where they cut some boots apart & he said that layer was vegetable cured leather, but seeing @Chisos reply they do in fact use cardboard.

What happens when the cardboard wears down and disintegrates

[@gusjimenez78]

I bought a pair of No. 2 in Black years ago while I was in Texas visiting my parents in the hill country. And I can honestly say that they are not only well made, they are very comfortable. I've been been wearing cowboy boots since a tween and have worn many styles and brands from Justin, Tony lama and lucchese and now Chisos. The one nice thing that I love about these boots would be that there wasn't any breaking in period like other brands and I was able to wear them all day and night. That old saying," You get what you pay for" heck you get more than you pay for is true when it comes to Chisos boots. Just a Tejanos opinion.

[@Chisos]

So glad you're lovin' your Chisos, Gus! Thank you for sharing those kind words. -Will

Do you wear them with the insert or without? Seems weird to me to buy a boot with, essentially, a sneaker insert. Have you tried wearing them without, if you do wear them with the insert.

[@R.J._Lewis]

I don't always agree with your assesments of boots, but this one seems like you've hit the nail on the head. As far as the compressed cardboard layer, I don't think that's a negative because, like you mentioned, it is a replacement layer, it is an addition that has a purpose. I wish the price were lower so that I could justify buying a pair, but I do think the price point is totally correct because you are getting such high quality. I'm just broke.

[@konacopia]

You reviewed the Chisos boots better than the Lucchese this time around, definitely going more into the detailing of the materials...you actually mentioned the pegging this time (though you never explained the importance of the pegging, and why more pegs are generally equated with better construction). Cutting the boot in half is very revealing...it's what got me hooked on your videos during covid. However, there were details you apparently missed with regard to the footbed materials. After a number of us commented that they could have possibly used cork instead of the cardboard, Chisos thankfully commented that they also use a small amount of cork in the footbed to support the front portion of the leather insole after the shank transition, though further up they use cardboard. Cork is naturally antibacterial/antifungal (it's why cork is ideally used in bottling wine) and adds longevity & comfort as the boot is broken in. There are a lot of other details you can go further into explaining why certain techniques are used in cowboy boot construction, and I think it's only fair that you do so because there are a lot of processes that go into making a quality cowboy boot, especially well-made cowboy boots which are made to last for decades (apparently, today's Lucchese aren't as well made as they used to be in the '80s & '90s). It's why a lot of vintage handmade cowboy boots have become regarded as heirloom luxury goods. I think your "scientific" methodology of commenting on the thickness of the leather tells only part of the story because premium leathers/skins like lizard or ostrich aren't going to be thick as common animal hides. It would also be good to comment on the marketing push a lot of newer companies that keep highlighting about their boots being "handcrafted" (which in itself is better than a machine-made cowboy boot in terms of quality), but it's not the same labor-intensive quality level as a "handmade" boot which requires more hands-on precision at every step of construction. The art of cowboy boot making originated in Mexico, so people need to understand that "made in Mexico" can be arguably just as good as any cowboy boot made in the USA, especially the handcrafted & handmade boots.

It is nice having a fella, on KZbin...to help the common man, decide the best price point to quality boot out there. Chisos...looks to be my new go-to boot for life. Thanks for the cut up...and thanks to the owner of Chisos, for allowing, and paying for, the cut-up. A man who will give away his product, and allow it to be scrutinized, is worth its weight in gold.

Not too bad, the Lucchese look more and more overpriced. However instead of the compressed cardboard they could have just put a layer of cotton canvas between the layers of leather, that prevents squeaking as well and won't fall apart with moisture.

Correct, that's an option we tried! But our number one goal was comfort: from the removable insole, to the leather, to the heel counter, to the arch support. And the compressed cardboard plays a key part in elevating the leather insole to curve the way we like it. We're always experimenting, though, and know that we can improve over time! -Will

@@Chisos Cork could be a better alternative to compressed cardboard. It's naturally antibacterial/antifungal, which is why they're used for bottling wine. As @Rouge -GSD had noted here in the comments, it gives the same effect and adds longevity with comfort as it's broken in. I'm curious as to how cost-effective it would be to make this change, or maybe it would be unnecessary if your insole already has embedded antibacterial properties (if they don't already). I've owned (and still have) handmade & handcrafted cowboy boots I acquired in the 1980s & 1990s, from Tony Lama, Rios de Mercedes, Lucchese & El Dorados. My latest acquisition is a pair of handmade JB Hills. I appreciate this latest review from Rose Anvil in spite of their limited understanding of what makes a quality boot...for example, leather thickness isn't necessarily as important as the leather quality (depending on the intended use of the boot), particularly since most exotic skins are thin in comparison to more common animal hides. I've never owned cowboy boots with insoles, so I'm intrigued by how Chisos boots are constructed with the intention of having insoles. When I get a chance, I hope to try on a pair at my local western apparel store. I like that you're a family-owned operation, so I look forward to seeing more styles being offered by your brand.

@@konacopia We use a small amount of cork in the footbed to support the front portion of the leather insole after the shank transition. Further up, we use the cardboard. So the compressed cardboard is in addition to the work, not as a replacement for it. Additionally the top layer of leather on the insole has mild antimicrobial properties. However, we do recommend you remove the comfort insole after particularly sweaty days to allow the entire boot to air out. Appreciate your experience and feedback.

Im proud to support a quality business that be a usa company or some boots made in Mexico Im glad the chisos workers in Mexico make a decent living wage compared to other jobs. I support their frind idc were they are in the world

[@AZREDFERN]

I would prefer an American made boot. But I'm fine as long as it's made in a boot wearing country. Especially when it's being made the right way. Buying a Chinese made boot is like listening to IGN's "firearm historian" who's never owned a gun in his life because he's european.

[@dufferdude1205]

I just bought a pair of these. In some part because of the info from your video. I wanted a good resolable boot that is good for years. I should get it in a day or so. Hoping for the best. I’ve gotten them and yes they are both comfortable and compared to my other boots, which were not cheap, they are much better. From the pull ons are the top to the sole. Very happy with these. Great for my posture as well. I’ve had multiple back surgeries and I appreciate good footwear.

[@jake2011rt]

The Chisos are half the price, but the Luccheses were an exotic leather. Dairy Cow hide really isn't exotic in any way. Obviously, that doesn't account for such a huge price difference, but it should account for a couple hundred bucks. I'll mention it again as I did on the Lucchese video--You really ought to take a look at the cowhide/calfskin options from them. They are quite a bit cheaper ($500-$700), which makes them a better comparison to these.

[@meredithsmith9967]

While I do enjoy these videos I do agree with you completely. You really can't compare the dairy cow Chisos to an exodic Lucchese. That's like comparing a one hundred dollar cowboy hat to a thousand dollar cowboy hat. They are both cowboy hats made very similarly but the materials themselves are not a fair comparison.

[@Ryansrangereport]

Bingo. Chisos full quill cost more than Lucchese.

[@orlog3343]

The Lucchese boots he did were not exotic leather.

[@Arto257]

Might've just sold me a pair of boots. Think I know where my next Christmas bonus is going

[@MrKinghuman]

Lucchese boots are popular for a reason. They way they break-in. Feel and fit, just bc it doesn't have extra leather doesn't make them bad. People like them and there's a reason. I've never worn a pair of cowboy boots, but I recently bought a pair of jim greens and their built isn't at the same level as some of my more expensive boots and they feel like they were designed around my feet. I'm a jim green fan boy. They ain't pretty, but they work wonders

[@brandonivey2001]

Love the “the used” band shirt. One of my favorite bands! Great video!!

[@kmotch]

If only I wasn’t an Englishman… I could never pull off this superb boot in the shires!!!

[@NCrdwlf]

If it's worth anything I live on the east coast of the US and couldn't pull it off either . I've wanted a pair of cowboy boots forever, I might have to break down and get these .

[@kmotch]

@@NCrdwlf do it for us both Greg… you got this.

[@toddpalmer7790]

@@NCrdwlf I initially hesitated wearing my cowboy boots to work here on the SE coast of the US. But, man, when I finally did…the looks I got and the compliments that came in…and still do…wow, it was amazing. I’ve not worn anything but cowboy boots ever since.

[@JeremyGiese]

Dig the shirt. That was one of their best albums imo. Also cool learning about all the different cowboy boots, since I don’t wear them

[@user-kh6zu8vq4r]

You should check out some origin USA boots

[@brianpowers3814]

Thanks for the review, I ended up buying a pair for my wife and a pair for myself. These are awesome boots and are very comfortable prior to a break-in period.

[@Chisos]

Thank you, Brian! Appreciate your support, sir! -Will

[@arthas4870]

I feel as if having a boot review sponsored by the boot company you're reviewing has to influence what you're saying a little. I really respect your expertise and knowledge and I love watching the reviews, but I'm sort of uncomfortable with sponsored reviews because I think it degrades your integrity a little. Does anyone else feel this way?

[@arthas4870]

(I should also say, I don't mind the kind of sponsors you're taking. You seem really enthusiastic about the brands you're getting sponsored by, and that's great! I'd just prefer the review video to be unsponsored, and then later videos could be sponsored by the boot brands.)

[@StoneysWorkshop]

no helps him save money.

[@iconboy1]

His commentary was honest though? He's just matter of factly describing the boot

[@Geoffroditis]

He’s said before that he doesn’t let sponsorships influence his reviews. He makes sure they know that he’s going to be fully honest when they send him product.

[@chrisbondi5887]

I might agree with you but this is rose advil not just some random KZbinr it's pretty obvious by his expressions in the way he talks this isn't an ad it's him being excited because the people who made the boots helped him pay for it duh

[@thomaslengel3169]

I've had all levels of Luchesse boots form 1886 to the custom $2500+, several pairs of Tecovas, Justin, Ariat. The all come in second to my Chisos. By far the most comfortable, well-made boots I own. I wear them almost daily. Chisos you RAWK!

[@Chisos]

Wow, so thrilled to hear that, Thomas! Working hard to serve you, sir!

[@xHEYxITSxME]

lets please see some Anderson bean boots. great boots hand made in Texas.

[@skyking4501]

I’m impressed with the Chisos boot. How about doing something on Cowtown boots made in El Paso. I have several pairs of dress boots from there. One ostrich, one crocodile and one eel.

[@deltaunder1872]

I just bought my first pair of Tecovas, and they're nice, but I wanted one other style to round out a boot for every occasion. This video sold me on Chisos so when I visit family in Austin, I have time set aside to stop in and get a pair.

[@cosgarcia]

After all the episodes this was the review that sold me, this is the boot I will be purchasing.

[@Chisos]

😍 we're here when you're ready!

[@JackDonohue-gp8et]

I got a pair soon after the video went up, I haven’t worn them much over the last few months but man when I do they are amazing, just really comfortable

[@wildmanjones9817]

I got the Chisos No. 5, these are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. It feels like I am walking on pillows or something. They are definitely my favorite boots of all time. The only thing I don’t like is that the red leather inside the boots rubs off some how and turns my white socks red, but that is the only issue. If you are on the fence, I would say go ahead and get them, you won’t regret it

[@marcomcdowell8861]

Never thought of wearing Cowboy boots, but those Chisos look nice. I might need to get a pair to style and profile in.

[@zeuloa]

Not sure if you’ve done a Heritage Boot Co. boot… made in Mexico as well and similar price range. Would love to see the comparison.

[@djmuller2349]

Great video! Chisos and the team are a very cool happening. I’d like to see Black Jack boots, which are my favorite, and traditionally made for sure.

[@Ives1776]

I hope they someday start offering more colors in their roughout options.

[@Chisos]

What color would you like to see?

[@Ives1776]

@@Chisos Definitely a darker brown.

[@bonesskole]

Sendra boots is a Spanish company that make amazing cowboys and bike boots. I bought a pair of biker boots 30 years ago and I had to change the soles 3 times bat the boot itself is still superb. It will be nice to see how Sendra boots compare with other brands.

[@bigjohnson9561]

I grew up wearing cowboy boots made in Mexico. I started off with brands like Jaca , Rudel, and graduating to Montana. All were excellent boots so it doesn’t surprise me to see the quality put into Chiso boots.

[@jjramz6618]

Thanks for bringing some of these smaller boot makers to our attention.

[@Chisos]

😊

[@joe3379]

Thank you Weston, awesome review. Thanks for listening to our feedback 😊

[@mattj.3214]

Great video. I really enjoy the cowboy boot analyses. How about cutting into a few pairs of Double-H boots? They sell a few models that fall somewhere between a classic cowboy boot and a more work-oriented western boot and it would be interesting to see how they are put together.

[@josefwitt9772]

Watched this video when it came out and set a notification for when the #2 in my size and color were back in stock. Just bit the bullet and I'm looking forward to adding these to the collection: goat Tecovas square, goat Rujo J, cow Cuero rubber sole, ostrich Tecovas slightly used from ebay, and soon this really nice pair from a cool small company. Had to save cash to get 'em, but I'm sure it's well spent. If you're going to throw down that sort of money, you might as well spend it with a company that does right by their employees, their customers, and conservation too. "Buy once, cry once" and have a quality, traditionally handmade item that reflects our collective heritage and is made on our continent where they always have been. Now I'll just have to force myself to keep those at home when I'm out in the country splitting wood and doing work that could mess 'em up too much. Or just get some patina on there if they're really all people say they are 😆

[@camerongunn7906]

People might disagree, but you ain't "wrong." And from what I can tell you're pretty objective. You like what you like and you have your opinion but at least you're open about it. It's because of your Channel that I got my first pair of Nick's boots and now it's looking like I need a pair of Chisos. Keep up the great work!

[@tomjones4318]

Finally a cowboy boot with a real insole. I don't need cowboy boots anymore but I wish those guys the best. dc is trying to crush small business and the middle class here in America so I understand. Maybe they'll make work boots someday.
