Tecovas The Cole Roper Chocolate Caiman Belly

[@moiseszamora4478]

I bought a pair of Dillon boots about 2 years ago and absolutely love them the leather quality was impressive, especially at that price point and they have held up very nicely and do the way the caiman leather looks they do not crease as much as regular calfskin boots. I took this boots to a 3 month trip to Mexico as my primary boot and they took the abuse like a champ from the dirt roads to the dance floor. These boots will turn heads and get compliments. All I would recommend is to brush them down after everywhere and condition once a month with a neutral leather conditioner.

[@stewarthunter7001]

Are these still holding up well for you? I just bought the Dillon and I love it but don’t know if I can only wear it sparingly

[@pranavkamath4329]

Just bought a pair of Tecovas over the weekend! Went in with a mind to buy the caiman cowboy boots, but ended up really liking the pecan ostrich cowboy boots. They’re comfortable so far, but there’s just a bit of pressure on my little toes from the plastic to insert. Hopefully that eases up in time as the boots look killer with some slim, dark denim

[@CJCook]

Cool! It would be nice to check out a Tecovas store.

[@pranavkamath4329]

@@CJCook I’ve been to 3 stores across Texas, bought two pairs. The interior design is pretty cool. They have pretty laid back approach. You sit in big comfy leather chairs, sipping a local beer, water, or another drink while they bring you boots. Each time I went I spent close to an hour standing, walking, and sitting to make sure the boots would be comfortable. They were very accommodating, and the experience was rivaled by few stores I’ve been to.

[@jamessneed8789]

Those ropers are really nice either dressed up or dressed down That's a good boot

[@CJCook]

Yeah, I am very happy with them.

[@brandonh1133]

CJ just bought the pecan Cole. Awesome video in my previous comment I bought the Nash about a week ago and wore them to work on tile for 8 hours a day for three days. Wow they are so comfortable. I have a pair of Ariat work boots for the mud and dirt and general wear on my days off. The Tecovas exotic line is awesome love the comfort and quality.

[@CJCook]

The Pecan is a really nice color!

[@stevenmorra8921]

Wow really nice boot i`m hoping to own a pair some day.

[@CJCook]

thank you Steven!

[@NoblemansXchange]

I like the square caiman skin tiles. It adds a bit of chunkiness to the sleek silhouette. Might have to snag a pair. lol I gotta say. A nice western style boot, button down shirt, and Gentlemen's hat turns you into eye candy. I go like this to the grocery store and begin to feel bad for the hubbies in gym shorts and flip flops while their lady starring me down like a happy meal. My favorite part is being able to add to my lady's confidence knowing she is with a classy dressed partner.

I have the Dillon in the same color it's basically the same boot with the western heel in the same color. I have 3 pairs of Tecovas, this pair and 2 pairs of the Nolan (Lizards). I always wear my boots with cowboy boot socks and noticed all three have the same tight vamp on the right foot. I bought a shoe stretcher and they feel awesome now!

Hey CJ thanks for the video nice job. Just bought the Tecova Nash lizard skin. Looks like I will be buying a pair of caiman as well 😂 dammit.

Thanks for sharing Bro. At those prices, they should call them Terobas, porque te roban el Dinero 🤪

CJ you should do a few shows with cowboy boot styling tips. There is really nothing out there for true style other than dressing like a cowboy. My style is similar to yours with fit jeans and slim fitting shirts etc I am a native New Yorker now living in the south.

[@djsherps6532]

I’ve been wearing western boots since…. But stopped now getting back. I’ve got boots over 15 years that still look good. Really into the ropers now. Do you wear boot wraps to hide the shaft in slim jeans or straight cut pants?

[@djsherps6532]

Oh.. thinner socks best in tecovas ropers and they are very comfortable when broken in!!

[@CJCook]

I wear straight cut trousers.

[@djsherps6532]

Last comment. You should give the goat (Earl) in scotch a try. Extremely comfortable everyday wear that breathes in the warmer parts of late spring-early fall. They wear well and have an oil finish to give a nice look after a bit of wear. I still have love for Lucchese on the special days or in the office

[@SCRAMBY18]

Yep Rios of Mercedes, Lucchese Classics, Black Jack, Rod Patrick even Fenoglio. All actual bootmakers. Tecovas is just a company that sells crappy boots and other leather goods. Cuero, Bachesto, Tecovas and more recently Rujo all just went into Leon to find a factory to make their boots. Thats why they are all so similar in design and construction.

[@CJCook]

@@SCRAMBY18 Yes, I heard Cuero is an exact copy of Tecovas. What do you think of Chisos?

[@jamesjackson4264]

If you can get on their email list they have a warehouse sale every year. This exact shoe goes for $199. I know first hand. Ostrich the same. Friday, Saturday, Sunday sale. Prices go down each day. I usually go on Saturday. I just don’t trust they will have what I want in my size on Sunday. They might be $175 on Sunday who knows. It’s in Dallas this year where I live. But they move to other cities in Texas each year. Then I go to the store for a free cleaning.
