Customers are mixed about the leather finish. Some mention that the boots are made very well with nice leather and good stitching, while others say that the left and right boot had slightly different leather finishes. The leather is a little on the soft side, and tore in spots. The tongue is made from thick leather and the fold caused some discomfort against their toes.

They're OK....
Good boots, leather is a little on the soft side and has tore in spots, one is pretty deep but not completely through. Soles are holding up very well, but tan layer is cracking and separating from the boot - doesnt seem to affect the soles or integrity yet. Ive worn them for almost a year now in a very light maintenance/office setting. I couldnt see these holding up in a more rigorous environment. thought they would hold up a little better than chinese made boots and last longer than a year based on the price and origin, but it seems they may all be about the same. Very comfortable though. You may just be paying for a name.

I recently got these to replace a pair of Thorogoods that I wear to work. I didn't buy the Thorogoods again because they wore out in a little over a year, which is unacceptable for a boot at that price range. Even my Chinese made Red Wings (The last foreign made pair of boots I ever bought) lasted several years. I like the Chippewas. They need some break in time and a little mink oil, but they are tough as nails and I can tell they were much better crafted than my last pair of boots.

The sizing is fairly simple. I wear a 10 in Corcoran Jump boots/Combat boots, a 10 in Thorogoods and a 10 in Red Wings. In Chippewa I need a 9-1/2 and it's perfect. Carolina boots are that way too if I remember right, but these were designed to run a half-size small for guys who have to wear really thick wool socks to work in. Both pairs of Chippewa boots that I own are this way, so if you wear a certain size in the above pairs, then size it down 1/2 if you just want to wear regular socks to work. I'm in Texas, no need for thick wool socks here.

My feet are narrow and the D width fits fine. If you are normally stretching the limits of a D you may want to size up in width.

Size: 8.5Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I was a little concerned about fit and ordering the correct size before ordering the Chippewa boots. I have read many reviews stating to order a size down, some people complained about the boots being too narrow. I took that advise before ordering red wing heritage boots and actually wished I hadn't. I have always worn a size 9 tennis shoe and 8.5 or 9 dress shoe. Frye boots in 8.5 and I got the red wings in size 8. I was concerned as to what size I should get the Chippewa boots in. I went with 8.5 and couldn't be happier. They fit perfect, aren't as stiff as the red wings, and have a very comfortable insole. I would say they are great quality overall. I was able to wear them all day the first day unlike the red wings which I'm sure are probably going to last a little longer but not sure if wearing them on and off for almost a year now and just now having them start to break in is worth it. Time will tell the true quality of these boots, buts as for now I am very happy. The leather is soft out of the box, and as another reviewer stated they are much lighter then expected. I would say that if you are thinking about buying these ,DO IT.

4.0 out of 5 stars just good, old-fashioned leather footwear

These are solidly made boots. Nothing fancy, just good, old-fashioned leather footwear. From the city to the mountains, I wear nothing else. The laces were a little too long, but that's really no big deal as I easily found a replacement. The only thing I don't like about them is that they are not waterproof, but that's to be expected from leather. If you have to hike in wet conditions, you can always apply a wax coating to the upper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chippewa seems to be the only USA made boot that offers a nice Vibram lug sole
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2017
Verified Purchase
This is an outstanding price for a high quality USA made boot. Chippewa seems to be the only USA made boot that offers a nice Vibram lug sole, and at about half the price of other contenders such as Wolverine 1000 mile, Allen Edmonds, Red-Wing etc it's hard to beat.

These are very comfortable and have a very solid feel. The leather seems to be high quality. Size seems a little bit on the long side, but perfect when worn with some thicker "boot" socks.

This was my 2nd pair of Chippewa boots, the first being a brown colored 8" logger 20090, which I also love, but they are a little substantial for "everyday" wear. For both the Amazon pricing has been outstanding.

One odd note, is that for both pairs I purchased the left and right boot had slightly different leather finish, one shinier than the other. This goes away with the first polish/treatment so not something to worry about, just odd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good boot, definitely needs to be broken in - very tight for first few days
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2016

I got these boots as a work boot.

I wear a size 12 tennis shoe and size 11 in Redwing Iron Rangers and 11 in Wolverine 1000 miles. I had good luck sizing down, so did so in this case. I wear these with thicker socks since they have no insulation.

The initial fit was great on the length, but very stiff to the point that they hurt to even have on. After a few applications of leather honey and wearing for a few days, they broke in and now form to my feet very nicely. So if you get them and they are snug but fit, give them a few days. I almost sent mine back, but I'm glad I didn't.

The laces that come with these boots are a little on the thin side, so I'll eventually replace them.

2.0 out of 5 stars No longer great boots.
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2016

Great pair of boots, especially for the price. However, they run a full size too large. I have had my feet measured for custom dress shoes and wear a true size 10C on my left and a 10B on my right. However I ended up having to go to a 9D. These also fit narrow which I love. They do make B width in these but I couldn't imagine needing to order a narrow.

April 13, 2017 addendum: I have not had the boots for several months. At first they were the best pair of foots I have had. Now the rubberized portion of the boot is seemingly delaminating from the brown leather material. I wear these mostly to the office and they did see some snow over the winter. These boots would absolutely not last for actual work. I love the style and comfort but they are NOT built to last. I am very disappointment and will unfortunately be looking into different brands for an eventual replacement. They did not even last 1 year.

Happy with these boots - nice to have the option of re-soling them down the road. Leather softens up quickly, improving comfort and looks. Be mindful that they are not insulated, and if you plan on using them as winter footwear (as I do), plan on wearing thick socks.
