Chippewa Upland Boots - Pull-Ons (For Men)

Chose these as a neutral look for those business casual times when a western boot is too much. Also for motorcycling. My pair of Chippewa western wellingtons should have prepared me for the quality these boots ooze. The leather is thick and sturdy, but not at all stiff. Leather feel and quality is really beyond comparison, except for my other Chippewas. Boots were comfortable for walking right out of the box, with good support and insole. Leather lining is very soft. These boots will last a long time and are resolable. The sole is good for comfort but I wonder if it will wear quickly at the heel and toe since it's softer rubber or PU. Haven't seen wear in several weeks though. Initially, these boots are very hard to put on. My fit is good--plenty of room in front of the toes and not tight side to side, plus my low volume foot, suggests this is a feature of boots rather than the shape of my feet. They are hard to put on because the zipper in back allows Chippewa to cut the fit very snug over the instep. This makes them better for walking than any other pull-on boot, better than any roper boot I've worn. Keeps the heel down, no flopping while walking. However, this tight instep feels very tight at first, and I struggled to put them on for the first few days. This has eased, but don't be surprised.

i normally wear a size 11.5 2E, On this boot there is not enough distance from the instep to the inside of heel to get my foot in it, it feels like my feet would fit once my heel was down in place, just to tight to get it there. Go up 1 size

I was glad to be able to order another pair of Chippewa boots that were made in the USA! (I know Chippewa is now making boots in China like just about everyone else.) This is the third pair of Chippewa made in USA boots I've owned. The quality is excellent. They're comfortable and durable.

Nice looking boot but wasn't able to really judge the size accurately as they were too small and I couldn't try them on.

so kool!
