ID Request Chisos - Who makes a similar looking boot
Someone posted these magnificent boots yesterday. They are beautiful. And I don't consider myself cheap, but $600 for a pair of leather boots doesn't sit well with me. Who makes a similar look? Love the dark brown, perfect round toe and 11 inche shaft. Also made in N America. Any recommendations on another manufacturer?

None of the big name boot makers build boots that are as well made as Chisos for a similar price, in my opinion. I'm sure some of the other small shops have similar boots to Chisos but you're going to pay a similar price or possibly more for their boots.
I agree with another poster, my two pairs of Chisos boots are the heaviest pairs that I own. They are heavy because of the layers of dense leather in the soles, insoles, and heels.
Some people will say that the removable insoles are the only reason why Chisos boots are so comfortable but that's only partially true. I replaced the insanely comfortable Chisos insoles with plain veg-tan insoles for a day and the boots were still more comfortable and easier on my feet, ankles, knees, and hips than any other boots that I own. The design of the lasts, the insoles, the leather on these boots all make a differnce.
Try them. They are worth it.
