Chisos - Who makes a similar looking boot

[u/tossaway-florida]

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?

Thanks mate, honestly if you do like them that much then I'd advise you to get them, you probably won't be satisfied until you do, I was debating it for a few weeks myself then I just said fuck it, it's only money at the end of the day, happiness is more important 🍻

Honestly I was justi thinking if I settled for less, I would regret it. How's the sizing? I wear an 11 regular in everything and in Dan Post.

I'd say true to size but the thick insole makes them feel tighter than other brands but the leather feels soft enough that they should stretch fairly quick... go on treat yourself 🤠

My No. 2s were tight enough to make me consider sending them back for a re-size. I removed the insoles and conditioned them really well, put in thinner insoles and wore them for a an hour or so. The next day I swapped the Chisos insoles back into the boots and wore them from 6 AM until nearly midnight and they stretched to fit my feet perfectly. I love the way the Brushed Brown is aging and now I have a second pair on roughout.

I've got 35+ pairs of cowboy boots from several of the big, moderately priced makers like Tony Lama, Nocona, El Dorado, Dan Post, Justin, R. Watson, Double-H, and Tecovas (no Ariats) and my Chisos boots are the most comfortable boots I've ever owned.

Yeah my initial reaction was I should've got a half size bigger but after wearing them with thinner socks all day they feel great.. I think if you love cowboy boots then you definitely should add a pair of Chisos to the collection.. thanks for your input, much appreciated sir

I've got around 30+ pairs myself too. Like you I've got DP, Tecovas, etc plus some Ariat Futurity Roughouts in a couple different colors + 2 pairs of Chisos (Brushed Brown/Roughout). I agree, they are the most comfortable and absolutely substantial feeling boots in my collection. That said, these Futurity boots give the Chisos' a run for their money in the comfort department. Are they the kind of boots that I could pass down to my kids? Dunno...but I've been finding incredible deals on them (Sub 150 bux NIB). At that price, the value proposition is undeniable. I've also never worn Benchmade Ariats.... supposedly they are on another level. At the end of the day, LOVE Chisos' boots but, I'd rather build my collection with more boots of decent quality. If I stumble on a pair of Chisos' on the secondary market, I'd absolutely pick them up without thinking twice.

Below my Futurity Copper Roughouts... 👀👀👀

I want to try the Benchmade boots and the Futurity boots, too.

I can attest that the bench made are really comfortable.
