In this video I got a pair of roughout cowboy boots from Chisos. I go over the details of the boot, and give my thoughts on it. I also have an interview with the owner Will Roman where we talk about the inspiration and design of the boots.

Regarding your fitment issue - you can make the boot fit tighter under the vamp without making the toebox tighter by adding layers under the heel only. You can get heel-only insoles like Dr Schools, or you can do what I do and make my own insoles. It's easy and will work far superior to any factory insole.
You just go to the craft store and get some thin leather, some sheets of quality felt, and some adhesive spray. Cut the leather into the shape of your insole (this will be what your foot touches.) Then underneath that, you layer the felt in staggered layers - the first layer covers the entire bottom. The second layer goes from heel to balls of feet. The third layer covers only the heel area. The forth layer covers 3/4 of the heel. The fifth layer 1/2 of the heel. And the sixth layer covers 1/3 of the heel. This creates a thick insole at the heel which tapers to thin at the toes. You can adjust the position and thickness of the layers to what feels good to you. And you can make the boot tighter by adding layers of felt, or looser by removing layers of felt. The more you raise the heel of your insole, the tighter it will be over the bridge of your foot. The felt will crush to it's final thickness after wearing for a couple days, so you might find you will have to add a layer or two before it's dialed in perfect.
I buy boots that fit loose because I know I will be dialing in the fit with my custom insoles.
Awesome tutorial. I’ve been looking for something like this…
Beats my thin, thick, thickest socks method. 😂
I’ve worn Chisos for over a year now , owning #2s, and #6s.
They are hands down the best fit and most comfortable boot I’ve ever owned !! I’m a chisos fanboy for Life !! ❤🔥💪🏻
😍
I love all your videos, I bought 2 pairs of Chisos #2 a couple years ago (brown and black), the best boots I've ever bought, well made, look great, so comfortable right from the start, worth every penny. Greetings from Winnipeg, Canada from a guy who LOVES Texas.
Killer video man! Love the review. Keep them coming! Can't wait for the next one!
Thank you, i will try to not have the next one be a week late like this one lol
Awesome interview buddy. Chisos roughout will probably be my next boot purchase. Bring more interviews if possible, its refreshing to get an inside look at the industry. I've worn cowboy boots my whole life and half a collection of 56 pair. 🤠😎👍
Great built boot. Top quality and I love the pair of number #2 I purchased. Now the other side of the coin. Unfortunately Chisos is a D Boot Builder. The only boot they make in a EE is the #2. They have a limited selection of styles. I wish Chisos the very best and hope they continue to grow.
This was a great video. I really appreciate the explanation of the rough out. I’ve never gotten that explanation before. Thanks so much.
Great review, love my Chisos… have the same ones and they do just keep looking better the more you wear them. Also have the No 2’s and they are great too.
That’s a good looking pair of boots. I bought a pair of Double H square toe rough out boots a couple of years ago. Rough out was a bit more than I expected but I still liked them. Two years later they’re still like new, they’re just not comfortable. The round and snip toe have been growing on me lately. I really like these, going to look into them and add them to my Christmas list.
I loved the part with water resitant test ! You convinced me ! :)
Love the video. You're a real dude and it shows.
Chisos is the best. By far my favorite cowboy boot brand.
Very nice looking boot. Reminds me of Clint's boots in the the hang em high trilogy
Great review, iI'm learning a lot! I love wearing cowboy boots. Greetings from the Philippines!
I find the insoles challenging, they change the dynamic of the fit , that’s all brands though.
Very good review and interview, and of course a cool pair of boots that i really LOVE THEM!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😜😜
i use the pull tabs for um the little hook things uh the rock climbing things
Man such an Awsome and detailed review brother again great job.
I definitely have boots that I love but that I can only choose to wear for a limited time as opposed to other boots that I can wear all day.
Thanks man! Im glad you enjoyed it. It was a lot longer so i had to cut a lot of stuff lol.
Man i feel yah, i have so many boots I dont know what to do with them all
@@smackdadious yes sir same here but we’re always hooked on buying more,
as long as the videos it was though you pieced it well together and if you make a mistake, you just make a really funny joke about it and that makes it just that much more enjoyable.
Awesome stuff brother.
@@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663 thank you man! here's to making every video better than the last!
Those are great looking boots.. and I won a pair of Chisos in a contest earlier this year. But I thought all Chisos were roper style (and not my style), so I sold the $545 gift certificate (for $425). Lol! Oh well, guess I should have looked at the website closer. Next time!
Great review
Very informative and entertaining. I might go to their website and check out a pair of boots myself.🤠😎👍
Thank you, i definitely tried to make this a bit more fun than previous videos.
If you got the cash, do it! Let me know if you decide to pick one up which one you ended up with!
I have a question about their inventory. It seems like their boots have been out of stock for AGES whenever I check and has been for months. Will that be changing soon?
Omg I love those!
Man I’ve had my finger on the trigger on those for awhile. Love the snip toe, but unsure about rough out, it’s not super popular here in Central CA. If they don’t come out in brushed brown here pretty quick I’m gonna try that rough out. Lovin my #2’s though in the meantime ! Thanks for the review smack !
Highly recommend roughout leather, very durable and stylish. If you know they will fit good, snagg them. They also have the #5 in black leather. Also the number 1 and 2 have roughout now!
I used to be on the fence about roughout too. It’s a nice change from smooth leather and it doesn’t crease (because it’s not noticeable due to the nature of roughout) !
Chisos makes a black snip toe boot!
Hoped you’d discuss sizing in your video 😅 great episode though
Nice collection of boots for sure. the Chisos i favor alot .
do you go for "just right" or "100% comfortable" ? have you worn them with thin nylon dress socks ? if you haven't then you should,
you'll see a huge different compare to darn tough or regular socks .
If i like the fit ill get it. And i dont like really thin socks because I wear through them within a day.
Hermosas botas gracias por mostrarlas saludos 👍😎
Great video. Thanks for explaining rough out leathers. Seems like something I'd like since they're tough and don't need care quite like suade does.
I like your videos. I've definitely enjoyed your personality and learned a lot about boots from you. Can you tell me about the hat you are wearing in most of the video?
Thanks man. Glad you enjoyed it!
It is a rodeo king 10x fur felt hat
@@smackdadious nice man I'm looking in to getting my first custom fit and shaped hat. Not really any good place local in Pennsylvania so think I'm going to try buying from The Cow Lot in Colorado. Off the rack hats are hard for me to get to fit my long oval head shape.
I have the No2 and I bought the perfect size. Would you recommend sizing up .5 inch for the snip toe so it ain't squeezing?
Man im not sure. If the no2 fits perfectly i would think their snip toe would fit the same. I believe they offer free returns and exchanges so you'll be safe to try the same size at first on carpet. If its too tight send it back in and get the half size bigger
@smackdadious How does the no.5 fit after further break in, do you still feel you should have sized up halv size?
Its still weird. I took out the insole and feel like i should have sized down half a size. I might try their largest womens boot to see if that would fit better for me
Well I gotta say, this was a well done review and video. I had to watch it 3 times due to interruptions, but I love it when a pair of boots gets the hose 🤣. I love the looks of this boot, but I would have to try a pair on before deciding to buy. Dang great looking boot!
Thank you man. Haha i do that on some videos too lol.
Yes, i am a firm believer that you need to try a pair of boots before buying or atleast have a no headache free return system
I also have the issue with toe space and boots. You should try some Munson last boots. It’s just an anatomical shaped boot with wider toes and narrow heel, designed in the war by a doctor to fit as many soldier as possible. There’s a lot of brands that make this style, White’s or red wing are good ones. Unfortunately I have yet to find a cowboy boot brand that makes boots like that
try ranch road boots i have the same similar proportions
wide toes and narrow heal frye boots fit perfectly , vintage nocona a good choice found some boots by going up a full size in b width fits
Enjoyed the review, and love my No. 2’s. I had trouble breaking in the left one because of my foot, went to the shop one day and talked to Will about it, he gave me some different insoles to try and fixed! He is a good dude, making damn fine boots.
Dig the hat in this video too, and the snake band. What is it?
Glad you enjoyed it man!
The hat is a rodeo king 10x fur felt hat. The snakeskin hatband was given to me as a gift. They say its rattlesnake but it might be python 🤷♂️
Thanks!
Thank you for a great review!!!!!! Regarding size, those of you who own the no:5. Did you size up half size from normal boot size or did you go with normal size?
I have a pair of Tecovas Cartwrights which was my first pair of Cowboy boots and i went with size 9D. looking back to this i should have got them in 8,5D, the 9D is to big...
what are your recomendations for the chisos no5 in size based on this info?
Thanks in advance!
I'd go with an 8.5 D, señor!
Hey man, thank you for watching! As for an answer it seems Chisos beat me to it lol
I agree with that 100 percent! 8.5 D is the way to go from what I hear, Thank you to Chisos for giving you a great answer in an awesome response time!
Both boots are pretty much true to size. If the Tecovas were too big in a 9D, then the Chisos will be big in a 9D.
I have a pair of 10D Tecovas and 10D Chisos. Thanks to the removable insole in the Chisos, I was able to get the boots to fit better than any Tecovas I own!
@@smackdadious thank you sir for taking the time to Answer me 😎 keep up the good work!
@@Chisos thank you for the Quick respons and for the advice 🙂
Can you wear them without the insole? I prefer hard leather insole
Yes, i wanted to but it was too loose. Id size half down to wear without insole
Maybe you should try the non-snip toe version of that boot they have a round two version now you’ll be able to leave the insole in
Tecovas are goodyear welt too.
I wore a pair of Lucchese Classics Ropers for years, but got my first pair of Chisos in early 2020. I hardly wear my Ropers anymore. Because I have four pairs of Chisos. 😂
Hell yeah man!
you said to have your hat crown point down but in the background its up
Yep, with something holding it up from the inside not warping the brim
Will these boots bring back chadj10 from the store? He said he was going out for milk.
He will never come back. But im here now, and I'll never leave you
@@smackdadious do you have milk?
Maybe try the #2 Roughouts next and your toes will be happier, and have a little more room ! 😊
The problem os the top of the toes, not the sides. Im also not a big fan of square toe boots.
I like the look of that boot but not as traditional as let’s say hondo..I have had lots of boots and those removable insoles never last long enough and replacing them always changes the fit.
Should've maybe done the #2 boots. Lots more room for toes.
😮😮😮😮😮👍👍👍👍👍
I wonder how the snip toe would fit my wide foot
I believe they are coming out with EE sizing, that might make it a better fit if you're going for a snip toe
i can’t buy chisos cause rn they don’t got EE in any styles i like
Very nice high quality boot, but I can't stand snip toe boots. Absolutely hate snip toes! If they did rough out with a J toe, I'd be all over it. Guess I'll just have to buy Tecovas because they have what I want.
All Leather Baby ~ hahaha. I will be laughing all night..
I wish i could wear my boots and not have my heel caps gone in a month and a half. I never figured out how to walk and not wear the back of the caps so fast.
Idk man. Mine go out but not nearly that fast
@@smackdadious oh i know. It is my janky walk. I just dont know how to fix it lol. It's fine, learned how to replace em myself so i always have a few ones on me ready.
Best boot brand ever!
😍
Sounds like your a candidate for a custom boot maker
noticed you said you "don't have horses at the moment" you wanna make a deal with some dash-for-cash bloodlines?
I purchased the number 1 and the boot was scratched, full of defects and cracks etc. Guess what. They didn’t care, they said it’s their quality and basically told me to f..off.
Chisos construction is much much much better quality than tecovas.
wear your pants in your boots it pertects you from a snake in your pants
Just don't wear them in the rain or the thread will fall apart!
Nice tip of the hat to @JeremiahCraig
