I love these boots. From the moment I slipped them on, they are so comfortable, and they are show stoppers. I wear them with anything.

Reviewer: Tippi from Louisville, KY

Overall:

These are gorgeous boots, absolutely as they look in the photo, cleverly slightly distressed with just enough of the animal print showing through to make them classic, not tacky, very soft leather,and 100% accurately sized. The only boots I have ever put on that felt immediately like I had been wearing them for years. As mentioned in several reviews, the toes do scuff easily. I took them to a bootery to have a metal toeplate attached with no luck due to their square toe shape, so I try to be a bit more careful. I wear them everywhere and I walk miles daily. I do love them. They are my current pride and joy shoe. As usual, Zappos shipping was immediate-received within two days of order.

Overall:

The boots are great looking, but they were too small. I have another pair of Old Gringo boots in a different style and so I ordered the same size. These are much tighter than the other pair I own, and so I am having to order up a size. I can\'t really comment on the comfort of the boot since I couldn\'t get them on past the instep.

Love these boots!I contemplated for a month before ordering these and I am so happy with my purchase. I am a high heel kind of girl and it's difficult to find a nice pair of cowboy boots with some height. I totally agree with the one reviewer. These boots look much nicer than the photo online. I hope to see more styles out with a 3" heel.

I am so happy with this purchase! The boots are so hip! I have never bought anything this expensive to wear, but am totally loving them! I went ahead and ordered my regular size and they fit great. Customer service through Zappos is over the top. Ordered these last night at 9:30 and had them here this morning! Returns are easy and service people are very helpful! Hate to shop for shoes anywhere else!

Reviewer: Tom from Indiana

Overall:

Old Gringo Pisa are very cowboy cool. I've had a chance to wear my Old Gringo Pisa boots since receiving (my original review was based on fit, appearance, feel only) and they exceed expectations. I wore them right out of the box for 6-7 hours on a Saturday and then 5-6 hours on a Sunday. I experienced some very slight fit adjustment from being new and the curled toe, but was surprised how quickly they felt 'broke in' like you would experience with 6 months old boots. They look great with jeans and I had a couple comments from others on how much they liked them. Thanks again to Zappos.

Reviewer: J from NC

Overall:

Awesome boot thus far, very happy here. Perfect combo of western and rock-n-roll looks, with a little motorcycle edge thanks to the harness. Quality of the leather and detailing is beyond first-rate. Cannot say enough about the looks. Was not familiar with Old Gringo brand before these. I've worn Frye, Redwings, Mark Nason, etc., you name it. The initial quality on these not only compares but exceeds those others on almost all fronts, especially detailing and leather finish. Pretty comfortable wear from the start, but does take some minor breaking in and does lack the memo foam insoles like some other brands as tradeoff for the great true leather soles. Size/fit was a little shorter in toe and smaller than expected; definitely go 1/2 size up from your norm. Also, standard width is still pretty narrow so really wide and/or flat feet should go wider width or look elsewhere. All in all, a really tremendous boot especially at sale prices. Look is super hot and I got ton of notice and compliments from my guy friends on first wearing, including those wearing Frye. Very happy with this boot and my first order from Zappos. Not disappointed.

Reviewer: Shana from Washington, DC

Overall:

These boots are fab-u-lous. I have always wanted a pair of cowboy boots, but I have large calves so I never thought I would be able to find a pair to fit. The Leoparditos are great right out of the box and well worth the price. Unlike a lot of other handmade cowboy boots, the leather that these are made from feels soft and broken in right away. You'll still have to pull (hard) to get them on, but there's no stiffness like with other boots. And the more you wear them, the easier they are to get on and off. (Disclaimer: I didn't actually buy them from Zappos, I bought them while visiting a relative in Texas, but I have bought many items from Zappos over the years, since 2000!)

Love this boot! Very comfortable and really hot looking. Leather is so soft it feels like it is already broken in. I have gotten so many compliments when I wear them. Zappos sent these right away. Zappos has great customer service, too. Very happy with the entire transaction.

What a fabulous pair of boots! Not only are they fun, but they fit like a glove. You can wear them with just about any kind of pant and would be great with a skirt as well. A great buy! I\'m always looking for cool, well fitting boots and these are the ones!

Reviewer: Linda Q from Northern VA

Overall:

Since no one else has reviewed and I was agonizing over the choice, here it is! I have had my trusty Tony Lamas for 15 years and I finally need to replace them as the snakeskin has cracked. I loved these boots and bought them at the end of the summer my junior year of college after saving up for months. I went to visit them in the boutique where I worked in downtown Philly several times over the summer (so weird, right?) and at the time they were the most expensive shoe I had ever purchased and I have loved them for all these years. I mention all of this to say that I don't have a ton of money, but know that a good pair of cowboy boots are so worth it. I wanted to get new Tonys but didn't find anything I loved and also wanted something a little more fun/different. I had about a dozen pairs of Old Gringo and Luchhese (and one Dan Post) in my favorites for weeks trying to narrow down my choice. So many beautiful boots to choose from my friends! If I could, I would have bought about 6 pairs and I'm sure I would be equally happy with them all. So I finally bit the bullet and ordered the Dina Butterfly and thanks to Zappos they were on my doorstep in less than 24 hours. Here are some of the things I love about these boots: Heel height. I thought the Nevada might be a little high for everyday wear, but I wanted something more than the 1.5 heel height of many of the others I was considering. The heel height is perfect because it's tall enough to give a couple of inches and dress it up, yet low enough for if you want to be casual and in terms of comfort you can't tell the difference vs. a lower heel. Lots of stars for this. The other thing about the heel is that on the site I thought they were painted silver and was wondering if it might rub off. They are actually not silver, but more of a weathered wood look (black wood with ecru paint). However, as I'm sitting here I just scraped the paint and it does indeed come off, but I don't think it's really going to be a problem. I'll update my review if this changes in a few months. Crystals; they are actually a very light pink. Fabulous. Comfort, can't be beat. Leather, a nice, matte black. Arch support - excellent. Stitching - high quality, vibrant colors. The only thing I would change: shaft height. I am pretty short so wish it was taller (as Oprah pointed out last week, shorter legs should wear longer boots). By the way, I wear either a 5.5 or 6 and since this only starts in a 6 that's what I ordered and it fits great.

Overall:

Fantastic boots! I love the look of these boots; the old distressed look of these comfortable boots would take many years to duplicate. Old Gringo is the brand you want to look for if you're into that "old west" thing. I highly recommend these to anyone and these are the fifth pair I have bought and I just keep coming back for more.

Reviewer: Lauren from Olympia, WA

Overall:

These boots looked so awesome online, and when I got them I was pretty disappointed. They have very little padding in the sole and REALLY pointy toes (think aladdin) Also the shaft of the boot is tiny, my leg fit in it but I like cowboy boots to be big enough to stuff pants into if I want.They also seemed shorter than other pairs I have. These ones are going back for sure. If you want some cute, really durable and COMFORTABLE boots, try Ariat. They are not as arsty as Old Gringo, but a much better deal.

Reviewer: Anonymous from So CA

Overall:

I have several of the OG Razz boots, and love them for their unusual style, almond toe, and front gladiator profile. This shorter version in dark chocolate with embroidered flowers is really subtle and cute. Same OG quality, same OG comfort, and same OG style versatility (I wear all my OG boots with short Boho skirts or short slim skirts; they're so cute, why hide them under jeans?!). As to sizing, I'm a 6 in my dozens of Lucchese boots, but a solid 5.5 in OG. OG always has a wee bit more toe box room and width than Lucchese. And, with their authentic cowboy boot style, they have that normal slight slip at the heel as you walk.

Overall:

These hot boots are better looking in person than I could've hoped to imagine. The leather is so crisp and soft; I almost don't want to wear them so I'll never scuff them up! However, they are very comfortable and I will not let them sit alone in the closet! The leopard print could not be more fashionable and having worn out many a stiletto heel I am happy to adorn these Old Gringos with pride!

Wow, more than I expected! I love Old Gringo boots (I have purchased others from Zappos) and the best place to purchase is from you! Not only did they upgrade my shipping to next day they are absolutely freakin' cowboy cool! Now, I have not worn them even outside my house, but I did try them on with my favorite jeans and they feel and look awesome! Seriously, I am very happy and I am sure they will be the same great quality of all Old Gringo boots and of course I'm more than pleased with the customer service Zappos offers. I know I'll be buying another pair of Old Gringos soon! Thanks Zappos!

Love these shoes. The nicely squared toe, the awesome leopard print, and the nicely weathered look and texture are perfect. The only way to make it better would have been to have bought the full boot, but at their price, that wasn't a possibility. These are pricey, but they are made to last, true to size and worth it

Overall:

OMGGG - - These are INCREDIBLE. I was very nervous about this purchase, I must admit and I ordered 2 boots; one in a 10 and one in an 11 - - I have extremely high arches and boots are a struggle to get on - - the 10\'s I had to return; but the 11\'s, I\'ve taken them off to go to bed, other than that I\'ve been livin\' in them. They are gorgeous boots. And I didn\'t realize they had crystals; I thought it was studs on butterflies, but they\'re these amberish crystals. Anyway, they have gotten ew\'s and ah\'s from countless admirers. And the best thing, after a few times on and off, they get really e-z to slip on and fit like they were made for me. Thank you Old Gringo! Thank you Zappos I\'m in love.

I have several pairs of Old Gringo boots. I love the style and fit. I knew I had to have them. These boots are true to size and width. If you have a wider foot you could go a half size up and they would be a perfect fit. The leather is soft and beautiful. Love them!

Beautiful boot, soft leather. Zipper is a bit choppy to close; would be great if it were a bit smoother. The fit is nice. It would be good to get a rubber sole on the front bottom of the boot; it's way too slippery. Thanks Zappos!

Reviewer: Anonymous from Annapolis, MD

Overall:

These are so cool. I have been hunting for a boot like this for ages. I was a little nervous because of the price, but since Zappos has easy returns, I figured what the heck? Like the previous poster, I think these run a bit large. I wear an 8 in running shoes, a 38 in European shoes and sometimes a 7.5 in dress shoes. I decided to order the 7.5 and they were just right. The sole is quite stiff and very smooth; like new cowboy boots, you have to get out & about and scratch up the soles before you'll have any traction. The construction is very high quality, and they are pretty comfortable; not as comfy as my Danskos or sneakers, but great for dress shoes. I imagine they'll break in and be even better. They look a little clunkier in the photo than they actually are; in fact, OG has managed to execute a very masculine, retro style in a delicately feminine way. These make my ankles look tiny and they look great with all my trousers and jeans. They are very hobo/1930s-looking. Digging these shoes!
