Great service and excellent price from Zappos. The Chippewa boots are just what I wanted. Great support, waterproof and warm for our cold NH winters.

Bought these for my son and he rely likes them. He is pretty picky about his work boots and these fit the bill.

Yeah, these are the Chinese ones, but fit, form, function, looks, build quality all good. Would recommend them to anyone.

I've a single pair of these on my feet at least a couple times a week for the last 3 years. My career in oil & gas has taken these boots on a journey from 14kft @ -30deg in the rockies to the heat of the Texas desert. I've beat the heck out of them and just keep taking it. While it took a bit of a transition, I now can't do without the slightly higher heel in these. It balances your weight better and I've never had any trouble working on my feet all day all night long. Took 3 years to wear to the point where I need new ones and not changing a thing on my next pair.

Aside from being a heavy boot, I cannot find anything wrong with these boots. They are bomb proof and water proof. The overall fit and finish is that of a boot twice the price. they are true to size and width. Once you get used to the weight they are all day comfortable. Also even as a waterproof boot they are plenty breathable and my feet stay dry and warm. Would definitely recommend them to someone who needs a serious boot for serious work.

I bought from Zappos, the boot is amazing. GET the steel toe, not only will your legs get stronger but you will be a boss with being able to kick stuff. Okay, so the laces died after 3 months, but I called Zappos and they didn't have any laces to give me, but they gave me a 1-800 number to call and those people had laces sent to me all within 10 minutes. Zappos referred me (which they didn't have to do) and they should be commended for their excellent service (which is why I am writing this). Thanks Zappos!

These boots are great I have worn them for about a week now, the soles are great for the muddy conditions the heel digs into the mud adding traction. The Kiltie is serving its purpose keeping alot of mud from getting under the bottom half of the laces and water proof to keep the nasty crap on the the outside. Then when I get done doing my job I just give them a few kicks to the curb to get most of the mud out of the soles, and with the steel toes I do not have to worry about hurting my toe when kicking out the mud, then I just set them aside and let the rest of the mud dry and they are ready for the next day's beating. The toes have really taking a beating but that only adds to the boots rugged look. I did not buy these boots to take care of but instead to have fun with. These are great boots!

These are great boots. The leather is supple and supportive. The Vibram soles are magnificent. The overall construction is excellent and tidy. They took about 3 days to break in but were comfortable from day one. Some people swear Red Wings are the best but I'm a Chippewa guy. Waterproof membrane is good. The heel is stable. Get 'em.

I ordered boots at 8:30 pm and received them sometime between 2:00 and 3:00 pm the next day. Fast shipping!

The boots are great. They are real tough and the steel toe is like a tool being attached to me. The waterproofing is also very effective, but I went canoeing with them and fell in the river (rapids) and soaked the boots. The only problem was that they are so waterproof it was hard to get them to dry in the sun! The only gripe so far is that the laces are horrible and I need new ones already.

I dislike having to return these lovely boots. But they are too big. Seibel and Reiker footware brands, my favorites, are exquisitely crafted. Alas, my feet are not.

I have these boots in black. I just love them! I wore them around Europe on a 10-day trip in December. Some days I walked 10 miles and some of that over cobblestones. These were so comfortable. They also look attractive, especially from the sides. I want to wear them every day! This is my first season with them and I hope they hold up well. (My Josef Seibel sandals did not hold up all that well.)

Wow, these are the best short boots I have ever had! I tried them on at a major department store before I bought them from Zappos (I usually do) because I noticed they do not come in a Wide. But it seems that European shoes are made wider and they fit great. They look great with just about everything and can be worn all day in total comfort!

I like this shoe. The olive color is a versatile neutral. It has a soft flexible sole that makes it feel more like you're barefoot. The width in the toe box is the only reason I'm returning these. They don't fit my fat feet. Why do shoe designers want to cram your toes into a knot at the front of the shoe? Just asking in case some designer is out there listening.

These are great shoes ~ extremely comfortable and unique in styling! The color description is questionable; this color is actually a brown. I also have them in black.

Adore these boots. They look great with tights or leggings. With a dress, skirt of pants. I have the hardest time finding comfy shoes with any type of heel. This shoe really works for me. On my last biz trip I ran through the airport in them, and my feet did not hurt. Can you believe it?!

I love these shoes, but I ordered the wrong ones; the brown picture is paired with the olive color name. I even called Zappos' customer service ahead of time to confirm that I was ordering the one I wanted.
