Went with these over Red Wings because I like the lace to toe adjustability. Sizing seems right. Tennis shoe size for me is 9.5-10. These are 9.5 wide and allow me to wear wool socks and have a snug yet comfortable fit. Very pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best value in waterproof logging boots!
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2012
Verified Purchase
I have had 3 pair of these exact logging boots spread out over 10 years...each pair lasting 3-4 years. I am hard on boots...in the woods everyday, fighting western wild fires in the summer--due to my age this latest pair of boots will never smell smoke! smile. My first pair were American made....my last two were made in China. No difference in quality. I buy American when I can but am also very particular about my boots. The 73100 design absolutely matches my foot shape exactly. I have a high arch and wide foot. The 9E are good feeling right out of the box and within 3 weeks are EXCELLENT feeling. The ankle does not stretch out from working on steep hillsides, the stitching stays tight, the soles put up with rocks and logs. I REALLy like the way the welt of the leather has the "lip" facing upwards...long gone are the days of walking on stobs and ripping at the leather seams....stobs simply can't grab the lip...all boots should be sewn like this.

The waterproofing is good....but by year 3 your foot can get a bit damp if you wade in a creek for more then a few minutes. A quick step through the water will not get your foot wet. I think this is a factor of grit and dirt wearing the Chipatex booty...for the first 2 years you can wade and stay dry....just something about the third year that lets them weep just a bit. For the record, I found the same issues with Goretex booties.

I have guys who buy Wesco and Whites....both high quality boot companies. They spend $300-$400 per pair. I can buy 2-3 pair of Chippewa 73100 for that. Those guys also have HORRIBLE boot-bite as they break theirs in....I don't. There boots do last an additional year...but I credit that with me working harder then they do! smile. Seriously, those boots are a bit higher quality but, as you can tell from my review, the price of the "W" boots does not warrant this slightly higher quality.

I have only had the non-steel toe, non-insulated 73100...so that is what I have reviewed. I do wish they were American made and would pay extra for it...but the 73100 has just not been matched in any other boot so I am sticking with them even though made in China--they are that comfortable and durable a boot. I just don't see anyone going wrong with these at any price...but at $127 get them while you can! I have paid $230 for them before...and they are worth it at that price too.

Thanks for reading my review...I hope it helps you in your search for the perfect work boot.

Stiffer on the uppers than the Carolina' which is good for better support. Comfortable from the start. Took a half hour getting used to the newness and wore them for the rest of the day and for three days after. I like these boots and Amazon got them here in three days. Another happy camper I am.

Really good and well made boots. But it definitely runs a bit smaller on the sizing. Nonetheless, I will purchase another pair of those boots but half a size up. Worth it.

This is my 2nd set of these and I hope I can keep buying them when these ware out. First pair lasted me nearly 10 years of mostly daily wear climbing communication towers. They wore out and I cased my tail looking for a new set. Had a set of thorogood that only lasted 6 months, bought a pair of redwings and even after being fitted by red wing never fit right and seems to ware the sole quickly so I sold them. Then bought these again along side a pair of $440 danner boots. Tried them Both on and by far these kept my foot more secure. The Danners felt like the belong in a coffee shop on the feet of a fake lumber jack pretending to know what manual labor is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only work boot for me
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2012
Size: 9Color: Bay ApacheVerified Purchase
I have bought 3 pairs of Chippewa boots now. I wear them to work every day. That's 5 days a week all year long. I can get one and a half to two years use out of these boots. They are warm when it's cold, dry when it's wet, and always comfortable after the initial break in period.

I'm in heavy civil construction and will never buy another brand of boots. They are top quality. They are not cheep, but in my mind they are worth every penny and more.

If you work for a living and are sick of having cheep boots, get a pair of chippewa boots. You'll be happy you did!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good For Summer, Waterproof is questionable
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2015
Size: 9.5Color: Bay ApacheVerified Purchase
I really liked these boots for about 9 months. I work as a diesel mechanic and in landscaping so I am not easy on my boots. However, the sole and outer of the boots stand up really well to the work, and are still in great shape. My only complaint about the boots is the waterproofness. After about 6 months the left booty started to separate from the bottom of the boot, but it remained attached and waterproof. After about 10 months the outer of the boots and the sole are still in good condition ( I also coat them with boot conditioner), but when walking through slush or snow (only for about an hour on and off) they leak. So, I am not sure if it is just a bad pair of boots (they were great for 6 months), or just lower quality boots. I have a pair of Justin Wellington's and I can walk in snow and slush all day and don't have a problem.

Excellent boots. I’ve never had boots so comfortable and easy to take on and off with a good support on the legs and heel. Definitely recommend and worth the money. Will buy again
