Anniversary Edition

Excellent quality, item as stated, fast shipping, good communication, fair pricing. I will purchase from this seller again.

Absolutely stunning!

For a period of time that is close to 30 years I haven't owned any cowboy boots mainly due to the fact that just weren't comfortable. Recently I decided to look at cowboy boots again to see if there were any advances in comfort on the market. Upon finding Chisos boot company and doing extensive research on the company, owner, and their boots I decided to order a pair of #2's in brushed brown and give them a try. To put it mildly I was not disappointed! Fantastic boots, truly comfortable out of the box and getting better with every wear. Of course during my research and looking at the various styles they had I could not help but notice the stunning anniversary reserve alligator boot listed. The description had them only available during reserve windows but the pictures of them were enough to plant a seed of desire in my mind. Absolutely gorgeous! The day after Thanksgiving I received notice that a "reserve window" was now open. I wasted no time in ordering them and then had to chomp on the bit waiting for the early 2026 ship date. When the boots finally arrived I unpacked them from their fancy box and bags and tried them on. I had ordered the same size as my #2's (11D) which fit perfectly, but these gator boots were too tight. Upon talking with Gannon I shipped them back to switch out for some 11.5's. The return shipment had some delays due to a massive snow/ice storm and some fun with Fed Ex logistics but it finally arrived. Upon opening the second shipment my first concern was the fit. Slipped them on and they fit perfect! With the fit problem solved I now took the time to look the boots over closely. These baby's are exquisite! Not only is the alligator and leather top quality but the craftsmanship is paramount from the hand tooled Chisos mountains to the perfect stitch lines on every seam. They look fantastic in the pictures but it's a whole new level to hold them in your hands and to slide them on your feet! Big thanks go to Gannon for your help on the fit and with Fed Ex. More thanks to Will and the rest of the Chisos crew for the class and integrity to produce such outstanding boots! It's an absolute pleasure to be able to wear cowboy boots that are comfortable all day after all these years. I love my #2's but these alligator boots are really a thing of beauty!

A work of art worth every penny

From the alligator skins harvested by Will himself, to the hand-tooled image of the Chisos Mountains on the collars, to the traditional craftmanship used to construct the boots, these beauties are worth every penny. These boots are crafted with top-quality materials throughout with none of the cheap fillers used by other "premium" brands. And the beautiful black finish is stunning. Chisos never cuts corners and these boots are a testament to that. You can wear them with your starched jeans for a night on the town or with a tuxedo on your kid's wedding day. Or you can display them in your home as a work of art. Seriously.
