How the mightly has fallen.
By David Burrell
The pair of Chippewa boots that I received today were made in China, and parts that were leather on my old pair are now either vinyl or padded cloth. My older pair were made in the USA.This new leather boot is much stiffer and unforgiving for the foot because of the man made vinyl and padded cloth materials on the inside of the boot, and I don't see how you can "break" them in, as you would do if the interior of the boot was leather.I don't care much for the soft "rubber" trim at the top of the boot either. This is a wear point for many of my work boots, and this part will split, wear out and fall apart quickly. The reinforced leather trim on my "made in USA pair" split after many years of heavy use, but never wore out. I would have the old boots repaired by Chippewa, but at a cost of $90.00, plus the cost of shipping both ways, it really isn't worth it.These new Chippewa boots are also not true as to size. I ordered a 12 medium and this pair I received is more like a 13 E (wide) even though the size printed on the inside of the tongue does say 12 M. I had to slip on a double pair of hikers socks for the boot to fit.No more "mail order" for me on shoes or boots, since it seems that many brands presently being made have manufacturing mistakes that can only be seen in person.

TERRIBLE
By Jaxon
Well I purchased a pair of these boots at a local store (to save on shipping) and for the first week I was impressed, but after a while the tread part of the boot started splitting off. I repaired one of the small splits with some gorilla glue, and it held for about three days, then it started to split on the other side of the boot on both boots! The stitching looks good and all, but it is only for looks. NOT a sturdy boot. I own a pair of black Chippewas that were made in the USA, and they have held up to everything I can throw at them, so I expected more from these boots, but i recommend spending the extra $80 to get the american Chippewas,they are a much better and more comfortable boot.
