I have owned these exact boots as well as several other Chippewa boots. They’re great boots! Look good, comfortable, and no long break-in period like other brands I’ve owned. But this boot lasted me less than 1 year. Mind you, I wear my boots everyday in all manner of conditions. Snow, mud, driving, kicking around the office, etc. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another pair at all! But if you’re like me and you wear your boots everyday these will not last 5 years. Your dog really is awesome. Thanks for the review.

Love how they had a safety toe version! Allowed me to wear it in the factory & in the office without missing a beat

Love the puppy. Love the way it tolerated you occupying its spot on the couch and yakking away. Oh...thanks for the look at the boots too. I never would have thought of Chippewa as a top quality boot until I saw this.

I think your dog stole the show...lol. Very nice boots. Love your site and all the content. I know you probably have a lot on your plate but I echo others here who would love to see more videos from you.

My boot journey started with this very pair of Chippewa boots and then I bought the redwing iron rangers and the roughnecks followed by Truman boots and finally a couple of pairs of Nick's boots. My understanding is boots has come a long way since I used to adore my chipping boots and I simply can't seem to ever want to wear anything of less quality than the Nick's boots anymore. The construction,the materials used, the mileage off those Nick's boots are insane and you can add to that the comfort of wearing them ,plus the aesthetics itself. I appreciate your review on the Chippewa boots and I believe that you've made that transition from that perspective you held 5 years ago. I'm a Nicks, White's and Wesco guy now and hope to understand the finer details of boot craftsmanship and own a pair of Viberg boots now and probably a pair of flame panda boots. Cheers

I bought the Original Chippewa 6 Inch Service Boot in oxblood almost 3 years ago as my first investment in a good pair of boots -- to this day, I absolutely love them. They still see heavy rotation in my wardrobe and still look/feel amazing, even in comparison to my Red Wings, Oak Streets, Red Wings, and other heritage boots. A wonderful purchase which I highly recommend to someone wanting to get into the boot game.

Im a Chippewa and Redwing guy. Love something that is made in the US.

In my humble opinion (I know I am a few years late) this is one of the better reviews, mainly because of the dog.. But seriously, I have seen some reviews for Whites, Nicks, and other boots. I have no doubt they are amazing boots and I have been very lucky and blessed I could afford a pair but $600 for a pair of "work" boots just hurts the heart for me. I worked as a mechanic, did 20 years in the Navy as a aircraft mechanic and now work around the house and rebuild cars in the shop. There is no way a hard working family can afford those high end work boots instead of putting food on the table or even just a little vacation/special night out money. This is where the Red Wing line and other similar price points come in handy and you can still get great boots. yet some of the reviewers unintentionally advertise for these top end boots that IMO the target audience can't afford (actual working people) then they are fashion boots period. As stated, most people aren't going to go working on a construction site where you can get paint, cement, oil, items all dropped on your $600 boots. Not without complaining about it, that is for sure. The poor intern/appretace is the real person who needs $600 boots so they are not all stoved up when they are 50 (about the time you really should be able to afford them).

Just received the boots today. Got them for $130 thanks to eBay! So far the boots fit perfectly and are pretty comfy. I wear a size 10 in running shoes, I bought these in a size 9 Wide and fits on point. Enough space on side and not feeling tight or narrow. Length size I prob have 1/4 of inch space between boot and toes. Can’t wait to break them in!

You need to make more videos my friend!

Chips are more than what i need. I love their quality and fit. I have their packer, wellington, and Bay Apache logger. Im not in construction nor do i work as a firefighter or national park ranger so i dont need Nick's or White's level of construction. Chips are mkre than my needs, especially now that im retired. These appear to he Chip's version of Red Wings Iron Rangers and Wolverines 1000 Miler boots.

More videos please! Your dog's absolutely adorable by the way :)

Disappointing that they discontinued this boot. It was their only good looking safety boot and no one else makes this style quite the same way. Not cool, Chippewa.

Came here to learn about boots. Stayed to see what the puppers would do next

Really thinking of buying this boot, Love your dog btw thank you for the video:)

The dog must think you've gone nuts talking to a black object with a lens you're constantly having your eyes fixed at 😂

*YOUR DOG IS BEAUTIFUL*

Hey these don’t look like cowboy boots? How did I get here? Great vid love the production quality

Came for the boots! Stayed for the production! Subbed for your sweetheart dog!

After 5 years they shouldn't look that good even with constant oiling/waxing. You just don't do heavy work my friend.

I really dig these. Got cheap NOS with BFG gumlites. Slick in winter & def not non slip, but super comfortable all day in garage, gonna try these as riding boots too

I have that exact boot and a pair of their snake boots, which I can personally tell you they work.

I wore the Ellison’s for years,I believe those and these have been discontinued

what an awesome dog!!! Great video too!

Salut from Russia! Good job! Do not stop, Please!

These might end up being my first nice boots

Comfortable Kicking Around Boots. Nice.

Chippewa books are great quality as soon as you pick up a pair you can feel the quality. However I have had a couple pair of their 11" engineer boots with steel toe and those have both been the most uncomfortable boots ever, I cannot wear them longer than 20 mins have to take them off. Anyone have a similar experience with Chippewa Engineer boots ? They look great and are the most Rugged Engineer boot you will ever find, received many compliments by strangers but again hard to wear them longer than 20 mins, big bummer , Peace

Have you walked long distance in these , like gone on a trek or something ?Have you worn them during rain? Thanks.

Best. Boot. Ever. LOVE my Apaches!

Nice review, love the dog! I am really perplexed as to what "heritage" boot to get, Iron Ranger, 1000 mile or this Chippewa. I did see some recent review about quality control issues with the Chippewa's, e.g. the heal twisting apart from the boot, seams coming undone, etc... have you noticed any QC problems like these with your Chippewas? Thx, and Happy New Year.

I wish they made this exact boot but waterproof 3:14 so are they waterproof then?

What would you say your experience is with the sole? A lot of reviews on the Chippewa site complain that the sole wears down quickly and find themselves in a year having to have new soles put on them.

“Give me belly rubs, hooman!” Looks like the boots have held up really well. Curious to know your thoughts about the “tribes” aspect of the boot brands and what they say. I have 2 pairs of Thursday boots I’ve worn for about 2 years now; I’ve only had 2 people say something about them in that time.

Can you advice boot that quality and price is the best? Thanks

Great review and awesome dog. Please help me with sizing. I'm in a 8.5 Nike running shoe, 8 Thursday Captain, 8 Blundstone. Would you agree size 8 in the Apache's or half size down to 7.5? Thanks again

make more videos, idiot. you're too good

Sick review bro

Where is the link to the original review? Where is it? You said it would be in the description? It isn't there. WHERE IS IT?

Don’t bother trying to get these boots, Chippewa is out of most boots and have been for quite a while. Their customer service is horrible, they should post a statement of why they have no stock and when they are expecting to stock boots.

I can't seem to find these boots but there are a pair that look exactly like them labeled "ELLISON LACEUP". Are these the same boots just relabeled?

what kind of boots does your dog wear? muttlucks , ruffwear seem to be the boots of choice in my hood. lol

yours barely look fucking worn lol. mine are trashed, about to get them resoled after 4 years, but i've pretty much worn them every day half the year as a carpenter.

I've owned these for 5 years too now. Mine don't look as good as yours but I still love them. Few months back, I bought Wolverine 1000 mile boots for $200 CAD from a store that was closing, so no returns. I wore them 3 times and all three times, I got nasty blisters on my heel, from the top of the curve on the heel of the boot on the inside. I removed the insoles that came with the boots, and put in my own orthotic insoles and I think the height of the soles is what's causing the issue since I'm not fitting into the heel curve. Now i'm afraid to wear them, and I'm afraid i just wasted 200 bucks on them. Any advice? I'm thinking of getting some custom insoles for them, maybe that can solve my problem

Would they last 5 years if worn regularly? Those don’t look well used. Still nice boots though.

WR Russell boots Berlin Wisconsin - you're poor and if you don't own a pair - your kinda happy!

What's the jacket model you are wearing? The fit is awesome

Sadly, they no longer make the Ellison/Cibola

great, more vids please

Cheppewa run more tan timberland in size?

Have you used any conditioners or water proofers on them?

Did you go with your standard width or EE. TY

Nice boots and great videobombing ! Usual problem here in France they are expensive, like between 250€ and 300€.

Got the part number?? I wear thorogood Moc toe boots all year around with 501's

Aww! Dog! 😊 That's such a cute little furball! Just want you to know I watched the video thrice just to relish the very obvious affection you two share. You love that dog! Why not feature him in every video? That could be your USP , so to speak. I like boots, but they're just stuff. I love dogs; they keep me humble and grounded ! Gotta get priorities right, right?

Boots or dogs. I’m confused.

Great dog . Great boots I do have a pair of thrusday captain boots I love . What does that say about me? I also love dogs !

5years??? Yes if you wear them once a week tops, walking in grass, and that's it. Let's be real here these aren't real work boots unless your looking for a one year boot.

Are these the exact same as the Chippewa service boots?

Question: can these be worn for production or construction?

There's a guy that took these apart and they are disappointing. $200 for these boots is not worth it. Invest in a pair of custom made Nicks boots. Those will last you a lifetime.

i like your cool friend

What oil do u use for your chippewas?? Idk which to put on mine.

finding an empty paper coffee cup and pretending you are drinking coffee can be very tribal. :)

A half of a boot for a half of a man! They must look fabulous while he's sitting behind his desk drinking soy lattes?

Oh, Lord, why?!!! Why do I get these in my recommend videos! Grrrah!!!!😡
