As expected, these are fantastic boots. I've never owned oil tanned leather boots or shoes before, but it is soft and conforms to my foot nicely; feels like they are breaking in quickly. These are casual boots, well suited with jeans or more informal pants, made to take a beating, per Kimber, one of the cool owners of this company. I wear mine for work, because I've been beating the daylights out of my old style brown sharks (getting resoled for the 4th time right now - best boots of all time). I needed to take some wear off of the sharks, and the French Toe and walking heel are all day comfortable without looking like Old Man, flat-foot ropers.
I wanted boots that were understated and suitable to walk in an industrial setting without looking fancy or fussy but looked nice. I tend toward less flamboyant cowboy boots and when it's cooler out, I wear them most every day. These are very handsome, understated, practical boots perfect everyday, for motorcycling, riding horses - whatever. Bulletproof and cool as hell. Dirt and griime wipes off easily, and scuffs blend in and lend character.
Super understated boots. The quality is what speaks loud and clear when you look at them. If you've never owned Heritage Boots, you won't buy from anyone else once you do. And the women who own this company are awesome - helpful, friendly and passionate about what they do.
Kimber... only one request... Make a Black Cherry Goat boot. Always wanted a boot named after me. ;-).
These were the first pair of boots I bought at Heritage Boots about 15 years ago. I have bought 4 more pairs and this is the only brand I will ever buy. I used to wear 10 1/2 and as I aged, 75 now, my arches collapsed and I wear 12 1/2 in running shoes, however my boots still fit. The built in arch support in these boots raises my arch to its proper height and I am totally comfortable all day long. Every where I go people want to know what kind of leather and where did I get them. I don’t live in Austin anymore so I cannot easily get to the store anymore, however all of my boots are the same size and I feel comfortable ordering over the phone. My wife has stingray boots and they are attention getters.
Received the boots last night. Tried them on this morning and they felt great. I wore them to old people shuffleboard and won both games. No break in needed. Wear all day!! Nice young lady to deal with also.
I received my Clay Apache over the weekend and am very pleased with the styling and comfort of the Cuban heel. These are my first pair with this heel and they are great for walking in my opinion. I have several pairs of Heritage boots and look forward to breaking these bad boys in!
Just got a pair of these and they are so damn beautiful and fit so great! Thank you Kimber and Heritage team!
