I bought these boots for various reasons. First off, they are made in America! I know! It's hard to believe, but it's true! Secondly, Chippewa has been an American made product since the early 1900's. They pioneered the process of lining boots with insulation to help keep feet warm and dry in cold and wet climates. Finally, Chippewa is known for comfort. As of this writing, I've been wearing my pair of Chippewa's for a week. Already they have that perfectly broken in feel. Even on the first day they felt perfectly comfortable. I work in an outdoor lumber yard in Ohio and I need boots that keep my feet warm, dry and comfortable throughout the winter. These boots are perfect for that job. I used to swear by Rocky Boots when they were made just an hour away from my hometown. Now, I will swear by Chippewa Boots because they can still deliver what they promise, unlike Rocky. Plus, Chippewa's are made in America. So, if you want the best, buy Chippewa. Buy American!!!!

I have worked in the construction field for 26 years and I have never found a boot that can hold up like Chippewa and I have tried many different brands. They are worth every penny.I usually get 2-3 years out of each pair,and once broken in they are like wearing slippers!!

You get what you pay for with these boots. I do irrigation work summers, and deliver heating oil winters. I wear my boots a minimum of 40 hours every week of the year. In irrigation, they constantly go through wet/dry cycles daily, and in winter constant exposure to road salts, dripping oil, and winter weather. In other words, they do not have an easy life. That said, they last about 2 years for me. The soles never wear out, but eventually the leather cracks at the main crease across the toe. I never treat them with anything, and doing so may well help and extend their life. I've never had a seam or even a thread go in 10 years of wearing these boots. Extraordinarily well made. The laces are really the only thing that goes. Good idea to pick up spare laces when ordering. (I think my dog likes to chew on mine). A minor gripe is that after about a year the interior lining comes loose from the sole. When this happens you can't put toe to heel to pull of the boots, or you also pull half the lining out and half to stuff it back in. Instead you need to sit down and pull them off manually with a finger or two inside the heal to hold the lining in place. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning.
Breaking in: Be careful. Don't lace these up on the first day and head out for 8 hours of work. If you do, you won't be able to wear them again for a couple of days your feet will be so sore! I often work half-days on Saturdays and this is when I break them in. I put them on without lacing at all tight. The new boots are so stiff they will not slip around. After about 3 half-days, I can go 8 hours, and I gradually begin to lace them tight. Once broken in, these boots are the most comfortable thing your feet will ever know. As 1 reviewer stated, they are indeed like slippers. I buy my Chippewas a half-size larger than normal, for what it's worth.
Not exactly water proof though. In rainy wet, muddy weather they are. But in standing water not so much. Winters when I stand at my truck there is often standing water/slush along the curb from the road salts melting the snow, and in these instances, the boots will take in water. Not a lot, but even a little cold water negates the insulation and woolen socks and the result is frozen feet. Without water intake, these boots have always been warm enough to handle anything RI winter dishes up. And despite the insulation, they are also never too warm during summers. This winter season I am going to try out their Arctic 50s and see how they do with the water. I am also going to try some Sno-Seal with them, which seems to be highly reviewed here.
A lot of guys I work with say they'd never pay this money for a pair of boots. Then they go through a couple pair every season and always have issues with their feet. Well, do the math and then think of all the comfort these boots provide. Even when it is time to throw a pair out, they are still as wonderfully comfortable as ever. And if you work in dry conditions mostly, no telling how long a pair could last for you. You may not like the price, but if you wear your boots every day, I swear if you give a pair of these a go, you'll not regret the investment.
