Great fit and comfortable as always
I loved the look of the boots but they were small. Had to return them for a larger size. Still waiting on the new pair. Seem to be slow playing now. Ordered on the 7th. now the 24 and still no boots. Thet were shipped fedex el cheapo. I will never buy anything From shoebacca. They never answered my messages, I strongly recomend you never shop with them. Finally got the boots on the 31st of oct. Shipped from texas to Pa then to Ga. shipped the slowest way possible by shoebacca. I guess they were mad because the first pair didn't fit. IF THEY WOULD HAVE SAID IT WAS MADE IN CHINA I WOULD HAVE ORDERED A BIGGER SIZE TO START WITH. I will never order from them again just a plain sorry company. never shipped until the 19th.
Looks like they r made good miss my Wolverines
I bought these 1.5 year ago and only wore them last winter for 4-5 months. Same deal this winter about 3-4months worth. Every single seam is comping apart at the stitching’s. I can put my finger through multiple spots. Havnt even worked these boots hard honestly. They are comfortable and the soles seem very durable. It’s just literarily everything else that is failing on these. They are almost $300 and the least durable boot I have ever owned unquestioned. I called Chippewa and they didn’t seem to care in the least bit because it was just over their 1 year return policy. Go figure. Buyer beware don’t be like me!
Always thought they were made in US some models are made in China including this one
4 months and the seams and stitching have started tearing... roughly 60 times I've worn these boots to work and they are already falling apart. Good enough for an office job but that's about it.
