King Roper

I have numerous pair of boots and have been wanting a pair of good ostrich boots for the past couple of years. I looked at all the usual brands and was leaning toward purchasing a pair of Lucchese. However, Lucchese had a dark pair and a light pair but not the exact color I was looking for. I came across that Chisos boots and did some research and decided to give them a try. I’ve only had them about a month, but really enjoy them so far. I ordered a pair of Dan Post boots, a pair of Hyer boots, and a pair of Chisos. I sent the other two back. I love the color and look of the Chisos boots the best! They go well with jeans and dress pants. I wish they had the Chisos mountains on the upper like their other boots do. I also wish they were made in the USA. They are probably the best pair of boots that I own!

I ordered a size 11 and they fit moved I typically were at 11 in most boots but wear a 10 1/2 in Ariats. I hope this helps someone else get the size they need.

I was content paying $600 to $800 for a pair of nice boots but I just couldn't bring myself to pay $1300 for a pair. I regret not buying them sooner! The quality is top notch. The fit is superb, absolute favorite pair of boots! If you are on the fence, just do yourself a favor and get the damn things and thank me later!

So first off I’m slightly biased because I already own three other pair of Chisos; this pair my fourth. Out of all my Cowboy/ Roper boots these are the most Comfortable premium and fragrant sweet smelling leather I have had the pleasure of using my sense of smell to smell. These are expensive, but you pay for what you get. I was a little hesitant about full quill ostrich because of the look and the quills but I love them. I own about 12 to 13 other pair and brands of cowboy boots in total including my custom ones and theses are my favorite. A quick shout out to Jeremiah Craig for reviewing these boots on his YouTube channel i bought them because of that review. Also thanks to Will and the Chisos team for providing him with a pair to do so. Added a few out in the field pics….Cheers !!!!!

Love my new king ropers, very comfortable and love the look of them. Would highly recommend them, and very well made!!!

I have been a huge fan of Chisos Boots since learning about the company via one of the interviews Will Roman did after starting the company. Years later, my bank account definitely has a lower balance due to my fondness for Chisos boots. After several purchases of the No 1s, No 2s, No 5s and No 6s, I knew that I would eventually end of with the King Ropers. Since purchasing the King Ropers, they have quickly become one of my favorites. The craftsmanship and the comfort of the boots is incredible.

Ostrich has always been one of my favorite exotic skins and I have had several pairs over the years from other brands. With Chisos, there is definitely a difference in the leather that is used versus competitors. The King Ropers are set apart by the smooth ostrich on the shafts which compliments the full quill ostrich on the vamps.

It's probably a good thing that I no longer live in Texas. I probably would be a regular visitor to their storefront in Austin which would not be good for my bank account. I definitely appreciate the company that founder Will Roman and team have created. I look forward to see where they take company in upcoming years.

Do right, love Texas and buy a pair of Chisos (two pairs or even a dozen pairs). They're definitely from other boot offerings.

These are my first pair of Chisos boots, and were a “pre 60th” birthday present from my wife, along with a matching Chisos belt and a Vogt Silversmith’s sterling buckle.

The comfort out of the box was nothing like I’ve experienced in any other brand of cowboy boot I own, or have owned over the years. That includes 2 current pair of Lucchese, many Noconas, Mercedes’ of Rios, Justin’s etc over my near 6 decades. At this point, I only have 3 full days of wearing them on a long weekend getaway, but the trip involved a lot of walking on concrete sidewalks and fancy pathways. I experienced zero break-in issues such as hot spots, rubbing sores, or anything else that usually comes with the break-in of traditionally made cowboy boots.

One other observation I’d like to mention is the ostrich hide itself. I have another pair of full quill ostrich boots from Lucchese, though it’s only the vamp and counter, not the shaft. The hide that these Chisos boots were made from is noticeably thicker, and yet just as soft and supple as my Lucchese’s. Hopefully, that means they won’t stretch and loosen as much as my Lucchese’s have. Time will tell…

Based on my initial impressions of the comfort and quality of these King Ropers, I have a pair of No. 1’s in roughout leather on the way to replace my current daily wear farm boots. I can’t wait to long term test them in non dress-up dirty life mode.

Love the quality and construction of this Boot. Just by taking a glance you know it's well built. The Leather is thick. I love that.
In saying that , these boots are true to size and very comfortable. I own a restaurant and wore them for the evening while I worked. I could keep these on for 12 hours straight and be comfortable. I place these Boots right up there with the best boot makers

Howdy y’all!

For 8 years, my regular boot was a pair of Lucchese Classic Ropers, L3515, purchased from Allens Boots on South Congress. Those boots were, and are, soft, supple and quite comfortable. Enough so that I’d wear them often, and sometimes daily, for weeks or months at a time. So that’s my baseline.

The King Ropers are at least as comfortable, though will probably be less supple than other ostrich boots you might have tried. Will told me this is because he used a thicker leather to keep the boots from getting “floppy” as they break in.

If you know the Chisos fit, you’ll know generally how these boots fit, but the traditional roper heel gives a different feel. And the shaft is is narrower than my other Lucchese and Chisos boots. I can still get these boots on and off with ease, maybe not quite as easily, though, as my others. And this does mean the King Ropers can be worn with more narrow legged pants.

And of course, these boots have that Chisos quality you’ve come to expect.

I really like the look and feel of these boots, and will enjoy wearing them for years.

I have a half dozen pair of boots, but these are different. The shaft of the boot fits much closer to my leg (shin/calf) which allows me to wear them with dress pants that I ordinarily wouldn’t be able to wear boots with, I.e. something other than boot cut. See picture below for comparison to my Lucchesse boots. They’re very comfortable (the most comfortable boot I have) and appear very well made.

Chisos ostrich ropers are classy and stylish… and come with the much established superior comfort that Chisos is known for. I have 5 pair of Chisos now and will be a lifetime supporter. Fantastic boots. Thank you!

Bought two pair Jim roper orange works well a business suit. Lots of compliments. Full Quill is a big hit. Matching belt tops it off. Will they ever make this in a butterscotch ….? The black full
Quill even better.

While I started the process with Juan...when I went back to decide between the #6 in Brushed Brown or the King Roper, Will was able to persuade me to the King Roper. We had a great conversation. Breaking in nicely and beautiful build quality. Lots of compliments.

Very comfortable , very happy with this purchase. I no more choose to wear high sole rubber snickers . These feel right and look good.

They feel like I got nothing on. Very light and feel great. Only wish the color was darker. Also, when putting on and take NG off is very difficult due to them being so soft. Not a deal breaker but thought I'd let you all know.

Really great roper boot. The heel feels a little bit taller than other ropers I’ve had, but it’s not too tall. I’d love to see other exotics make it into this roper cut. The quality is really great and I feel good wearing them to game day or in slacks with a jacket!

Everything I could have imagined. Great fit great style absolutely perfect.

Wow, these boots are awesome. Feel great, look great, and receive plenty of compliments. I thought I'd only wear them occasionally, but I find myself always looking to wear them whenever I can. Having watched multiple youtube videos on this company, and now actually owning a pair myself, I can tell these are truly top notch boots.

The King Roper is a great looking boot. I would have given it a 5 star but I just wished that the shaft had some type of embroidery related to the Chisos mountains. Other wise the fit is great. I can use the insert provided by Chisos or my prescribed orthotics. Great product!

tried to put them on the first day i recieved them an that was a 30 min ordeal i have to be honest at this point im a little disappointed as to why the boots are made in this manner it was so aggravating that at this point ive just set them aside an not worn them yet

Great boots when it comes to comfort and style took these boys for a long walking day trip and they held up great

I've been wearing cowboy boots for 40 years at least 4 days a week. Recently I've had some lower back issues, causing discomfort wearing my other pairs of boots. The Chisos are much more comfortable and have allowed me to get back to wearing boots on a regular basis. They are worth the money.

I purchased the King Roper in 12D. The boot didn't fit as snug as many other brands across the top of my foot. The 12D fits more like a 12EE so I'd recommend going a size down to avoid the flipping in the heel like I'm experiencing.. Unfortunately, I didn't try them on in a carpeted area so I couldn't return for a smaller size. Other than that, its a great boot.
