Chippewa Men's Paladin 8" Waterproof Steel Toe Logger Work Boot

My husband has been wearing these 30 years or so and we buy 1-2 pairs a year. I wish I caught them on sale but we still buy them annually or more. Great boots that can take the wear and tear well

I am a boot connoisseur. I've had Red wings, Timberland, Caterpiller, Craftsman, Thorogood, Carolinas, just to name a few. I am not sure how these boots used to be made but in my experience these are probably the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. Granted I only use these for dress shoes. they are so nice looking and with the kiltie it's all over. You feel your wearing a real boot made for... well I guess my foot. the fit is that nice. I have a wide foot and these fit incredible. I updated the insole to a ortholite and added the kiltie. Better than my overpriced Red wings.

These loggers are the best i have ever worn. Generous toe box that does not pinch toes. 5th pair of these i have bought. I wear orthotics and have trouble finding shoes that fit comfortably. Been wearing these for years. Fit is always perfect! My foot is narrow and standard width is always perfect, even with orthotics. They are incredibly sturdy and i get almost 2 years out of them wearing them every day on rough construction sites. Highly recommended. Plus they are very handsome boots. I tell every redwing wearer to switch to these.

Great boots . I bought them for my grandson and he was thrilled with them. Just what he had been wanting.Can’t believe that such an expensive boot came with such a cheap lace. Had to buy some leather laces shortly after getting the boots. Other than that there were no issues.

Don't bother. I've had two pair of these in less than six months. If you plan to actually wear them, and especially if you plan to wear them daily at a job site, they will fail you in at least two important ways. They are billed as waterproof boots, but they are not, at all. Even water resistant is inaccurate. They are more like sponges. The most water absorbent boot I've ever had the misfortune of wearing. For this reason, and because the leather was already worn through at the toe on one boot, Amazon replaced the first pair within a month. I had owned Chippewa boots before and liked them very much. In fact, I still have a well worn pair that I wear periodically, and I bought them at least six years ago. They are in much better shape than the ones I'm reviewing presently. And that pair in particular has been through the ringer. They have seen some really hard wear and are still a somewhat satisfactory work boot. These (73101) are wholly insufficient as a work boot right out of the box. Anyway, I returned my first pair of 73101s and received a replacement, thinking all the while that I probably just got an unusually bad pair. The second pair arrived and I experienced the same problems. Don't wear them in the rain, and don't even think about walking through puddles if you do. You'll have wet feet the rest of the day. And if you do buy a pair, be prepared for the cheapest boot leather you've ever seen. It will wear away in small chip-tears (don't know how to explain it); little pieces of leather will begin hanging off, sort of like hangnails, and, in addition to just looking ridiculous, you'll find that before long it has worn away entirely in one or two spots. This will happen with a great deal of ease. Did you bump the toe of your boot on the front stoop as you were coming in the door? Lo, you have unwittingly made a strategic error. Do that, or some such common footwear mishap, a few more times, and you'll have yourself a nice hole in the leather. Once you can see the underlining or the steel toe, you'll be amazed at how thin it was to begin with, probably not better than 1/32 of an inch. There should be a law against such poor quality in boot making. The only thing worthwhile about these boots is the Vibram sole. It's embarrassing that such a good sole is used on such a shoddy boot. Within 2 months, your new boots will look like hell, but the soles will have a lot of life left. What's the point? Anyway, if you're just itching to get rid of about $200, go to the bathroom right now and flush it down the toilet. In addition to wasting the money, you don't also want to have to endure the headache that will come as a result of purchasing a pair of these worthless boots. Spare yourself the frustration.FYI: I didn't want to take advantage of Amazon's return policy for the second pair, so I contacted Chippewa. They graciously promised to respond in 72 hours, and then did absolutely nothing. They have all my contact information, but I have heard nothing either by email, post or phone. That was weeks ago.

They are comfortable, I am not impressed with the fact that one of the boot laces is broken right out of the package. I will update as to longevity.

I wear a 12 EE they fit by far the best out of all of the boots I've owned. They're a lot lighter then i was expecting too, I've owned the Carolina logger boots twice and these have lasted a lot longer then those have and they don't give me knee issues like the Carolina boots did. The insole out the gate I changed into the Timberland Pro ones and they are even better with those

Always a perfect fit .Sturdy , comfortable,durable and looks great . Fast delivery .
