| Sizing Notes |
| These period-correct tall boots are made slightly wide, and also have a classic square toe box. This means that they will fit and feel looser than modern cowboy boots. For a snugger fit, some customers choose to wear heavier socks, or use sizing inserts inside the boots. |

Still evaluating the boots for fitting
They are very high quality, patient with the leather it'll fixed itself with the time, and I wish everyone who buys them a great way to walk with. 🤠🥰
These were a Christmas gift for my grandson. He is a member of a militia reenactment group. He wore them all day. Loved them!!
Good toe box, heel area is a little big for me but getting shrunk up
Wish they came in 1/2 sizes , and had some protection soles. Comes with plain leather on soles. But other than that nice boots
This product, as I'm coming to realize with a lot of things from this website came in not even close to the correct color it shows and says it's supposed to be. The pair of boots I received were almost black they were so dark. The size of the calf was also gigantic, so instead of hugging my leg it looks like I'm wearing rainboots made for a giant. After such instances of this happening over and over again with items, I will no longer be ordering from this website and suggest others do the same for less risk.
Boots were everything we hoped for and were received very quickly! Person receiving boots were estatic and will be wearing them to Gettysburg, PA for a trade show.
The 1860 style leather riding boots were a milestone birthday gift for a family member who does living history of an 1860 chaplain. We couldn't be happier! He will wear them in Gettysburg, PA. In July!
Boots
unfortunately did not match my need. Had to return but an excellent boot for the $s
This story ends nicely. I ordered the Long Riding Boots, and when they arrived, one boot, though marked the right size, was noticeably smaller than the other boot. I took photographs and contacted customer service. They were fast in contacting me with the offer to ship another pair, on them. The second pair came with no issues. I am very pleased!
Sized well.
My Amish boot guy will correct them. They pinched in back because of lack of support.
I'm not that disappointed, just a little because I will have to spend money to correct this deficiency. Otherwise they look great!
Loved the look. Lots of great feedback. Had a couple friends asked to borrow them. I was best man at a frontier, wild west wedding.
Great.. authentic look of the old west
A fine pare of boots. I will be putting rubber heels on them. Very much recommend.
Boots
perfect
I have wide feet that require a square toed boot. My job requires black leather boots. I had just about given up on finding decent looking, comfortable boots at an affordable price. These boots fit well, seem to be durable, and shine up really well. I have received lots of compliments on them.
Great for historical reenactments and good enough for every day use. I use size 10.5-11. I ordered size 10 and they fit loose which is perfect because I use thick insoles.
very comfortable easy to wear great fit can be wore with most of my outfits i highly recommend these boots
These boots are made basically the same way as was done in the 1860s and issued by the govt., though men could purchase their own boots of a higher quality. Square-toed, they are wide enough for me and I wear a 9-Wide and might have been okay with a size 8-Wide in these boots. Well constructed and sturdy though unlined and your pant legs will probably have to be stuffed into them, but that's how these were worn back in their time. Excellent for reenactment. I shall be Lt. Col. Sawdust!
I wear a size 12 EEE, finally , a boot that comfortably fits, had others that did'nt even come close to these.
I have a fair number of western boots. Some were for SASS, others for snake country. I will summarize these boots so you can decide for yourself. Overall, for the money, they are a good deal. The boots are not lined so they will sag unless you stuff your pants into them. Soles and heels are leather and will not stand up well to water. I bought rubber sole and heel caps and glued them on with Shoe Goo, also sealing the leather edges, boot heel, etc. My foot size is 10D. I often buy a size larger (since I don't run marathons in boots) in order to be able to remove them; but since I read so much of these boots being oversize, I bought 10 normal width. The length is good but the width is way large. I added insoles. There is no spur shelf so getting these off (with a tight fit) will be murder. The tops of my boots measured 18" in circumference. Since these boots measure 18" from heel to top, without a large circumference it would be very difficult to get your foot into a narrow shaft, tall boot, without a zipper. Ever wonder why people buy tall boots with zippers...this is why. These are the tallest boots I have ever found and I have 6 pairs of high-priced kicks. I bought these for work I do not want to subject $350+ boots to.
I was a little leery when purchasing these boots as the price seemed too good to be true compared to what other boots in the same style run.
Reviews overwhelmingly complained that the top opening was too big, which was a godsend for me, I have a hard time finding tall boots because I have massive Calf muscles and almost every boot is nowhere near loose enough in the stovepipe to get up my leg. These ones were perfect. Great value and made very well for the price. Toe is very very square, but i like it, reminds me of civil war era dragoon styled riding boots. Would buy again.
Purchased the tall riding boots in black. Fit very well.
Satisfied with the quality. The only way they could have been better is if they were fully leather lined so the shafts would stand on their own.
Teriffic boots. Ordered one full size smaller than my usual shoe size, and the fit is perfect.
Would happily recommend them to anyone.
For costume, light wear only. I returned them as I need something that is going to last.
I love these boots! I bought them to wear in a western horror film I'm acting in. I will wear these in real life too. Very nice boots. Great quality.
These are fantastic boots. I have been eying them longingly for a while and finally ordered. As of this review, I have been wearing them for several weeks and have to report that they are excellent! The leather is high quality. These are well made, serviceable boots that would easily stand up to a day in the saddle--they are not cosmetic props. I was a little concerned at first because I have a difficult time getting a good fitting shoe, so I am cautious about ordering footwear I can't try on first. The other reviews are spot on about the sizing. The boots run large, so order down. I wear orthotics and envisioned winter hunting socks, so I ordered a 9 when I normally wear a 9.5 I have my orthotics in and thick socks and have a near perfect fit (they are actually just a tad on the roomy side, but that's what I wanted). Great boots!
These boots are very nice and comfortable. My only dislike is that the top of the boot is a little too wide. I am tall and thin. The width is suited for a much bigger calf.
Most people say order a size down. I would go so far as to say order two sizes down. I wear a size twelve, normally. But the size 10 boot fits perfectly. Solid construction. Better than anything you'd find at JC Penny's. I would say that the calf circumference is a bit large. It still works. But it doesn't quite have that narrow look all the way up that is seen so often in the old pictures. I do think they are worth the price.
