    Tecovas

    Excellent boots (the Earl in Bourbon Calf)!

    Overall Experience:

    I finally go around to ordering a pair of Tecovas. I've been wanting a pair for well over a year now, and my birthday was the perfect opportunity to take the plunge. I'm glad I did!

    When it comes to apparel, many companies post pictures that make their products look way better online or in a catalog than how they actually look in person. When my boots arrived, I was shocked to notice that these looked just as good in person as they do online (even better, perhaps). The quality of construction and attention to detail is top notch. I don't care if they are made in Mexico. It's obvious that the folks making Tecovas boots know what they are doing, and Leon, Mexico has a very rich tradition in fine leatherworks.

    My main concern with ordering these boots was the fit. Fortunately, Tecovas makes it very easy to exchange them for a different size, if needed. A postage-paid return address envelope is included in the box. Just make sure to ship them back in "new" condition (meaning no scuffs on the soles), and Tecovas will gladly swap them out for a new size of your choosing. You don't pay anything extra. For me, I got lucky, and my boots fit perfectly right out of the box.

    One of the details that stands out with these boots is the use of bovine leather throughout the entire interior of the boot. Most other boots use nice leather lining in the shaft, and part of the way through the vamp, but then transition to either cloth or an inferior leather as it gets towards the toe. The inclusion of high-quality leather lining throughout the entire interior sets these boots apart, and really adds to the overall comfort of the boots.

    After wearing these a few times, they are already starting to break in nicely. I can tell these are going to wear well - even though they are so soft. The calfskin leather is very high quality - I've never felt such a soft leather before. Lastly, the smell of these boots is amazing. They have such a deep, rich leather smell, even having been out of the box for a few days, the smell is still very strong. I love it!

    I will definitely look to Tecovas again if and when I decide to order another pair of boots. You really can't beat the quality they offer at the price-point. I've tried on other brands that are twice the cost, and didn't seem as well-made as these. Great boots all-around; I cannot recommend them enough.

    Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
