Took a chance and want disappointed Verified Purchase
I'm a carpenter and was looking for a pair of lightweight work boots which also gives me a bit of height. I have been wearing the chamaripa for 6 months now.
I feel these boots may be a little sturdier in that area but have only been wearing them for about two weeks now.
1) They were comfortable right out of the box.
2) I did give them good oiling and then used a waterproof sealer as well. They got tested today in the mud for about 5 hours and my feet stayed dry.
There are two items that are negative but not deal breakers.
1- The sole is harder than other elevators.
2- It would be nice to have a hook instead of an eye at the top of the shoe to make it a bit easier to get on and off.

Wide and roomy boots Verified Purchase
Best boot I have worn. Started the Grape harvest season in another brand, but i could not take it anymore. After trying on nearly every boot at my local boot store, my sales person brought out the chamaripa website to me. I ordered and found wide and roomy boots. Heaven on my feet. I wore them out the door and went to work.
Thank you chamaripa!

Highly recommended for short height Verified Purchase
Very comfortable and well-made boots. Boots run a little big for me. I had to order the next smaller size. I plan to wear to work eventually but for now I'm wearing them out for casual. I would say no break in problems, finally a light work boot that looks good! keep up the good work

THE PERFECT LIGHTWEIGHT & AROUND-TOWN WORK BOOT Verified Purchase
Very comfortable right out of the box . . . no break-in needed. So light and versatile that they are now my all-day, everyday boot. I only wish they were also available in a low-top shoe for around town use. Removable footbed allowed me to install new insole footbeds for a bit better support. I treat the leather every couple of weeks with a waterproofing boot wax.

All time favourite Verified Purchase
No. They aren't the most rugged boot, and yes they come unconditioned, but they're a soft toe with no heel, what did you expect?! They are by far the most comfortable boot I've ever owned in elevator section, hands down! I'm on my feet ten hours a day and my feet never hurt in these boots even with extra height of 2.76 inches. I get compliments on how good looking they are ALL the time. I wear them everywhere, so often I will be purchasing a second pair so as not to wear them down too quickly!

Need to improve insole quality Verified Purchase
I love these boots. They look great, feel great, however the right shoe's sole has begun to split towards the toe. I purchased the boots in late October-early November. The boots are still in great shape, but I worry the sole will continue to split. I'll be ordering new piece of insoles. Otherwise good shoes.

Good boots for lot of travel Verified Purchase
I'm a constructor in Los Angeles. I travel locally a lot. I've been looking for a lightweight, comfortable work boot with a wide toe box for a long time. The leather on these boots is thin enough to break in quickly and form around your foot. I also bought some insole inserts for more comfort and the pairing has worked well. I like these boots so much, I have bought a second pair even though my first pair is 9months old and shows no signs of failing. I also think they are handsome enough and comfortable enough to wear outside of work. Please make this same boot indefinitely.

Most comfortable boots Verified Purchase
I use these boots for everything from construction work to yard work. They are ridiculously comfortable (and I have the most difficult feet to please). I want to buy another pair so I can have one "work" pair, and one "nice" pair. Should have bought these boots years ago.

Trendy shoes for casual wear Verified Purchase
Great casual boot, refined design (height insole is high quality and nice touch) without being stuffy or stupid about it. Requires a little break in on top of boot rim / back of leg, but all in all really nice, lightweight, dress up or dress down boots. I liked the lining material very much and give it 5 stars!

Average! Verified Purchase
There is a rough spot above the heal/ Achilles that made these boots uncomfortable. Maybe a bigger shoe size would help but I would like good quality lined if the site says it is.

Sim Apr 3, 2019
Nice fit Verified Purchase
I have worn chamaripa loafers for years , in part, because I have a short height. I prefer boots for the winter months but have hesitated to purchase on-line due to the difficulty finding a boot to fit. I was pleasantly surprised when my recent on-line purchase of the boot, based on the size fit perfectly.

Good but not returnable Verified Purchase
Sweepstakes - Very nice boot. Sizing runs about an inch longer than usual. Free return was not available for internet sales. But now it shows that its returnable. I'm not sure about it.

Little problem in finishing Verified Purchase
I found the leather trim and detailing was sewn together, i could see were the stain stopped and there was a natural leather color instead. As the shoes wear and break in I'm sure it will become less noticeable, but brand new you can't help but see it. I will give it 4 stars

Joshua Apr 3, 2019
Fairly good product Verified Purchase
The boots looked great, but they do run about a full size too big. I usually wear a 7 and these had about 3/4 of an inch of space between my toes and the tip of the shoe. Shipping was great from chamaripa as well. The only negative thing I could say about the shoes is that the leather stain on the Black color wasnt perfect.

Fantastic boots, room for improvement in service Verified Purchase
The boot is absolutely beautiful. It is by far the most beautiful and well fit boot I have owned. My only frustration is that when my I made my purchase they charged my card 3 times and trying to reach out to someone or get a response to email and a voicemail were disappointing. My Amex made sure it was taken care of so it is fixed but communication should have been better.

nice one Verified Purchase
Nice shoes, but they ended up fitting my feet poorly. I had to return them. They are really nice shoes. But, unfortunately, not for my feet. Will try other styles someday.

Nice leather with matte look Verified Purchase
I never have had a pair of chamaripa boots but after buying this pair I will be sure to look for more in the future. I am picky about what I wear on my feet and this boot is both comfortable and yet stylish which appeals to my business casual attire at work and anything outside of it. Great boot!

Bran Apr 3, 2019
Very nice boots and I would recommend it Verified Purchase
I really like these boots. Very stylish, comfortable and you can tell they are quality. Took me just an hour of walking around before I felt they were broken in and that was great. It's nice when it doesn't take blisters on your heal to break in boots. I definitely recommend these boots.

Jonathan Apr 3, 2019
I would buy it again Verified Purchase
Dot great and look great. Run just a little large. I wear a 7 in other chamaripa shoes but these in 7 are just a little big. I still wear them but maybe could have been ok with an 6.5. Comfortable to wear all day long.

Great buy for fall/winter Verified Purchase
I am happy with these boots, they are stylish but also very functional/durable for fall/winter. I've been wearing them to work but also business casual events. I prefer height increasing insoles because I'm 5.3 and these shoes does the job very well. Also comfortable to wear all day long. 5 stars.

Good medium range brand Verified Purchase
I would definitely buy this boot again. It fits great and very comfortable. I wear it to work, with jeans or with dress slacks. I really liked the color on the website (dusky balck) and worried the real boot would not present in the same color. But it did. I am very happy with this boot.

versatile boots Verified Purchase
While at first I thought the sizing was a little long, it was just the toe narrowing at the top, and they actually do fit true to size. This boot hugs my feet, in a great way, and it didn't even take that long to break in to the desired comfort level. To those who may feel (like I did, prior) that dress boots may not look as "dressy" as needed - I have a suit on today, and these dress boots may feel durable and rugged to me, yet they look like pure dress shoes to everyone else. I am very satisfied with these dress boots and recommend them highly.

Sambit Apr 3, 2019
comfortable,durable,dressy! Verified Purchase
This is my first height-increasing dress boot, so I was curious as to how it would feel, look, and act. I am thoroughly impressed! I was interested in a dress boot for work for the winter months, as I cover a lot of ground on my commute and wanted something durable, even rugged, that could withstand snow and slush and ice and salt, yet still look great and dressy. These dress boots certainly have my trust.
|
Jay Apr 3, 2019
5 stars! Verified Purchase
I got these elevator pair and they look great with almost anything. That being said, one thing to be aware of is that they do fit about a full size too big, so make sure to order a smaller size than you might be used to in a normal shoe. All in all, I would definitely recommend this product, you will not be disappointed!

Jacob Apr 3, 2019
The best of both! Verified Purchase
I wore these right out of the box in downtown Chicago for a full day of walking around, and they were awesome! I found them super comfortable to walk in for long periods of time, and the style is second to none for a casual boot. You can get dressed up and also keep it casual in these, as they are very versatile.

Kat Apr 3, 2019
Style, comfort and height all in one boot! Verified Purchase
I really love the look and color (dusky balck) of this boot. It's perfect for the winter season and to wear in the business casual office where I work everyday. The only small negative I have on the boots so far is that they are a little stiff. Suspect they will loosen up as I wear them more often and break them in. As of this writing, I have only worn them 3 times.
|
Benjamin Apr 3, 2019
I will buy again! Verified Purchase
Shoes are of high quality and very comfortable once broken in. I have received positive comments from others about the style. Its great wear in winter season and its lining material is just awesome. I got this in free shipping to South Africa and I just loved the cow leather that is used. I will give it 5 stars!
|
Justin Apr 3, 2019
Good buy Verified Purchase
My only complaint about these boots is that one shoe creased substantially more than the other. but at this price point, they're pretty good shoes. They ran just a little large for me.

Stylin'& Profilin' whoooo! Verified Purchase
This dress boot can pass as a dress shoe for casual/formal meetings. the outer sole is more of a rubber texture, so you will have quite step unless you drag your feet. I like the 2 in 1 functionality of the boot, height plus style. I don't like the thin strings, but I guess that's what gives it it's finishing touch. You can't go wrong with Chamaripa. Stylin'& Profilin' whoooo!

great boot for everyday wear Verified Purchase
Great fit. I swear that chamaripa used my feet for a mold, that's why I only buy elevator shoes for here, always a consistently perfect fit. This boot is perfect with jeans or business casual attire and comfortable all day long!!!
They have rubber on the bottom so they are quiet and comfy. I would recommend it.

Broke them in this weekend and they were comfortable starting Friday at work all day through Sunday. They have rubber on the bottom so they are quiet and comfy.
Great Boots! Excellent fit. Good finish and overall quality.

Leander Apr 3, 2019
exactly what I was looking for Verified Purchase
With my plus foot, these fit really well. They were a bit snug at first, but stretched to fit after a few wears. Break in was quick, and I would agree with the recommendation to buy a 1/2 size smaller than you usually would. More dressy than tough, but still could work for either. Basically, Excellent fit. Good finish and overall quality.

MICA Apr 3, 2019
good product Verified Purchase
Great boots - very comfortable, dressy enough to go with a suit, and enough tread to handle moderate outdoor walking. I started with the black ones, and went back and wanted to buy more colors but they dont seem available. I like the cushioning material and best part is there free global shipping. I got them in Brazil!

height insole of 7 cm Verified Purchase
Really good fit out of the box however the pair that I bought was a little smaller. But they are exactly what I was looking for, boots that are functional and dressy, A great boot. Fits well and looks great. This is an excellent dress boot. I would recommend it 100%.

excellent craftsmanship Verified Purchase
My boots are Casual / dressy look, so they can be worn in most occasions. I appreciate the entire experience, from the customer service to the final product. Customer service was very helpful, and with the promotional code, purchasing from you was the best deal found. I'll definitely buy more chamaripa products based on this experience. Thanks!!

awesome looker Verified Purchase
Looks fantastic, nice firm ankle. Hope it wears well - I was looking everywhere for boots with a certain look and height insole and this hits it on the head. I'd like to be able to wear these for a long time to come. These are handsome boots. More comfortable than other boots I have! Love them.

Amy Apr 3, 2019
reasonable priced Verified Purchase
Great looking boot, even better than the photo on the site. A tremendous value, comparable to boots that are $200 more. Very comfortable but I had to order a size down as the other reviews were correct that it runs a little large.
In short, Good quality, ok price. Very comfortable.

Pleased customer Verified Purchase
Like the boots. Took a few times to get the right feel for lacing, to where they weren't too snug or too loose. Great looking boot. Many compliments. Order a half to full size smaller. Had ordered other brand, returned because too big, replaced with chamaripas, full size smaller and fits perfect. Well made boot. I would recommend it 100%

Very comfortable and well-constructed pair of boots; I wear them every day during cold winter spells. Comparable to much pricier boots in the market. Excellent quality, style and fit. The best shoe available at a reasonable price! All in all very happy with my purchase and would recommend.

great boot for $149 Verified Purchase
Well made boot. The leather lining is a little deceptive but it does have some leather on the inside of the boot. The rest of the lining is a durable cloth. They are very comfortable and have broken in after a few hours of wear. Very happy with this boot.

versatile, comfort, great buy Verified Purchase
Love this shoe! I love the versatility in that I can dress it up or down. Very comfortable fits about half size to big. If I had two wishes, I wish the leather was a touch softer and the sole profile was slimmer. All in all very happy with my purchase and would recommend.

Noel Apr 3, 2019
Wanted to love them but no leather lining Verified Purchase
I liked these boots, they look great and sole is very comfortable. The size does run small and has very limited sizes in list but what really made no sense to me is the nylon/burlap lining. I double checked the description and it says leather lined for breath-ability but it is not leather lined.

The product was bad Verified Purchase
During my very first wear, the eyelet on the right tongue that the laces pass through snapped off. I emailed the company and the were quick to send me a return label. I've dropped them off and am waiting the next step. If it comes back fixed or replaced, and holds up, I will update the rating if they let me.

I appreciate your thorough follow-up. The product is great. I'd prefer faster shipping but that is a preference, not an expectation of your service

Great looking, too long Verified Purchase
Too big/long by one size. Wear 7 in all other chamaripa styles/other brands. Will be exchanging. Shoes look awesome, but should indicate "runs long- select a 1/2 -1size down " plus there is only two sizes in the list. What the heck!?

so squeaky it irritates Verified Purchase
I'm really surprised at how squeaky the soles are on tile, linoleum, or any other smooth surface floors. It's driving me nuts and I can tell my coworkers are thoroughly annoyed. It's an impossible task to determine how loud your shoes will be!
