Mistakes happen but it is how the company responds that really makes the difference. The fact that Tecovas is making an attempt to make things right with their customers is very important. They will definitely have to make sure the lines of communications are working well in the future. The fact that they had received 3 boxes and only used one box for the photos seems strange. I would have thought that each box would have been opened and examined. Time will tell how well they implement the needed changes. Fantastic video, Jeremiah!
I remember that the boot dissapeared from the website and I wasnt quite sure why. This definitely makes sense. Im glad they are taking this seriously and not blowing it off. I almost ordered the womens because their snip toe cowgirl boots actually fit me nice lol
I think Paul Hedrick stepped down because he swore Tecovas would never make a wide square toe... he thinks they're ugly. I'm joking, but he did say something along those lines, back in the day
I’ve got four pairs of Tecovas, every boot is flawless and as advertised. With that said, I almost bought these, but if I got the belly cut version I would have returned them. $hit happens in all industries, as long as they make it right, and doesn’t happen often.
Depending on the color, but in the natural I prefer the back cut. The belly cut (the one shipped) has an instant 'that's cool' effect but then quickly turns fake-looking to me. Plus I think they also look a bit more suited for females. Just one man's opinion.
It is a pair of footwear. It is not a life-saving medication that was switched out for something detrimental to one's health. Return it, get your money back, and move on with your life. People online (and in society) these days are so trigger-happy when it comes to crying foul. A $100 credit towards another purchase is more than generous! The who's-to-blame game is no one's business but that of the company itself. Here's hoping that they correct the problem so that something like this does not happen again.
@@JeremiahCraig I live in Houston, Tecovas had there warehouse sale a few weeks back, I bought the black smooth ostrich cutter toe for 189.00, brand new
Was this really that big of a deal?? It was a mishap that the company compensated handsomely. I have never bought a pair from them but seeing how they handled themselves in that situation tells me they care about me.
If they cared about you they wouldn't have sent you the wrong boots. It was a huge deal because it's highly likely they were well aware of the issue and sent them out anyways so they weren't stuck with hundreds of pairs of unsold boots. They are a company, not some innocent Etsy craft maker.
Tecovas realized his mistake from the beginning, but they had to get as much production as possible, that's why they are deducting 100 from your next pair and not from the snake one. 
Human error & quality control -- even boils down to quality of workmanship, too. There's always bad eggs in a large batch. Just like any other company in the world, mistakes were made, and how they're battling the PR now by doing damage control is the very corporate way of doing it. Took a hit, but will keep moving forward as they should. You cannot please everyone -- people just simply want to complain (personal gain & satisfaction, profit through social media, etcetera). I own 2 pair of Tecovas, and although they're not my dailies, I don't feel indifferent with them compared to anything else I wear. Truth be told, not many people around my neck of the woods pay attention to your boots -- everyone has them.
There is something seriously fishy here. Tecovas notified it's customer base Nov 12th that this boot has been released via a text. Are we really to believe not a single tecovas affiliated person at the boot factory in Leon didn't see the boot on the website and say something to tecovas about it? Let's not forget they have a brand new CEO and C-suite brought in to make more profit and reduce costs, we don't know what was done behind the scenes or when they were aware of this issue, or if they thought they could get away with it. Out of the countless people in Mexico who work on these boots, in close contact with tecovas never saw the boot on the tecovas website when it was released? Or maybe tecovas just wanted to sell as many of these before they got caught because they knew they would be stuck with this product. This way they aren't stuck with hundreds of boots, but maybe only a fraction and figured maybe 50% returned is still better than being stuck with selling none of them. You guys need to stop pretending tecovas are a bunch of angels versus a cut throat company dead set on profit with their new CEO.
Interesting fact question totally off topic. Which company makes a high arch boot? In other words I have high arches and I have a hard time getting my foot inside the boot
What was it again, about the buck stopping where?😉 When you’re in charge…! Btw, I’ve had the wrong pair of (non western) boots from another company sent to me in a box with the correct label. When I complained accompanied by pics of the boots and the label on the box, they sent me the correct pair without asking for the return of the wrong pair. I contacted them and they confirmed that I can keep that pair as well. Now that’s CUSTOMER SERVICE.
For anyone that wears Tecovas, do you also have a very difficult time getting them off? I currently own 5 pairs and never have a problem with the others but Tecovas always have me breaking a sweat.
Get yourself a boot jack, if you don't have one already. An inexpensive one (from the Barn of Boots) will do just fine. Man's best invention since sliced bread.
I've owned two pairs of tecovas and returned them both because I couldn't pull them off. And I have narrow feet. Switched to Rujo boots and never went back.
When I was given a faulty pair of boots by Tecovas, they offered me 10% off a new pair. Not even a bigger discount than signing up for text marketing. Definitely never buying another pair from this company.
Due to a recent issue with brand I had personally this does not surprise me in the least. What does surprise me is that they are trying to make it right. Didn't happen on my end and they last a customer. I have a lot of boots from them, but not another one will come in this house.
To be honest… I own a pair snake boots. They are not for everyone. Note: Mine are not from Tecovas 😉. Got mine straight from Mexico. Any brand in any Texas store is over price my personal opinion. But in regards to this boots either you like them or you don’t. If some customers bought boots and got some money back due to different part of the snake. Consider yourself lucky. 🥃 Cheers!
I agree it is much cheaper to buy a pair of boots in Mexico...but now days it just seems a little too dangerous to go bargain shopping there when you are easily identified as a non-Mexican citizen. If that was not the case I would continue shopping there. 😢🇲🇽
Tecovas is such an odd company. They have loyalists, enthusiasts, and apologists that defend it like its their own company. I quickly left their Facebook group because I realized it was being run by Tecovas employees.Funny enough, I popped on it recently after being gone almost a year and it was the same thing......consumers posting pics of damaged goods and the "enthusiasts" arguing that they see nothing wrong🤣 Even stranger is that the boots are pretty average in design and build and many of us who own boots can see it immediately in the details. They are the IKEA of cowboy boots, so how have they had such mass appeal so quickly? Ive determined Tecovas is not a cowboy boot company but rather a marketing company selling boots. Full transparency, I do own a couple pairs and they are ok, but they aren't deserving of the mobs of loyalists that defend the company as if its their own. This latest debacle didnt surprise me in the least bit. Anyways, I have a beautiful pair of vintage 10d Justin Pythons that Id love to sell for less than half the price of these and I guarantee they are nicer even at over 30 years old. Free shipping CONUS😉
I don't own tecovas boots, rather three pairs of Justin's and now a pair of desperados from Thursday boot company. I got the desperados as I've had many other boots and shoes from Thursday, my favorite being their American made logger. Got their cowboy boots and love them, actually like them more than my Justin's. A lot more comfortable. From what I can see, tecovas looks like the Honda Civic of cowboy boots, and thus I'm not surprised there's a bunch of people screaming "just as good".
We’ll i love DAN POST ! Forget tecovas ! I bought three pairs and all are 10s I bought the manning Python brown the sly pythons and now the black cherry caimans mens byou caiman belly which are gorgeous I grabbed them for 329$ the 950- 300 all are easily 500-1000 in luchese brand n not a better boot in fact unless their crocs caimans or snakes are worst then other reptiles then these boots are solid !!!!
Tecovas won’t fit me I don’t know why but they just don’t I love how they look but they are terrible for my feet I have wear boots all my life I have dan post ariat Tony lamas but tecovas just won’t fit my type of feet I guess😢
Honestly, I don't buy that excuse... Why did the Sadie (women's boot) end up with a back-cut while the Bryce had a belly-cut? Don't get me wrong, I love their boots, but there was a disconnect somewhere else they aren't saying.
They realized they had 100s of these boots already made and shipped them out knowing the issue. That way at least they sell 60% of them versus losing the sales. We all got the text on Nov 12th and saw the boots on the website, and not a single person at their factory in Mexico for the text or saw the website? The lies here are so easy to spot.
While I have liked Tecovas Boots, I think they've become too big for their britches. I liked the company when it was small & scrappy. Over 7 years, the company's expansion has been dramatic... from only boots to western wear, overpriced boot jack, and brick-and-mortar stores creating tremendous overhead. I like and wear their boots, but am not a fan of how big Tecovas has become. I also have become more of a fan of Rujo Boots which I think are made better and fit me better, too.
Sorry, but people were expecting the boot to look a certain way, like what was pictured...simple, full refund or send me the boot that was shown, which wasn't the bellycut.
Went to flagship in Austin today and saw that the womens model, with the snip toe, does NOT have bellycut. Maybe this is a sign to Tecovas that Rattlesnake > Python.
I'm not so sure, the volume of boots they sell means they can negotiate for lower production costs. They have a new CEO who was hired to reduce costs and increase profit, hence the reason they raised their prices and quality has dropped.
I cannot believe that any boot company would sell such crappy-skinned boots, regardless of who saw or didn't see the specs on them. Kinda looks to me as if the skin's supplier ought to share part of the blame for this blunder.
BRYCE-GATE... The classic bait & switch. Lol what's behind box #1,2 or 3? Only if the price is right! 🤣 I've never tried on a pair of Tecovas, they don't seem to have the toe styles I like in various models. Mistakes happen, so I'll have to give them a pass!
Idiotic is what this is. Say it comes down to marketing, but it in fact comes down to the persistent incorrect references to the cut of leather for snakeskin! If you are describing it as ‘belly cut’, the cut of leather you receive is one with the belly scales. I have collected exotic leather western boots for decades and always call boots displaying the belly scales “belly cut”. I fully appreciate the snake is is sliced up the back, but just like the many different ‘cuts of beef’, the description of the cut is what matters - not the act of cutting itself. Bias cut alligator, tail cut, belly cut, the list goes on. You don’t get the head of the alligator by purchasing a ‘neck cut’….. It’s head cut. Quit incorrectly referencing the style of boot by using cut as a verb and instead reference it correctly as a noun which it is!
You may be the only one....Google it and you'll see the python 'cuts' for boots are exactly as Tecovas presented. Plain and simple, someone screwed up the order and they don't have QC in place to make sure the factory is delivering what they are expecting. Either that or you side with the conspiracy theorists who believe they knew exactly what happened and let it go anyway, hoping the $100 would be enough to satisfy anyone unhappy with the situation.
A "Tempest In a Teapot" and really not that big of a deal at the end of the day. Mistakes Happen(or as said in the Original "Predator"... $%&^ Happens...
Except there is sooo much more that goes into the retail price of a boot. This simple statement is no longer valid. For example, Tecova's newest competitor is Rujo, who appears to be selling very similar quality boots for about $50 less across the board. And many reviewers have concluded that the Rujo is a superior boot overall. Tecova's prices have to cover the added overhead costs of store locations, expanded marketing efforts, plus their expansion into selling more than just boots. Sure, every item they sell is profitable, some more than others. But along with the expanded presence comes some 'prestige' which allows them to charge a bit more. Some believe their early year boots were much better quality than what they put out nowadays, back when they had a simpler business model. Btw, the Rose Anvil guy was disappointed with what he found in the $1000 Lucchese's. Obviously a bit chunk of that price is due to being made in 'Merica.
@@bgnPrinceton as somebody who has owned multiple Rujo and tecovas, there is no comparison. Rujo is superior in design, quality, fit and equal customer service. Plus better prices.
@@unkownuser5809 I just wish they had more buying power as they're always OOS in the boots I want. Being a smaller player puts them at a disadvantage when sourcing from the same factory as the bigger players. Still looking forward to getting my first pair from them though. Actually first pair I bought I returned due to the color being nowhere near what it should have been.
I bought the boot because my granddad had a pair just like this boot! So I was hurt opening the box!! I did return the boots and now awaiting my refund!

Tecovas took it well and it shows by their customers response... over 60% of the customers kept the boots and the $100 discount. 😄
It has only been a few days since they started coming in. I am going to return mine soon and I would imagine more people are too.
@@keaton6 I returned mine and got the alligators🥰 paid $697 so I save over $100!
60% kept them is the reason they shipped them out in the first place. Better to screw the customer than be stuck with 100% of unsold product.

Brycegate 😂, good to see Tecovas were happy to chat to you about the mishap. Which of the three boots does everyone prefer?
Depending on the color, but in the natural I prefer the back cut. The belly cut (the one shipped) has an instant 'that's cool' effect but then quickly turns fake-looking to me. Plus I think they also look a bit more suited for females. Just one man's opinion.
Got mine in, I’m keeping them
$100 off the next pair of boots bought seems reasonable. I think they have free returns anyways right?
Hey Jeremiah, I'm sure you've seen the Thursday boots western launch. Are you going to be covering/Reviewing any of their boots?
Bought the desperados. Compared to my 3 pairs of Justin's, I like them a lot more. Justin's are much harsher on my feet in comparison.
Easy return and $100 in credit is a heck of a way to say we screwed up.
Big ups to Tecovas for admitting what they did and being transparent on what happened.

It would be so much easier if their factory was right in the USA where their offices are. Go figure….. 😂
How about the price hike with tecovas.
They announced when the prices were going to go up, much like the cost of everything in the world.
@@lredbull2387 thanks. I didn't get the memo
I'm not so sure, the volume of boots they sell means they can negotiate for lower production costs. They have a new CEO who was hired to reduce costs and increase profit, hence the reason they raised their prices and quality has dropped.
This seems inline with my horrible tecovas experience…won’t be buying anything from tecovas ever again!!!
Who the hell wears snake skin boots??
That is what the snakes are wondering too! 🐍 🐍
I cannot believe that any boot company would sell such crappy-skinned boots, regardless of who saw or didn't see the specs on them. Kinda looks to me as if the skin's supplier ought to share part of the blame for this blunder.
BRYCE-GATE... The classic bait & switch. Lol what's behind box #1,2 or 3? Only if the price is right! 🤣
I've never tried on a pair of Tecovas, they don't seem to have the toe styles I like in various models. Mistakes happen, so I'll have to give them a pass!
Idiotic is what this is. Say it comes down to marketing, but it in fact comes down to the persistent incorrect references to the cut of leather for snakeskin! If you are describing it as ‘belly cut’, the cut of leather you receive is one with the belly scales.
I have collected exotic leather western boots for decades and always call boots displaying the belly scales “belly cut”. I fully appreciate the snake is is sliced up the back, but just like the many different ‘cuts of beef’, the description of the cut is what matters - not the act of cutting itself. Bias cut alligator, tail cut, belly cut, the list goes on. You don’t get the head of the alligator by purchasing a ‘neck cut’….. It’s head cut. Quit incorrectly referencing the style of boot by using cut as a verb and instead reference it correctly as a noun which it is!
You may be the only one....Google it and you'll see the python 'cuts' for boots are exactly as Tecovas presented. Plain and simple, someone screwed up the order and they don't have QC in place to make sure the factory is delivering what they are expecting. Either that or you side with the conspiracy theorists who believe they knew exactly what happened and let it go anyway, hoping the $100 would be enough to satisfy anyone unhappy with the situation.
A "Tempest In a Teapot" and really not that big of a deal at the end of the day. Mistakes Happen(or as said in the Original "Predator"... $%&^ Happens...
I’ll never own a pair of tecrapas

You get what you pay for...they are no Lucchese's.
Except there is sooo much more that goes into the retail price of a boot. This simple statement is no longer valid. For example, Tecova's newest competitor is Rujo, who appears to be selling very similar quality boots for about $50 less across the board. And many reviewers have concluded that the Rujo is a superior boot overall. Tecova's prices have to cover the added overhead costs of store locations, expanded marketing efforts, plus their expansion into selling more than just boots. Sure, every item they sell is profitable, some more than others. But along with the expanded presence comes some 'prestige' which allows them to charge a bit more. Some believe their early year boots were much better quality than what they put out nowadays, back when they had a simpler business model. Btw, the Rose Anvil guy was disappointed with what he found in the $1000 Lucchese's. Obviously a bit chunk of that price is due to being made in 'Merica.
Lucchese isn't impressive construction wise at all. Beautiful but built cheap internally.
@@bgnPrinceton as somebody who has owned multiple Rujo and tecovas, there is no comparison. Rujo is superior in design, quality, fit and equal customer service. Plus better prices.
@@unkownuser5809 I just wish they had more buying power as they're always OOS in the boots I want. Being a smaller player puts them at a disadvantage when sourcing from the same factory as the bigger players. Still looking forward to getting my first pair from them though. Actually first pair I bought I returned due to the color being nowhere near what it should have been.
I bought the boot because my granddad had a pair just like this boot! So I was hurt opening the box!! I did return the boots and now awaiting my refund!
