Tecovas Zip Boots

- Tecovas boots are blurring the line between affordability and quality. They compete at a price which few other can match, and with some of their new offerings like the American Alligator series they also offer a higher end boot for more discerning customers. But for me their limited run of zipper boots were especially intriguing, aimed at people with a high instep like myself who typically have a hard time wearing laceless boots. These boots solve another issue which is their wearability with slim cut pants, a problem that has plagued those who enjoy tall laceless boots until now. I have to admire Tecovas drive to solve the problems of their customer and continue their strategy to make western wear accessible to everyone.

Zipper western boot lol. Those look like mall bought chick boots.
...and there is is.
C Leh you didn’t actually watch the video, did you? Lol. He addresses that.
Scott yes I watched it.
Lol you sounded so pathetic. These boots look great
suede not an option since you can eat a hot dog then bam mustard on the boots.
I've worn Tecovas for the past two years. LOVE THEM.
Super comfortable right???
Thank you Carl.Your reviews are valuable & very cerdible.And a great help in deceidjng what to choose & what to reject. 👍
First TH-cam review of these Tecovas zip boots I've seen. Finally. Thanks for that.
Mid-Atlantic yankee city slicker, here, but I've always been a fan of western style clothing and culture. Decided to finally bite the bullet with these (the Dean, the brown calf skin ones), instead of the more traditionally styled Tecovas Cartwright boots, which have the taller angled heel, shaft ribbing, and vamp stitching. There just aren't enough opportunities for me to wear traditional cowboy boots like that in my city without looking odd (I am a country music fan though, and go to concerts pretty frequently - but that's literally the only place I see people wearing cowboy boots around here).
The Deans seemed like the right choice. They don't have any decorative stitching on the vamp, which give the boots a clean minimal style (which I like), but maintain the classic toe and a slightly angled heel of a traditional western boot (which I do like, I don't like the shorter straighter roper heel). I also like the slimmer shaft, because I do wear slimmer jeans. Yeah, southerners or Texans might consider them sacrilegious (fine, I get it), but they're pretty versatile, can be dressed up or down easily, and they look like most any other western boot from a distance (the zipper isn't totally obvious, unless you're staring at them up close, and my jeans cover the shaft entirely). I think they'll look even better, worn in over time. Not a lot of wear this summer so far (the heat!), but I'll probably get more use out of them in the fall. I do still secretly still want a pair of the more traditional looking non-zip Cartwright boots though. Maybe in a couple years.
I just ordered the black that is now out. Fits true to size 12w. It is my second pair of Tecovas. I'm now a loyal customer.
I think it’s a neat hybrid. Definitely a boot I’d wear to look nicer, I own cowboy boots and I wear them all the time, but I feel like this would be a nice style change when I want to go for a different vibe
I love these boots, I look at them as a casual western style and Chelsea boot hybrid. Add it to the collection and rotation of boots.
Good overview. I'm not a fan of zip western style boots for guys. For me, the zip creates a tighter fit, which is fine for some but I like the airflow that a cowboy boot allows and the wider shaft creates room for air to move. That combined with the regular heel slip in a cowboy boot allows for my foot to stay cooler and so the boots never stink. Their other boots are more my style.
Unpopular opinion, I really wish they had a waxed, black roughout option.
No way man, I’ll bet that would be a really popular option!
I have both of these exact boots...love em...my next boot will be the Johnny in Honey Suede
These make sense to me if you wear them in semi dress attire a lot. Slim jeans/khakis or slacks. Then you don’t get the shaft pushing out like you mentioned. Almost looks like a dress shoe/boot with your pants over it. I’m looking at the exact two you reviewed lol
I've watched Carl's vids before purchasing my first cowboy boots and my Thursdays. I now own 3 boots; all ropers since I'm not a cowboy and I wear regular jeans.
I have a zip-up boot in leather (cow hide), a Chelsea in suede, and a roper cowboy boot in caiman leather. All by Tecovas.
By far, the easiest to put on and take off is the zip-up boot, the worst is the caiman roper.
They are all super comfortable, I can go all day in them with no problems. They all required minimal breaking in. True, they are not working boots, they are city boots (dress boots?) But that's exactly why I bought them. I've worn them with jeans on my motorcycle, and with suits in business meetings. They look gorgeous and elevate my style every time. As you said, "a good looking boot is a good looking boot".
I highly recommend these boots in particular and Tecovas boots in general. And if you feel that they look like "chick boots", then don't buy them. You don't need another thing chipping away at your obviously frail ego.
I have these boots in Black and Tan. I love em
The zipper ones aren’t my style, but I have a pair of ropers and a pair of regular cowboy boots from tecovas and love both pairs. Another great video
These would work great for me because I don’t have the biggest legs so even when I wear a straight cut jean the boot shaft print shows when waking. I just hope they stay around and they make it available in more colors!
The Tecovas calfskin boots looks cool.
While I am not a huge fan of side zipper. I have issues with the zipper bottom rubbing the side of my heel. But the craftsmanship is amazing! Thank you for the review. Side note, my Nicks are finally broke in, and wow. I am sold on the leather insole. Keep up the great work!
Aren’t they awesome? Once you break em’ in they really are the best work boots I’ve ever worn.
The idea of a zip boot turned me off at first but after looking them up, I've changed my tune. Really nice boots. I feel like this is a great way for Tecovas to get your non traditntal cowboy boot wearer in their boots.
Agreed. They bucked the idea of "traditional" and just went with what works. I admire that.
Great reviews on all of your reviews of Tecovas. I bought a pair of The Cole which is a Caiman roper boot. I have had them about 8 months really like them. I Would like to get a update on how the suede boots look and holding up. I like the idea that they are waterproof.
Those are some nice boots. I'm looking at getting some Tecovas. I already have Cueros and want to see how they compare. Western boots are a dangerous addiction.
I kinds want to try these now
Awesome boots 👍🏻😉👍🏻I really appreciate all the information on your video👍🏻😉👍🏻
I'd wear a pair for sure. I always get their ads and love reading the comments. Just on high quality brands ads in general people post the weirdest comments.
They really do... it’s something about the comment section that brings out the strange ones
I own 4 pair of Tecova’s. I can’t get a more comfortable boot anywhere. My latest purchase is “The Stockton” which is part of the Ranch Wear stuff. They just arrived Saturday. I will do an unboxing video today. I bought them for motorcycling.
I think they look awesome the only thing I would change is the heel I like the look of a straight rooper boot heel
Hey Carl! Love the videos! I’m just getting into the quality workwear market and all your information is so helpful.
I’m a sound tech at my church, and I film our videos. You probably would get similar sound quality if you put the mic above your camera pointed at you, and it would be out of frame. Just a though!
Hi there!
That would be true if it were a shotgun mic, but this is a Shure SM7B Dynamic mic which you need to be really close to to get good sound. The room I"m currently filming in has a lot of ambient noise which is why I had to go with this setup. Thanks for the feedback though! (No pun intended)
Great review. I'm getting a pair in black ostrich.
The smooth leather ones are glorious... It's so sad I can't afford em
Got the Dean in brown. The Roy was out of stock. I have several pair of Tony Lamas and Justin. Over the years, age and a few injuries made my cowboy boots painful and uncomfortable. I have some zipper desert boots, but they are not the same as a western boot. I was considering a Chelsea boot when I started seeing Tecovas. I like the low cut taper shaft and zipper. It is very comfortable. I am just looking for a boot that is comfortable. No drugstore cowboy here.
$235 boots that are Goodyear welt? Wow! You got my attention.
The Ariat two24 collection all also have a Goodyear welt and stacked leather heel. They have a Chelsea boot called the Rio that I'd love to have.
there are tons of boots under $100 that are goodyear welt.
There are plenty of goodyear welted boots and "dress" shoes from ~$175-$200 to $300. This isn't an outrageous deal. Good. Solid. But not crazy-good.
I just got a pair of the Roy in the Honey Suede and they feel as good as they look! I have several pair of cowboy boots, but like having these to go with my jeans that are not boot cut.
thats awsome i wanted the Honey suede as well but i cant stop the mocha (the Shane) from entering the equation....lol
Did they ship darker than the website image? I ordered some and they look more brown than gold.
I recently bought the Roy in Honey Suede and by themselves l can see the height of the heel and narrow toe, the silhouette may look to some like a woman's boot but if you can picture them with a higher shaft they would look like a normal cowboy boot. I think its not being used to looking at a boot with a lower shaft that throws some off.
My wife loves these boots on me and l wear them with slim fit Wrangler boot cut jeans.
I think the zipper is a cool feature and have seen some brands adding them to Engineer Boots as well. Just makes sense! I have a pair of cowboy boots and yeah, I get some crap for it but I dig it so whatever!.... Also I have done the jeans in the boots thing as joke when walking the dogs... hahahahaha
I have a pair of the Dean boots I love them they were my first pair of Tecovas. I just received my second pair Tecovas boots called the Nolan and I had the same problem with the high arch when I contacted the Tecovas company regarding this problem they offered a few suggestions and also to their credit said I could return these boots as many times as I needed to until I was satisfied how can you beat that for customer satisfaction. Now concerning the high arch problem I usually wear a boot sock when wearing boots so instead in this case I switched to a lighter dress sock still a little tight getting out of the boot but very doable.
First of all, I just ordered a pair of the black Earl boots, and am looking forward to them. Secondly, I bought a pair of Italian boots some 18 years ago that have a similar design as the Dean with a zipper. I love them. They're still in great shape. So I'll have two pairs of quality boots in about a week. Thirdly, my high arch always gave me a problem with all the other cowboy boots I owned throughout my life. My hope is the Tecovas Earls, will be a great compromise for me and my feet. If not, I'll trade them for the Deans.
Excellent!!!
@@CarlMurawski My Earls arrive an hour ago. SWEET! Of course, I may still get the Deans some time down the road...
Great boots!
Growing up in rural Georgia, yeah, the zipper is sacrilege. Which is such a shame... GOD I wish they would make these exact same boots but without the zipper. Absolutely love the low-profile shaft.
*IMHO Regarding appearance* There's a time and place for zipper boots, I would put them in the fashion category rather than the utility category of traditional ropers or cowboys with the Cuban heel. With that said, Tecovas zipper boots look very modern. Tecovas zipper boots look like high quality and durable Chelsea boot. Example from experience - the daily wearing of a Calvin Klein 100% genuine leather boot that retails at $200 will start to wear and within 1.5 years they will look pretty bad due to how thin the leather is. Tecovas zipper I would guess will last a lifetime with proper care.
@CarlMurawski what brand is that chelsea boot? Great review btw
I like them
Can you show exactly how narrow the opening is? Like show the boot on ur foot with the pants pushed up so we can see
Okay, so you know when an unsponsored review of a procut sounds like it was sponsored, you know it's a good product.
stylish, affordable side-zips are hide to find tbh. how is the fit? are they TTS or should you size down?
I'm debating between these and the Johnny.... what would recommend
Are the suede Roy's the honey color way? They look fantastic
I want my old Beatle boots.
I have some Tecovas suede ropers and I love the look and quality, but it's a bad choice for guys with a low profile foot like mine. The heel area is way too big and the back of my foot flops around, instead of being held in place in the heel cup like a Western boot is supposed to. If it wasn't for this (major) fit issue, these would be great. And no, sizing down isn't an option, my foot's too long.
Never really considered myself a cowboy boot sort of guy, but thanks to you I am now seriously considering a pair of roper boots.
I didn’t either man, but I really dig them after getting used to the idea. Plus they’re a conversation starter!
Ever think of reviewing a cuero brand boot?
I'm more interested in what chelsea boot that was. Anyone know?
I have a tough time with boots due to my disability, would you say they are way easier to put on? I am hoping the zipper will help me alot
Can you do a new review on the ostrich cowboy boots and see how they have aged?
I have been wanting to get these, do they size true. I wear a 10.5D on all my boots so want to ensure if this style is any different
They're made on American lasts, so you get a true fit!
Where did you get the Chelsea boot at?
I'll just stick to my ropers and cowboy boots I think. I personally don't see a need for the zip style
Fair enough, they’re not for everyone. Thanks for watching though!
The zipper is to make em slimmer I think so they fit in regular jeans.. I'm size 13 and every roper boots have like 30cm diameter of shaft , there's no fucking way jeans would go over those things
Do you alternate with the Ostrich and Suede versions? Is the zipper a good quality? Thanks for the video.
As an aside, you should send the link of your video on "making money on TH-cam" to Brock the Modest Man. He's got expectations that may not be realistic and now he is putting his own ads in his videos. That really degrades him in my opinion. The best is that his ad was for hair restoration in a video about how he is growing his hair long. Duh?
I’ve actually been wearing the suede more than any other boot lately, it just works so well for the summer. The zippers are YKK and should work for a long time, but I’ve considered putting some leather pull tabs on them.
As far as Brock, I’m friendly with him and have been on his podcast. I know just what you mean with his ads, and it’s a tough spot to be in. Once you decide to go full time with this, most sources of revenue deserve to be explored. It’s easy for me to say that I’ll never do an ad because my channel is small and I have a regular day job. But unfortunately when you’re full time you have less freedom. I think there is a way to go about it properly but that’s up to the creator themselves. I never liked watching ads either, especially when they’re not easy to detect in a video.
Not a fan of the outsourcing on principle, but they look quite good at that price.
How many pairs of boots do you have?
Too many man... way too many.
I'd get them now to avoid a price increase due to tariffs.
Yeah, I wonder how that will affect these.
Does that zipper zip down when wearing ?
Nope, never had it happen to me
The roy looks way too light for me. These boots are definitely dress boots, not dark enough and I’ve had bad experiences with boots/ shoes with zippers because they slip down or get messed up because where they are.
All boots should to be spin kick tested in store prior to purchase. Ask yourself if Chuck Norris or Steven Segal would wear them.
Tecovas is king in Bronx County
Harley Soriano Hahahaha! Exactly.
How comfortable is the insole?
Quite comfortable actually. It's what I loved about my first pair and I'm glad they continued it with these.
@@CarlMurawski I've never had cowboy boots and am unsure of which to choose.
That was my issue when I got the roper boots. If you like the idea of a cowboy boot but don't want to jump in headfirst, try a roper. They have a lower block heel, less ornate overall, and basically a subdued western look.
@@CarlMurawski will do. Thanks
Found a bootmaker in the philippines. For the equivalent of $60 plus shipping, I can get the Philippine scouts boots with top grain buffalo hide vegetable tanned. Really good value and great boots.
varun009 company name?
You get what you pay for. 👍
No zipper for me.
They're not cheap . Here in Mexico you can buy ostrich boots for 150usa DLLs from a prestigious store
$ 285 now.
Carl it ain’t my type of boot if I would have a zipper it will be on a pair of hunting boots
Are you in the market for a good pull-on boot? I’m working with Nicks on developing one for work and hunting applications.
Carl Murawski yeah if I had $435 to pay there not a bad pair don’t get me wrong but I’m struggling for money right now.
Maybe I can talk them into a discount code. Would that help?
I would say yes but I can barely get a buck but thanks
Fair enough brother. Wish I could help. Whats your shoe size?
Coming from a texan, these boots are just sacrilegious. But I can see how if some yankee is trying to ease their way into wearing boots this may be help them.
Exactly. Up here in the Northeast cowboy boots aren't very popular. If you wear them people assume you're from another state or just a huge country music fan. These are a good compromise for us yanks. Though I much prefer the politics of Texas!
I have wide feet and cannot take my feet out of cowboy boots.
Funny, I’m from Texas and don’t have a problem with the zipper. Nice being able to wear boots with a pair of chinos or slacks to work, or non-boot cut jeans.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✊
While I completely understand the practicality of having a zipper on the side of your boots, I would never boots that did. Also, cowboy boots are not my thing either, but that is more of just a style thing and culture thing, not a quality perception thing.
Fair enough! Thanks for watching though!
I have these in ostrich.
Too bad they dont ship to canada....maybe one day!
Too all those that call the Tecovah side zip chick boots. How f*cking old are you. 50 + plus years of playing drums, congestive heart failure, edema, copd, etc. But I still want to wear a good boot. I forgot neuropathy. Be kind. The zipper is a function. ...And I'm truly a pacifist. But if a couple here would have complimented me on my 14D chick boots in 1972 , I'd have complimented you on how well your azz looks as a hat...Peace.
All or nothing just go cowboy
These are Definitely a boot for Americans, i mean no disrespect with this comment, but this style is not as popular in the UK. Well not with my demographic. Love Redwings etc, just not to keen on this type though.
No worries man, they’re not everyone’s cup of tea, vodka, or espresso.
Handicapped folk need help getting boots on amd off and this allows you to wear a boot with jeans
dude just buy a bootjack
Boots don't have zippers.
I’ve got the same pair and they HURT my feet, pinch my toes, I cannot wear them for a full day. Past the return date and they’re scuffed on her bottom. Will they take them back? Probably not. I could get a pair of made in USA/Canada boots for $240 of which have a comfort sole. I want my $250 back Tecovas 🤷🏻♂️.
Personally, I think Chelsea boots themselves look feminine
To each their own. I dig the variety going from my 10” safety toe Nicks work boots to a sleek boot after work. You do you man!
@@CarlMurawski my newest boot is the Taft Rome in Oxblood so I have nothing against a sleek profile. Chelsea boots just remind me of my grandmother's horse riding boots from when I was little, so I've always thought of them as women's boots
Nobody at the leather bar will mind the zipper on those imported mail order boots sold by a marketing company that doesn't have a factory!
If you want western boots go to a western wear store and pick them out. These look like what a Yankee thinks cowboy boots should look like. They scream “rookie poser!”
Like the saying goes, if you know then you know.
