Customer Reviews Chippewa 8" Bay Apache Insulated Waterproof Steel Toe Logger

I don't normally write reviews, unless I am completely satisfied or on the opposite end of the spectrum and pissed. These boots are heavy duty, keep my feet warm, never to hot and comfortable. I wasn't used to the high heel at first but have now gotten used to it and have learned to appreciate the grip and traction the soles provide. In the past I had worn my Dad's army boots, Red Wings, and Red Head snake boots from Bass Pro Shop, etc, but these are my new go to boots. They are heavy but it's worth it with ankle support, comfort, and protection. Oh yes, forgot to say package arrived about 3 days after order placed. Thanks Zappos.

Like others I found the only fault to be the laces cheap quality and I will be replacing them soon. I bought these for outdoor work mostly in the winter, firewood cutting and splitting. I chose a steel toe boot for those large chunks falling off the splitter after nearly losing a toe. The quality is first rate. I have a brother and sister in law who are both in the construction business and whom have owned many steel toe work boots, they were both very impressed with the construction. I even felt the initial comfort was above expected. There's no better value out there for the price.

Great service and excellent price from Zappos. The Chippewa boots are just what I wanted. Great support, waterproof and warm for our cold NH winters.

Bought these for my son and he rely likes them. He is pretty picky about his work boots and these fit the bill.

Yeah, these are the Chinese ones, but fit, form, function, looks, build quality all good. Would recommend them to anyone.

I've a single pair of these on my feet at least a couple times a week for the last 3 years. My career in oil & gas has taken these boots on a journey from 14kft @ -30deg in the rockies to the heat of the Texas desert. I've beat the heck out of them and just keep taking it. While it took a bit of a transition, I now can't do without the slightly higher heel in these. It balances your weight better and I've never had any trouble working on my feet all day all night long. Took 3 years to wear to the point where I need new ones and not changing a thing on my next pair.

Aside from being a heavy boot, I cannot find anything wrong with these boots. They are bomb proof and water proof. The overall fit and finish is that of a boot twice the price. they are true to size and width. Once you get used to the weight they are all day comfortable. Also even as a waterproof boot they are plenty breathable and my feet stay dry and warm. Would definitely recommend them to someone who needs a serious boot for serious work.

I bought from Zappos, the boot is amazing. GET the steel toe, not only will your legs get stronger but you will be a boss with being able to kick stuff. Okay, so the laces died after 3 months, but I called Zappos and they didn't have any laces to give me, but they gave me a 1-800 number to call and those people had laces sent to me all within 10 minutes. Zappos referred me (which they didn't have to do) and they should be commended for their excellent service (which is why I am writing this). Thanks Zappos!

These boots are great I have worn them for about a week now, the soles are great for the muddy conditions the heel digs into the mud adding traction. The Kiltie is serving its purpose keeping alot of mud from getting under the bottom half of the laces and water proof to keep the nasty crap on the the outside. Then when I get done doing my job I just give them a few kicks to the curb to get most of the mud out of the soles, and with the steel toes I do not have to worry about hurting my toe when kicking out the mud, then I just set them aside and let the rest of the mud dry and they are ready for the next day's beating. The toes have really taking a beating but that only adds to the boots rugged look. I did not buy these boots to take care of but instead to have fun with. These are great boots!

These are great boots. The leather is supple and supportive. The Vibram soles are magnificent. The overall construction is excellent and tidy. They took about 3 days to break in but were comfortable from day one. Some people swear Red Wings are the best but I'm a Chippewa guy. Waterproof membrane is good. The heel is stable. Get 'em.

I ordered boots at 8:30 pm and received them sometime between 2:00 and 3:00 pm the next day. Fast shipping!

Hello, these boots are great. The give excellent ankle support and wear very comfortably. They are heavy but very well built. Thanks.

The boots are great. They are real tough and the steel toe is like a tool being attached to me. The waterproofing is also very effective, but I went canoeing with them and fell in the river (rapids) and soaked the boots. The only problem was that they are so waterproof it was hard to get them to dry in the sun! The only gripe so far is that the laces are horrible and I need new ones already.

Very well padded. Wore first day, all day with no issues. Nice looking as well. Only con is they scuff easily.

Great boots with quality you would expect from Chippewa. Would love them more with a "Made in USA" tag on them. I used NicWax cream conditioner then SnoSeal wax. Treatment gave them a little darker look. A different look with the lace-to-toe lacing, but it definitely gives a better fit.

Can't say enough about these boots, well made, tough, great fit, plenty of toe room and they look good. Big Chippewa fan.

The boots fit very good, very hard to find in that style and the size I needed but Zappos had them !!

The insulation has been good in 30f degree temps while breaking in. I am over 250 lbs so the breaking in may be a bit easier but i find it to be not much. I am a 10 wide and the boot is slightly wider which will be good for swelling on long days or extra thick socks in extreme cold. The steel toe, to box is adequately wide but will be colder in extreme cold. These are the made in china version (like the phone you are on)...I am pleased with the purchase. I plan to use these for everything from general construction, to outdoors stuff.

it fit awsome and rite size and give you guy two thumbs up

I bought these for my husband. He said that they fit like a glove. Perfect!!!

Well made boot that is comfortable right out of the box. Quality material. Warmer than expected. May be an issue for those in warmer climates

Wow! What a quality boot. It fit perfectly right out of the box. They are a little bit heavy but you get used to it very quickly. The boot is built solidly like a tank. It's worth the investment to keep your feet safe while you are doing your business. Congratulations to Chippewa and Zappos.

Great pair of boots. Ordered for my grandson. Very satisfied!

Bought this boot for my son when he started a new job at a local warehouse unloading and stocking heavy freight. Upon first wearing them, he reported that they were very comfortable, true to size, contained nice support, and were reasonable in their weight, i.e., not too heavy despite the steel reinforced toe. He's worn them, now, 5 to 6 days a week, during 8 to 10 hour shifts, and continues to swear by them. With that, I guess a positive recommendation is in order, right? ;-)

This is my third pair of Chippewa boots but my first pair of insulated steel toe logger boots. They are reasonably comfortable out of the box, if you are not used to a substantial boot it may take a little time to get used to. It is very well constructed, the sole absorbs pressure on the soles of the feet, great ankle support, warm without being uncomfortable even in moderate fall weather temperatures. I would definitely recommend this boot.
