No. 2

The No. 2 is handcrafted in Guanajuato, Mexico, using Goodyear welt construction and heritage cowhide leather sourced from retired dairy cattle. The boot incorporates traditional elements including a leather heel counter, stacked leather heel with the brand's signature red stripe, and leather sole construction. Available in Brushed Brown and Magic Black finishes with D and EE width options, the No. 2 offers sizing from half sizes seven to 12.5 and whole sizes 13 through 15.

The No. 2 employs traditional cowboy boot construction methods combined with premium materials selected for durability and comfort.

The shaft is constructed from premium leather measuring 1.7mm in thickness, exceeding industry standards for cowboy boot uppers. The boot features a full leather lining at 1.2mm thickness, dyed red as a distinctive interior detail. Heritage cowhide leather sourced from retired dairy cattle provides the primary material, offering superior durability compared to juvenile leathers while supporting ethical sourcing practices.

Goodyear welt construction forms the foundation of the boot's sole attachment system, enabling professional resoling when the outsoles show wear. This construction method provides both durability and flexibility, allowing the boot to maintain its structural integrity through extended use. A traditional leather heel counter provides support at the rear of the boot, while the stacked leather heel incorporates the company's signature red stripe as a visual identifier. The leather sole construction throughout contributes to the boot's traditional aesthetic and functional characteristics.

The No. 2 is distinguished by its refined square toe profile, designed to provide additional room in the toe box while maintaining a subtle appearance suitable for both work and formal contexts. The square toe configuration differentiates the No. 2 from the No. 1 model's medium round toe, offering an alternative for those preferring extra toe room.

The shaft stitching pattern references petroglyphs from Big Bend National Park, the geographic area in Far West Texas that inspired the company's name. This design element connects the boot to the company's heritage while serving as a distinctive visual feature. The stacked leather heel features a red stripe, a signature element carried across Chisos boot models that provides brand recognition.

The No. 2 fits true to US shoe sizing standards. The company recommends selecting the same size worn in other leather footwear or a half size smaller than athletic shoe sizing. The boot is designed with a roomy toe box to prevent cramping during extended wear, a feature particularly beneficial for those requiring additional space in the toe area.

The D width offers a generous fit appropriate for standard foot widths, while the EE width accommodates wider feet. The boot includes a removable gel insole covered with premium leather, providing cushioning and arch support. This insole can be extracted if additional space is needed or replaced with custom orthotics.

The boot is designed for all-day wear, with comfort features including excellent arch support and cushioning. The leather lining molds to the foot shape over time, contributing to improved comfort with extended use.

Proper maintenance extends the service life of the No. 2 and preserves its appearance. Leather conditioning should be performed approximately every three months, using quality conditioner appropriate for full-grain leather. Regular application maintains the heritage cowhide's suppleness and prevents drying or cracking.

Storage in a cool, dry location protects the leather from moisture damage and prevents premature deterioration. Between wears, allowing the boot interior to dry completely permits absorbed moisture to evaporate, reducing the risk of leather degradation and odor development. If the boots become wet, they should be air dried naturally away from direct heat sources.

The Goodyear welt construction enables professional resoling when the outsoles show wear. Qualified cobblers familiar with cowboy boot construction can replace worn soles while preserving the upper leather and overall boot structure, significantly extending the boot's lifespan beyond cemented construction footwear. Some owners choose to have cobblers apply rubber sole savers upon initial receipt to protect the leather soles during the breaking-in period.
