I have been a fan of Tecovas for awhile, and have a few other pairs. Mostly exotic skins that I wouldn’t dream of wearing daily. This pair was my first pair of goat leather, and man, does it perform fantastic as a daily wear boot. I’m in my boots from 6am to 7pm 5 days a week and most weekends. I’ve never had a pair of shoes that is just as comfortable taking off at the end of the night as they were putting on in the morning.
I bought this pair directly from the store. The Cartwright is Tecovas original and most popular boot, so they usually have plenty in stock. The experience in store is amazing. Free drinks, knowledgeable staff, you can’t go wrong. The even offer free shoe shines and branding if one desires!
I work in the main office of a local multifamily construction company, but often find myself out a jobsites for meetings and walkthroughs.
The patina goat leather develops is amazing. This is my first pair of goat skin boots, and won’t be my last. In fact, I just got another pair of Cartwright’s in the sand color way back in March, that’s how much I love them! The break in process only took two maybe three days, and I conditioned them with Saphir Crème Universelle once every month or so. It was extremely easy keeping these boots looking great!
These boots held up amazingly well. No structural issues what so ever, even with me wearing them 5 days a week for the past 5 months. The design is also great, a classic cowboy style boot that looks good dressed up or down. The Scotch color quickly became my favorite and will continue to be my first grabbed pair even after the contest ends.
I’ve never made a conscious effort to wear the same pair of boot for 5 months straight. I have over a dozen pairs and have always rotated them based on what I’m wearing or where I’m going. After month one, it was quite apparent this was hands down the best pair of shoes I’ve ever worn. I’ll continue to wear these just as much after the contest, and will for sure be buying another pair when the wheels fall off of these!
