Hi David! We really appreciate your honest feedback on THE CORONADO 6 INCH BOOT - CHRISTY BLACK. It's great to hear that you're impressed with the craftsmanship and how they look after conditioning with mink oil; that's exactly the quality we strive for in our American-made boots.

We're sorry to hear that despite using our sizing guide, the fit turned out tighter than expected. Sizing can be tricky with boots, especially when everyone's foot shape is different, and we understand the disappointment when they don't break in as hoped.

Your recommendation about going up a half size is really valuable feedback that we'll pass along to our team. It helps other customers make more informed sizing decisions and gives us insight into how we can improve our sizing guidance.

Thanks for giving them a try and for the thoughtful review!

Hi Clinton,

It's fantastic to know these boots are hitting the mark for you! We take a lot of pride in the fit and materials of THE CORONADO, and hearing they’re a "great fit" for you is the best feedback we can get.

Thanks for choosing quality made in the USA. Enjoy the new boots!

We are pleased to hear that THE CORONADO 6 INCH BOOT provided a great fit right out of the box. Our goal with the Coronado series was to blend a refined, versatile aesthetic with the uncompromising durability of an American work boot, and we are glad the quality was immediate.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback!

That's awesome that THE CORONADO 6 INCH BOOT - CHRISTY BLACK is delivering that quality construction you're looking for, Steve!

You're absolutely right about the break-in period being worth it. Good boots are an investment, and it sounds like you understand that a little patience upfront pays off with years of reliable wear. That's exactly the kind of durability and long-term performance we build into every pair.

It's perfect that you can already tell these are built to last. That's what we want to hear from customers who know quality when they see it.

Thanks for taking the time to leave this review!

You’re spot on! While our boots are designed to be comfortable right out of the box, there’s a certain magic that happens when that leather starts to mold specifically to your foot. They really do become a custom fit over time. We’re so glad the sizing instructions worked out for you—thanks for trusting the process and for the support!
