Tecovas Boots - Watch before you buy a pair of Tecovas 

I asked Tecovas directly about their boots' suitability for riding, horse training, etc. They gave me a forthright, "No." I appreciated their honesty and the fact they know their product well enough to give an answer (I've asked other boot companies and gotten the digital equivalent of a blank stare).

Im a plumber im on concrete, ladders, digging in the dirt, water, mud ,snow ,100 degree days the Ranch line Midlands have done awesome

I have Lucchese, Dan Post and several exotic Tecovas. I love them. I would never wear any of those to work in. I have my Double H for work.

i doubt anyone is really wearing Tecovas to work on a ranch anyway. Most guys who were cowboy boots don't own cows....... or get that dirty. lol

I own several pairs of tecovas and do all kinds of man stuff in the field and snow, mud, rain. I just take care of em. They last just as well as any field boot. I’ve had combat boots that didn’t hold up as well. Honestly, they’re great boots. If you work hard in the field, good luck finding a pair of boots that won’t need maintenance. Just take care of your boots and they last longer. Do your proper maintenance.

I have a the Tecovas Bendara for work. I wear them everyday rain, snow, mud. They are holding up great.

I own 2 pair. A goat pair and a pair of ostrich pair. I love them both. I don’t work on a farm but I wear them often. They hold up great. Everyone I’ve talked to about their Tecova boots loves them.

I own my own excavation business , mainly doing forestry clearing , logging , mulching. road building. And Demolition , If I wear cowyboy boots to work I wear Ariat work because they get tore up. I usually wear Thurogood steel toe , quarter boots to work. But I bought a pair of Tecova Nile Crocodile "TheMarshall" boots for buisness , weddings , funerals as stricty dress boots. They are absolutley gorgeuous and comfortable. But I would only wear these in a dress shoe situation but I am extremely pleased with them. They also came with a free matching skin belt.

Nice video and very accurate in my opinion! I own several pairs of Lucchese Classics, 2000's & 1883's, Tony Lama, Black Jack, Nocona, Dan Post & one pair of Tecovas boots. A few pairs are $1500.00 exotics. The sole on the Tecovas as the Man states in the video is more of a dress style. It's thinner and not as robust. However, I totally agree that they are a really good value and very comfortable if fitted correctly like any cowboy boot. Personally I think Black Jack boot company in El Paso, Tx. makes the best boot for the money. I own seven pairs of them and in my opinion they are every bit the quality of the Lucchese classics I own. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! Really appreciate your common sense/no BS approach - you have a lot of integrity, Brother. ☮

I own 2 pair, Lizard and Ostrich, I’m getting ready to buy a pair of their bison boots. Their lizard round toe is hands down my favorite boot I have ever worn in my life

I have 8 pair. I wear them with business suits. They look wonderful. Folk always stop me and say they look wonderful. All level of skin look and feel amazing. Buy some.

I’ve had ostrich tecovas since 2017, I’ve only had to resole once. No complaints whatsoever. I do my best to keep them out of dirt/water, but they are great for casual wear.

I grew up riding and have always wore Ariat. I wear my boots mainly these days for photography and video production. Tecovas I would say makes boots for everyone. They have a line of riding boots and a line of ranch boots then they have boots you wear to the office.

Rubber boot soles for work leather soles for the weekend but they’re yours at the end you do what you want with them just don’t complain that they didn’t last if you put leather soled in the mud

Cowboy boots will always be in style they're very comfortable and very cool the walking

I'm looking for a pair mostly for cowboy action shooting and for causal wear outside of that. I don't need them for horse riding or hard ranch work. This review helped me decide to go ahead and buy a pair and see how they work for me.

I have been wearing Tecovas for about 4 years and over that time I have had 3 models. I wear the suede model about 5 times a week and they are great everyday boots walking and being in an office they are great and very comfortable. They are also durable everyday boots. I also have the work style boots with rubber soles. I wear these for on site jobs and they have cuts and stuff but are confortable and fit my feet well. (I have narrower feet). I also have the traditional square toe leather boots and they are ok but they show wear a lot more then the suede pair, and look the cheapest in my opinion. I guess I am saying the if you are open to suede for an everyday generally light to medium toughest boot they are great. The work boot is good for pretty much anything you don’t need steel toes for(can’t comment on the rancher perspective).

Let’s be honest… We all know Tecova specializes in boots for going out on the town or just basic yardwork a.k.a. feeding the pigs stuff along that line. No riding or muddying around lol. That’s like saying, you wear your Cody James ranching. It’s just not an appropriate boot to wear. One should know this going in. However, they do make a pair of ranch boots now I would stand behind! It’s obviously not like stingray or elephant on down the line.. but they are as sturdy as anything Ariot makes!

Normal wear break in makes them look good. And if the soles wear out we got you guys to fix em. 😊

Tecovas I own was wore thrown in about 7months. I used it for motorcycle riding and working. I still love them for comfort it's well worth it for me.

I have the Nash and the Cole both awesome boots I only wear them on tile floors for work in a retail environment but they are super comfortable and look great.

I'm a cowboy boot man myself. I have several pairs. I have ariats, justins, durangos, dan post, and tony lamas. I love them!

I have the tecovas stockton and wear them on the weekends, I wash the car and everything else i do on the weekends and no complaints so far. I wear thorogoods for work

Just ordered my 4th pair of Tecova’s this afternoon. The Stockton Roper in oiled Umber Bovine. These are part of the Ranch collection. I wanted a new pair of boots for riding my ‘steel horses’ and I prefer cowboy boots. I have had nothing but a great experience with Tecova’s. They fit like a glove.

Tecovas boots are for show , you know Friday night dancin

Spot on, I prefer my tecovas for office, event like things, a night out, stuff like that they are pretty good 👍

Tecovas are the most comfortable footwear I've owned. They just so happen to be cowboy boots. No cowboying, I ride a desk.

I have Tecovas std cowboy boots in ostrich and calfskin. Have many pairs of Justin cowboy boots and Ropers. Have Dan Post super supple cowboy boots. Have a few Noconas and cuztom made pairs each. All those are light work/office duty/daily wear. For ranch and riding I wear nothing but Olathe; the thickest leather on a boot and they go the distance, can be resoled and rebuilt. Others? Not so much. Resoled, yes, but not rebuilt. Have a pair of West Coast loggers and engineer boots. Going to put in an order for Frank's Patriot logger boot. There's nothing that fits better than a custom fitted handmade boot of any type. Well worth the money.

It’s just depends on witch boot you buy from tecovas they have riding boots dress boots and work boots just depends what you want and buy

I am thinking of getting a pair of bandera boots for my first pair of boots

The Parker by Tecovas is a great riding boot with spur ledge! The bovine roughout will last a long time and damn they look good! Can wear casually too

It’s funny that the people that ask about quality are the ones that don’t do manual labor in boots. So it doesn’t matter for them. If you work manual labor, you’ll know what boots are good.

Thanks for the input, just helped me make up my mind on getting a pair

I love my Tecovas and think they’re well worth the money. I have 2 pair. Very comfortable. Having said that, I agree with you on the recommended use. The soles are very thin. I wore through mine in just a couple years of occasional wear. I can’t imagine wearing them on a ranch, but own the regular leather soled versions. Maybe the ranch line would last in that environment

That’s why they make work boots for the ranch and hard work. The rest are for around the town, and pretty much fashion. I wouldn’t walk all day in my Lucchese, Justin, Rios de Mercedes, etc. I know the next days I’m going to be paying for it… Now for the price Tecovas are not bad at all. Great review and good points.

Refined version: When comparing Tecovas' southern-style boots to Thursday Boots' urban city-style lace boots, it's important to note that both pairs are not intended for heavy-duty ranching or rigorous riding. Rather, they are designed for urban settings, whether it's going out on the town or engaging in basic tasks. These boots maintain the aesthetic appeal of riding and ranching boots while catering to urban wear and tear. In my opinion, the goatskin material used in these boots makes them suitable for riding a motorcycle, which is the most extreme form of riding I would personally recommend.

Dead ass, I’ve been watching Yellowstone and I’ve been obsessed with the fits and what not, but boots have been a highlight and I Definitely have been wanting something cool and stylish for everyday use. This video helps my decision to whether I’m gonna get them or not, appreciate brother!

I have a pair of ostrich skin Tecovas and I love them

I own 11 pairs and I love them all

I just bought some Banderas. Nice boots and for $225 you can't beat it. They have the removable gel insol, cork filled sol, rubber good year outsol, stacked leather heal with tire treads just like the rest of the sol. All leather including leather lining. A bit hot for S FL but whatever.

I was just looking for some reviews and was surprised you guys are in Warner Robins I’ll definitely stop by some time soon 👍

Our terminal manager has a pair of Tecovas and only wears them around the office and they look worn out even though he said that he’s only has them less than a year

Tecovas is a good boot just as long as they ACTUALLY HAVE THE BOOT! I ordered twice and after the boots not arriving for 3 or 4 days I called Tecovas only to find the boots WEREN'T AVAILABLE!! I was able to order them and they sure as hell charged my credit card but they were NEVER COMING and NOBODY LET ME KNOW THAT! I had to do it. Last I knew, selling a product you don't have is ILLEGAL but they make a habit of it. Don't order online. CALL THEM and order that way so your sure you will be getting the boots you are paying for.

I have 3 pair of Tecovas. Most comfortable of all my boots.

My Stockton boots just shipped today. They’re bison and should hold up for casual wear and some yard work.

Double h is my go to boot brand

Just ordered “the Jamie” to wear for line dancing. I will update you if and when they come in!

Every day I wear Tecovas, that includes working at the Ranch in South Texas. I own 6 pairs. The Bandera and the Johnny are best for working, depending on what you’re doing. On the waiting list for the black alligators.

All boots are eventually work boots. I guess some folks live differently.

Have 3 pairs of tecovas they are very comfy but they're for special occasions not for everyday wear I got my justin boots for everyday wear

The classic leather-soled cowboy boots of a hundred years ago must have been hobnailed like all other clod hoppers any other farmer was wearing a century ago. I personally don't believe any plan leather-soled boot would stand up to farm work even a riding stable. Maybe movies have something to do with it also in popularizing fancier boots?

Very well done sir. Thanks for the honest opinion. I’ve got a pair of Cartwrights. Fit like a bedroom slipper. Love them but would not wear them on a ranch for heavy work. I wear my double H for that.

Tecovas are more for going out or wearing them as business casual. Georgia boots, Chippewa, and Justin are better as work boots.

Just spent 2 hours in Tecovas store walking around in the stocktons, deciding on getting them after almost exclusively wearing Double H and redwing. Interested to see in how they do.

There are lots of quality boot makers in the USA.

I've heard pretty good things about Tecovas. I like their newer Stockton boots. Their prices sure beat RIos Of Mercedes, Lucchese. Andersen Bean. Their prices are ridiculous!!!! The only boot maker I have found the best for price is Wesco.

They are more like a simple dress boot with safe colors . If your working I’d hope you have an actual work boot.

Great video man ! Thanks for the info . What boot would recommend that will hold up a bit better than tecovas and are on the same price range ? Thanks !

Hard to form an opinion about my nolans because they are a full size bigger than what they are stamped. Because of that I'm not pleased and probably won't order another pair from them. Their jackets aren't sized very well either

So city boy Cowboy boots. Are their any good boots that are work and riding. I used to love the old red wings

I live in the city, great value boot just to wear casual.

I'm new to the cowboy boots. My girlfriend got me my first pair (Dan Post) now I have a pair of Justin's and Tecovas (5 pairs) and I'm looking into Double H and R. Watson...i also have a German ranch working boot because I'm stationed in Germany. Im use to being in combat boots in the mud, rain, snow...etc etc so the boots i have is for me to look presentable and I also help out this family on their ranch with the horses and fixing the barn and stuff. Where are you located?

You need to do the Prescott in sharkskin. They are supposed to be for horse riding

Nice video. What boot brand do you recommend for actual ranching and riding?

It depends which ones you buy? I have a pair of Stocktons that I wear to the Ranch and they are built for ranch life.

In rose anvils deconstruction video of the tecovas, he came to the conclusion they use a really shity toe and heel counter. Would you agree?

My "The Doc" Tecovas squeak from inside the sole, I'm on my second pair after returning a pair. I will not return them again or buy any more. I wear them mostly in an office setting. Have only worn them max 5 times. $275 :\

Are the Stockton boots Blake rapid stitched rather the welted? The stitches under the removable insole makes me think it’s a Blake a rapid stitch construction.

I’d like to buy a good pair of comfortable work boots. I don’t need steel toe, and I never get on a horse. I need to be able to rinse mud (usually clay) off without damaging the leather. What brands would be best?

Video was super informative and am currently in the market for my first pair. Currently looking between Tecova and Los Altos. Do you have one recommendation over the other? Much appreciated!

Which brand of boots are the best for ostrich boots?

I actually want to buy some. A lil expensive but I drop way more on my work boots. Ima get some just to wear like my af1. The Stockton look bad🩸.

Are Tecovas good for quinceañeras, weddings or bailes?

Hi I’m in Canada and bought a pair of Boulet boots last year not because they are Canadian but because sometimes depending where you live it’s easier to get local for fitting etc. Was just wondering what you guys thought of Boulet. Thanks

Manuel thanks for the video. I have flat feet. Can I find boots with an ok arch or do I need to put my inserts in the boot.

Where do you rank El Dorado boots?

I have seen full nile croc Tecovas for 1400, would not even want to guess how much Lucchese would build the same boot for.. My question how does regular Tecovas compare with Lucchese

What brand of boots do you recommend for someone who is hard on shoes? I get like 5 months out of sneakers.

Okay, what boots do you recommend for riding and training horses? I had Durango's because they were the best fit in my price range at the time. I was thinking of trying out Tacova's.

I know not want waste money on custom boot.cost money exactly what you want.probably perfect fit,comfort but still need resoling or rebuit agains.sometime factory boot made little better than custom boot??.i forgot names.i read study about too many name boots company..i dont know about ferrini as they said would be your last boot for life???.i dont know what its mean alivie said lifetime guarantee its mean whenever problems need fix corect or free replacement.not easy make decision which is right boot for me.

How do your handmade boots compare in price with tacovas elephant skin

What do you think of Chiso boots

I see you’re selling a large line of boots. Any recommendations for a daily pair that look nice but will hold up to work?

What boot would you recommend for daily ranch work, horse riding for a living?

I’m going to the Tecova store in Charlotte tommorow. I’m torn between the Jaspers or the Cartwright’s.

Can someone please buy my Tecovas Cartwright size 10.5? I recently received them as a gift but I don’t wear boots and tecovas wont refund me the money.

@Manuel Gutierrez I bought a pair of there new python boots wondering why doesn’t it feel like python skin it feels like leather that was embroidered and when I rubbed on the scales it felt like rubber what do you think ? They says it’s real python

Thanks for the video. Looking for my first pair of boots and Tecovas is on that I found online that seems reputable. I also found Alfa western wear but not sure about them, prices are low but not good return policy. They want you to pay return shipping. My local options are only a boot barn that is opening this week. Any advice you can offer as to what to look for in a boot for 200-300$ ?

I want to use these as a pair of duty boots as a police officer. Yes or no?

Funny thing, for me, I've owned two pairs of lucchese, and the first pair I wore out in a year, the second pair took me 4 months. For a $600 pair of boots, you would think they would last longer than that, right? Yes, I cleaned/conditioned them as needed. Came to find out the supposed "buffalo" hide my 2nd pair were made out of is low grade "genuine" leather. Not full grain. Never buying another pair of lucchese boots again. The quality just isn't there.

I heard yo say Warner Robins, GA. My old stomping grounds. Do you have a store front? Next time im home id like to stop by and take a look.

What boot brands would you buy to do real farm work or riding??

Any thoughts on Hondo boots or Horsepower boots for comfort and long term durability?

I have a pair of Toni Lama buckaroo boots that I bought 20 years ago . Their riding heel has such a narrow base it is almost impossible to walk in them . Could you rebuild the heel with a larger base ?

What other brands are out there. I'm not a cowboy. I live in LA

Hey Manual, does your leather shop do boot shape change outs? For instance if I sent you a pointed toe pair of boots will you change the shape to a square toe if enough leather or exotic skin accommodates it?

So I’m looking for my first pair of cowboy boots. I work at a ranch and I’m starting to ride, but would also be using them for general shit kicking. Any suggestions or things I should be checking out?

I have a pair of Wyatts in Ostrich that I've conditioned and boot tree'd after working them out and been real fine footwear. What's up with 2:39 over the shoulder, worth a visit? Bahahah

Do you make lace up work boots
