This is not a review on the boots but on Shepler's service. I ordered a men's size instead of a women's size in this boot (got here via a Google search for the women's version). By the time I realized my mistake, I had clicked "buy". I emailed customer service to see if they could modify the order, but they didn't respond for three days. By that time the boots were on their way and I had to pay the return shipping cost. Due to the sketchy service, I chose a return rather than an exchange on the boots.

The Chippewa sportillity boot is very comfortable. The boot broke in well and quickly. i highly recommend this boot to others in the logger/ tree industry. It is a very good climbing boot. I work for a tree removal company and thus far climbing trees with gaffs or ropes it has been an awesome boot. The only thing to be sure of when purchasing the boot is to make sure you need the insulated boot because i have found out quickly that i do not need the insulation and the boot gets very hot. so if you need a warm and tough work boot you have found it. if you need a tough boot find this one not insulated and you good
