Historical emporium has great customer service, I emailed them to ask about the fit of these boots and what size they would recommend. They got back to me very quickly and the size they recommended was a perfect fit.The boots seem to be historically accurate and good quality leather.

The reviews said they ran large
I wear a 7-1/2 2E, ordered a 7 and they are about a half size too large
No worries, thats what insoles and socks are for
High quality
Good value
Good look
Excellent real world or costume boots

Just what I was looking for. Not as tall as some of your other offerings. Just the right size. Much better than the plastic covers that came with my St. Nicholas outfit. My western boots just didn't look right, even here in western Nebraska.

I normally wear slightly larger size 8 boots to get the width but got these in size 7. Perfect fit!

As comfortable as they are good looking
The boots looked even better in person and are unexpectedly comfortable to wear! The craftsmanship on them is very impressive! These handsome boots are made far better than any modern equivalent. Once again I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of items carried by this shop.

As a life long reenactor and cowboy action shooter I am constantly looking for new "personas" to assume. It is very important that my character appear period correct in every manner, but most importantly his dress. I research my persona extensively. When I decide on the clothing for my character I invest heavy research to find the best quality articles of clothing for the best price. Historical Emporium has been a mainstay for my clothing throughout the years. I will continue to return to Historical Emporium because I know I will receive excellent customer service, quality merchandise and fair prices. The boots were better than expected. Top quality and excellent fit. Many thanks!

These are great value for money and exactly as described. The soles are slick when new as with any full leather sole. When I get some wear in them, I will get a traction sole and heel applied. you would need to pay at least twice as much money elsewhere to get a boot as authentic and as well made as these. They do fit a little large, but with thick socks are comfortable.

nice quality - comfortable boot, wide enough shaft to stick pants into
Very good experience all around. The product was excellent (Black Cavalry Riding Boots) and customer service was very helpful. The boots only come in whole sizes and I am usually a 10 1/2. I ordered 11 and they were way too large. I spoke with customer service and they were quite helpful with tips and eventually helped me exchange for size 10's. Very easy and relatively quick turnaround on the exchange. The 10's fit great by the way, the boots run a tad large for their sizes. I went riding in them today (2 different horses) and they were great! Very authentic look, feel, grip and construction. Oh, the sole at the toe was a bit too, ok, WAY to square for my liking, so I rounded them off just a bit on a grinding wheel and re-blacked with a Sharpee marker. Perfect.

They are just as represented and are real leather. I could not find anything suitable after looking in local stores. They will complete my costume.
The only problem was the fit. I ordered 1/2 size longer than usual and length is fine but the instep was way too tight. They would be good for a narrow foot but not wide feet with a high instep. I could not stay in them long enough to think of breaking them in. They are now at the shoe shop for stretching.

One of the best boots I have purchased ever! I take my boots serious as they are all I wear. Well constructed , look awesome and are comfortable. The cost of them is quite reasonable. U have paid more for boots not as well made. I am pleased with this purchase. I will be coming back for more. Thankyou so much😎👍

Bought these for CASS Canadian Nationals and they worked great over three days of shooting. Comfortable and a good fit for me. I'm a size 11US. Canadians watch out for import taxes duty etc. It's charged in full on the converted US value.
