Roper Boot - Cognac

Those last 2 pair I bought, the other day, were for some really good friends of mine!!! I think I have bought these boots for 3 or 4 friends. I wear mine everyday! I love’em! Y’all just let me know if ya need a brand ambassador….I’ll be your guy!

Comfortable and seems well made

I really liked the boots - nice weight, look and comfort. I had a pair for 3-4 months and they were breaking in nicely but the heel tread pulled away from the heel. I exchanged them for another pair and the same thing happened. I liked them enough to take them to a shoe shop to have them repaired at my cost, thinking some glue and another brad or two would solve the issue, but he said with the soft tread attached to the hard heel, it would continue to happen. OR folks were very nice and easy to work with. They returned them with no problem.

Love these roper boots. Wanted a boot that was stylish but still rugged. These boots looks killer with Boone 5 pocket as well. Highly recommend

This is a great boot, very comfortable leather and the Vibram sole is a great addition. It is lighter in weight than I expected which is a big bonus. I’ve had them for a week and have worn them every day, haven’t worn them too hard so I will be curious how the leather holds up to everyday wear and work. Pleased with the comfort so far, I expect they will only get better with time. I ordered an 11.5 and it’s a perfect fit, typically I am at 12 or maybe 11.5 depending on brand.

The only real “negative” and it’s really not a negative is that the color does differ from them photo on the website. They are more of a lighter and orange color than dark and brown. Still look great and feel great!

This boot caught my eye as I wanted something to wear casually with jeans that had a rubber sole.
I just got them so can’t speak to construction quality, but it’s a good-looking boot.
I order 10.5-11 shoes depending on brand. 10.5 in this which is what I wear in Tecovas seems just right or even just a pinch big.
Only thing is these are extremely high priced, even more than Tecovas, so hope it’s worth it.
The coloring probably varies a lot with leather, but the photos on the website clearly make it look like a rich dark brown color & the actual boots I received are basically tan. It’s still a nice color but a bit misleading they don’t seem nearly as dark brown.

These are a Christmas gift for my son, so can't give a full review. They look great but will have to come back to see how he likes them, and their comfort. He's a Tecova guy, so we'll have to see how they compare comfort wise. Will be back with review after Christmas.

Comfortable out of the box, sizing is slightly larger. I typically wear a size 11 but proper fit was 10.5 in this boot.

These boots are outsourced to some generic manufacturer who most likely makes a version with the same materials and craftsmanship of a price point Catepillar/Wolverine boot you would find at Shoe Depot or Academy. The only difference is stamping Onward Reserve and adding a $150+ premium to them. Honestly, it’s a $99 boot, at best.

Exactly what I was looking for at a good price. BUT, when they arrived, the color was a very light tan. Nothing like the dark color shown online. Sent them back. Return process easy tho

Roper Boot - Cognac

The boots are fine but I hit order before I could apply a gift card that I had to the order (my fault). I reached out immediately and was told they were already in shipping and that I would need to return them once I received the boots. I went into answer the questions as to why I was returning them and where I clicked it wanted me to upload photographs so I had to go back and just say the boots did not fit. I was told when you guys received them back that the return would have to be reviewed. It was reviewed but I did not received a credit back on my debit card but I received a gift card. I just do not feel like that was handled correctly. I am also hesitate to purchase anything right now from Onward Reserve becuse earlier in the year I bought 2 pair of shorts and within a couple of months the Khaki Shorts literally started tearing apart.

Wasnt sure if id like them before they showed up but these are great boots. Super durable and crazy comfortable. Can run full sprint no problem. One thing i did notice is that they showed up in a lighter tan color compared to the pictures but i actually like them better.

Love the leather; the marriage of the boot w the vibram bottom is genius!!

The upper is not wide enough to get your foot in or out. It’s very difficult to get on. Comfortable once on, but so difficult to take off I probably won’t go to the trouble of wearing them

These boots are outstanding and comfy right out of the box. And they're a true American size. I wear a 10.5 American but anything made in "Chyna" ie, Nike, Addidas, Salomon, etc, I wear an 11. Waited 3 months for these to get back in stock. And that's my only complaint with ANY of these shoe sellers. THE MOST common shoe size in America for men is 10.5. Studies show it. Yet time and again ALL of these shoe sellers miss out on thousands of dollars in sales by not doubling up on their inventories for this size. I spoke to a Nordstrom buyer rep and I asked him what his number one selling men's shoe size was. He said 10.5 and it's not even close. Ummm, okay, then why not double your inventory on that size. Fundamental of sales 101 people.

I was looking to replace a 20 year old pair of Red Wing Pecos. Like Red Wing, these boots run slightly larger than my normal 11 boots. I ordered 11's and went through an easy exchange process with Onward. My new 10.5's fit perfectly, so use that for what it's worth. The leather is from Brazil, both upper and lower, seems durable enough for everyday wear. Though I enjoy a leather sole, the vibram sole on these boots is just enough traction without being a lug sole. I appreciate the traction these days. The boots are comfortable out of the box, so not as much break in period. Time will tell, but I love these boots out of the box. Lastly, if you ever deal with the Onward associates on the phone, you will be pleasantly surprised by cheerful, helpful, knowledgeable people that are eager to please. My exchange was seamless and the delivery was quick for the original and replacement orders. If you are looking for a $125 pair of ropers, these boots are not for you. You will get what you pay for. Thank you Onward.

Ridiculously over-priced. You can find a great pair of ropers for $125 or possibly less. Why you ripping people off Onward ?
