Is the Tecovas Cartwright worth it?

For a first or everyday cowboy boot, yes. It is a welted, resoleable leather boot at a mid-range price, and the goat upper is comfortable from the start. If you need a rubber sole for wet or rough ground, look at a different model.

How does the Cartwright fit compared with other boots?

Tecovas uses its own last, so many buyers go with their normal sneaker size or a half size down from other western brands. Try them on carpet first, since the leather sole scuffs easily.

Can the leather sole be resoled?

Yes. The 3/4 Goodyear welt lets a cobbler replace the sole when it wears through. That is the main reason to pick this over a cemented boot.

The boots only. No boot trees, bags or extra laces are included.

Our take on the Tecovas Cartwright Cowboy Boot

The Tecovas Cartwright is a classic round-toe cowboy boot with a 12-inch shaft, a 1½-inch stacked angled heel and a goat-leather upper. It uses a leather sole with 3/4 Goodyear welt construction, a cowhide lining and a tri-layer insole, so it can be resoled rather than replaced. Tecovas sells most men's boots directly for around $295, and the Cartwright is the brand's entry-level western boot. No current store price was provided for this page, so check the live comparison before buying.

What reviewers say
