In 1901 Chippewa boots started making their first logger boot but now they are famous for motorcycle boots, snake boots, Wellington boots and many more.

As Chippewa logger boots grew more styles were added. Now whatever you need in a boot a Chippewa boot can meet that need. In addition to their logger boot, which is a great all around work and utility boots I particularly like their Chippewa motorcycle boots. They have solid side belt straps and a toe shifter pad.

If you find yourself in wildness areas with snakes, Chippewa snake boots offer more protection than a thick logger boot can. They make snake proof boots that not only keep you from getting bitten but they are waterproof as well. I think the pull-on model is great. The 17” lace-up version seems a lot of work to me because of so many laces. Plus I’m a little paranoid about having a snake strike and get his fangs stuck in the laces. He could end up kind of hanging there and you have to figure out how to deal with him. However, my concern may not be that well founded and many people may like the lace-up snake proof boots just as well.

While the Chippewa logger boot collection is truly amazing and should be considered on their own merit, if you want good leather lined Wellingtons or a western style boot, they have some very good ones. The 12” Bay Crazy Horse Wellington boot is a very basic looking boot but with the Vibram® sole and Body Cushion® it becomes a great all around Vibram® lug sole work or utility boot.
