Reviews

Love the Tates!

"Amazing look, quality, comfort, and fit! I own three pairs of Tates and 6 pairs of Rubi’s in total love them all!"

Ricardo G. (5/5)

Great everyday boot!

"The Tate is very comfortable and as it wears the patina and leather softens. With the 7 toe the boot is great for everyday or going out. I have 4 pair so that speaks for itself."

William E. (5/5)

Bourbon Tates 🥃

"10/10 as expected from Rujo! Perfect fit, beautiful boot, comfortable as all heck! Rujo goats are undefeated."

Malik B. (5/5)

Overpriced Boots That Don’t Deliver

"These boots look great at first glance and have a style that initially feels premium. However, after spending some time with them, they don’t really live up to the price point. The overall build don’t feel as high end as you might expect, and the comfort is just average rather than impressive. While the design is attractive, the details could definitely be better. Some of the finishing and small touches make the boots feel a bit less refined than what you’d expect in this price range. They’re not bad boots, but they don’t quite deliver the level of quality that the cost suggests. For the money, I’d probably recommend looking at brands like Lucchese, Tecovas or Tony Lama instead. Those tend to offer stronger craftsmanship, better comfort, and more consistent quality for a similar price."

Daniel C. (4/5)

Absolutely fantastic

"This was my first pair of "real boots" and Rujo nailed it. They came with some creasing but I just chalked that up to characteristics of goat skin, I bought them to wear and these are the most comfortable footwear I've ever put on, will definitely be getting another pair of Tates in Peanut and some Gavin's when they get my size in stock! I was worried about sizing but I just pulled the trigger on my usual size and they fit better than a glove. I love these boots"

Frederick R. (5/5)

Most comfortable pair I own.

"Love these boots , extreme comfortable and the have a nice classic look to them."

Jozeah B. (5/5)

"Extremely comfortable boots. They look killer in person. Customer service was outstanding. If your on the fence, buy you a pair or 6."

Danny (5/5)

Fabulous Boots!

"Their mistake, my benefit! These “mis-colored” Peanut Tates not only look great, mistaken color or not, they are super comfortable and totally come in “under the radar” as far as presentation goes! They look and feel heavy duty capable, look great whether dressed up or dressed down. These are a can’t miss boot!"

Christopher N. (5/5)

Perfect color! Great fit!

"The bourbon color is fantastic, almost as good as the Peanut! Fit so far is on point, don’t see this will be a boot that needs a lot of break in."

Paul (5/5)

Tons of character!

"I was hoping to get a pair with a lot of character, and I really did!"
