Here's what other sites are saying:
From Backcountry Outlet:
"The Chaco Beckwith hiking boot is ready for any backcountry boondock bushwhacking backpacking you can dream up. Featuring a high-profile design, soft and waterproof nubuck leather upper and rubber rands front and rear for extra abrasion resistance, this is a seriously rugged hiker."
From Sierra Trading Post:
"Soft-to-the-touch nubuck is specially tanned to dry faster than normal leather boots. Light in weight, Chaco's hiking boots fit narrower in the heels for a glove-like feel. Polyurethane footbeds reduce pronation Extra high ankle for more support and stability Padded collar and tongue Lace-to-the-toe lace-up system with hooks Protective toe and heel rands for abrasion resistance Slip-resistant rubber tread Leather uppers Height: 5” Weight: 2 lb. 14 oz. pr. Medium width CLOSEOUTS . Italy."
From Moosejaw:
"Rolled your ankle one too many times in a pair of boots that weren"
From RockCreek:
"The Chaco Beckwith Boot features added height for an extra measure of ankle support and is complemented by a lace-to-the-toe adjustability for a close, glove-like fit. Rubber rands at heel and toe afford extra abrasion resistance."

"These are hands down the best boots I've ever stuck my tootsies into. Why? Mainly the contoured footbed. My first Chacos were flips. I swear they make me walk better, w/better balance. Maybe it's a pronation thing, but when I wear either the boots or the flips, I feel like I'm walking like God intended."

"This is hands-down the worst pair of boots that I've ever owned and perhaps the worst piece of gear, period. The leather uppers are flimsy and offer about as much ankle support as a pair of tennis-shoes. Despite being leather boots with a reinforced toe, my feet got completely soaked any time that I hiked through snow or shallow puddles."

"When I saw the Beckwiths in Mountain Chalet, I was delighted to find what looked like a good, simple one-piece leather boot. However, I was skeptical of the lining which was glued and not sewn. My skepticism was well founded. The lining started to come unglued very soon."

"Far and away an awesome boot. I purchased these on a massive sale and consider myself really lucky to own a pair. Very comfortable and supportive. Tight heel yet enough room in the front to keep your toes from cramming. They have provided me with awesome stability and the footbed keeps your feet from getting sore even with 55+ lbs on your back."

"I would rank these boots as the second best pair of boots I have owned. The break-in time is about the same as other all-leather boots (a couple of weeks) and your feet will hurt until a) the boot is broken in and/or b) your feet are broken. The construction materials are top quality but some of the design features are annoying."

"The boots fit great, and are sturdy enough for long hikes. Haven't gone backpacking with them, but don't know if they are rugged enough for a week-long trip in the Sierras. The sole pattern is "interesting". I do like the leather around the top interior."

"This is a high quality boot; definitely worth what I paid for them (and more!). They are made in Italy, which speaks volumes for the craftsmanship that is put into them. I wore them on a 220 mi trip on the Appalachian Trail. I could’ve gotten by with a lighter, less rugged boot, but I am happy with my purchase because I know I will have these boots for life."

"I have owned a pair of Beckwiths for a little over two years now and they are truly superior footwear for hiking and backpacking. But it pains me to say that they will no longer be made, Chaco has discontinued them due to the manufacturer's desire to move to China."

"These boots are really great. Comfy right out of the box. Nice narrow heal and wide toe box. Very ugly boot, but worth its weight in gold. I twisted my ankle some time ago and had painful tendonitis daily. After wearing my Chacos for two days I had no more pain! They come with their own inserts like Superfeet."

"Until my recent acquisition of Chacos, the last great pair of boots I purchased was in 1978. These boots are amazingly comfortable and well made. A bargain at twice the price. I am considering picking up a second pair now because something this good won't be available in the future. Corporate Amerika will discover them and kill the quality, never fails."

"Over the past few years, I have spent a lot of time and money in my quest to find a very comfortable boot designed for backpacking (with good ankle support). I tried close to a dozen boots from various manufacturers, including most of the big name brands with $200-$400 models."

"I bought these to backpack and after 10 months, I find that I wear them almost everywhere. They have plenty of toe room [most important for me] and leave my heels where they belong. They look like the day I bought them and feel like a part of my foot."

"I've tried various hiking boots, and these are by far the best I've ever purchased. I paid $100 as they were closeouts from $240 - apparently, Chaco made a minor change to them. These boots are made of a one piece 3mm nubuck leather, with glove leather lining in the heel."

"Having tried over the years more boots then I care to count I have finally found a boot that fits my foot. I have had some heel problems for about 3 years, and as a former Search And Rescue Volunteer my feet really gave me problems on searches. Wouldn't it figure that after I got out of search and rescue that i would finally find in my opinion the best boot made, at least for me anyway."

"I've owned Pivettas, Vasques, Limmers, Merrell Wilderness. These new Chacos, which I bought outside Zion this spring after raising nasty blisters in my Merrells, are far and away the best-fitting, well-designed boots I've ever worn. They grip tight around the ankle and have scads of room in the toebox."
