Fit: Runs true to size. The broad square toe gives plenty of room without feeling loose.
Comfort: Breaks in quickly and feels good for everyday wear. The stockman heel is stable and comfortable, though adding an upgraded insole helps if you’re on your feet all day.
Style: Clean, classic western look with nice stitching and a solid shape.
Overall: Cody James boots are Boot Barn’s entry-level line, positioned below their handmade El Dorado brand. Most are under $250, and not all are full leather, so materials reflect that price range. Still, the Ashland model offers good comfort, decent build quality, and a sharp western style for the money — a great choice for someone getting into cowboy boots without overspending.
