I guess it all depends on what you are going to do with them
and how much you want to spend.
Boots for riding are much different than boots you will
wear with a pair of jeans and going out.
As far as dress boots are concerned here is what I think.
A good pair of boots should last you a lifetime and are made
to be repaired and resoled.
If you plan on going out and dancing with them then you
need some quality leather and soles that will give and last
a long time.
Some boots look great but won't last long at all and
many companies are putting their name on boots made
in China. Justin has been putting there name on boots
made in China and the leather is weak. I like Justin
work boots and have had a pair for over 10 years but
they aren't sold in a regular outlet store. Some Justin
boots are still made here and you can find them on
the shelves.
I find that spending a little more and buying a quality
boot made in America always ends up being the wise
choice and they last for years and years.
Boulet makes good boots and they come out of Canada.
They fit pretty good right out of the box. They use a
good quality leather and are a good buy for the price.
Lucchese on the other hand makes some heavy duty
boots in several styles but they do get expensive.
They may cost three times as much as a cheap pair
but they will last 10 times longer than the cheap ones.
You can always find a good pair of Lucchese boots
on sale after Christmas.
I always add a separate insole to my boots and take
them with me when I try on a new pair of boots.
If you are still growing then you might want to do the
same thing so they can still be worn later on as you grow.
Think about what kind of boot you want before you go
shopping. The toe style, the heel, the width and the uppers.
Many of the cheaper boots don't have leather uppers and
they don't ever really get that comfortable feeling like
leather does.
Take your time and look around. Some stores only carry
cheap boots and the selection is poor. Other stores like
Cavenders stock boots by location. Downtown Houston
or San Antonio have a better selection than the stores
they have located in the outer areas of the city. They
have more working boots in stock because that is what
the area demands.
One good thing about a pair of boots is that even if you
aren't wearing them they still are a great piece of artwork
so you can leave them laying around the house.
Or maybe that's just me....

Nice! and great color. Nothing like a good pair of boots and some honky tonk blue jeans. I bet you are wearing them as you go online. And Britt, I know they come it the box that way but you can take another picture with them standing up.  |
