| I LOVE my Ariat cowboy boots. They're square toes, comfy, calf high, kinda simple (brown with a mint/blue top) , and I really like the tread on the bottom as they're not as slippery but I've had them for about five years and they're mainly what I wear everyday so I've already replaced the heel once and am working on my second, as well as the sole is being broken down. Until they fall apart, I will wear them but I'll be in the market for a newer pair and was just curious what your favorite boots were? Specifically for all around wearing and riding, nothing fancy. As much as I would like to stick to Ariat I want to see my other options and have been interested in trying something with more tread, kinda like most lace up boots or work boots have. I've seen the tread on the square toe Durangos and have been curious about them, anyone wear them? A HUGE thing is I don't wanna break the bank. I got my current boots as a gift but luckily they were found for a steal on Ebay for only $75 new. I also don't mind buying lightly used ones for a decent price.
ETA: Those are mine below and that's the style I like!

| I used to be a die-hard Justin fan, but I bought a pair of these a few months ago and love them. Super comfy and are holding up well so far.

Location: California | Ariat and Justin. I buy very simple, square toe, normal height boots with solid colors. They are both affordable for the basic boots and I love them. I wear through the leather soles in about 9 months or so but that is normal for me and I don't like rubber soles. |

| My Tony Lamas have nearly doubled the life-span of every pair of Ariats that I've ever had and they're still going strong!
I like the way they wear, they aren't as comfortable as Ariats but they are really close. |

I trash a pair of Justin Gypsy's every year. I wear them down to nothing, it's pretty sad. I really need to find a new kind of boots, Gypsy's don't really fit me right, and I have big feet! Every pair of boots I have found that are size 9 1/2, have a HUGE calf part, and my jeans don't even fit over them. I'm about ready to ride barefoot! |

I had a pair of Justin Gypsy's and they were janky as crap. Didn't fit me right either, just kinda flopped around inside the boot. They broke down in about a year. I was very disappointed in their quality.
I have a pair of Ariat's I bought from an English tack shop about 10 years ago that I still have. They have held up really nice, but have been discontinued. |

Location: California | I will add that I had a pair of Tin Haul's that I LOVED and the bottoms held up for as long as I wore them (year and a half?), compared the the leather soles I wear through in 9 months. Actually, I might go dig those out considering I am walking on the ground with my toes in my current Justin's.  |

Location: Too far from home | Boulet. I have a pair that I've absoultely treated horribly for the past 6 years, resoled them once and still they hold up. I have some dress boots too and they are super comfortable as well. I highly recommend them. |
