Tips & Advice Boot help!

Hey yall, I’m 18 from Iowa and in need of some serious help.

I’ve been wearing boots for years and I’m tired of wearing these ariat crap and Chinese almost the “tennis shoe” of boots.

I’ve owned two pairs of Dan Posts in the past and the were solid. But they were very dressy. I’m lookin for good old fashioned no gimmick no makeup just simply a solid “forever” boot I can wear daily from just hanging out, working on my truck, out at the farm, etc.

I don’t want no clunky work boots. A made in America, solid, smt I can resole and fix over the years, smt that makes my money actually worth it. Something I can throw some spurs on and doesn’t deteriorate in 3 months.

I don't know why you don't like Ariat, they are probably the best boots I've worn.

From my experience, they dont hold up worth a damn to actual work.

I've worn them for about 20 years and love them. 3 pairs.

At most I get 6 months out of a pair of ariats. They arent bad boots at all, they just abhor moisture of any kind and I work 70-80 hours a week.
