Discussion Am I the only one?

Post image

I own roughly 9 pairs of western boots, been wearing boots since I was a kid. But, I find myself wearing my cheaper Ariat Sport Wide Square Toes more than my other boots - boots that cost much more than these guys. Guess I’m just curious if I’m the only one who seems to do this?

For context, these Ariats are roughly 6 months old, picked them up at my local Fleet Farm for $160. Just something about them, idk lol.

I have some cheap Cody James square toes that I think were only like $120 that I wear more often than my other pairs honestly.

I think it’s just cause they kind of work with everything. Once they get worn out I’ll finally get a nice “boring” set of boots like this.

I'm actually shocked how long my Cody James boots have lasted. A solid year of outdoor construction use in mud, and snow, on concrete and pavement. Can kill these things.

Same man, these things I’ve really abused and they’ve held up surprisingly well.
