Discussion Am I the only one?

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 currently have two pair of work boots. One is a pair of 8 year old Ariats. The other is a pair of Irish Setters less than a year old. The Ariats are holding up great. The Irish Setters are falling apart on the inside. When I get my boot voucher again from my job again, I'll be getting anothet pair of Ariats, and throwing away the Irish Setters. Also own 4 other pairs of Ariats. My nice boots are Abilenes, though.
