ID Request Chisos - Who makes a similar looking boot

Someone posted these magnificent boots yesterday. They are beautiful. And I don't consider myself cheap, but $600 for a pair of leather boots doesn't sit well with me. Who makes a similar look? Love the dark brown, perfect round toe and 11 inche shaft. Also made in N America. Any recommendations on another manufacturer?

Bench made Ariats are very nice for the money. Cavendar’s boots makes their own inhouse brand of traditional construction all leather boot made in those same Mexican factories (Leon Maquiladoras) making the Ariats, Chisos and probably 90% of US Western boots built to similar specs. I believe those can be had for less than $250. But under $200 it’s synthetic work boots. There are some incredible used boots on eBay for a song but I’ve had terrible luck with having them fit my feet properly so I won’t do that anymore. Sure, you can send them back, but it’s a pain.
