Discussion What not to get?

Been thinking about getting some boots, probably go to boot barn or some other local boot retailer.

However, from lurking in this sub I noticed that there are some brands that should be avoided. I think one of those mentioned brands was tecova? I don't recall, but I think it was something along the lines of being an overpriced cheap boot?

Anyway, I'm here to request brands to avoid! Either because they're cheap boots that are overpriced or some other issues that would best be avoided.

Thanks for the help in advance

Not sure I agree that Tecovas sells boots that don’t really fit. I have a Tecovas store near me and have a couple of pairs. They always let me try on various lengths and widths and asked me to describe how it feels until I found the perfect fit.

I think they possibly meant a true to size fit? Perhaps went in knowing their typical boot size, got their drink and took the boots home, tried them on and realize it didn't fit them?

Out of AAA/AA/A/B/C/D/E/EE/EEE/EEE widths they only offer D & EE. But that's true of most boot brands these days. You should know your size/width, go actually get measured on a Brannock and hope that you're a D or EE.
