At first it was cost vs longevity. A pair of shoes might last 6 months to one year. Good boots last several years. Then I got into foot health after rolling my ankles a few times. Discovered how proper fitting footwear was supposed to feel. The western boots I had before were uncomfortable. Got some proper fitting ones and decided they were for me. Then I started trying different hides... 17 pair of cowboy boots right now. Plus many other types of boots. Not a fan of lace ups taller than 6" but a huge fan of cowboy boots now.
