Where do yall buy your work/cowboy boots? I don't live close to any good western stores, i found this pair of Justin's on bootbarn.com for $56. anybody know if they are any good? They are the 10" Roper model...

It depends on what you'll be wearing them for.

If it's for work, you may not want a leather sole. I prefer a rubber sole on work boots. They wear better, aren't as slick, and won't absorb water. Red Wing and Wolverine are the two brands I've owned, and both brands have lasted for 2-3 years.

If they're for dress, those would make a pretty sharp dress boot. It's hard to go wrong with Justin, but I've grown used to Ariat with a crepe sole. Much more comfortable if you're on your feet than a leather sole.

A lot of places sell some boots. Bass Pro, Tractor Supply, Cabela's. I've never ordered boots, and would be pretty leary to do so. I'm particular about the fit though. Either way, that's a pretty good buy.

Yep, Justin Ropers are definitely dress, not work boots. Both Cabelas and Bass Pro Shop have a good selection of work boots. I've owned several brands over the years, and currently I'm in a pair of Ariat lacers. Super tuff and very comfortable.

Justin does make a rubber sole work boot roper. I have the lace-up ones and love 'em!

I got my last pair from Sears; I believe they are call die-hards, but not sure. They have titanium toes instead of steel, and are the most comfortable boots I've ever worn. No more "dollar store" boots for me. I'm on my feet all day on concrete and a couple more bucks make a difference.
