Well, July of 2009 I picked up a pair of cheap Ariat Sierra Ropers. Two years later I still use them daily, and aside from discoloration, they have been the best damn boots I've ever owned. I went out and bought a second pair for dress and school about a year ago, and those too have lasted, and still look brand new, at least to me.

I worked residential maintenance landscaping out of college and burned through three pairs of timberlands in 6 months. Atleast I was in shape then.

I'd love to know how they hold up, I bought a pair in the spring. They're still in the box, I'm still on my 5 year old Carhartt boots. I never would've thought they would hold up as good as they did.

got a pair of twisted x silver buckle series cattleman boots that i wear for show,
and a pair of $50 rugged outbacks that i beat the hell out of.
the twisted x boots are great,
the outbacks are cheap, had them for 2 years and still together though. but i want a better pair.
only thing is that the X's have a hard heel above 3/16" rubber sole. they got wore down on the very back and now when i walk its the clop, clop, clop. i have to TRY to walk quietly
