They had Tony Lama's up to $500 (The pair I bought was $250?) They are so Comfortable though!

All in all, I would say my Tony Lamas have been my favorites. I did have a pair of Nocona and a pair of Sage boots a long time ago , and both of them were good too. I wore the Sage boots for 4 years and the only thing I had to do was have the heels replaced one time.

The Justin's I picked up were basic no design pull on boots. I could understand the $159 if they had some kind of design on them, but nope. My Tony Lamas (Below) are all decked out, and even they were cheaper.

I like the soles on those boots. It looks like they would be comfortable and won't slip at the same time.

I haven't had a single issue with slippage. It was raining all day yesterday, and I could walk right onto the smooth tile floor at work without even worrying about sliding across it.

While I'm working all I'll wear are my CAT steel toe boots. Most comfortable pair I've ever owned. When im going places, I mainly wear my justin slip on boots. They ain't as comfortable as the CAT boots but I like em a whole lot better!

Well my WalMart brand is awesome! Not. They feel like a $50 pair of boots lol. Prolly cuz theyre a $50 pair of boots...
Id like to get somethin better but last time I got an expensive pair, I was not impressed. Paid $160 for a pair of Ariats and they were wore out within 6 months. Wal Marts boots last that long at 1/3 of the cost!

Well, my Tony Lamas have been surprising me. Only real problem I have had with them is that the little dark brown design strips in the sole have been peeling out. No big deal though. I actually love how they're padded on the inside of the ankle, that's something none of my Ariats have had. If I had to rate my Tony Lamas at this point, I'd give them an 8 out of 10. Even though they're a division of Justin boots, it looks like they still have some control over their own QC division, far from Justin's crappy executives and their barely existent quality control standards.

I got a pair of cowboy boots I found at a thrift store that I wear everyday. Not sure of the brand, but they do say made in USA. I also have a pair of Lucchese rough outs that I wear, in addition to some Tony Lamas I have for a dress boot. I also got a pair of Double-H engineer boots I wear from time to time, but they hurt my feet unfortunately. Lastly, I got a pair of Magnum combat boots I sometimes wear.

My ol dan post boots finally took a dump after working them so long so now I am only using my Brahama's for work and use my Express riders for riding the horse and steel horse, and Justins for my good boots barely use them though because I usually am working.

One of my bosses gave me a pair of Dan Post boots the other day. They're the pointed toe kind though, and I'm not a fan. They also have no tread, and look like Line Dance boots more than anything else. I'm probably gonna donate them to a good cause.
