Bought a pair of 8" Hawx moc toe boots off eBay new for $100 cheaper than the price here because one of the quick lace things was missing. They're a beautiful heavy leather boot that you can wear for about 30 minutes then you want to throw them out the window they're so stiff. I've oiled & oiled them they're just stiff uncomfortable but nice looking boots . I'm a sucker for moctoe boots

I wear a set of GI issue Bellville boots in the winter most of the time , cheap surplus as a rule I have a few new pairs over the years for way less than $100 wear em out and toss em when I am done with em .
i used to wear whites 375"s for many many years and send them back to be rebuilt. seems like i would get about two years out of them before rebuild and usually could rebuild them three or four times. i still have a couple of pair around the house somewhere.
Going on 3 years with a pair of Durango Ultra-light boots.
I replace the insoles once a year and keep wearing them. Summer and Winter, wet or dry. Made in China but they are holding up very well.
I do have an old beat up pair of Ariat boots I wear when I know I'll do something that'll tear them up though.
It's time for another polish...

I got a pair of these and was shocked. ZERO breakin required. They are the most comfortable leather boots I've ever worn and I tried them all when I was working in shops. I'm completely sold on Thorogood boots now.
O/P I have a pair of Danner 8" East Ridge (no longer made). I love them but wish I had bought the insulated version. Even with wool socks my feet freeze when setting in a blind. That's on me though not the boots.
I wish I'd have spent the money on good boots like yours.
These boots I've got are like a drag queen. From a distance they look the part but upon closer inspection they're not what you're after
When I get ready for a new pair, I’m going to seriously consider Beck Boots (beckboots.com). A member brought them to my attention in another thread awhile back. A pair of custom made boots for around $400. They’re out of Amarillo, TX.
Lots of the cowboys around here have Becks & the really brag about them holding up good
