Cowboy boots

Who makes a good pair of cowboy boots these days? Ones with actual leather uppers and insoles?
Years ago I got a nice pair of Noconas, but that was before Justin bought them out and started making them with foam soles, cheap leather, and plastic trim.
Same thing happened to Tony Lama.

Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing some on sale, he bought them and
wore them home.
Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife, 'Notice anything different about me?'
Margaret looked him over. 'Nope.'
Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked back into the kitchen
completely naked except for the boots.
Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time, 'Notice anything different NOW?'
Margaret looked up and exclaimed, 'Bert, what's different? It's hanging down today,
it was hanging down yesterday, it'll be hanging down again tomorrow!'
Furious, Bert yelled, 'AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?'
'Nope', she replied.
'IT'S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!!'
Without changing her expression, Margaret replied, 'Shoulda bought a hat, Bert.
Ya Shoulda bought a hat.'

The only downside is that the price was pretty high!

So anybody know of some good designs and brands. I am not educated in the lingo that goes with the boots so you would have to dumb it down for me.
Thanks

Bought a pair of their Farmer/Rancher lace ups when my feet stopped growing. Had them for over 20 years.

Didn't know White's made poop-kickers.

Neither did I. Love their logging boots.

Matehuala Mexico can make you a custom pair like these.
I think he's looking for something a little less "formal"[:D]
I don't see me spending a grand or better on a pair of boots......
Not that I wouldn't like to.

We see those in my part of TX. Not quite that long. We call them Elf Boots.

Run'em into a corner and have at it.
I've had VERY good luck with Dan Post Boots. Leather uppers and soles.

Like Justin, Dan Post thinks that a thin film of leather wrapping a piece of foam constitutes a quality leather insole.[:I]

I have about six pairs of fooey kickers, but my Justin slouch boots are the most comfortable. I wear them daily. One pair last about five years.
I've had my Noconas for about 16 years. 3 soles later and they're still in good shape. The only reason I want new boots is for something new to look at on my feet. These are comfortable and just getting broke in.

maybe so but they hold.up for me! 2-3 soles over 6-10 years....
Diabetic foot pain, I can't wear boots any more. Sold my Lucchese kicks on the bay with a pair of Justins to a guy in Japan! Had me ship them to Kaliforkia.
Kept trying to wear my last Justins, just can't stand it. Just sold them too about a month ago.
I like the looks of Ariat boots and they seem to have nice cushion insoles but they come from China like most things anymore. Got my daughter a pair for Xmas at Tractor Supply. She loves them.
I recently ordered a Tony Llama belt. Surprise. It's made in China.

I have several pairs of Justin's that I wear around the farm, or to just do general work in. They have held up to the abuse, but they are not the same boot you could buy 15 years ago.
I have a pair of Dan Post that fit like a glove, and are the best pair I own. However, I bought them 33 years ago, and I can't say if Dan Post makes them that nice any more.
My dream boots would be hand made from a little om & Pop boot shop I know of in San Antonio. They have a waiting list of about 11 months if you order a pair, and they only deal with the customer in person.

I tried Justins, Lamas, and on. Then I put on a pair of Posts, and it was like soft gloves, and I no longer 'clunked' around. The 3 pair that I have now, I've had for 12 years. Everything else felt like I was wearing a pair of cement troughs.
the son of a friend had a pair made by some outfit in Texas, but they were nearly $2K;but I'm sure they were top quality leather. I do wonder what they put into a boot that makes them worth $1K each.
I was all set to go on an alligator hunt last Feb, but when I found out how much it would cost to make the beast into a few belts and some boots, we went somewhere else.
My current favorite pair are Stetson full quill Ostrich. Super comfy. wore them to dinner and out on the town in Vegas tonight.
Try Ariats. Don
If you can find me an Ariat with a leather insole, I'll be interested.

Well, I just went and bought some new work boots. I happened to remember this post! I got their Hathorn loggers. Very comfy. I'm guessing the break-in period will only be a week or so.

You said Cowboy boots....
Round here that usually means "dress" boots or ropers
"Work Boots" is a totally different question.
Hunting and Work boots I like Danner but have worn out many other brands as well.
Spent most of last Saturday with my oldest getting her some new boots. Sales people were very attentive but kept bothering me. No, just go help her. I'm looking at belts and shirts while she is boot shopping...
Boots like that would get you laughed out of any bar or cafe west of the Mississippi(and east of Kali).

Dennis has good taste in boots. As does fideau.
Take proper care of a pair of Lucchese and you'll more than get yer moneys worth.

That's because back in January, that's what I was looking for. Had a different need more recently..[:)]
