    I have Justin's now but my Durango's were more comfy for me.

    Get a good quality pair, it's worth it... I have Ariats myself, I wear them all the time. Frye and Justin are good brands within your price range as well. I got mine off countryoutfitter.com and if you sign up for their email list they have deals all the time, like 25$ off a purchase and so forth.

    Justin and Tony Lama are good constructed boots on the inexpensive side. A step up would be brands like Lucchese. The leather is more important than the brand. For dancing stick with cow hide or for a more flexible leather that's even tougher go with kangaroo. Avoid soft leathers like calf skin & goat as the first time you get your toe stepped on they will skin.

    Also, look for boots that have stitched soles and nailed heals which can be replaced when they wear out, and steal shanks (the re-enforcement under the arch) which will make them last longer to begin with.

    I love my cowboy boots and wear them as often as a florida girl can. I wear Corral boots. They are comfortable enough to wear daily at conventions that I do, that is about 10hrs of standing!! And they are super cute!

    Wow, thanks everybody! I'm hearing the Ariat brand tossed around quite a bit. I have never spent so much money on one pair of shoes, but I can look at it as an investment if they last me several years!

    I'v never spent more than $180 (after tax) on a pair of boots. I don't buy anything else really expensive (clothes, jewelry, shoes etc) so I don't mine splurging on a pair of boots. My black Ariats I've had since 2006, my pink and browns for 3 yrs and my blue and brown ones for just about a year (bought them to wear to my wedding) My black ones need to be resoled and restained but they are still the best pair of boots i own!

    Check out Evening Star Boots in Gonzales, Texas. They make boots specifically for country western dance. A little pricey but you can custom order. If custom, they fit better than any boot you will ever wear. Well worth the extra expense by the end of the night. :-)

    I've had my Luchese's for years and worked outside in them and beat the hell out of them and they are still going strong. Super comfy too.

    From experience can't go wrong with Justins or Durangos. I grew up in Durangos and they will always be my favorite but Justins are great too
