Tony Llama, Justin, Luchese.
Get them re-soled with a good rubber traction sole.
Bullhide is good.
Elephant is better. Almost indestructible
Whale is even better but almost unobtainable and politically incorrect.

Red Wing Wellingtons have worked many years for me.

I'm looking at the Justin 10" Goretex boot. Cabelas has 'em at $189, but there is a $20 off offer on internet orders until 3/17

Could care less...
I don't have an image I'm trying to portray or a fashion show to go to
All I care about is whether the boots are comfortable, keep my feet dry, are easy to put on, and have a good grip....Based on the 11 reviews at 5 stars, looks like they'll fit the bill.

I have wore out a lot of boots in the last 49 years of riding but I believe the best boot has got to be a pair of "Desset Boots" I got from a young soldier recently. He said they were too big for him and therefore he never wore them much, thus extra low mileage. They are relatively light weight, Gortex lining, high tops and have speed laces. The bottoms have a pretty aggressive sole so they are excellent for riding. I have seen like boots at area sporting goods stores for around $175.00 (new) a pair and around $50.00 at Army surplus stores.
