    Try D&D Farm & Ranch Store on the I-10 access road in Seguin. Boots, western wear, hats, saddles, tack, fencing, tools, cattle feed .... you name it.

    Been wearing boots since I was 5 years old.
    I ONLY buy and wear boots made in El Paso.

    Lucchese, J.B. Hill or Rocket Buster.
    Each of these guys make your boot custom to YOU.
    They last many years and are worth the high coin.

    I won't be caught dead with a pair of Justin's.

    I've had a pair of round toe, brown leather Ariat boots for damn near 15 years and I still wear them today. They a pair of the toughest, most comfortable boots you can get for less than $250. I have many pairs of boots some costing $200 some $2000, but these Ariats....I can do just about anything in them. I keep them cleaned up pretty regularly but no major issues.

    For years all I bought were 'Sundowner' lace up boots by Vasque that were made in Italy. Superior quality for a meager $200.00 or less on sale.

    Time passed and they're now made in China.

    Sigh...

    Recently, on sale for $80.00 (goretex too) I bought a pair of Rimrock lace up boots from Cabelas.

    They're wonderfully comfortable, big toe box, quiet when on tile or concrete and are probably Chinese made.

    Some Chinese made stuff is pretty darn good, not Sundowners, but other stuff.

    When I was a wee one, Japanese stuff was thought poor quality, and now it's high quality.

    I think the same phenomenon has evolved with a lot of Chinese stuff as in there's a lot of high quality stuff available from them now if you pick and choose, but at this point, I wouldn't buy one of their cars......

    No more Justins for me. I dont like the fact the back side of my ropers are flaking off like an orange gradually peeling itself. Been wearing boots for many moons. Never had any do this. Justin must have laid off their quality control department.

    I never been able to get my foot down the neck of Tony Llamas. I went to Leddy Brothers in San Angelo to get custom made boots back in the 70s. The guy said he couldn’t make any to fit cause my feet are built like bricks.

    That looks like PU (polyurethane) leather. Are Justins now made off-shore, as in China or India?

    That looks like "bonded" leather like they use for "leather" office chairs and "leather" belts. That's what happens to bonded leather.
