I'm interested in getting my first pair of boots. Any suggestions? I'd like to keep it under $150. Something I could wear with jeans or slacks. Thanks.
Go to the 'reject rack / slightly imperfect boots' section at Shepler's on the day after Thanksgiving. These are boots with minor defects and I can tell you that I own many pairs of them and can't figure out what's 'wrong' with any of them. You will stretch your $150 into a fine pair of boots that would be out of range otherwise.
So long as I don't give up on this thread, this thread will NOT give up on me. As Red Foreman would say, "I haven't given up on putting a boot up your ***, so don't even lightly begin to think 'a boot up your ***' will give up on you."
