My Justins feel like I’m wearing slippers and they have since the first day I put them on. They have also been through hell and back and have held up beautifully.
I had a pair of Ariat Pro-Babies lace-ups that I wore for probably 10 years. They were finally to point of needing to be replaced because I had worn the soles so badly when I fell off my young horse last year and snapped my leg in half right at the top of the boots. When they got cut off in the ER, I was happy to have an excuse to replace them until I realized that they don’t make them in black anymore, only brown. I also have fat calves and and have found out that Ariat only makes a couple of versions of boots in black and their pull-ons are just too darn narrow. I’ve tried on a couple of pairs of Justins but just can’t bring myself to pull the trigger, not knowing how they’ll feel over time. I keep hoping I’ll come across a rogue pair of black lace-ups somewhere as a closeout.
I finally replaced my old and beloved but sadly beat to hell fatbabies a year or so ago and the new ones still have not broken in. They are hands down the worst boots I’ve ever bought.
