...Ah, but therein lies the rub. I can't wear normal cowboy boots. I'd looked around at the varieties of square-toed boots, and settled on a harness boot as being about the best bet for me, style-wise (I have a touch of gout, coupled with a lifetime of going barefoot, which results in me being a splay-toed tenderfoot, unfortunately). I've got a good pair of jump boots, but they drive me crazy because the zipper on the side rides up so high that it sets off the metal detectors at the unit, and I have to pull my boots off every day, just to go to work!! AIIIIGGGHH!!! With these, I figure the metal rivets on the harness should fall low enough that they don't trip it, and if they do, it's a lot easier to slip 'em on and off, at need. The trade-off is that they're not really built for running. These things, I know.
More than anything, I'm just concerned about whether or not Durango makes a good boot. I've heard of the brand, but I don't really pay much attention to cowboy boots, for the reasons listed above. If anyone has any direct experience with Durangos, though, I'd be glad to hear it--If I'm going to pay $80 for a boot, I'd like it to last more than a year, y'know? Also, I assume from looking at it that these boots would be resolable. Anyone know for sure?
Thanks!
