Default Best, or just real good riding boots

I need a new pair of boots, the main thing I don't like about my current boots is they are not real comfortable when I get to where I am riding to and am on my feet for a while. Walking around Strugis this past year made me realize, I need something better.
Since once you buy a pair of boots you end up living with them for sometime I would like to get some input before buying again
Thanks in advance.

Wesco. Expensive as hell, but the last boots you will ever buy.

I wear Chippewa 11" harness boots. Great for riding or walking around once you get there.

go to an army surplus store & check out Jungle boots. Their light & they breath!!! hard soles for the road but they are flexable.

Go to HD dealer, and look at the FXRG boots. I have them and I love them...about $220 I think. Comfortable, waterproof etc..

I have worn Cruiserworks boots for years and love them, I have not bought a pair after they changed ownership and manufacturing. I have had the two pairs I own each resoled with no problems.

I just use 1 of the boots I use for work. I have White's Smoke Jumpers, Chippewa steel toe loggers and a pair of Red Wings. All are USA made and comfortable.

I like the lace ups for riding. The snugness is important to me as the dresser weighs 800#s and don't want any movement when I put my foot down.

As far as comfort; they are all comfortable after broken in. None of them are cheap. (240+) But since I make my living on my feet the cost isn't important.

I have Double-H harness boots & really like them for riding. Probably not the best for long-duty walking (as w/any coyboy style boot), but they're build well for rid'n.

I wear Tony Lamas. More comfortable than bedroom slippers and I can walk all day in them.
