I’m not going to lie, at the price range, I had my doubts. Under $300 for some sexy pythons had me skeptical. Boy was I blown away. I have nothing to compare these to. I have owned lucchese, Dan Post, Ariat and Frye, and let me tell you, these boots blow them out of the water. Usually after being out and about my puppies are screaming after a few hours. Not with these. Even with pointed toe, I can go all day with little complaints. Granted, boots are not the most comfortable footwear, but I cannot imagine anything more comfortable than these, short of some custom $2,000 handmade pair. Now I’ve only had these for 2 months now, but I already decided that I will never buy another brand again, I can swear on that. I am so disappointed in all my other boots that I’m gonna have to order 2 more pairs from YHC just to keep from wearing a hole out of my new pythons!
