Nice Photos, the colors really come through.I usually wear redwings (iron rangers, moc toes and Chelsea’s) with my jackets. However, redwings don’t have enough tread to handle the snowy Canadian winters. Currently I’m wearing Timberland boots a lot due to good sole treads, waterproofness and built in insulation. The ones I got are darker than the wheat colored ones that are popular with the RnB and rapper crowds. Also, I lace them up like boots should be laced up rather than left loosely laced.

I like heritage roper boots. Really comfortable when worn in, excellent grip and flexibility, and no metal in them so you're straight through the airport.

Got a pair of Ariat ropers as a birthday present last Summer. Know a guy who worked for them and he told me they have a lot of modern technology for comfort and fit. Don't know if thats just marketing. I have to put prescription orthotics in my footwear, or I also use really major insoles in all my shoes due to flat feet and plantar fasciitis:

I like Ariat ropers, though they get dissed a bit on the cowboy boot thread sometimes. Took a little getting used to the square toe but I like ropers, and these are turning into one of my got to footwear.

Those look great to me. Nothing fancy, just basic boots, that can just about go anywhere and fit in with most clothing and environments. Sure can't beat the price either. Nice.I love them and I do find them really comfortable. I've previously had western boots that I found the cushioning in the sole to be pretty average, but I find Ariat's as comfortable as a sneaker when they're worn in, with excellent grip and flexibility.
I've just bought my second pair of these in black:

The first pair I had lasted five years, wearing them pretty much every day all day. The low heal of the ropers move away from the "cowboy" look and they present fairly conservative with a pair of pants, or a bit zippier with jeans. I wear them as my work shoes; they're excellent in the field if I have to visit construction sites or rural locations, and then I can give them a wipe off and straight into the office for a meeting in the boardroom. Even on weekends I find myself reaching for them first over the sneakers.
They do, in fact, look exactly the same as the boots you posts above and advised were your favourites
Those look great to me. They are indeed just like my old Fry Ropers bought in 1990, still going strong.I love them and I do find them really comfortable.

Oh my, the may have been made in Guanajuato. Sorry for my sarcasm, it’s a NYC habit I haven’t lost.
THIS... is how a grizzly should be worn - relaxed, casual, like it's just a jacket, not a costume:
This shirt is awesome! Where did you get it and what brand is it? It's got a 1960s space age and martini vibe. I want one!
