I ordered some Justin cowgirl boots off eBay and I was very impressed with how pliable, comfortable and well-made they were. I can't stop wearing them; even though I try not to wear them too much on pavement/asphalt. So, I was similarly excited to purchase some boots for my hubby. These were on sale for such a great price that I decided to grab them for him, not knowing that Justin boots can also be made in China. The old saying "you get what you pay for" holds true for these...I wasn't as impressed with their pliability. They almost feel like a cheap version of leather or something...also, hubby got a size 9.5 and they ran pretty long. Since his heel was lifting a bit, I didn't mind since most riders prefer that anyway just in case your boot were to get caught in the stirrups. However, that aside, overall they just weren't that comfortable as the ones I fell in love with...that WERE made in the USA.
