I like these boots very much, they are true to size, well constructed, and very comfortable.  I have problems with Planter Fasciitis, and I have found that a higher heel (like you get on this kind of cowboy boot) helps to releive the pain much better than any of the expensive shoe inserts I have tried.  I wear these boots all day at work and have found that they have good traction, good foot pading, and good ankle support.
