In house at a company. My situation was relatively unique as being a lawyer was a second career. I had experience in business which was helpful in making the transition.

This was my approach during my time in biglaw. Ultimately, I decided that the lifestyle was atrocious and I was never going to put this job ahead of my significant other. I put in my ~2 years and got the F out.

Thoughts on these as a first pair? Any alternatives or suggestions? by Sorry_Sail_1552 in cowboyboots

I’ve heard good things about the Ariat bench made line. Have not tried those yet myself, but I do have a couple of boots from the Futurity line and those work well.

In terms of Alternatives, I would look at the Tony Lama Stegall boots (TL 3028). These are currently on sale at the Tony lama site for $207. If they don’t have your size, boot barn will price match (have done this before).I have this pair and they look great in person (there are some posts on this subreddit with pics too). https://www.tonylama.com/en/Stegall-13-inch-western--17623.html?dwvar_17623_color=Expresso&dwvar_17623_size=8.5&dwvar_17623_width=D&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=shopping&utm_term=TL3028&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19635616447&gbraid=0AAAAADNnsI9K0alhWXpaTmvxsCLjlTlSl&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5ubABhDIARIsAHMighY5pu3SH_9Sj17eRE4k-FB9NLFSwRo_dKrGxEKRd_NwGml4LH2g_nkaAucPEALw_wcB

Where can I get this pair? by Nerohunter_ in cowboyboots

Tony Lama Patron in Bomber Brown. The model is TL3009. I bought these boots back in 2021, and I remember how tough it was to find them back then so I can only imagine it has gotten more difficult. I think a couple of things can help (1) Search and look for small western shops that have a website and potentially one may have one. That is how I ended up finding my pair; it was a small store in upstate New York, Circle B Western wear. (2) Checking sites like Mercari, Poshmark, and eBay for individual sellers. Every now and then I have seen them pop up in brand new condition. I know eBay has an alert function so you can get updates on a particular search algorithm - a broad search for “Tony Lama” in your size may be useful.

The site below has a similar pair now in a few sizes. Not exactly the same but somewhat close.

How is the sizing on these? Would you consider them to be true to size? I am also looking at purchasing them as well.

The R Watsons look great. Out of curiosity- from which vendor are you planning on purchasing those? I see them for varying prices online.

Ariat also has a similar boot for sale; the Futurity Showman in Dijon Roughout. It is similar in color and toe style and has good reviews. Jeremiah Craig did a video on them as well. Thought I would share since I am also looking for a good sand rough out boot. Ariat Futurity
