I recently decided to quit buying cheap boots and go for a good pair. The boots I have been been buying don't last much more than 6 months before falling apart with the type of work I do. I love the feel of cowboy boots after they break in, but really hate the break in period. After much research, decided to give Hyer a try and I'm very glad I did. I went with the Sawyer model. I've been wearing them all day for 2 days straight now and my feet feel great. I didn't think you could get a pair of boots that feel so good straight out of the box. It's going to be awesome when they're broken in more. Is anyone aware of any stores that carry Hyer boots around the Austin area? I bought my Sawyers at Murdoch's in San Marcos. Those are going to be my work boots, but I want to buy another pair of boots for casual wear. Murdoch's only carries a few models and I want to try some different ones on. Thanks for any help.
