No, really-i'm in the market for a pair,but not sure of the leading brands,who's are most durable,comfy (obviously they'll get better in time),gonna be general use,casual under jeans (what else!) but lots of choice in brand,style etc,looking at all leather,chisel or snip toe,plain/fancy-any tips welcome.Cheers..... 
Justin & Tony Llama are probably two of the best known/respected brands
I love my Ariat boots. I have never had to break them in. They were comfortable the first day.
I used to barrel race and do western pleasure riding...I've worn a lot of boots 
I don't buy 'em new often 'cos they last so long!
But the last 3 pairs I've bought new are by Tony Mora. When buying new it was always from.....wait for it...... 'R. Soles' in the King's Road London.
More recently I found pairs nicely broken in second hand at the markets, specifically those in Camden for example. Even there I seek out Tony Mora's if I can. OK they are made in Spain, but they still stand the test of time if looked after. My oldest pair currently were purchased in 1998.
Wonder, whether we girlies need a high heel post? 
Well lookie here, we've got a real cowgirl in our midst! Barrel racing no less. For those on the other side of the pond: Quarter Horse racing around two barrels in an arena for time, and cash! Take her word as gospel on the boots.

I have several pairs, and my Noconas are by far my favorite. The Tony Lamas didn't blow me away. Luccheses are nice if you can afford them. I hope this helps!

Rick, Bless your Pea-Pick'n Heart...I do need to correct one tiny detail though...you race around 3 barrels making a "clover leaf" pattern.
I do have a pair of Justin boots made from Ostrich that have been beaten to hell and really can't wear anymore, but I can't give them up either!
FYI... My beloved Quarter Horse was named Blue Carbon and he died at 31 years old and we buried him in the pasture standing up and facing West.
Thanks you lot-got some good names i recognise from internet searches,Lariat,Luchesse,Justin to name a few.Gonna seek out some from the Sheplers' website,they seem to have ALL the mentioned brands.Cheers,and i'll let you know..........As for the girlies high heels?Apparently Gina,Laboutin and Jimmy Choo do it for the missus!
