Justin Ropers are the most comfortable boots there are out there. I wear Justin's everyday to ride in, weekends to show in, and also to just go out. You will not find a more comfortable and sharp looking combination and the affordable price of a Justin.

When I'm serious about all day wear, I'll look for something better. The Justin line has been made in China for years and the so-called Basics I just bought are completely truthful in revealing that the upper and sole are manmade. That said, the vamp and upper both look good enough in the Bay Apache color. They have weird bright white stitching (even on the black model) at the top of the sole. I used three coats of heel black applied with a fine paint brush to kill the white and make them look normal. But I've always liked the Roper look so I'm willing to work for it.

The arch support on the Basics is non-existent so that they feel like you're wearing empty Kleenex boxes. Since I'm flat-footed I assume that all my shoes will require fairly stiff arch support inserts so this didn't bother me much. The manmade uppers are not as soft as real leather so you need long socks to protect your calves from scratches, etc.

If you just want some knockabout boots that look good with jeans for a casual day or evening, these are okay. They are available at a lot of sporting goods stores, Tractor Supply Centers, etc, and they're certainly cheap. But if you expect heavy use, all day comfort, great value for you money, etc. you need to spend AT LEAST $110.00, on higher end Justins or Ariats or other big names I know nothing about. Other boot experts will say you need to spend a lot more than $110.00 and I will defer to them. If you have problem feet, consider hand-measured, hand-made from a local boot maker, but bring lots of money and months of patient waiting.

I can't imagine buying boots online without extensive local legwork to make sure of my size and comfort. Justin boots are sized MUCH larger than Ariat and when it comes to any pull-on boot, your regular shoe size is meaningless. The Justin website has a simple and helpful video about how to find the right-sized boot here [...] DO NOT accept a boot that is the least bit uncomfortable. Within days, you will be in agony and you will eventually give your boots to the Goodwill box.

Frankly, even some relatively good manufacturers and catalog houses are sloppy about their color photos on their website, so don't be sure of the color until they come out of the box. You could be in for a surprise.

I bought a pair of Justin boots approximately six months ago, although not worn that frequently, the seams joining the front halves of the uppers to the rear are coming apart. Only the pull-on strap stitching is keeping the boots from falling completely apart. Not a very good product and contact with the manufacturer amounted to a "go away boy, don't bother us" response.

after only 2 months the shoe sole fell apart. Then the stitching on the side of the shoe came loose. I have worn Justin boots for over 25 years(same type of ropers - different colors). I have never had a defective boot like this. I called and e-mailed papa shoe, They said I had to return it to the justin the manufacture. If I would have bought it at Cavenders or Sheplers, They would have exchanged the boot and did the return for me. I called Justin, They told me to mail my boots in to them and it would take up to 6 weeks to get a response. I will not buy from Papa Shoe again.

I bought these boots since a friend has the same pair and I was looking for a nice weathered looking leather (Bay Apache) that absolutely had a leather sole so the boot can be repaired in the future.

Still breaking the boots in, but I know the leather will become nice and soft. Should last for many years to come.

In terms of style, these are a kind of subtle boot since if you are wearing jeans, they just kind of look like leather shoes which was the look I was going for.

I have seen higher quality boots, but they tend to cost a few hundred dollars. For daily wear, this pair is great.

First I have a pair of these boots and they are great. The issue is with the provider. The leather was damaged. I was very disappointed that someone didn't check the boots more closely before shipping, especially since it was so close to Christmas and more than likely they knew it was a Christmas gift. It tied up a $114 of my money and I had to find another gift and wait on my money from the boots. I understand that things can be damaged, but especially during Christmas, shippers should check things before shipping.

I ordered these boots and they came as promised. I was not satisfied with the model and had no problems sending them back. The model 3040 Justin to me is a better boot. This boot has a thin sole and a very low profile heel.

Great boots. I needed a pair for when I ride my motorcycle. They are very comfortable and come in wide sizes!! I have a wide foot and I have trouble finding shoes. I would certainly buy another pair from this vendor. The boots arrived the next day!! Very quick service!

I can get why the pair I bought are branded Made in China. They are not made of leather, also are not made with the quality expected from a brand as Justin. This Basic's are BS, nothing else

COLOR WAS NOT WAS SHOWN. NO TIME TO RETURN THEM THOUGH WE HAD TO USE THEM
