I bought a pair of justin boots a few years ago, and within a couple of weeks the toe chipped off of the rubber sole. I took them back to the store and exchanged them for a pair with leather soles. Within a couple weeks of wear the sole started to come off of the second pair. Not very happy, I took them back to the store and asked for my money back as they cost about $200, and they refused. So I got a pair from Beck Custom Boots in Amarillo. I've been wearing them for nearly three years now, and they are just now starting to crack on the sides because I didn't Keep them oiled like I should. They are the most comfortable boots I've ever worn, and I have worn them every day since I've had them. They are made for working in and as long as you take care of them, they will last a long time. Any factory boots I've owned only lasted me a few months, but I work in them every day. I like the Beck boots because they are made for the working cowboy, and are made for people who are horseback a lot, and that's how I usually hunt.

i never tried any sort of oil after the first time cause the leather always wound up stretching so i turned to NikWax just like i use on my hiking boots.
what's the secret on the oil??

Go to the kitchen, get the olive oil out, and go to town. It doesn't make the leather stiff or discolored. It's the best I've found.

The last 3 pairs of work boots I've had were Carharrt steel toe and they have all held up pretty well I like how tuff the tops are but not how big and stiff the tops are.
I've got a pair of square toed Twisted X boots and unless I switch to custom boots I probably won't buy a different brand.
My dad bought a pair of Twisted X work boots 2 years ago and he stills wears them just about every day and the only thing he has done to them was replace the insole
