I have owned one pair of Dan Post Lizard boots since 1993 in exactly this style. It's the same boot. They are still dancing and still looking great. I may have to have them half soled for the first time this winter. This is the most comfortable boot I have ever owned and the best any footwear has ever fitted to my foot in my entire life. Although I've worn a number of different boots, different styles and makers, this is the boot I will wear for life. Looks great dancing or going out on the town, rides great and walks easy. I can wear this boot and stand all day long without pain. I can wear this boot all weekend and dance all night. It's better than my athletic shoes for comfort. This classic boot is so perfect for all my needs that it should never go out of style and it should never be discontinued. Well worth the money and more for quality and comfort, durability and style. It's a real "feels good, looks good" boot that delivers even more than it promises. It's a cowgirl's dreams come true.
