if you play on all of the above than you might want to consider multiple pairs. alot of boots are designed for more quasy specific surfaces...soles of desert/tan boots can be alot harder for stability when walking on the beach....magnums, 511's, original swat, oakley can be more catered to the concrete jungle etc etc etc...

so put ALOT of thought into what you're using them for. all boots have respective pro's and cons for your individual usage.

but one thing is to budget what you can manage...note...i didnt say afford....what you can manage. might take a bit longer but good boots will support, protect and a really good pair will help reduce the amount of crying the dogs do at the end of the day.

I don't even budget for footwear. Boots/shoes are the one piece of clothing I condone spending more than $100 on, and will drop a paycheque on if need be.

People who spend hundreds on a pair of jeans though... especially when they've been pre-beat up and acid washed and shit to look like they're 10 years old... fuck that.

But boots, yeah, for sure spend all you can.
