Can anyone help me hunt down a unicorn? I fly for a living and prefer boots for work. I’ve been wearing Ariat ropers since before covid and it’s time to replace. They’re great but the 10” shaft gives me grief with my pants riding up. So I’m looking for something with a 11” or  12” shaft. It can’t have a steel shank and it can’t have a nailed heel, just to avoid talking them off at security. Something like these Durango’s but with a Vibram-type sole. Does such a beast exist?

I’ve come to conclusion that 20k steps in 8 hours will kill your feet no matter the boot. 
 
My choices next year are pain or tennis shoes.

My older ariats have stretched out to the point that I can get insoles in them and I could wear them all day.   Such a difference.

This past July I did back to back 30,000 days in my AB's.

Those are nice.  I can't imagine how many levels of paranoia she'll be going through wearing them outta the house.

It was kind of built in.  Only on perfect weather days with no chance of anything.

Funny thing is, these boots aren't even available on the website.  They did a very limited production for the NFR back in December and put them in their IG stories.  She was committing all of the seven deadly sins looking at them.

We stumbled into a store this weekend and saw them and once I heard them say they had her size, I knew it was over.
