The Experience:  There is a long story about a pair of boots I bought from Regal Boots at the faire.   I won't repeat that story unless requested as I don't want to give him any more attention than necessary.    Suffice to say I found the experience to be completely miserable and was overcharged for the priviledge.  but I'm not here to talk about him.  I found the same pair of boots I got from him, at House of Andar for a third of the price.$119 vs $280.  This time I ordered these

  It took approximately a week, from order to delivery, with two pair sitting on my doorstep.  They don't have many styles and only two colors.  If your looking for a tall boot, you'll notice that they all look the same, but the prices are different.  The pictures don't show it but there is a distinct difference in quality.  The more expensive boots are made with better leather, it's thicker and stiffer.   The cheaper boots feel more like a moccasin, while the others feel more like a real boot.  My first pair was the cheaper ones, that I paid  nearly $300 for from someone else.  They were a good boot, very comfortable.  If you need arch support like I do, you might want an insert  but thats about it.  If you are hard on boots, I am very hard on boot, spend the money on the better ones, or get the low top boots which are also the thicker leather.  If you are just looking for something to walk around in, and complete your outfit, the cheaper pair are still an awesome boot.  For hardcore fighting though, the tougher the better.
