I think Dan Post are lower end. From what I remember, they're about like Laredos. I think I have a pair lying around somewhere, I don't wear them because they got roughed up in a hurry. Could just be that pair. If you don't ride much, I'm guessing they would be fine. I have a pair of Corrals that I like. Ariats are good value for the money, I have a pair of their cheap Stockman's from TSC that have lasted about three years now. Good luck!
