Well...today I decided to take another look around for boots. This is what I found:



I found them on sale at Payless for $14.99

I'm going to return the Rockports and invest the difference in some kilt hose and a belt. I also looked at Target, as someone had suggested, and I really liked their Mack boots, but I couldn't beat the price on the Payless boots. Thanks for all the input.
