Walking through Wally World years ago, saw a great looking black pair of cowboy boots, they were on top of a stack of similar boots in looks, checking further, they were Dan Post, in a $29.95 cheap boot box, appearing unused. Checked with the clerk, apparently they were a return, but were unused and put back on the shelf. They said if I wanted them it was fine with them, no one had any idea why they would be in that box. I did buy them, months later was in a western wear store and saw Dan Post identical boots...for $299.95. I wore mine until my feet got bigger, put them in the closet, when my son was 18, he ran across them there, cleaned and treated them, now he's 25 they're his favorite pair. Still have no idea why someone would return boots that way, just enjoyed them for years.

The only thing about buying used is that shipping usually adds up quickly.

also some companies do outlet shops that offer discounted "defect" products. Like tecovas did one and most of the defects were ones that were returned due to size or the chord was off center so they couldn't sell them as new or up to their standard so they sold them at a discount at this pop up outlet shop. I got one of their discontinued 5 year anniversary birthday boots for like 500 and some change, just gotta look for the deals

It's true, most brands are different. What I did was I bought my first few pairs from a local store where I was able to try on a bunch of different stuff. I learned what I liked and that gave me a better idea of what would work when buying online. So my best recommendation is to try a lot of different brands
