What are some cool boots in the 250-300$ range? Need help finding ways to blow my tax returns

I think that some redwings GT or Iron Rangers would be a good choice. Maybe some Wolverine 1000 mile boots if they fall in that range.

I'm thinking about buying a pair of samurais. I'm looking at the s0500xx and the s710xx but I'm not sure which will fit me better.

I'm 5'7, 148lbs and my waist measures 29.5 in. I have pretty athletic/larger thighs measuring at 21.5 in, but a slim upper body which is what makes sizing for jeans a bit difficult. I'm looking for a slim fit, not too tight, not too loose.

Looking at BiG's sizing charts, the size 29 in the 0500xx is similar to the size 30 for s710xx except that it is 11.75in vs 12.25in in the thigh. I'm leaning a bit more towards the 710xx since based on pictures around the forum, I like the way it fades better. What do you guys think will be a better fit for me?

This is how a size 29 one month old pair of Levi 501 STFs fits on me. I'm not quite sure if I like the way this fits either. So I guess opinions on this too? Thanks
