Frye Boot alternatives?

[jandrzejewski]

Hello,

This is my first post to superfuture.

Does anyone know of any brands other

than Frye that make attractive and high

quality boots?

I like the style and construction

of the one pictured above,

(Women's Harness 12R, $220)

but I want something a little

different. I don't want to spend too

much more that $250.

It would be cool if I could find a

ranch or something that makes the

"real deal" version of these boots.

In black. Brass fixtures, no tooling,

minimal leather work.

Thank You!
