Well, I'm getting ready to buy new ones too. My favorite pair were the ones made by mountain horse, I don't know where they were made, but they have lasted me over 6 years. They are finally falling apart. My problem is I where riding shoes (state line tack shoes) and my new ones I ordered didn't fit around the bottom of the shoe. I tried Dublin (cheap, cheap cheap!!! Made in India!) and I reordered the Mtn. horse, they have since changed the design, they are now too tall and too tight around the calf. So, it looks like I will be taking my old ones to a saddlemaker/leatherworker and having new ones made for me. I want zippers (velcro gets stuff in it!) and I want the gussets in the calves. Is that too much to ask? :)
