I’ve been wearing Adtec Ladies lace up packer boots for quite a while. Comfortable for me and I added an instep orthotic. The heel is a bit higher than the Ariat & it’s angled, more cowboy boot & less of a walking or straight heel. Amazon has them as well as other sites when you google the name. Good luck and excited to have another Classic Cowgirl with us!!!
fyi you can find used ones sometimes in very good condition & much cheaper!
