I'm very happy to see someone seriously talk about boot buying. First of all it is definitely worthwhile taking time on this and have criteria. Then if you can't meet all the criteria, try for as many as possible. Here are mine:

1. Made in Italy

2. Be able to put them on. Seriously, some woman's boots are way too hard to put on and take off.

3. They MUST be cobbleable. This means that a shoemaker can put on a new heel if needed.

4. Can you walk as far as you need to wearing them. ? You won't know right away, but if they hurt in the store, they will still hurt after you leave.
