Boots alternative

[Moonshine]

Red Wing 8100 series oxfords are a solid choice.  Also look at Oak Street Boot Makers.

What about a Clarks Desert Trek? I loved them when I was a kid, great shoe/ boot. Or something along the lines of a chukka or Monkey boot? Not too high.

I can recommend the Whites Oxford, superb comfort.

Red Wing chukkas spring to mind. Example:

But it's tough to try on a computer screen for size.  Not that I've been stopped by that in the past…;)

[Megatron1505]

There's so much sizing advice on various forums and boards that, if you do your research well, it's pretty hard (though not impossible) to size incorrectly.

I say do your research well, because some of the sizing advice can get pretty confusing  :-\

Quoddy do a few ankle boots, but they don't come cheap. I like the Tracker Boot, but they're not cheap. 

They have sizing info on their site.

Are those made for walking on rugs alone or?..

Shit lasts a long time Seul…..

Call me old fashion but I prefer a decent leather, wood and/ or rubber sole… They should call those the Ducky model...

[Giles]

Call me old fashioned, but I suspect native American Indians were walking on soles like this centuries before Europeans knew what a shoe was…..

[SpaceGnome]

Those have a leather sole. They also last forever

[nikokosim]

gonna have to go with seul for this one

[Megatron1505]

I'm on the fence with those, I appreciate the craft, the heritage, and the wear…..but I think they look like shit.

[Giles]

And that's on the fence?

[Megatron1505]

For me it is 

[SpaceGnome]

I kinda like them, although I don't see myself ever getting a pair.
