I finally got round to buying someLanx "Garstang" Chelsea boots in "caramel" colour.
Beautiful pair of daisies.
If I didn't have more boots than I need, I'd be very tempted to make a short journey to their shop.
I got some Lanx Dutton for Christmas. Lovely looking things.
This thread reminded me I've only worn them once for work but I still have the scars from the blisters on my heels. I really need to break them in.
I revisited this thread as have been looking at a new pair of boots. Small PSA if you have size 8 or 8.5 feet like me (there’s also 6 of you have tiny feet). Grenson Bill boots with 60% off.
Thursday Boots Captain. They do a normal, heritage, and rugged & resilient version. Oh and Stormking. Lovely boots. I have the heritage as they are slightly more rounded at the toebox, not as pointy (which looks odd with "athletic" legs and size 13 feet!)
I recently needed a new set of boots for work. Nothing too 'military' and bulky, something comfortable and casual looking. I settled for a pair of Clarks solsbury chukka boots.
They do the job quite cheaply.
Good shout e-machine. Quick Google shows they're on sale here so I've just got a pair for 48 quid. (were $260)
Thats a better price than I had - well done you!
Yeah the "was $260" could well have been a price they ran pre sale to make the sale look more enticing - but stuff is generally silly priced here. (Was toying with a Leatherman Arc but they're $600!!)
Still.... new boots on the way. Cheers for the suggestion.
regarding new boots. i am just about to buy a pair of these.

Thursday boots are really good. You can usually find them on UK Amazon to save shipping/import fees.
Actually they change their prices on their site quite often and they're cheaper than Amazon and factor in shipping and import fees.
I was "THIS" close to ordering a pair of Captain's from Amazon a few weeks back but they were $50 cheaper direct from their site. Worth keeping an eye on!
The Clark's Solsbury arrived yesterday though. A little miffed as the box said UK 12 (G) which I believe is wider fitting (but the box said US 13 (M). Initially I was annoyed but with a decent pair of socks and some slighlty thicker insoles they are bob on. (And on my feet right now at work).
Not read the whole thread, so they might have come up, or not, as they are percieved to be over priced and not as good as bitd.
I picked up a pair Dr Martens chelsea boots in Burgundy the other week for £95 which I was well pleased with even if they're not as good as they once were...
Lots of sizes. https://www.drmartens.com/uk/en_gb/2976-yellow-stitch-burgundy-smooth-leather-chelsea-boots-burgundy/p/27280626
