That's a chukka/desert boot. Search for those types of boots online until you find one you like and fits your budget. There's tons to choose from. Eg: clarks, red wings, common projects, h by hudson, etc....

sorry to hijack, but I was about to start a thread figured I could piggy back on...

I'm in a front office job but occasionally have to walk through the warehouse to check things out, there are a lot of debris and gunk and my dress shoes are scuffing up pretty bad. Any recommendations on boots? It's a relax office and I wear jeans, dress shirt and sport coat to work.

okay I've found the Clark's desert boot

anyone know where I can find this locally? or would I have to ebay it?

ughk, I really want a resoleable shoe but dont wanna shell out more than 200

and I'm really jonesing for those Generic Surplus shoes I posted at the top

on top of that, I want to figure out what size would be best for me, but obviously cant try them on without finding them locally

honestly, i think clarks are a lot better looking than those shoes, and probably a lot better quality too. try them out locally. i think you will like them

you can grab them off amazon for like 80-100 a pair

Both look great. I'm leaning towards the wolverines as I have similar styled shoes as the Blundstone.

yes wolverines are a great shoe and will probably last you a long time!
