Chelsea boot recommendations

[Emistie_89]

Hi all,

As the title says I’m looking for some recommendations for a pair of Chelsea boots, nothing too big and cumbersome or with too much of a thick sole.

I thought I’d ask the good folks here as I’m sure most of you have better fashion sense than myself

RM Williams? Different variations to choose from. They are well made and last, but I find the soles can lack grip in the extreme wet.

We used to have 1/4 tips fitted in our heals bit of a late 70's fad but we liked it lol.

Tim we covered our shoes with studs and half round tips front and back .
Sliding down the school corridors got me the stick for ignoring head master a few times.
Was it worth it YES when you heard the noise and some sparks.

We wore clogs with irons on for that sort of enjoyment.

I already get some stick of my mates for one thing or another I don’t think they’d let me get away with clogs

I saw the R.M Williams and really liked them, they pricey but I don’t mind paying for something that will last. Thanks for the recommendation

Had a pair of timberlands for years, but we really don’t wear shoes in NZ, crocks or trainers in work.

I bought a pair of these at the Scottish Game Fair in 2020 - between the lock downs. They were expensive but I wear them a lot and they will last a long time.

Hoggs of Fife also make a good boot, cheaper but not as nice.

I had a pair of Doc Martens Chelsea boots, which lasted for years.

Loakes. Had a pair of RMs but didn’t get on with them - too tight across the front foot. Or if you have the cash you can get some churches.
