[QUOTE="C-Note, post: 1428082, member: 9873"] An up and coming shoe and boot company in the US is called Grant Stone. I haven't bought a pair from them, so don't have any personal experience, but the Dappered blog that someone mentioned in an earlier post loves them. I also recommend Blundstone, which I believe is an Australian company. They sell slip-on, waterproof boots that you can either buy with thick soles to look more rugged, or thinner soles to look more dressy. Unfortunately, Blundstones have recently become popular with the gay community in the US, so that may drive the prices up and ruin their reputation with the rugged crowd. I take my shoes off when I enter my house, so having slip-on boots is more convenient for me than lace-ups. A shoe company that I've been wanting to try for a long time is called Cobbler Union: [URL]https://www.cobbler-union.com/[/URL] . It appears that their shoes are Alden-level quality at Alan Edmonds-level prices. One of the best places to get good shoes on steep discount, besides buying slightly used, is in Nordstrom's semi-annual sales if you live in the US. [/QUOTE]
