    Smart boots for work

    So I always agonise and procrastinate over smart boots for work. Anyone have any recommendations?

    RM Williams for me, probably the most comfortable shoes/boots I have and even after 10 years of regular wear for one pair, still fine for work and come up close to new with a good clean and polish.

    Might be why I now have 6 pairs...

    Thursday Boots. I have a pair of Captains.

    They're probably the best value boots around. Have a look at the online reviews.

    Thursday boots are lovely, but unavailable in UK.

    Loake and Herring in the UK are safe bets.

    Thurday Boots are available on Amazon UK.
    I bought mine cheaper direct from the US, though it would be a pain if they didn't fit.

    Are they that much more comfortable or convenient than loafers?

    Bought some Red Wing rigger boots whilst in States, lovely boot and even great for everyday pottering about the garden etc. Always had Jallatte riggers but last 2 pairs have been poor experience with sole coming apart from fairly new so maybe not the quality of old

    It will depend on your budget. I have two pairs of Loakes boots, one black and one tan brogue and they have seen me through every possible work scenario.

    RM Williams, not the cheapest but smart, hard wearing & repairable if need be. I've still got a pair from 2004.

    This. I can’t remember the last time I wore shoes with a suit. Extremely comfortable too.

    400 puts you into C&J. If going lower maybe Grenson?
