      What about a Clarks Desert Trek? I loved them when I was a kid, great shoe/ boot. Or something along the lines of a chukka or Monkey boot? Not too high.

      I can recommend the Whites Oxford, superb comfort.

                  But it's tough to try on a computer screen for size.  Not that I've been stopped by that in the past…;)

                    There's so much sizing advice on various forums and boards that, if you do your research well, it's pretty hard (though not impossible) to size incorrectly.

                    I say do your research well, because some of the sizing advice can get pretty confusing  :-\

                      Quoddy do a few ankle boots, but they don't come cheap. I like the Tracker Boot, but they're not cheap.  😞

                      They have sizing info on their site.

                            Call me old fashion but I prefer a decent leather, wood and/ or rubber sole… They should call those the Ducky model...

                              Call me old fashioned, but I suspect native American Indians were walking on soles like this centuries before Europeans knew what a shoe was…..

                                Those have a leather sole. They also last forever

                                    I'm on the fence with those, I appreciate the craft, the heritage, and the wear…..but I think they look like shit.

                                          I kinda like them, although I don't see myself ever getting a pair.
