@Geo:

I've got this one

Geo, they look awesome. Any chance of a picture of yours?

Geo

here you go

the leather is heavily waxed - so can make the boot colour vary a lot with temperature, but they need a bit of TLC too

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Some cool suggestions that I'll check out.

Geo, those look great. Do put up some pics if you decide to give them a once over.

Cap toe boot recommendations? I'm looking at C&J Coniston and similar. Thanks.

Not quite the same thing, as they're more overtly 'rugged' or military looking, but I like these:

I have the shoe version, they are a wide fit and very comfy and bullet proof, excellent build, I would suggest going for a smooth sole and not the commando as it is slippery on pavements in winter (although probably very good on a grassy hill) but I'd then wear a different boot for that.

my timberland chelsea boots are getting pretty worn out and im sorta looking for a new chelsea boot. i had blundstones forever but they arent waterproof. i'm looking for a waterproof chelsea boot with a somewhat aggressive tread. any suggestions?

Geo

didn't the elastic side gusset leak a bit on your timberlands RB?

think that would normally be the problem area . . .

anyway this type of thing?

i didnt have problems with leaking because i never really submerged them completely. its more just a day to day sorta boot for me.

basically i just wish blundstones were waterproof haha.

i've eyed those rm williams boots before but i want something that i dont care about absolutely destroying.

Geo

totally see where you're coming from - blundstones are pretty good tho'

need to think about this a bit

My favorite among my Aldens is the LeatherSoul Jumper Cordovan Boots.
Absolute Heaven for my feet.

I was about to throw these Loakes away, the soles and heels had worn out and they're not of sufficient quality to have rebuilt. As a last minute reprieve I've had these logger soles stuck on to turn them in to a country shoe. I'm not sure whether it works or not?

Good for rainy days, this Frankenstein!..

I think would look a lot better if you stained the welt and heel leather….........

Never had much of a problem with Blunnies leaking, at least no more than any other normal leather boot. Regular polish or treatment with some kind of beeswax proofing and mine are great in the wet. I like the 550's though, they have a less absorbent finish.
