Exactly!! Well worth the money I paid for mine and I find that true for most things I pay a little extra for.

I've had Prince Jorge Markowski, Churchs, Cheaney and other Made in England but so far the best Chelsea boots in terms of fit and comfort are RM William's. Best looking are from England. Best comfort Strelyans.

Also found the matching belt on the Interwebs and that will arrive shortly. So excited to finally own a pair of R.M. Williams. Also recently bought a pair of Allen Edmonds Alpine lace to toe which I am wearing today. Super pleased with this pair as well. https://www.allenedmonds.com/shoes/m...le/SF2860.html |

As far as Allen Edmonds, I feel like I have been watching a slow motion plane crash with that company over the last 3-4 years. I have 8 pairs but nearly everyone was a pair bought at least five years ago. The last few times I have gone to my local store to find a specific need, I was disappointed in their lack of quality control. The more recent pairs have been moved on as the leather seems to be a much lower quality as of late. Yesterday, in fact, I went to look at the Liverpool chelsea in comparison to the RM williams and was appalled. The display had loose threads all over the gore seam. The first pair in my size had a welt that looked like it was chewed by a dog. The second looked like the upper had a roll or buckle on the inside edge. A few weeks earlier looking at the Carlylse and tried a pair with leather frighteningly mismatched. Damn sad as I love buying American but the recent examples of production are two or three notches below my older pieces.

This is the other pair I ordered. Wanted something in gray. Think these will work casual or for biz

I got the belt online in the UK. Tough to find that matching belt in my size anywhere. |

I just placed an order at bootsonline.com. They had a deal at $346 for the Comfort Craftsman and matching belt. Now to see how much in duties I get hit for.

I have 8 pairs of boots - 4 pairs of Alden, 3 in Shell (one Indy, one cap toe in cigar shell, and medallion Brixton x Epaulet in Colour 8), and an Indy 403(one of my favourites), and 4 pairs of Viberg, 2 service boots in Shell(Bourbon and Mahogany) , one servce boot in horsebutt and a Country Derby boot in waxed flesh (absolute Tanks!) - I'd sleep with the darn things on if I could. Treat them well, keep em clean and in some cedar shoe trees, and they'll last longer than most of us here. Every time I wear the Viberg boot, I feel like nothing could feel better on my feet, then I wear my Alden's, and think the same thing, until I put the Vibergs back on, rinse and repeat - for me, it's just these two brands that work, none of the others have punched my clock, to stiff, too big a toe box (the famous "clown shoe", or lack of support in the heel and arches). Really, really like the C&J boots, but they're just not my style, although when I see one that does, I'll most likely give it a try. |

Little update. Really like the 6 eye Alden Shell Chukka.
Honestly I was not impressed with Alden Loafer 986's on the Van last. Just never bonded with them and have only worn them a handful of times. So I somewhat avoided trying another pair of Aldens. The boots on the other hand I am really digging. They are on the Plaza last and it suits me much more both for fit and style. Out of the three pairs of boots I recently purchased I like these the best. Super comfortable and love the 6 eye style. Perfect dressed up or down. Will probably order another pair in black.

Sorry, we are all enabling addicts here. Just does not make sense to normal people.

Wearing my -100 Below Sorels today blowing snow. I've had them for 20 years, and they are very warm, though only to about -50 degrees F, not -100.
