Good chelsea boots brand

What are you guys favourite boots brand? Mostly for chelsea boots but even laced boots and western boots too. I'm looking to pick up a new pair and while I got a lot of wear out of them, my Hugo Boss boots didn't scream high quality to me. I most recently ordered a pair of Loake online but while kinda chunky in a good way, my pinky toes were crushed and it was really difficult to get into them, which kinda defeats the purpose of chelsea boots for me but I'm happy to hear any of your recommendations of not too slim brands. RM Williams also didn't work for me. Not budget in particular but €80 boots that will fall apart after a week is out of the question. I don't mind splurging but €300-700 seems reasonable.

What didn’t you like about RMW? They make some of the best imo and have a ton of styles and lasts and leathers

It's the fit and shape of the shoe I'm sure they are super sturdy On a side note, right now I am looking for a pair with rubber soles but I also didn't want to write that to limit myself from discovering new cool brands 😄

Curious what you tried on bc like I said they have a very wide range of shapes and styles. Blundstones are a favorite but seems like you want a sleeker style. Meermin has good options for fairly cheap. Take a peek at what Skoaktie Bolaget has

Cheers and yes, I'm definitely more into a sleeker style

Check out Fugashin if you want a sleeker Chelsea

Most EU brands like Saint Crispin’s, Enzo Bonafé, JM Weston, Carmina, etc are going to have sleeker styles

RMW worked for me with an insole, consider that as an option

Tlb Mallorca if you need a nice Chelsea just in wider widths

Those look really nice actually, thank you! Do you own a pair yourself?

They are worth their money. I had a pair but decided to go with my Italian shoemaker instead, maybe I'll show them off once they are finished.
