Simple, minimal, utilitarian black boots <$350 USD

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a pair of black boots that are basically the fall/winter equivalent of the birkenstock Arizona. Something simple and dynamic that is minimal by nature without being too sleek and overly designed. I like the idea of a slimmer or almond shaped toe and a boot I can drown with some wider or flared trousers. Open to a Chelsea or a derby (or something else if you can sway me). I would like a bit of traction (no leather or crepe sole) with a lower profile sole. I'm usually walking on sidewalks in New England and just need something decently competent for your average winter day, not heavy snow or ice. I would like to keep cost roughly under $350. Open to secondhand. If you are going to tell me that Clarks or some mall brand like that makes a boot that fits this description well I will still be a happy man. Some decent options from Solovair but maybe a bit luggier than I'm looking for. The Camille side zip boot by La Botte Gardiane (attached) is definitely my speed but probably more than I want to shell on a boot at the moment What options come to mind?
