Tracking down a pair of chelsea boots that look like this

I was browsing a nordstrom rack and came across this pair of chelsea boots from steve madden. I like the brown sole contrasting with the black. I was tempted to get them but I was wondering if there are “better” offerings for this type of boot. I’m not the best when it comes to knowing which are the best brands for boots and particular kinds of boots beyond redwings for hertiage wear, doc martens vs solovair, and blundstones for chelseas. Something about Thursday boots being meh as well or something idk. Either way, recommendations would be great for this particular style!
