I use to love Blundies, but when they went overseas their quality went to crap. Now I only wear Rossi boots.

I'm on the RM bandwagon as well. 2 pairs. Craftsman and Turnout. Lovely boots.

All depends on your budget. But if money is not an issue I would look at Gaziano and Girling, St Crispins, and if I'm not mistaken John Lobb as well. But these three are most certainly in a higher price range than RM Williams.

RM William without a doubt, excellent quality and they're one of the only Whole cut Chelsea Boots you can buy nowadays.

I am going to shot down here as an Australian, but I wear Church's boots, only because I wear all their shoes as well....

Allen Edmonds Liverpool. I have the walnut Chelseas and they're beautiful. They're on the sleeker side, but I prefer that. They're soft and broken in out of the box. Hand made in America.

Hi Neef,

Your uncle also recommends RM Williams but with the obligatory whip and a Ducati logo.

Hope you are all well.

Do you two have room in your club/boat for one more? If so, then count me in!

Im all about the RMW's, but like the aesthetic of the Saint Laurent, Common Project, Bottega and Lobbs (no affiliation with MR P, but good reference)

I had to google what a Chelsea boot is. Not a real need for boots here in Florida except on my motorcycle.
