suggestions for a dark red/russet boot?

I'm looking for a rugged high-top leather boot in a nice dark red, like the black cherry GTs, for under $250. Problem is I just bought a pair of black Red Wing GTs, and want a little variety in my wardrobe. These would mainly be worn with casual garb, tapered dark jeans/Khakis and maybe a slim two-button blazer.

So far I'm looking at...


James 8 Eye Boot - Yeah I know, Dr. Martens. Much cheaper build, and they also are quite similar to the GTs, and of course identifiable as Dr. Martens.


Thorogood for Epaulet Horsehide Work Boot - a little pricier, but I like the style more.


Boss Armin II - don't know anything about it, just found it in a google search. Haven't been considering it for the last week, when I've been going back between the above two...

Are there any I should consider?

I'd sell the black GT's, buy the black cherries and then look for another black boot. The black cherry is amazing in person; the black is pretty meh.

Sell the blacks, save some more, then kop the Indy boot in #8.

Thanks guys! I'll have to see if I like the black GTs when they arrive tomorrow. They were $150 new in box (I assume older style before the prices went up) through Amazon warehouse, so I could probably pass them on for about that much. They have a pair of cherries in my size, but unfortunately they are about $210, so not quite the same steal.

I know you mentioned a budget of $250, but I would HIGHLY suggest the Wolverine 1000 Mile boot in rust.

It runs in the $300 range, but it's well worth it in my opinion. It also fits perfectly into the aesthetic you seem to be looking for.

They can also be had for cheaper if you're patient, I picked up mine for $260 on sale.

Personally, I'd pay more than $60> the blacks for the cherry.

Nice recommendation on the 1000 mile boots. Unfortunately I'm a little larger than the one for sale!
