I've looked at loake, grenson etc., My ideal price range (perhaps unachievable) is about $150.

probably the cheapest option the AE Andover (cap-toe lace-up boot with commando sole and i think speed lacers) or the AE Compton in addition to the Brantley mentioned above - it can be had for less than $100 if you're lucky. I had it in both brown and black, but never like the way it fitted over my ankles, so i ended up flipping them on ebay.

the only problem is the supply - i don't think they've made these for some time. i bought mine back in 2002-2004, flipped them in 05 or 06.

There are a pair of 9D AE Brantleys on ebay right now. Tan. It's a captoe balmoral and not a blucher though.

old thread I know, but I didn't want to start another thread.

Any new alternatives out there, preferrably 200-300? Dark Burgandy

From the US.

There aren't many US stores with grenson, and the ones I saw that did carry them were charging 100 bucks more than pediwear. All in all, I think my girlfriend paid $251 shipped for the grensons from pediwear, and this included some waxes/polishes for the boots

do you have any pics of the boots? Im guessing its the Burgundy Burnished, how's the sizing compared to LL Beans or Clarks DB?
