Ah well... I'm up for something new.

Wear them with pants. Other than that, go crazy.

These are an awesome boot. The pics don't do justice

I bought a pair from Tom at Leather Soul when he carried them and have been very happy with them.

I was looking at something semi-dress. The main boots I'm interested in is the Red Wing GT, Alden Indy, or White's SD.
So here is where my concern is, I'm tall-ish (5,11) and pretty skinny (140) and most of my jeans and clothes are pretty slim (APC NS, Skull 5010, Flathead 3001) so without trying the shoes on I have no idea how my silhouette will look like.
I'm not exactly stuck on semi-dress either, I'm willing to look into other styles of boot if you think they might look good!
I usually dress pretty casual, jeans, chucks, a nice button down or some layers (knits, pullovers, hoodies)

Can anyone recommend me anything or give me any advice?

Hey I think you can find the Red wing GTs at a toronto store called get outisde. I believe there are two locations. The GTs are fairly bulky shoes for semi-dress, but they're pretty good for stomping in the fall. As an alternative, take a look at some Grenson boots, I think they're priced similarly and I've liked the looks of some of them.

You probably need a 9.5, but potentially a 9. Mine are a size 9, but I'm pretty sure I could have (and maybe should have) gone down to a 8.5.

I don't have vans bit if you're talking about the Katahdin boots, I went with my dress shoe/Purcell size and they worked out perfect.

Does anyone know how Margiela dress shoes fit? I'm generally a 12 in other brands and I've spotted a 45 online that looks appealing.

I own GTs, various English boots, and have owned aldens.

If i were starting over I would get White's SD, they fit true to size

Thanks for the input guys. I went to get outside and tried on the GTs. I fell in love almost instantly and would have bought them on the spot if they weren't asking almost $400 for them.
Here are shitty iphone pics at the shoe store.
Jeans are Flathead 3001

Those sorel boots in the background look solid. I think i may pick up a pair for bad snow. Will look decent tucked with grey and black jeans and outerwear. As decent as i can wearing techincal snow stuff. Anyone know the cheapest place of to get them or is zappos my best bet? Maybe how they run sizing wise?
