I'm sure you've searched the archives and heard everything everyone has to say about boots, including how RM Williams are awesome, how pre-distressed boots are frowned upon, and the questionable quality of those brands, so I have only one thing to add: don't wear them every day, they need to rest!

I personally wear the Frye Harness Boot and I can attest to their comfort and classic look. Out of the ones you posted, I think the best looking boot is the Gordon Rush.

I think those are ok for < $150. I prefer them to the CTs...

what about clarks classic chukka boot in leather not suede. only problem with the boot is it's kinda slick during the winter season.

If you want something comfortable in a Chelsea style for cheap, Blundstones might be worth checking out. I just bought a pair this week, and already walked at least 15 km in them - extremely comfortable (probably the comfiest footware I own), and probably can be had for under $150 in the US. The leather is very tough, and they are made in Australia.

I would have thought with the $US depreciating against the $AU, you guys would be paying a lot more than that. Good price

How's the sizing on Blundstones?

I'm a size 10 to 10.5 usually. I'm 9.5 in Chucks, and take a 9 comfortably in the Blundstones. I could have sized down to an 8.5, but I needed the extra room for thick socks. With thin dress socks, I use the extra set of insoles and the fit is perfect.

Wait. Confusing. 9US or 9AU? Is it basically AU + 1 = US, like most UK sizes?

I think you're correct. My box says 9. Unfortunately, since I don't have the box with me right now, I'm assuming it's 9AU, so 10US.
