Chelsea-style Ankle Boots: Red Wing, Wolverine?

I am looking for slip-on style boots that are going to be able to put up with some abuse but still look good. I work in a business that has me walking through residential construction sites often, so I don't want something that I have to be concerned about getting destroyed, but I also don't want the typical Georgia Boot "Romeo" look. Rubber soles are an absolute must.

They need to be slip-on because when I am not in homes that are in some stage of construction, I am in a home that is a high-end residence, and part of what differentiates me from my competitors is taking off my shoes at the front door to show respect for the client's home. Tying and untying seems absurd to me.

I have found the Red Wing Chelsea Rancher and the Wolverine 1000 Mile Montague. Any input (and pictures) on either of those two styles would be very appreciated, as well as any other recommendations for something of similar quality and style.
