That's looks to be a Le Chameau boot (leather lined). This poll might also be leaving out Aigle boots.

In my opinion, there is no way any person wearing a suit can wear the LL Bean or Sorel boot (perhaps to work on a rainy day) without looking terrible.

Aigle Boots (for those afraid of their masculinity being questioned if they wear Hunter):

Tough to beat the Bean Boots, IMO.

Best to get galoshes.

Aigle Boots all the way.

Le Chameau - no comparison.

The leather lining in the Chasseur boot is nice to have, but $400 is quite a lot for something you won't wear often and is made to get dirty.

Where can you get leather lined Le Chameau's for $400?

The Bean boot is a lot lighter in weight than the Sorel.

Bean 10" for the muck and Tingleys for the lighter days.
Sorel is good for arctic-type snow but I prefer Bean for pretty much all else.
