What about a Chukka boot? Clarks Desert Boots are a casual go to of mine for work. Not as formal as a Chelsea (in my opinion). Very versatile and pretty comfortable (the suede/crepe sole ones). Plus you can get them super cheap. I find Amazon returns for like $40 in my size all the time and just replace them once the sole is looking beat.
Nice heads up - these are classic and I had some Red Wing Chukkas but never wore em enough.
viberg slippers
These are pretty fresh - good heads up. May be a good alt for me. I love CP slips and would buy more if I could find. They stopped making leather ones. I have the perf leather ones and LOVE.
Those boots are a joke
try Grenson derbys. I’ve two pairs. The curt suede derby in maple suede and black suede.
with Chelsea’s you want a crepe sole if you find them too dressy. Cheaper alternative to CP (which are stupidly expensive for a non-Goodyear-welted shoe. Don’t buy them) are the crepe Chelsea’s from All Saints.
LOL - love the strong opinions haha. Yea - i'm into CP - just never found good options outside of the slips. I guess I don't love any raised heel. No idea why. Maybe the sneakerhead in me I suppose.
