Midrange Rubber-soled Balmoral Boot

[archetypal_yuppie]

I'd like to get some decent rubber soled boots for rainy days. Balmoral is preferable (for wearing with suits).

Does anyone make these (Trickers/Loake/Paraboot, etc)?

I know you can get the rubber soled boots from EG like the shannon, but I'm not eager to spend $1500 on a rain shoe.

Rider Boots. Maybe Alfred Sargent.

^ I'm pretty sure these do not meet the qualifications I stated. $1000 is not how I describe midrange.

Interested in this too. For those snowy day. And yes, being balmorals is a plus. Have never found any balmorals in this range.

C&J Snowdon is a good option. I bought a pair from BB that was similar but is no longer showing up on the site.

$1000 is mid-range for balmoral boots

What's your budget? If you get them in calf, they'll be less than $1000.

The only Rider Boot Balmorals I found is this

which is cordovan and runs at $1100.

Something <$500? No?

there is no such thing as a mid-priced balmoral, available new. There are barely any balmoral boots, period.

your best bet is to wait for the new AE line to come out. It is not rubber soled

You can do a special order w/ Ron for the same boot in calf leather.

He made a calf version for $725. I'd send him a PM and see what he has.

That's what i was going to say. It doesn't come rubber soled but you can get it custom made. At $525 for shell plus a $125 make-up fee, it will still be well under $1000.

Can I have some more details (pic if available), if this new AE line? I know that they have a new line coming out soon but don't recall to have any balmoral boots...

Wait, you think people will look askance at patch pockets and chukkas but you want to buy a pair of balmoral boots?
