Lurk moar. Kenneth Cole is universally trashed on this site as the opposite of what to buy.

Trendy styles, made with cheap materials and poorly constructed.

Also, if that style of shoe is what you're going for, posting them on the Streetwear and Denim board might elicit some better alternatives.

Most of the threads on the Mens Clothing forum discuss much more dressy clothing (suits, dress shirts, sportcoats, ties, etc.) than the style of shoe you're looking at.

Those on the Streetwear and Denim thread can likely point you in the right direction. Since you're on a budget, if you don't mind buying lightly used, you might check the Streetwear and Denim buying and selling forum.
 

Thanks SF (a new me)

My friend, I have two suggestions.

1. Herring Shoes, as above. I have bought pairs and pairs of these shoes and boots; with a good cobbler, they will last you for years and are well worth the investment. Many of them are made by Loake and tarted up by Herring; the result is quality, and the leather used is tough, of a high grade, and wears very nicely. You should look at the link the fellow above posted; also, they often have some very good deals in their clearance section and the occasional sale.

2. If you are an American, you may want to invest in a pair of Wolverine 1000 Mile boots.Check them out here. I have it on good authority that they 'kick ass' and the selection on their site is superb.

If you're going to buy fake hunting boots, don't bother.
Buy real hunting boots. Not much more. For example:
