This wouldn't be such a problem if I didn't want them to also look good. And be black.

I've had a little luck with Red Wing (they have at least one pair that looks decent):

But I cannot believe that the construction would compare with this:

RM Williams has a composite toe boot, which I'm seriously considering:

And then there's always this one, but it was recommended against:

I've looked at Rossi's, as well, but the sole just screams "work boot". If they're highly recommended though, I'll consider. I'm leaning heavily towards the RM Williams Kelly or the Red Wing. The former seems like it's a better boot, but the Red Wing is much easier for me to find, particularly in the color I want. I'm a little worried about sizing issues online, too.
