I'm looking for a pair of slip-on boots that will shine up enough to look fairly dressy. Chinos and a button-down shirt is about as dressy as I get any more. Black, 8" or less. Side zipper considered. Cowboy boots are a non-starter. Can't find anything at Amazon, LLBean or local shoe stores. Suggestions? Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | ||

might be too dressy but technically dress shoes have laces. there are plenty of cheaper brands that look similar for 50 bucks or so. Allen Edmonds Boots What man is a man that does not make the world better. -Balian of Ibelin Only boring people get bored. - Ruth Burke | |||

Found this on hobbs.com--- in U.K. but ship worldwide. "Our glossy leather boots have a bold glamor that reflects their military heritage. Inspired by a smart pair of pigskin boots held in the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection, they'll add perfect polish to any look. These boots were handmade at Hobbs shoe factory in Italy using the finest Spazzolato leather. Featuring an inside zip and stitched rands, these luxury wellingtons are a timeless wardrobe investment. It should be noted that this leather is not waterproof. You've got to know what to do when you don't know what to do. | |||

I've worn Florsheim for decades. Love them. Like this: http://www.zappos.com/p/florsh...uj5:20170502205524:s God's mercy: NOT getting what we deserve! God's grace: Getting what we DON'T deserve!

I'm lookin' too. Local mil-surplus place had black Czech republic used Jackboots for $19.99. They looked great, but the fit was less than pleasant (for me). Even well worn, they were just too stiff. My take away was that I'd need to try them beforehand, it's not something to mail-order. | |||

There ya go! For a minute there I was thinking I was even more of a hayseed than I realized. $400+ for a pair of ugly shoes? Really? Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

Fer Shure. Given that I vary as much as a size-and-a-half and a full width depending on brand and style, on-line is not an option. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

Are Herman Santa Rosa boots still available? I have owned a pair of those since the '80s and they are still in good condition. ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||

Huge fan of Ariats for years. Worn out more than a couple pairs of Cascade lacers. Wear pull ons at work or roper style. Not exactly sure what is a Wellington style anymore, roper style I guess, with a lower heel... | |||

Blundstones. Australian sizing so zappos might be the way to go with free shipping if they are the wrong size. I have two pair, I love them. | |||

Not sure what Wellington style boots are, but I have some RM Williams paddock boots which are decent | |||

Nice thing about Zappo's, they ship them free to you. If they don't fit you can ship them back to them free. They will send you another size to try, shipping still free. My wife sometimes orders 3 or 4 pairs at a time. Tries them all on, keeps whatever she likes and sends the rest back. God's mercy: NOT getting what we deserve!

Ropers? These aren't cowboy boots to me, and seem to be exactly what you describe - dressy Wellingtons. Here are Lucchese, but there are other brands. https://www.lucchese.com/shop/mens/boots/roper/ The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Black Justin Ropers are about as classic as it gets. I like bootbay.com I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

Uh, nope. On my planet, those are western/cowboy boots. Not to mention out of my price range by a factor of 3 or so. The Florsheims posted by Yellow Jacket are pretty much exactly what I'm looking for, but they're out of my size according to their website. Be careful when following the masses.
