Help me find my perfect biker boots!

Several years ago I bought a pair of Rocket Dog Nokout biker boots (see pic). They were sturdy oiled leather and withstood three years of resoling and reheeling (the cobbler actually commented that they were great quality)

Sadly last year they died irreparably and I had to bin them. Even sadder, Rocket Dog don't make them any more (although did have a suede version called Knockout, but I don't want suede).

I've got various saved searches on my eBay alerts but never struck lucky. Can you help me find worthy replacements? They need to be leather, black, very chunky sole and heel and mid calf (rather than ankle). Preferably silver hardware. I'm a size 8 and my budget is ideally around £100 although could stretch to a little more if they were top notch quality. I like this exact style (classic biker) and don't like zips on outside of leg or doing weird twisty things, or tassels or studs etc.

Many thanks 😊

Dolly you can definitely get decent ones second hand, so do try that! They last forever. I've had mine for a decade and they are still in excellent condition!

Oops, missed the update! That's great - you'll love them!

Thanks Lily I'm very excited indeed. I would never have thought to look on eBay if you hadn't reminded me about them 😊
