Looking for a classic, brown, stout, leather winter shoe

[Fishfingersandwich707]

...that is is not a trainer or a jodhpur boot or a hiking boot...if such a thing still exists.

Slip on or lace up.

Something non fussy like Princess Anne would wear to walk her dogs in a town park in all weathers, but at least 50% cheaper! 😄 Perhaps something a little chunkier to suit a heavier frame but not super chunky.

Low heel but needs a slight wedge or to be slightly built up, not flat to the ground like a brogue as I have high arches.

Why are so many winter shoes made in suede or calfskin?
I live somewhere where it rains a lot!

I am in my late fifties and wear very classic slightly flared dark denim jeans so they would need to go with them. Want something I can polish and will last.

i would be very grateful for any advice or ideas please.

Strange, it did it again. Anyway, Hamble Oak brogues are the ones.

Have just come back to this thread after a busy few days at work and there are lots of new suggestions - thank you so much everyone.

I love the styles from Lanx and Grenson, particularly the bottle green brogues with thick soles. Unfortunately, nowadays, my foot is more comfortable in a bit of a wedge.

WrinklesShminkles thank you so much, the Menscha shoes you have linked to are spot on perfect and are exactly the shoes I had in mind!

And Solosunrise thank you for putting me on to the Hotter website. The ones you posted are not for me but I do like some others on there. I can’t seem to link them atm but will try again shortly!

EvilRingahBitch thanks, those Hamble Oak brogues are indeed lovely but worry about them in heavy rain.

No I have made a mistake, the shoes I like in Hotter are in fact a men’s style:

A shame because the women’s equivalent I don’t like as much.

I do like these but I am not sure about the oxblood colour:
