Odd reverse Dupe question: Boots

44 replies

WhatAreYouOnAboutF · 04/11/2025 19:15

This is the reverse of the typical "can you find me a cheaper" dupe question. know its odd. Can anyone help me find a better quality/more expensive version of these boots?

https://www.mandmdirect.com/01/details/FQ30421

These turned up on an advert and I love them but they are £21 and synthentic. I prefer to spend more on shoes that I like because they last longer if you look after them so wouldn't normally buy shoes this cheap.

Has anyone seen anything similar that are leather/better quality please?

Deichmann boots are surpisingly good. I have two pair which I wear alongside boots and shoes from Dune, Pavers & Gucci!

Same! But one pair. They've lasted me about 3 winters of heavy wear and they were £17.50 (half regular price!) in a black Friday sale!

They're very similar to the Bottega boots someone was after in another thread 😅

Not leather - in that grey you will struggle as its a fabric effect

@KaliforniaDreamz , Lace-ups or pull-on?
First thought was Blundstone.
Brands like Sorel, Barbour, Timberland might have something.
(Mine are ancient, sheepskin lined and from Sorel)

(For proper hiking boots try outdoor shops - e.g.Cotswolds)

You probably should have started a thread.

Edited

But then we'd have two really dull threads running haha sorry OP xx
I'll get me coat.

UpMyself · 06/11/2025 11:58

@KaliforniaDreamz , there are plenty of other dull dog walking shoes/boots threads you could have bored yourself with.

Negroany · 06/11/2025 12:26

Helly Hanson and Sketchers do similar to those.

I've had a lot of luck recently putting pictures of things into ChatGPT and asking it to find me cheaper versions. It would do the reverse for you too. You can even put in your size so it only pulls through ones that have your size in stock.

KaliforniaDreamz · 06/11/2025 13:08

@UpMyself I was only gently teasing x

pontipinemum · 06/11/2025 14:25

I think I had something similar from hush puppy or rocket dog or somewhere like that!

MarxistMags · 06/11/2025 16:37

Hotter shoes. Cotton Traders.

Isometimeswonder · 06/11/2025 17:54

Try Rieker or Moda In Pelle

bubzie · 06/11/2025 20:45

I was walking past that Deichmans and saw various grey boots in the window today but not sure if buckles.

Jamandtoastfortea · 07/11/2025 17:33

Maybe Reiker or Gabor?

cloudrunner · 07/11/2025 18:09

These might not be quite what you meant - and they're a lot more expensive - but they are utterly brilliant, long-lasting winter boots; waterproof, comfortable, and very warm.

Have you tried asking chat GPT? This is the type of question it's great for.

Panama jack felia boots. Panama jack seem to be much better quality than Dr martens (made in China) they're made in Spain.
