> I'm specifically looking for half calf platform boots with a zipper on the side, and they need to be available in size 12. Here's the Doc Martens boots that have those specs: https://www.drmartens.com/us/en/jadon-hi-smooth-leather-platform-boots/p/25565001

Yeah they have that model, you can see it on the UK site but it's sold out at the moment. Comes in shiny and matte leather. Send them an email if they plan on restocking them.

It's also right around 200GBP, which is near 200$.

But they're 200$ boots, not 500$ boots. Solovairs are better than modern Docs, but don't expect them to last forever. There are many legends about old Docs, and the Solovairs are very much like those, but they aren't indestructible (and never were).
