I think Timberland Pros are kind of decent and fashionable.

On 5th November (in 4 days) Goral is supposed to release the rose anvil collaboration boot/sneaker. You can see an ad for it here at the start of the video. Looks pretty cool, and it'll have a true shearling leather inside (wool, like UGGs), and goral has some lifetime warranty and resole service too. Maybe worth checking out if you like them.

Personally, I recently a huge fan of Jim Green. You won't get better footwear for that price. Not sure if the have any extra warm boots/shoes though.

I own one pair of regular Timberland but unfortunately I can’t wear them multiple days in the row because they are so heavy (for me at least) but I still wear them during heavy snow.

I checked out Jim Green, looking great so far wonder if I can find them in the EU I will have to look into it.

Thank you!

I'm from EU too. I ordered directly from their south african website. The vellie shoes cost me ~110€ including postage and import tax. It's almost twice the cost they sell them for in South Africa, but it's still an awesome shoe for that cost. Moght be cheaper if you order multiple pairs (combined postage). I plan on ordering some african rangers if they have a black friday sale.

Good to know! 110€ is a good price for well made shoes so I’m not mad.
For how long have you had yours ?

Only about three weeks now.

Here they are.

I didn't think I'd like the leather look as much as I do! It's very dark blue, and the top layer is slightly sanded. They sand it to remove imperfections and the rough surface also just kind of soaks up any scratches, they're not visible. They are also quite comfortable to me, they're wider than most shoes are.

Also, if you check their youtube site, you can see how transparent they are with their manufacturing. Everything is handmade like it was in the past, you won't find EU made shoes like that unless they cost 3-4 times as much... I'm for sure getting the African Rangers on black friday, if they have a sale or not :)
