Reply to comment by Muncie4 in Warm ankle boots recommendation by Yuuka7

Let’s say less than 400 if I’m going to get 5-7+ years out of them.

Haha yeah north as in Iceland is what I meant. Where it can be light snow in the end of May and as early as end of September.

I’m looking at Chelsea boots mainly so something to wear between sneakers and heavy snow boots. Warm but still light and comfy.

I have heard good things about Blundstone and owned pair of Birkenstock sandals that lasted 8 years which is pretty decent. Other than that I’m pretty lost

Then you should take to Google. Chelseas are super popular and come in a wide variety of heights and styles so I cannot be super specific but offer this advice to cover your searches:

  1. Goodyear welt is what to look for. Don't see the words? Pass. Know that some brands can/do offer 2 Chelseas that are goodyear and 2 that are not, so don't close your browser after looking at one pair and getting discouraged.
  2. Look to gortex, fleece, flannelor fur for warmth as its easy to skip over when you are excited.
  3. Thursday, Frye and Carmina are some other brands to look at and maybe trickers.com if you wanna flex your budget.
