I’m looking for some boots that are available in the UK, with a similar aesthetic to the standard 6” Timbaland leather ankle boot, but not rubbish. Suitable for wide toes would be a massive bonus, as would available to try on in a shop outside of London.

Having had two pairs of tims just plain fall apart on me, I’m really looking for a plain simple leather ankle boot with a softened top for day to day wear. I live in the countryside so I want them to be actual functional boots, not just a fashion statement.

    IMO, no shoe is truly BIFL if you wear them regularly, especially anything that’s going to get put to serious use and abuse.

    I think it’s at least possible in a Ship of Theseus sense, if you want to have a cobbler keep replacing individual parts.

    I doubt that it’d be economical.
