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.

    Grenson, the Radley WP boots look great and are basically what everyone wishes the Timberlands still are.

    There is a guy on YouTube who cuts boots in half, (Rose Anvil) a good option for research. I think I heard about Grensons from him.

    Edit: I’ve just seen Trickers do boots, if you are near Northampton that may be a good option although they are expensive, they will list your lifetime and your children’s. I’m still wearing my Trickers Oxfords I bought 25 years ago.
