Hello I am new to this forum, so I hope I am not repeating any previous threads.

Does anyone know where I can buy good quality ideally semi-brogue chelsea/dealer boots (would consider full brogue) in brown/tan etc

I am looking for good quality with leather soles and would love to get them in a sale obviously etc.

I know that RM Williams, Trickers etc have good boots (I have some on order as we speak) but I am struggling to find decent semi or full brogue ones. Any help, advice etc would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Simon, but could not really see anything except the Henry jodhpur on ebay with the rubber sole ?

There is also a waxed dealer boot with a rubber sole in the Shipton and Heneage clearance sale section.

Also available, but not made in England (important to me but may not be to you):

Chris,

Yes it does help. I did look at this site the other day, however, my real preference is for a semi-brogue and the only one there is the Sanders Carnaby in black - I want a lightish brown or tan. In addition not sure how good the Sanders boots are !

I read a post the other day from someone working in one of the Northamption factories and they stated (in order of quality)

Edward Green/John Lobb - Top Grade
Crokett & Jones/Trickers/Church's/Cheaney - Mid Grade
Loake/Grenson/Sanders - Lower Grade

I have just ordered RM Williams Craftsman in Chestnut Kangaroo & Trickers Lambourn in Black, so would like to keep to the similar standard. I have had Loakes etc in the past and they do not last.

Anybody got any more ideas for me please !

I have another suggestion - its a Church's boot called "Meddon" - it is made in black, brown, tabacco, and walnut. It is a semi-brogue chelsea boot. It is made on their modern looking 108 last which fits a bit slimmer than their normal range. It comes with a choice of either rubber or leather soles.

Soleys ( see above) sell it on rubber sole but will order anything for you - or you could contact Herrings or Church's factory shop - might even have one in a second for you - had my size in brown last year as a second. Factory shop sells perfects too of course.

Thanks for the idea, not sure it is a semi-brogue ?, I was thinking of a semi-brogue having no punch holes on the toe, maybe I am wrong, however I would prefer that there was not any.

I was considering the BB Peel & CO (C & J - I believe) boot in their clearance sale but my size was sold last week !, should have moved quicker, that is suede and leather, and is the style (semi-brogue) I am after.

Thanks anyway - any other suggestions ? please
