Thanks! I appreciate the information! Really liking these boots so far!
need some shoe help...
I'm looking for a
1)dressy-ish
2) preferably slip-on
3) with relatively wide toe-box
4) in brown leather.
Yes, I know that's all very specific. If I had to sacrifice one of those criteria, it'd be the slip-on aspect, but I'd really prefer to have them slip on/loafer style.
I'm currently wearing something similar to this, and I hate it. The only pro of the thing is the fact that it's a slip-on. The look is way too corrective-shoe, and too casual, for what I'd like. I've tried other Cole Haans and just found them all too damn narrow to the point of painful.
Price range?
I almost don't care at this point, but something sub-$200 would be good, sub-$150 would be ideal. While I'm in "management" it is a construction company and there may be situations where they get more aggresively damaged/worn and I'd prefer not to have to keep dropping $200 a few times a year. I have boots for when I *know* I need them, but sometimes shit happens in this business.
I recommend LEMS nine2fives. They aren’t slip-on, but I think would fit your other requirements.

Made in Australia and hits your pricepoint. These are a direct competitor for Blundstones who have since moved "offshore"

Keen is brand often recommended for those wanting a wide toe box

Multiple slip on styles in the sub 200 space. many styles avail in wide sizes which would presumably address the toe box issue.

PS-what size/width is in play?
The actual Blundstones look pretty good. Prices seem to be between 190 and 225. I have these:

They are my "business trip to the PNW" boots during non-summer trips.
My newest Christmas present was a pair of these, which are even dressier:

But they run around $500.
Edited to add: not sure how I ended up with multiple pics; doesn't seem to be a way to delete.
