A few years back I bought a pair of these because I was commuting by bike through London and wanted something that could handle a bit of bad weather. Goretex lined, rugged looking. They've served me well but getting pretty tatty now. I want something new, and different, but similar.
I like the colour, but anything earthy is fine. I like that they're mid/hi style. I like waterproof but will go with just water resistant.
Anybody got any suggestions? I've seen some Vans and Etnies winterised which are an option.
I'd spend close to £100.

For my current boots I got a pair of Meindl boots, RRP £375, for £65.
They look brand new and are the most comfy boots I've ever had.
Obviously with surplus stuff the stock varies a lot, but it's definitely worth a look.

Really grippy soles too - they don't look it, but they're better than Vibram, especially on muddy slopes.
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
The newer version (upgrade) is called Quest 4 GTX but they may be above budget.

just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
PS @JAYJO
I won't be using these for cycle commuting, but the all-weather capability is a nice comfort to have. You're right though, military boots wouldn't be my choice.

Only downside I've found to date is that they seem to pick up stones and gravel in the grooves of the soles on every walk.
