Ive never owned a pair of boots and I dont even know how to pick them out. I was hoping someone could give me quick advice and also rate these. I need soemthing dark brown to match my belt and no black.

Those are ok for inexpensive chelsea boots. I doubt they'd hold up to a couple years of wear, but at $165... what do you really expect. You can prob. get them cheaper on Zappos or Amazon.

I'm looking for a pair of boots similar style to these by Visvim but not $1000, any ideas?

Red Wing Moc toe are somewhat similar but have the Moc toe...

Thursday maybe but I think they kinda look like shit/2012 Ryan Gosling-core. It's hard to find cheaper boots with dressy soles because dressy soles (i.e. probably leather) are way more expensive than chunky rubber. You can probably find some red wings or wolverines for $200-$250 if you look around a little though, or you could get Wolverine kilometer boots which have the same silhouette but way shittier materials and construction for less than $200 MSRP.

I should also note when I say similar I just mean the style. The material/color could be different, I'm basically looking for a wedge toe boot with a standard toe

They make the "Rover" but that sole is too flat and soft to me. I wish they had more traction/treads, not heavy like Vibram roughneck style but the Rover almost looks like a dress boot

What about Original 2976? I'm considering copping a pair.

Does it have that plasticy shine, not as shiny as patent leather, but shinier than normal calf for example. Some of them use greased leather with matte finish. Solocair only has these corrected grain and greasy leathers.
