My shoe collection desperately needs a good pair of suede boots. Give me some suggestions /fa/. My price range is around $500 but I can be flexible if it means noticeably better quality.

I don’t like the chunkiness of military boots, so I’m looking for a slim silhouette.

Are Chelsea boots a meme? These Common Projects boots catch my eye, but I’m open to suggestions. What’s the best quality boot I’m going to get around my price range?

Chelseas are gay as fuck and tan suede chelseas are Instagram fuccboi-core but if you're ok with that CP is generally good quality for the price. I'm not a fan of their chelseas though, the silhouette is very casual/trashy/Zara-tier. They look like they'd cost $80, not $500.

Look at RM Williams or any British shoemaker for some dressier options

I never liked suede chelsea boots. Chelsea boots are for rainy weather in town and that means no suede and no suede, imo.

I just already have a few leather shoes. I suppose I could go with leather boots, but I’m not sure if I want leather Chelsea boots. Like I said, I’m open to suggestions. I’ve never really dived into the men’s boots market, so I’m a bit of blank slate here.

I want a pair but I'm afraid they'll look bad after a few months while leather boots look even better when worn for a while
