Depends on your desired aesthetic. The top black layer will scratch off extremely easily and once it's gone it's gone. The brown underneath will show through. If you're trying to look nice and dressier this won't work. But if you want that worn in beat to hell look it works.

Whats your budget, cause for cheap the Austrian meme is as close as you're gonna get. The toe box is unstructured so it'll flatten out with wear like in pic related.
Theres also the Belgian army gp boot but it doesn't go quite as high as the Austrian meme.

Your best bet though is to save up around $500 and watch the secondhand market (grailed, rak, and y!jp). With some patience not only can you get gently used Anns for that price but guidi as well (995 or 991 are the models you want). You might also wanna look around for buterro combats. They don't produce them regularly, but they've made some really great ones over the years and they often can be had for <$300.

buy a quality boot secondhand on grailed/rak/y!jp.

They're garbage, but like, decent garbage. Garbage that you feel bad about buying but not as bad as if you had bought Timbs or something.
Glaring quality control issues, their leather is some of the lowest quality Chromexcel that you can find. Almost like it's the pieces Viberg and White's and Alden and others wouldn't buy so they dumped it on Wolverine. Expect terrible creasing and ugly loose grain very quickly. Also they have a leather sole which is terrible on anything but dress shoes.
But again, at least it's not Docs or Timbs or something trash like that. Maybe give Chippewa a look first as something in a similar price range and aesthetic bit with a bit higher quality.

What's a good brand to start into the world of boots with (low to medium price range)? Been wearing Docs for quite some time, but I'd like to have something a bit more adultish, preferably brown.

Im a size 10.5 on a US brannock scale and a 9.5 fits me fine, so id size down 1. Mine came with EE width as standard I believe, I could probably size down to an E wdith since I get a bit of heel slippage.

[Anonymous No.13878847]

I promised to an anon some threads back to let him know if the Solovair derbies were any good : they are, but only because of their price and looks.
The soles are worse than Doc's, the leather kind of feel plasticy (though that may change with further wear), the laces are just straight up bad and too short.
Still, they're pretty comfy, look great, aren't that pricy and are resistant to rain, mud and shit. It's not like you have any other choice if you want these kind of boots at that price anyway.

Trying to choose between SOF Corcoran Imports or the Varusteleka Jump boots, both in brown. I've read that the Leka boots have pretty soft soles that wear down quick and want to hear some opinions on both pairs, planning on using them as just a milspo boot and not going to be doing any hikes as I already plan on resoling my Austrian memes for that purpose.

Also, as an aside, how's the leather on the Leka boots in comparison to the Corcorans? do they patina as well as i've seen the corcs and are they as (what i assume to be) high quality as the corcs? cheers in advance.

Maybe start with a grailed search for carpe diem since they do a 7 eye boot? Guidi 995 are also a solid choice though they're 8 eye instead of 7, but the eyelets are discreet enough that it doesn't make much of a difference.
