These ones are right on the money but they're all black...there are other styles on this site you may like as well, and it's also a great place for vintage military surplus...

The Explorer and Field boots over at the Magnoli Clothiers look rather nice.
L.L. Bean Maine Hunting Shoes were created in 1912.

I'd stay away from Motocowboy. I've purchased their wares on two occassions, and in both instances, my $500 boots were of costume quality, nowhere near durable enough for use in the field or on a motorcycle. The 2nd order was a number of years after the first, and they messed up on my calf measurement, and made boots that would probably be loose on Lou Ferigno's calves, never mind my skinny legs. After bringing it to their attention, they only gave me $100 off, to put toward having a local tailor fix it. Not thinking about the relatively non-alteration friendly nature of leather, I naively accepted.

I've been toying with the idea of ordering some tall boots from pennangalan, but am leary about finding out first hand whether they're more a "boot" boot, vs. fashion boots. Some of their designs look pretty cool though. Something like this maybe? http://www.pennangalan.com/boots/FW902.php

That's good to know. Thanks! Not that $500 boots are in my near future but still good to have some feed back. Now those WPG for $200 boots look even better!

bespoke

The west is full of great bootmakers, get some made for yourself.

Just be certain to go to a small place where the guy who measures you is the one who makes the boots.

Tall Boots

You can order tall engineer boots like that to be made in brown from Stompers or Big Black Boots. Takes about two months from Wesco and they will be perfect and quality. John

Westco's are first class, heavy duty, for-real boots with lots of options. But base price is over $400.
