New boots

[TomFromBama]

I'm not a boot expert by any means, but I'm a big fan of Dr Martens in general both for wear-ability and durability. That first link you posted looks an awful lot like a Dr Martens Affleck:



I have a new pair of these in the black and white oxford style, and I think they are great boots, but they DO require a considerable break-in period!
