I want an Oxford toe boot similar to this...

But without the change in leather grain. I have had a look at the main, well known shoemakers,but not much is really tickling my fancy; any other suggestions of good bootmakers?
ive got some loakes. personally i wouldnt buy them again
churches are the only ones i really rated tbh
I agree with Andy above: found loake to be extremely poor. My churches were awesome - but couldn’t justify them at full price.
Currently wearing some herring boots would definitely buy again. Herring shoes are made by barker I believe

Down the road from me, a real shop in Doncaster if you're close enough.
I agree Loakes aren't as good as they used to be, but haven't seen many alternatives. But those Herring Teignmouth boots are exactly the sort of suggestion I was hoping to get!
Viberg (service boots especially) are great but make what you've linked to look cheap 😯
I have some Loake Brogue boots with a commando sole from about 5 years ago and they've been good, took quite along time to wear in, but are now comfy. I'll need to get them re-soled at some point soon as the sole are starting to wear out, thanks for the link t that place - looks like they know what they;re doing.
I (accidentally) bought a pair of Grenson Vincent Veldtshoen a couple of weeks ago - they're starting to break in now - again with commando sole as I don't like leather soles. Expensive, but I trust that they'll last a long time, made in the UK too 🙂
