What have we got the UK around £100 that's good, has Goodyear welts, steel shanks and are re-sole'able ?

Google William Lennon & Co.

Hand made in the Peak District in a proper old school workshop

Bit over budget, but tick all your boxes and more

I wear boots every day to work, been doing so for so many years and I don’t own any normal shoes.

There isn’t much which is good quality and comfy around for less than £100. I always wore Chippewa Artic 50’s which I got from the US as they had a fleece lining and are the best boots I’ve ever worn but they recently stopped making them. I’d get about 2 years or so out of a pair.

I’m currently breaking in a couple of pairs of Harkila’s

They are pretty good but not fully broken in as yet.
