'Tis time to purchase new boots. My trusty Clark's Desert Boots are well past their best and I have a pair of Timberland boots I wear in winter, but whilst seemingly indestructible, they are much suitable for winter, I chose the wrong colour (black), and I tend to avoid putting them on unless the weather dictates that they'd be ideal.
Having recently cheated redundancy, and feeling secure in the old finances again, I was pondering a few things, and am considering lashing out and buying a pair that will last a good few years, rather than cheaper chain store types that last a couple of years at best before they start to wear badly.
I was thinking of these:

Then whilst doing some research came across Red Wing Chukka boots, and find I've fallen for these:

I can get both in Manchester, and I'm sure a trip there will happen soon enough, but am I missing anything else? I've pretty much decided that chukka boots it is, although I was quite taken by some of the desert boots at Russell and Bromley's. Anybody know anything I should know before I spend and regret it?
