Maybe not quite what you’re after, but red brick safety boots are one of the few options that are a rare combo of: mid ankle, trainer-ish, but with Kevlar toe and midsole. They’re the right balance of durability vs lightness for me. Can’t be chewed hiking about with 2kg of boot on.

Popular in the Netherlands but rarely see them here.

Since about 2 years I have Cofra Stoppata, of which the other models look similar to the one you mentioned: http://www.cofra.it/en/products/footwear/footwear-lines/1-footwear/49-old+glories?
My Dickies steel toe-cap boots have finally bitten the dust after ten years.
Brown, trad looking, steel toe, good arch support. What are the gents around town wearing these days?
