I did a lot of research on this a while back - others to add to the list of reputable and similar to Sanders are Playboy, Hutton, Drakes, George Cox…
The George Cox are slightly cheaper - https://www.georgecox.co.uk/men/snuff-suede-popboy-chukka
Depending on your size there are sanders about in various sales…
I’ve had loads of Clark’s and I’d never buy them again - the soles are dangerously slippery once you’ve worn the texture off the crepe… I’ve got the Sanders and they’re great but the foxing (band around the sole) is easy to damage and you can’t resole them (which is a bit shit for the money!) - last shout is Roamers which used to be £20 from the plimsole man off brick lane - they didn’t look too bad for the price and lasted quite well as they’re not crepe… spendier prettier option might be ‘Kebo’ desert boots - Loake also do imitation crepe desert boots…
