My wife got the RM Williams commando gardener boots and they were lovely but she kept on telling me how comfy they were. As I was the one who had coveted them for a while I was rather jealous.
I did some more research to discover that their sizing is pretty much identical to Trickers and Cheaney and there was a pair available on their website in my size. Ordered ten days ago and they arrived yesterday from Australia. Tried them on with a thin sock and they were roomy, but a more standard thickness sock and they fit perfectly. Usually I am wary of wearing new leather shoes for a day but after the initial try yesterday was confident I could wear them for the day today. The leather is super supple and they have started to become instant friends. V v pleased with the purchase, they are nice but not a full dress boot, which was what I wanted, something a little more rugged and less refined urban than a more conventional Chelsea boot. The one piece construction of the RMW’s along with the chromexcel leather gives me confidence they can be used for days outdoors and be weather resistant.

Nice, brown or black? I’m not too keen on the two tone heel block but I can see they’re very well made. Maybe a bit too casual for what I’m after though.
My wife actually found a relatively cheap (£70) pair of Trickers Henry in my size on the secondhand website Vestiaire which arrived this week, a bit darker than I prefer but for the price they’ll do nicely.

Looking to replace some Church’s espresso brown Chelsea boots but their latest offerings aren’t really doing it for me. Front runner are Trickers Henry but open to suggestions? Commando sole over a dressy smooth style.
