Proper leather shoes

Thinking of these (in Tan) for the winter.

Yeah Loake Bledales. Look really nice on, though I sized down to an 8 and I'm considering trying a 7.5 (though I didn't have chunky winter socks on when I tried them) as they are pretty wide. They come with a rubber sole as above. Lovely boots. I think I'll pull the trigger on them.

I'm not convinced I could work them with a suit though. Any suggestion for a good boot to wear to the office through the winter?

I got the waxed Bedale's, really nice boots, the sole is a goodyear welted one
also for the 1880 lasts, you'll have to size down, my 8's fit my 8.5 feet with a bit of room after they broke in.
do it!!
