Anyway. Knock yourself out my dude. (Not mentioning meindl and hanwag).

>https://reck-schuhe.de/ Bit below trabert, still very good. Ask them directly, or come down to swabia to their factory shop.

https://www.rufflander.co.uk/product-category/heritage-footwear/Simple, solid, bit too rough IMO. Also doesn't fit my high arches, rather disappointing.
The biggest problems with these shoes is not the outer leather (unless you walk through thorns and rubble repeatedly), not the sole (easily replaced) but the lining. If it rubs off, you have to have a replacement glued in. How soon that will happen and how well it can be done depends on the lining material and fit, which is really impossible to say without testing. Generally speaking, military boots will have stronger lining there. Fashion boots and ironically mountain boots are weaker, especially the ones with foam padding inbetween outer and lining. Some few (william lennon, bertl, m77 come to mind) aren't lined at all which is probably best.
