Late to the party but definitely a couple of steps ahead of me.... I’ve already considered Carharrt and Thursday, the former apparently of poor quality but both unavailable in the UK anyway. Decided to just go with Redwing, a friend works in Schuh so I can actually get a proper fit plus a small discount except I can’t as it appears their stock doesn’t include my size? eBay is probably my next option with an educated guess on the size I’ll need, fingers crossed 9 is the magic number.....
Have you looked at Thorogood and Chippewa? I've got a pair of boots from each and they are very well made (I think the Thorogood just edge it for me in terms of preference).
