Dude, if you're willing right now to shell out 200 on boots, I would suggest budgeting over the next few months (or however long it takes) to save another 200 or so for those Oak Street Bootmakers boots, assuming you really do want them. Hell, they aren't even out yet so you've got some time to save up (although I think OSB is taking pre-orders).

OSB is a reputable brand, handmade in the USA and will probably last you a decade of you treat them well (shoe trees errrday and leather treatment now and again). What's a couple of months of wait time compared to the years you'll own the boot?

EDIT: okay I'll try and be more helpful. What specifically about the boot do you like? The plain toe (as opposed to cap or moc toe)? Leather sole? Shape? Colour? This will help me exclude boots that may have contrary features.
