Zara alternatives for leather boots with exaggerated chunky soles?

Anyone know where I could find more chunky boots like these from Zara? I like the look and fit of these but am worried about the quality (made of pvc)

I'm specifically looking for boots with chunky, exaggerated soles that taper towards the ankle. Preferably black or brown leather instead of plastic. Besides sites like Zara, ASOS, are there any other more affordable options for boots styled like this?

Thanks in advance really appreciate it!

Check your military surplus store, I found a similar lace up boot for like $100 cad

But be sure to wear them a bit and see if they hurt your feet or not. And the sizing is so off, also check out dr marten 1460 mono they a bit expensive but have a look

thanks this is a really good tip I didn't think of. I live near a pretty big army base and there are a bunch of surplus stores near me actually!

Yo walk around them in a bit before purchasing, they might have bad padding and hurt around the ankle. Be sure before purchasing or see if they have a good return policy

I feel like Dr. martens have alot of new models with that type of chunky sole. If you have a boot you already own & like id ask a cobbler if they could put on a lug sole for extra chunk. Agree with the surplus store option!

Just browse boots on wconcept or musinsa. A lot of these K-brands are relatively affordable and for sure on par or better than Zara. Plus this trend is right in their wheelhouse.

WConcept/Musinsa are both multi-brand retailers, kinda like k-ASOS.

Sam Edelman has a few in this style, that are especially affordable on poshmark or eBay, and are leather.

Vagabond Jeff boots, they’re very bottega-esque and should be what you’re looking for. Can frequently find them on sale.

Not sure if these would be chunky enough for your taste, but maybe the Steve Madden howler boots? Definitely an affordable price point compared to some other options
