Hey MFA: Looking for a similar boot to the L.L. Bean Hawthorne.

Hey guys,

As the title said I'm looking for something similar to this Hawthorne boot from LL Bean. I'd get these but they're out of my size. I'm curious if you guys had any recommendations?

Thanks in advance,

TwoBagels.

If you don't mind the color, Land's End Canvas has a pretty similar shoe.

Those are nice, but I'm really looking for the cap-toe. Thanks, though.

Hmm, yes.

Or if price is no issue...

Oh, dude. Those Aldens are so sweet. I'd get them in a second, if I could afford them. Thanks for the suggestions.

I did. They're out and she wasn't sure if they were getting any more. And yes, their customer service was extremely helpful. Someone answered on the first ring. I was like, 'What? A human..." It was a pleasant experience.

The Wolverine 1000 Mile line (that isn't the 1000 Mile boot itself) has some great examples of dressier and more military inspired boots. The Rockford is dressier than the 1000 mile but is still more rugged than the LL Bean boot; the Darby is a dressy slick boot, while the Montgomery is very close to the LL Bean one except with a lugged sole.
