Need recommendation Weatherproof professional looking chukka boot lace-up or slip-on

Have you looked on the Allen Edmonds site? Many of their styles have dainite soles and their clearance/factory second pages have some pretty solid deals.

I have a pair from around the same time when JLP RTWs were still made by Edward Green. It seems like ages ago when the two parties had an acrimonious end to their relationship. I thought that it would be the end of EG...

Well yeah the good old days. They do sneakers now :) The good news is that you can still order any of their previous models.

Let's get back to the needed recommendation: nice but not over the top because it will be worn in bad weather such as rain and snow, weather proof/resistant, and professional looking.

I work in higher ed (midwestern, public, Big Ten), and the vibe of dress is all over the place from raggedy to full suit. The front-facing IT folks here dress very professionally, while the web developers are in jeans and T-shirts. At any rate, have you looked at Cole Haan? I've got a pair of these in low-top (with white soles), and they're super comfy and can be worn with nicer stuff. Attachment 107906

They were on the "25 Best NE brands" link earlier, and since I have a few pairs, I too can vouch for Rancourt.

Made in Maine, if you're looking for that, and all in all, a great outfit. You're sure to find something there in a style that will work for you.
