Distinguished gentlemen of r/AustralianMFA,
I have an unpopular opinion: I don’t like Chelsea boots. I really wanted to like them. They look sleek in theory, and everyone seems to recommend them as the go-to “smart but comfortable” option for corporate wear. The RM Williams cult.
But in practice? The hem of my suit trousers keeps getting tucked into the pull tab / bootstrap at the back when I walk, and it looks absolutely ridiculous.
I already have a pair of Julius Marlow Oxfords, but they’re not exactly the most comfortable for long office days and commuting.
So… what are the distinguished gentlemen here wearing with suits that is actually comfortable and high quality?
Any brands/models that are genuinely comfortable, well-made, and still look sharp in a conservative-ish consulting / corporate environment?
Would love recommendations.
Ps- I’m in Sydney.
Cheers.
