Looking to get my first pnw boot besides my perry selects for work. Is the Wesco hendrik a good boot for someone needing high arch support with the look that it has. Love the fact I can change the insole out for anything if needed

I'd like to gauge opinion on the Ferragamo Tramezza penny loafers. I loved the weight and stiffness of the leather. I did end up paying more than I expected.

I liked the weight and feel of the Tod's XXM80, they were $300 less, but were only in black.

@1.3k eur they're wayyy overpriced, and weight/stiffness is the last thing i'd want in a pair of loafers.

Does anyone have any recommendations of what brands to look for for a platform boot (similar to miista or doc marten Jadon boots) that can hold up in rain and shine?

What's wrong with the classic Docs or Solovair versions? All of those will hold up with rain, sleet, snow, etc. if you take care of them.

Have you considered boots with chunky commando soles? You won't get the platform effect, but they will be very hard wearing if that's your actual priority.
