I’ve had my eye on the Gaffney for a while as a legitimate option for affordable brogue boots. Right now they’re only offered in black and brown with a half-suede upper. I would have seriously considered these instead of the Lands’ End Canvas boots if it weren’t for the suede, so it’s good to see the new colors and the still low price ($130).

Carmina boots featuring Horween shell
Chippewa 6” Apache Lace Up Boots, $113.99 at Chucks Boots and Leather
If you missed out on the Lands’ End Canvas boots, here’s an attractive and affordable alternative (hat tip: Commerce with a Conscience).
Only $114, these Chippewa 6” Apache Lace Up Boots are $35 less than those LEC boots. Even with the 40% discount applied at Lands’ End, the Chippewas are just $25 more.
What does your extra $25 pay for?
Goodyear welt? Check.
Vibram sole with a dress profile? Check.
Free shipping? Check.
Made in the USA? Check.
Forget “alternative:” this is likely a better deal.
Nice find. If these were cap toed, I would be putting the order in ASAP.
Lands’ End Canvas Leather Lace-up Boots — $89.40 shipped after promo code
From: $149.00
When these boots were first released in August, I loved the look but worried about the quality. Googling for more information about Lands’ End footwear didn’t turn up very much, and what I did find tended not to be flattering. Initial reviews in the LEC thread on StyleForum weren’t promising, either.
You can imagine my surprise, then, when Valet endorsed the boots, and most of the reviews posted on the boots have been positive.
Valet’s first point implies that the regular price of $149 is fair for these boots, and you’ll have trouble finding any boot for less.
Today you can.
Promo code DEC13 (PIN: 1118) will knock 40% off the boots, plus free shipping. That’s just $89.40, before tax.
You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better deal, since Lands’ End rarely releases a promo code for more than 40% off (I don’t recall one, in any case), and Lands’ End Canvas almost never puts their shoes and boots on sale (perhaps, never).
Promo code expires tonight, so get on it.
I want to be a gentleman traveler.
Boots.
