Top 10 Most Comfortable Dress Boots For Men

1. Ross & Snow Riccardo Blucher Boot

Reminiscent of classic Red Wings, Ross & Snow’s Riccardo is a cut above any winter boot that we’ve tried. They’re effortlessly stylish but feature sturdy construction and supple rustic-style leather.

The Italian calfskin leather uppers are lined with organically raised and ethically-sourced shearling wool. As a result, they’re unbelievably warm and it’s sometimes tempting to leave them on around the house.

Furthermore, the footbed is removable and you’ll have the choice between a shearling or a cushioned ergonomic insert for additional support. While the regular insert is nice, we can’t help but always wear it with shearling.

They’re admittedly pricey, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more comfortable and stylish boot. Although other options on this list do a fine job, we do think that they’re outperformed by the Riccardo.

2. Amberjack The Chelsea [Chelsea Boot]

Proprietary-material outsoles with dual-density technology. Heat-activated arch support in the midsole. Soft, breathable buckskin lining on the inside. These three elemental components, along with Italian suede and A-grade leather uppers, are what make Amberjack’s The Chelsea not just some of the most comfortable Chelsea boots we’ve come across, but incredibly comfortable boots, period.

The contemporary design along with unique color options are what takes The Chelsea over the top. There’s no question you’ll find a style from Amberjack that will match your tastes and, after getting them on your feet, you’ll likely come back for more.

3. Idrese Custom Boots

Goodyear-welted custom full-grain leather boots that you can design yourself for less than $400? Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? When Jawad Malik founded Idrese, his objective was to provide people with the opportunity to do just that.

You can create your own boots using Idrese’s online 3D designer. The boots are then crafted to your custom specs in Almansa, Spain. Traditional brogue boots are a tad more expensive at $375. However, Jodhpur, Chelsea, and Chukka boots start at $335.

Idrese’s comfort resides primarily in its vast range of widths and sizes. Rather than having to settle for something that just about fits but may feel snug, Idrese caters to every foot size and shape.

4. Allen Edmonds Sullivan Street Blucher Boots

Another classic Blucher boot, the Allen Edmonds Sullivan Street is a specimen of traditional footwear like the Wolverines above. A Goodyear welt ensures longevity whilst the Dainite rubber soles provide traction and shock absorption.

With a combination of smooth and pebbled calfskin leather, these boots can be worn across a spectrum of dress codes. Furthermore, the balmoral cap toe offer an extra degree of formality so you can either choose to wear these with plain jeans or a three-piece business suit.

Although we tend to have a preference for brown leather boots, the black feels more effective in this scenario. Thanks to the features detailed above, they’re rendered more formal and usable for both business casual and professional wear.

5. Beckett Simonon Douglas Jodhpur Boots

Stylish and versatile, the Beckett Simonon Douglas Jodhpur is an original option. What we appreciate about its dressiness is that the ornamention can just be slightly seen under a trouser leg, which results in a streamlined and sleek look.

The Jodhpur boot is spacious but offers just the right level of support. It fits well without being too tight and if you get a half-size above, you’ll easily be able to slip in a few inserts if needed. Furthermore, Beckett Simonon offers foam inserts with all of its orders.

6. Ace Marks Hugo Blucher Boots

Sleek and elegant Italian-made boots, the Hugo pairs nicely with a suit in business professional settings. However, it also looks great with more business casual attire, too.

Thanks to a well-crafted Blake-stitch, the thin profile is both flexible and streamlined. Nevertheless, they’re surprisingly comfortable to wear, especially if you’re on your feet all day!

7. Johnston & Murphy Shearling [Blucher Boot]

With its fleecy genuine shearling lining, these boots are perfect for those colder months and feel like slippers. Furthermore, the storm welt (similar to the Goodyear) offers extra water resistance without sacrificing the ability to replace the soles. You also have a crepe rubber sole for improved traction.

Perfect for those colder months, we’d wear these casually when out and about under the rain. However, they’re also a very tempting option to throw on for your daily commute during winter. In fact, they do actually look rather stylish with business casual or professional attire.

Made from burnished brown Italian calfskin, they’re a significantly cheaper alternative to the Riccardo above. While they won’t be quite as robust or refined, they’re an excellent budget-friendly choice.

8. Johnston & Murphy Copeland Chukka Boots

From Johnston & Murphy, these Chukkas feature a more artisanal style. With a crepe rubber sole, you can enjoy extra traction and their traditional construction makes them very comfortable even during long periods of time.

These are particularly casual and feel great with jeans and a hoodie during the milder months. However, we’ve been known to sport them with a suit and feel that they’re right at home with more relaxed businesswear styles.

We have a preference for the brown leather as it’s dark enough to be worn across a variety of dress codes. However, we’d also consider them in black should our regular needs be more formal.

9. Taft Branson Boot

Taft is renowned for its rebellious and unorthodox shoe designs. Indeed, it has become a hit among adventurous men who seek to push the boundaries of the businesswear dress code. We love the way the Branson boot marries textile and leather in a unique yet traditional way.

In fact, the quarters are somewhat reminiscent of early 20th century spats, which evokes a somewhat vintage vibe. While perhaps not suitable for more conservative workplaces, it’s a great option if you want to explore a more elaborate wardrobe.

10. Vionic Chase [Orthotic Chukka Boots]

If you’re in dire need of extra comfort, consider these Chukka boots by Vionic. Whilst they’re orthotic shoes, you can barely tell – if at all – that they feature extra comfort for foot disorders. There’s also a podiatrist-designed EVA footbed for extra comfort, which can be removed if you want to replace them.

Although a world apart from the Forrester Chukkas in terms of construction, they’re stylistically very similar. You could happily wear these as casual footwear but even consider pairing them with more formal attire for the office.

Both black or tan options are made from water-resistant suede. We’d opt for the tan as it seems more in line with the formality of both the type of leather and boot design.
