Allen Edmonds is a classic American high quality shoe maker worth looking at. They have a wide range of styles, as well as a broad selection of sizes and widths. They can be resoled for a long time, and they've become quite popular as used shoes because of how well they last.

Get boot trees to help them maintain their shape and appearance.

By the way, congratulations!

PS - I'm going to throw a few expensive options in just in case.

This place carries Allen Edmonds' modified last. It's narrow at the heal, and wide at the toes. They cost more but some people need that.

Kreosote boots are custom boots, expensive, and very interesting. They look like they're made specifically for ass kicking. Even the dressier boots do too.

The Self Edge Flathead is less expensive, but still expensive, and another interesting boot.

This one is much closer to your price point, it's the Nicks Heritage Tankerpro.
