These are new this season. Considering how good they look and the fact that they are only £65, might appeal to some - especially coming up for Halloween; though I appreciate anyone on here looking isn't just Indy for a day! ;-)
I've just picked up a pair of the £65 Next boots. I have compared them to my old pair of Todds and as you can see from the photos they are not an exact match but with a bit of weathering hopefully they should be close enough.

Thanks for pics, Skyhawker. Side by side you can see the difference, but they'd certainly look the part at a quick glance under trousers. Looking to order a pair soon!
They look good, but I have to tell you, I am getting really irked by boot manufacturers putting those pull tabs up over the top edge of the boot!!! I have a pair of Bass Billy boots and another pair of some cheaper boot and they both have the pull tabs over the top edge...it drives me crazy because every time I sit down or move in a certain way that pulls my pants legs up, when I stand up my pants legs are caught inbetween the pull tab and my ankle!!! I have to dislodge my pants every time...it is the dumbest thing....
Yeah, those look to be cloth tabs which might be a bit better, but on my other boots, the tab is thick leather. I could cut it off as no one would see it but I have not brought myself to do that just yet.
Those Next boots do look pretty good. I managed to pick up a pair of these in the UK last month (link below). They'd gone into a sale at £33. I snapped them up, but they're now currently out of stock . Who knows though, they may get some more in later. http://www.schuh.co.uk/mens/red-or-dead ... 204596120/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I understand your frustration. We don't do half sizes in the UK. I'm actually a 9-1/2, so it means some 9's fit me and some 10's. This also means some 9's are too small and some 10's are too big. This makes buying footwear online a bit of a nightmare, so the company's returns policy is all important.

Other than that, the boots look great!!!
The boots I got last month (see above) also have a cloth pull tab on the back and I have the same problem. It bugs me that they snag my trouser legs, but I was planning on folding the tabs over and super glueing them down on the inside in case cutting them off ends up looking a bit rough.
The irony of ironies with the Next boots is that after finding them, they've sold out before I got a pair! Ah well... can only hope they get my size back in stock.
Found these others that are quite close in style, though devoid of the "apron" stitching. Hopefully they'll appeal to some.
