Looking for a pair of chelsea boots, in either style A or style B. Details within!
Budget: ~$125
Style A
-Platform/creeper-style sole with no (maybe very little) distinction between heel and forefoot
-Mid ankle length
-Leather/pleather
-Almond/round toe (but not bulbous like a lot of docs)
Style B
-low heel
-contrasting sole
-low profile on ankle
-longer in the front, shorter on the sides

Response by poster: oh- nonbinary here, and I'm okay with either men's or women's shoes, just don't want them to be too... clunky (again, like doc martens)

How do you feel about a bit of a heel? Do these in black suit Style A? They're a hair above your price range, though.

Platform sole (tho I don't know how you feel about the nubuck finish)

Response by poster: Just to clarify, I'm not looking for advice on whether to pick A or B, I like them equally. I am looking for links to specific shoes for sale that fit either criteria.

For style B: Sorel Emelie Chelsea. Slightly over your budget but you probably can wait for a sale / coupon code. Sorel has also had other similar styles in the past... They tend to be waterproof and very durable.

I have these docs which have a non-bulbous tapered toe and are nicely unisex as docs are. Also very comfy.

Clark's are good value for the money and the Blackford seems to fit some of your list.
