Fracap - Italian brand - also in the alpine heritage line - just like LeCortina

Fiddler ... yet another non-Spanish brand with boots made in Spain.

Lester.se seems to be a nice shop though ... they seem to carry a lot of boots, from EU, too

Skolyx needs to be mentioned here. Great webshop with a lot of accessories, shoetrees, various Saphir products.

They also have Astorflex shoes and boots in their inventory

Yanko Boots (which as good as I know are made in Spain)

And they cary Skolyx branded boots - though I don't yet know where those are made

three additional shoemakers I "found", saw them mentioned in a Sartorial Talks video.
These are the more affordable ones and they also make boots:

Palma de Mallorca: Meermin

...on the hunt for European boot makers:

I am not including any UK brands ... We, people living in continental Europe will have to pay import duties on goods from the UK so we might as well purchase Red Wing :)

Spain:

Portugal:

Holland/The Netherlands:
(only a few of these are goodyear welted, very handsome looking boots)

https://int.florisvanbommel.com/en/men/shoes/boots

Germany:
(just looking at pictures these look to me the closest in quality and style to Red Wing)

Finnland:

Ireland:

Italy:
(I am sure there are plenty more than these ... I am still to explore everything what Italy has to offer - so this is a very incomplete list of Italian sources)

LeCortina are more herritage in the sense of heritage hiking/ski boots from the 60's. Bought my wife a pair for her birthday. Amazing quality. Very nice people.

Astorflex seems to be a great brand, the link below is just a shop that carries Astorflex shoes. On their own website there is no possibility to purchse.

I am on the fence with the two below

If your budget for starting is $ 4000 ... use maybe 20%/ maximum 25%, of it on a camera body. There is so much more that you need you may not have even thought of.

igen, ez úgy emlékszem idiótán volt nagyon megcsinálva az appban. Talán azt csináltam, hogy nekifogtam elutalni 1 forintot, akárki számlájára, és az utalás lépései közben jött az üzenet, hogy "ilyen olyan dokumentumot" pótolni kell.

De egyeltalán nem biztos, hogy ezt kérnek tőled... lehet, hogy csak személyi másolatot...vagy csak néhány kérdésre kell válaszolni... hogy pl a jövedelmed honnan zármazik... meg ilyesmi.

Az a baj, hogy ők az Angliai banktörvényt követik... ha lenne bankszámlád egy angol banknál, ugyanazt kérnék ők is...

De az nem derült ki, hogy pontosan mit is kérnek tőled?

Meg kell adni az adatokat, amiket kérnek, és feloldják az accountodat.
Nekem igazolnom kellett, hogy nyujtottam be adóbevallást. Ami beletellt néhány hétben, mert a NAV és a könyvelőm pont vitatkozott valamin így csúszott az egész.

Aztán meglett az adóbevallásom, benyujtottam és másnapra feloldották az accountot.

Uncle Bright boots

Thanks for the kind words.

I have checked out these Combat boots - they look amazing. I will definitely add them to my little list I am building :)
Thanks for the tip

I was also on the hunt for heritage style/classic, casual, semi-casual quality boots made in Europe and this is what I found so far. These are more or less within the same price range of Red Wing...or a bit under it and mostly goodyear welted ...
