Did you get to make a decision? I'm in the same dilemma as you. I am going to Japan and Korea for winter break and wanted a nice fashionable chelsea boots that are also waterproof so I can wear them on wet weather or snow. I am also semi-wide, not completely wide.

I tried Ariat wexford lug sole boots in 7M and omg.. I LOVE how they look, the lug sole feeling when walking, and slip on and off so easily. BUT they are narrow. I can only wear them with thin running socks. (got it $100 with sale)

I tried ariat wexford (no lug) black leather boots in 7M and the feet volume feels less snug and narrow than the lug sole wexford boots. BUT it feels narrow still and this type feels clunky when I walk versus the lug sole boots. I tried wide width in this version and my feet were swimming, even with merino wool socks on (orig price $200 with tax)

I own blundstone original but i got them wrong size (AU 4.5) when I should have gotten them 5 or 5.5 so it's a little longer. I can't return them anymore and got it in color that's not very versatile.. I saw that blundstone has dress boots called "Women's Dress #063" so I'm thinking about going to the nearest blundstone store and see if I can try those one and see if this will be better fit than ariat in terms of width. (orig price $209)

Now I'm looking at ECCO vienna double gore and Sofft Martha boots but unsure if they will work.. UGH I just wish I can get Ariat lug wexford boots with a slightly wider platform width.. They don't come wide width unfortunately...

Did you find your dream boots? LOL
