Tired of shoes lasting 6-12 months. What to get?
I second this. Jim Green's Numzaan or 719 boot (iron ranger competitor)if you want a short height. Honestly tanks and easily resolable by any cobbler. People are sleeping on JG. Redwing is good but the value proposition of JG is better.

You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't at least consider Jim Green boots. The Numzaan has a similar look to the ones you mentioned.

32 years and still going strong…
Yes, but there is also the actual Docs factory in that city down the street, where they make the "made in UK" Docs today. They always made them there as well, but they used NPS to keep up with the demand. The "crazy horse" leather is probably the best leather you can get these boots in from Solovair (or DM, but Solovair is better). It will absorb conditioners and won't crack as the typical shiny plastic-topped leathers. The Astronaut boot style from NPS is a much better design than the derby style, but the latter is the iconic one. If one is interested in something different than the derby style, I'd have a much easier time recommending something like the Jim Green Numzaan boot which is on a completely different level of quality for that price range, plus what the company does and stands for is awesome...
