Mission-Specific Recommendations
Blundstone Chelsea
~$220
These kept coming up in every research thread I read. These are by far the most recommended boot across ALL missions and I have not seen a negative comment about them. A thermal lined option is available for colder areas.
Blundstone (Elders)
$210–$275
By far the most mentioned boots in ALL missionary threads. It is a Chelsea boot style. A thermal version is available for really cold climates. I haven't found a negative review of Blundstones. Many missionaries say these lasted their entire mission and still look nice.
