It took some time but I finally found the boots i was looking for:

It was more than I wanted to spend but they are literally the only boots I could find that met my criteria - full leather, side zip, armoured, with no "heel hook" (flat soled as possible) and no gor-tex liner.
Hey Big Sheep, sorry for hijacking your thread but I felt starting a new thread would be redundant. I hope you are having some success on your search for boots.
Those are nice looking boots. They appear to be very straightforward and relatively simple in their design (less to go wrong) while using quality materials.

As there was no wider or bigger size available, I bought a pair that fit but were twice the price. I wore them once and the chaffed my skin above the ankle. The only thing that kept me from bleeding was my heavy socks. I tried to return them and they said they don't allow returns for comfort reasons. I told them firmly that a boot that scraps the skin off people is a design flaw and a health hazard. They gave me refund and suggested another boot. I left the store.
Two doors down was shoe store with a sale on. Took three tries, but I finally found a boot I could walk in without pain. Surprize! Surprize! They were made in Canada, not China.
What boots did you end up with?
