Basically I’m looking for something with this type of design

Something fashionable that I could wear on a day to day basis but still of high enough quality that it could have utility in an outdoor/protest/combat situation. I’m pretty sure Doc Martens are kind of shit in the latter regard, no?

Also any other tips for owning boots? How difficult are they to break in? Are they going to cause my ankles to bleed? These would be my first pair. I’m not trying to go above $170 if possible.

Why do you want combat boots specifically? Apparently they’ve done a lot of research and boots tall boots don’t actually provide more ankle support. A lot of spooky special forces guys are wearing lower rising fancy hiking boots these days.
