Some more options for you: White’s Boots, Nick’s Boots, Red Wings (much cheaper at ~$350, still great boots), Allen Edmonds, Thursday boots (I don’t know that I’d call these BIFL - they’re good $200 boots but they’re just not equivalent to the ~$500 boots on the list)… there’s a bunch of others but all of those are worth looking at.

As far as Suede goes, look into Roughout leather. It’s pretty much just thicker suede, but suede has come a long way too. Can’t go wrong either way

Awesome! Thank you! Will the roughout stand the test of time? With care and everything?

Absolutely. Roughout is essentially just leather they’ve turned inside out - so the suede side is facing out. It’ll look “rough” rather than smooth leather, but that means you can pretty much just brush it to fix it up when it needs it.
