Boot Buying Dilemma

Some of my boots are getting a bit old and will need replacing soon. My old Adidas Tygun boxing boots probably don't have long left. I really love those boots - they are incredibly comfortable and I think they look great when I wear them with my trousers tucked inside.
Sadly Adidas don't make these any more. They have replaced them with the Tygun II, which are more expensive. I have been on the lookout for a cheap pair - of either the new or old style, but so far I haven't found any in my price range.

I now need to decide what boots to replace them with. Many years ago I had a pair of Adidas Box Champ, and I really loved the extra height you get with the 'high cut' boots. Sadly Adidas have discontinued those too, and I don't like the look of the Box Champ II as much.

I like the look of these Lonsdale boots - the Lonsdale Jab hi-cut boot. They cost less than I paid for either of my pairs of Adidas boots.
I also love tall converse style boots. So far I only have my Levi's but I would dearly love to have a pair of the Demonia knee-length boots. Since I already own a pair of all black Converse, I could easily wear these interchangeably, and probably nobody would notice.
I wouldn't tuck my trousers into the knee length boots in public but I would certainly enjoy wearing them like that around the house.

If I was going to get a pair of the knee length boots the I would also get a pair of these - they are the same boot but only calf length. The beauty of these is that I feel like I could get away with wearing these with trousers tucked inside.
I think I have fallen in love with the Lonsdale boots. I keep thinking about them, and how I'd love to tuck my trousers inside, lace them up and go for a walk. I have decided to wear my Adidas boots constantly from now on, to wear them out so that I have an excuse to buy some new boots. Then I will probably try to 'wear out' my fake converse so I can buy the Demonia boots.
