Boots - What kind?

I'm going to be needing a new pair of boots soon, after just about wearing through the soles of two different pairs of Brasher boots i wear in rotation. Unfortunately i can't get these re-soled. So i'm looking for the following things:-
-Long Lasting
-Ability to be re-soled
-Not tight around the ankle (thus not the obvious solution to the above would be doc martens of army boots)
-Tough soles preferably (walking round in the city more these days rather than working in the woods)
I'm looking for some good brands and suggestions, and preferably not too expensive (really about £60-70 is about as much as im wanting to spend)

I don't know if you can get LL Bean there, but I'm partial to these. They can be resoled, they're waterproof, and they look ok walking around town even though they are workboots.
Red Wing makes some pretty nice boots in their Classic collection, but their probably out of your price range.
Those L.L bean ones seem pretty nice, can get them here, but i think they are mail-order only, which is a no-no as far as boots are concerned.
That's how I roll...er...step...whatever they're awesome and comfortable. There are various colors available.
Pop some nice insoles in there and get going.
I never heard of the for life thing though. That sounds totally worth it.
I'm not sure how much they cost in pounds, though.

But pricier than my original thoughts, but i want to buy boots to last this time, to really last. I'm going to try some dr martens though, and also some british army surplus boots.
Any companies that make similar boots to the ones above?
Anyone with any experience of hobnail boots? They seem like they'd be very hard-wearing though maybe not so good on smoother surfaces? either for walking on or the surface.
