Rockys feel great, but a while back they made a bunch with defective soles that crumbled off and they didn't warranty them. I won't buy any more.

Try as many on as you possibly can. It's never what you think you'll like.

I also have to give thumbs up to Danner and Muck.
I have had three pairs of Danners while in the Marine Corps. I absolutly loved them. I had one pair for inspections, One pair in jungle, and one pair insulated.
I still wear the insulated pair for hunting and they have stood the test. I wore this pair for my 7 month tour in iraq and they have alot of miles on them. The only bad thing about danners is depending on the style they can get a little heavy.

Be sure to get the best you can afford. I have had good luck with Cabelas Browning and thier own brand. It depends on where and the temp. I prefer leather boots with Goretex and 200 gram Thinsulate for bird hunting, unless I'm deer hunting.Then I like more insulation. Irish setters are good boots but like others said, they must fit right. I used to wear plain leather boots but it seems like I am hunting wet areas alot more nowdays. Also I need stiffer boots as I get older to protect my ankles on rough ground.

I've liked my similar Irish Setters very much. About 5 years of hard use in cold, wet & muddy weather. They are not too pretty anymore, but have a lot of life left in them.

White's. Smoke Jumpers.
Whoa nelly expensive, best of the best as told to me by sourdoughs and treecutters. I've definitely been envious of my buddies wearing that type of boot when my Vasque's aren't tall enough crossing streams and when my Danner's rubber gets destroyed in a single summer season in Alaska.
Completely rebuildable, customized fit, wowza.
