I must agree with Alton. Kenetrek boots are hard to beat. I tried a lot of boots before settling on Kenetreks. I like that the factory for a little over $100 does Not just resole but basically completely restores the boots. These boots just wear like iron.
Once broke in they are as comfortable as any boot I have worn.

I hike every day and the best boots for comfort and durability are Meindl's sold by Cabelas. I have worn out at least 4 pairs in the last 15 years (and two hips ) . The perfect hikers are a great all around boot. You will not be disappointed.

Bean's Maine hunting boots are hard to beat with the proper inner sole. Have used them for over 50 years and the Browning kangaroo boot is a great dry upland boot as they are super lightweight and comfortable.

My uninsulated Filson Uplanders will still be in new condition when I am gone. Y'all watch the obituaries. I think retail is over $300 now. Woops. $410. I may start wearing them more.

Love my Redwings for the uplands; they just look like hunting boots oughta...



And when it gets a little soggy...

I like my Russell's, I also have used the Bean Hunting boot but you need proper inserts (arch supports) to wear them with comfort.

I bought a pair of Filson Highlanders (insulated) years ago and they are the best boots I have ever owned. They give great ankle support and the leather on the inside is buttery soft. The insulation is not very thick and adds to the comfort. Takes a while to break in though.

Danner Pronghorns ,8" ,400 Grams of Insulate ,I buy two pair at a time from Cabelas ,One pair always got walked heavily behind three Bird dogs and the other I wear in my Tree stand hunting Deer and Bear etc. ! Then after a couple of years the tree stand boots turn in to my Walking Boots the wore out boot to the trash etc.etc etc. ! Very affordable for the quality of boot in my opinion also Very Comfortable ,light weight and waterproof to a point as long as the water isn't over the top you are okay for the first year but then they seem to start to break down if you use them heavily !
