I hear Blundstone's are the Docs for grown-ups.
I have two pairs of 90's UK Docs that still look fantastic with a little polish. Every time I wear them to my parent's house my mother gives me a bunch of crap and reminds me she bought them for me like 15 years ago, and why don't I just get some new shoes already. Moms...

When I was at Snowshoe, WV skiing over new years there was a guy sporting these things at the NYE party, throwing $20 tips to everyone like a big baller.

I wear some cabelas gortex wellingtons everyday. They are a flat vibram sole in boars hide which they don't make anymore. Really comfortable. Key is to find a good cobbler, I'm on my 3rd set of vibram soles on them, dude only charges me 40 to put them on and rework them. If I want to church it up, I have a nice pair of Double H ropers similar to these.
can't go wrong with a pair of georgia boots either
I wore a pair of columbia lace up's for years to hunt in but just replaced them today with a set of irish setters but in 1000g thinsulate. I think they are made by red wings...they are really light weight, should be great for deer hunting.
yes, I wear carhart and camo, drink coors light, and dip kodiak.

The Eclipse III GTX is what I wear daily. Not sure if it's the style you're looking for, but the traction/water resistance beats any boot I've ever owned.

I wear Carhartt, never wear camo, drink Guinness, and dip Copenhagen.
You'll grow up some day.
uh oh, you got me!
I only wear camo when I hunt.
Cope is too fine cut for me...its all preference anyways.

Hells yeah, that's what I m talking bout. Cope satisfies, Carhart lasts and camo is ... well just weird. Guinness=tasty.
Here are my choices based on my own experiences:
Combat boot: Danner x1000000000000000
Hiking boot: merrell
Technical boot: lowa's

Good thread.
I have some Rocky's that need to be replaced. 10 eyelet combat boots (currently red laces) with a side zipper I bought at a cop store 9yrs ago. I didn't wear em every day though. They were usually worn all weekend coz the work environments have been more of a sneaker/hiking shoe thing, not a combat boot thing.
Looking to get another pair. They were really comfortable, didn't take long to break em in. Never gave me blisters. I was very happy with them. Wore the tread down flat. They're like ice skates now haha

These kick ass. On trail, great sticky sole for this level boot, but wear quickly. On road should last a long time. Have 2 pair, one to re-sole the other to wear. Also have mid lightweight boot, also great, but ran a little high in size.
I also really dig my Ecco's have two pair,Berlin and Turn.

Let's find out if she also wears the braces as well.
"Boots and Braces". Curiously enough that started with black African miners.

The best pair of boots I've ever owned is a pair of HH Brown Matterhorn's that I can't find anymore. They are about 15 years old and built like a tank and have been resoled a couple of times now. Mine are brown, but the only version I can find anymore are the black ones that they sell to the military.

Awesome boots! I wore a pair forever in the military, even wore them in survival school in Wa. in Jan/Feb (asshole deep in snow most of the time). I bought some similar Danners in the past but they were not nearly as comfortable as the Matterhorns.
