if you want a tough pair of boots that will last forever, be comfortable, and look decent....look at the wolverine durashock steel toe.

Carolina offers a great boot.
Very comfortable out of the box, much more so than Red Wings and they're durable. |

Danner Acadias or the Matterhorn USMC boot are very close to the current issue gore-tex boot for the USMC... I know, I was in.
The Danner Acadias are the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. |

I just had to send a pair of Danner Foothills back for a size change. They are brown with cordura tops, goretex, hook lacing on top and the vibram sierra sole. I can't wait to get the wider pair back. I think I am going to love them. If you order Danners I think you should get a wider pair as I think they run narrow.

Corcoran jump boots. A tad pricey, but well worth it.

Thanks for all the input. I can now look at some different brands for comparison. I would still like to hear from anyone who has tried the Sportsman guide factory second mil spec gortex boot. Not sure who manufactures these

another vote for danners, i stand in mine at least 15 hours a day, and they feel like gym shoes, would not buy anything else

I think I am leaning toward the Danner Acadia. I like both the black with gortex and the desert issue. Someone tell me how these run as far as sizing. Big, small or what as I will order without trying on. I appreciate all the great responses. My feet will thank you later.

The Matterhorn, while a knockoff of the Danner boot, is a good boot for the money. I've had three pairs since 1988 and they're relatively durable.
You'd do better with the Danners (the stitching is better), but they're about $100 more, IIRC. The Corcoran "Jump Boots" aren't Gore-Tex and won't keep you warm, but they shine up very well for a "dress" boot. |

I have only worn them about two days now and am very impressed so far. |

I have heard that the desert boot does not run as narrow as the black/brown ones. |

I have some Danner Radicals.
[url]http://www.danner.com/products.asp?catid=11&prodid=1887[/url] Steel toe for work, comfortable, light, uninsulated yet kept my feet warm in subzero arctic winter conditions for a six hour stretch. |

Another Danner fan here. After getting my first pair earlier this year I tossed out most of my other boots. The Danners are SO comfortable.

Well, I ended up with Matterhorn desert boots model #3000 with gortex. These look like the Danner desert boots but have gortex. They are very comfy and look great. Thanks to all for the input.
