best pair ive ever had are the cabelas outfitter series, 600gram insulation 12in high. i have never gotten wet with them things and have hiked 18miles in a day with them and my feet were fine. only cost 169 too, its alot i guess but way worth it

another good boot is irishsetter elk trakkers, my dad got a pair and so far have worked well for him, bout the same price
