It might be worthwhile to check out some boots marketed toward military personnel. There’s LOTS of opinions out there about military boots because tons of us wear them.
I know Danner makes very nice boots. I wore the Reckoning cold weather version and loved them so much. They’re lined with goretex to keep the wet and the cold out as best as possible.
I wore them nonstop for about 2 years. Every regular day of work, weeks or months in the field, even climbing Mount Fuji. Those things lasted a long time until I replaced them with…
the Danner Jungles, which are very much the opposite of cold weather boots. They’re made for hot and wet climates. I love these even more but that’s probably because they’re designed specifically for this type of area.
