My wife has a pair of Meindl Island Pros. They are a leather lined boot with a nice rand on them. We got these from AJ brooks and have been very happy with them for the minimal use she puts them through. I have had a couple pairs of Alico boots from Sierra Trading Post and been very happy. Unfortunelty my feet decided to drop and gain a half size. I am now using a pair of Danner Canadians that I will replace them with a proper pac boot eventually, a pair of leather lined Lowas and a pair of Scarpa Fuegos. My Lowas get the most use as they do more things well than the others. Boots like so many pieces of gear can be very specific to the task at hand.
