I second Tejano on the Alico boots. I have three pair, light hiker, heavier hiker, and 10" insulated hunter. They happen to fit me perfectly and are very well made and durable. Minimal break in required. You can get modern style with gore-tex type lining and rubber rand, or old school leather with stitched welt. I have found the old school stitched welt boots to be quite water resistant. Sierra Trading Post is the only place I have ever seen them. Prices are great, even better with the periodic sales at STP.
