As I get older, the balls of my feet have spread. The only boots I've found that really fit me well are Keenes. I have a pair of their Targhees that fits me great and should last me as long as I can still elk hunt. They probably aren't as rugged as many of you like but fit is crucial.

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
― George Orwell

It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
