I've had good luck with some of the Cabelas brand boots as well as the Danners. For non-rocky conditions, I like the FullDraw Cabelas boots. They are light, GoreTex lined and flexible soled. For rockier terrain I like some Danner GTX's that I found somewhere. I also bought some tall zip up boots from Cabelas one wet SD phez season. They are comfy for flat walking but not for hills.
