combat boots
Belleville 390's for warm weather, Belleville 795's for cold weather. I think these are the best boots you can get for your money. I do all of my rucking in 390's, and they are great both on the road and over terrain. I sent a pair in for resoling with a ripple sole at militarybootrepair.com, and bought a new pair to break in for selection in November. I will swear by these boots until I am proven otherwise.
I am also a big fan of Rocky S2V's. I bought these about a year and a half ago, and have worn them for patrols in Iraq and field problems at Ft. Lewis. They have a great insole (feels like a sneaker), good outsole (still can walk on rocks and hard surfaces without hurting your feet), and fantastice ankle support. They also have a neoprine construction with monotongue for the upper. It pulls the sweat away from your feet very well. They run aroun $160, but are worth it.
Pulling a page out of Warrior-Mentor's book, buy boots made in America. They are likely to be more expensive but made better and more durable. Thanks.
