Whites Boots out of Spokan WA. hands down some of the finiest boots on the planet. I have used and abused most of the brands you guys have listed Vsasque and Meindle are great and stand behind their products, I am sure others do too. Danner let me down both in product and service so they are off the list for me. Whites are $$$ but built!!! I Whites for hunting and Wildland firefighting, the fire boots, Smoke Jumpers are beyond words for tough. they last 3-4 seasons on the fire line then you get them rebuilt. I have seen other name brand boots puke in a season and cheap boot puke in a fire. WHites are high end but if I had the money I would not own anyother brand!!! NO I do not work for Whites, Whites are built like Toyotas that is why I feel strongly about them.

They were $500 a pair when I was looking at them several years ago. They are $900 now and increasing to $1500 in January.... on top of that, you wait 6 months to get them.

My last pair of Danners lasted over eleven years, from the cold of Alaska to Monterey, the whole time in a wet marine environment. I did have to have them resoled several times and they are not light! I bought a new pair last year and will probably by them again in another ten years.
