Ever try Timberland Pro Titian?
No. I settled on combat boots as being "good enough". Keep in mind when I say the boots weren't comfortable, that should be translated as "I didn't wear them out of choice". I prefer being barefoot, but boat shoes are ok, especially when well worn.
The big problem I had with boots, is they got trashed fast, and there was little you could do to protect them. 2 years was about the maximum length of time, and that was pushing it. By then, I usually had holes in the leather, and walked on dirt most of the day :^D
$300 boots, or $100 boots, they lasted the same amount of time, and couldn't be rebuilt due to leather damage. I'd occasionally try the better(but cheap) import boots from eastern Europe, but they wouldn't last. I think my record time for destroying boots was 3 months for a pair of Hermanns if I remember right. Pissed me off cause they felt pretty good.
I'd always keep my eyes open at closeout stores and stuff, and buy boots when they were available. That way I could get American made boots for not too much money. That's a big reason I liked combat boots. They were tall so I could tuck my BDUs in the top(keeps out dirt, and bugs), and I live near an army base, so they'd turn up used, but in like-new condition fairly frequently.
I'm out of the business now, and very seldom wear boots, but will throw them on when I have heavy work, or deep snow to travel in.
