My fiance likes Sorel and Baffin for outdoor work.

Myself, eh, I use what I've learned to trust my life with in military situations, the good ol' M1949 Matterhorns and Danner Fort Lewis (what I am wearing right now as a matter of fact). I know they have their limitations, but throw a quality set of gaiters on over them, and I feel comfortable going anywhere.

A word of caution, however...I bought my last pair of Matterhorns from the Brigade Quartermaster catalog. They look like any others except there is a BQM "archer" logo stamped into the leather on the outer heel area. And...the outermost sole layer likes to come loose at the edges! I returned the first pair I got for a second, still does the same thing, I have learned to live with it and keep the sole in place with some SuperGlue every once in a while. Other Matterhorns never did that to me.

They just don't make quality anymore just quantity.
