i'd say i'll spend a hundred bucks, max. right now i play in new balance trail runners, and they're great 'tactical' woodland shoes, but i'm just asking to break an ankle and the bug bites on said ankles are getting ridiculous, also.
i really have no idea where i should look. i believe i was issued well and bates boots in the military, and if that was any indicator, i do not want well or bates boots. though they were durable as hell, i could still wear them, but they're HEAVY and i've suffered enough blisters from them already.
that said, what brands should i look at? and how does the sizing work? i wear a 13 wide (EE or EEE, probably) in sneakers, but i believe i wore either a 12 wide or 12 medium in boots. i think i still have a pair of 13 wides that are HUGE. is there any rule to boot sizing, or should i buy locally so i can try them on?
