What hiking boots do you wear? [View all]

In the past I've had a pair of Columbia Sportswear Men's Pole Creek Omni-Tech Hiking Boot that I bought for hiking/general use in Hawaii because they were breathable and fairly water/mud proof. Now I've also had a pair of steel toe Rocky's. Now I'm rocking:

Merrell Men's Moab Mid Waterproof Boot - so far so good. Comfy, good traction, light-weight and breathable which is crucial here in SoCal.

What are you hoofing it in?
