I've been very happy with Filson Uplanders for over 10 years, run true to size, cork liners, insulated or not. List at $375-425 but readily available as seconds in their stores or on eBay.

Here's a pair of size 10's for $329.

I thought I would try a pair of Russells so I waited for the Vintagers 10 years ago ad had them measure me there. They showed up several months later and I couldn't get my foot into them. I'm a 10D and never have had a problem getting boots that fit but these boots would have been better suited for a 9.5. There's still a brand new pair of Sheephunters in a box downstairs. Anyone interested contact me if you are a 9-9.5.


My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
