If you want boots that loggers and smokejumpers have used for a generation, try a pair of White's Smokejumpers. White's make great packer boots and just general work boots as well. I have a couple pair and I'll probably never need to buy boots again.
My teenage son wears Danner Go Devil boots. They are real nice boots, but for long-term, hard use, it would be hard to find something better than White's. (Subjective of course) Also, it's tough to spend top dollar on boots for a growing kid's feet.
White's aren't cheap, (approx $375) but they'll last many years and then they can be completely rebuilt so you can start over. They are also built to fit your individual feet.
For something you use all day, every day, like your feet, White's boots aren't that expensive.
If you like a hiking boot style, look at Peter Limmer boots. Also top-quality footwear.
