I was a huge fan of Vasque's and bought a new pair this spring, but then started reading reviews and found when they switched production from Italy to China they started having major quality problems.
Irish Setter's don't fit my feet well, so I went with Merrill Outbound Mid and love them. They took no break-in time.
No matter what boot you buy, replace the insole (actually Lathrop & Sons is the one that told me that).
