I have a few pairs in the loft, as well as Hill Shoes. Your post has prompted me to dig them out.
I used to wear nothing but, however new style light weight gore text boots and my laziness destined them into retirement!
i still have boots that have been resoled 6 times!! I have Hoggs as well as Maybole Boots which are made from horse hide.
I'll post some pics, for those who haven't come across traditional sprung boots, they are heavy ( 7lbs a pair!) and are not fully water proof.
