I used to swear by Danners but became tired of paying carriage & inport duties plus all the other hassle of obtaining them
Switched to Brandecosse and never regretted it - great boots
The Brontolare are excellent, around £300, and I haven't come close to wearing them out in two years, still waterproof and very comfortable despite being so tough. They're very supportive too, being high ankle without becoming ridiculously high - so, not a total PiTA to lace up, unlike some other "high-leg" boots can be (including some Danners)
I liked them so much that I bought a pair of Capriolo for everyday/town boots and Fagiano for lighterweight but tough boots
I like them all, the Capriolo are a little less tough than I'd like, but then again I don't wear them in rough country - that's where the Brontolare live
If you're thinking of Brandecosse, send in an enquiry via their "contact us" link (if you can't find it I can provide you with an email address) and talk to Jane at their sales department. She'll give you reliable advice on fit etc
