Boot Recommendations

Thanks to everyone for there suggestions. Unfortunately dragged my feet for to long making this decision. Set of dovres turned up in the office, to be fair dont seem as bad as the last ones.
 
I've used Dovre Extreme GTX in the past but find the sole very stiff, currently have some Harkilla but already starting to crack. Any recommendations welcome, Zamberlan??
 
If you would prefer something with a more traditional foot-bed, ie a stitched welt/mid-sole/sole sort of thing, maybe have a look at the Brandecosse line, they're not all like that but about half are
I love my Brandecosse Brontolare boots, they're wide fit, tough, good old-fashioned leather boots. They are quite heavy though, and the foot bed isn't the softest, mine definitely benefitted from a swap out to more comfortable, cushioned insoles. They are such a generous fit that I can do that and still fit my essential in-shoe orthotic to my right boot. The fact that the lacing extends to down near the toe means that I can adjust each boot to fit, even with the added bits I mentioned.
They're maybe not something as discussed by HeymSR20 above, I don't know if they are crampon compatible (I doubt it) because I'm a soft southerner these days and have no need of such capability
I bought Brandecosse because I was fed up with trying to find specialist cobblers &/or boot-repairers who could or would repair the training shoe style boots such as Danners (my long-lasting former favourite brand), the likes of the Brontolare can be re-soled by any good traditional cobbler, and I'm lucky enough to live close to one of those
I still own two serviceable pairs of Danners, but use the Brandecosse all winter now, despite there being nothing really wrong with the Danners for the type of stalking grounds I typically find myself in. The Brontolares do fine whether I'm bimbling around field edges on a farm or hiking over a bit of Exmoor.
OK I've got owners bias, but I recommend that you at least take a look at the Brandecosse line up
Thanks for the review - am looking at a pair of the Tasso
