Forget the Mouflon and the Harkila, Meindl is the way to go.

Massive fan of the Harkila GTX Mountain 10" boots, very comfortable even before "broken in" and I paid just over £100 as they were in the sale 
Mine have been through bogs, sodden ploughed fields, slurry and still waterproof and no failings on the boot so very very happy, bear in mind there are 2 types one with thermal lining and the other without, I have the non thermal one and even in the cold winter we had this and last year my feet were lovely and toasty with the right socks so unless you are doing so mid winter Scandinavia/ Eastern Europe then don't worry.

Quite literally just put my new Harkila pro hunter GTX 10" Kevlar boots on! Much nicer than my last pair. My last pair of Harkilas fell apart and I wasn't very happy so I spoke to them at the CLA they told me to pop them in the post to them to take a look at, we'll on receipt of them they rang me up and said they'll send me a new pair out directly and well here they are. Can't say fairer than that...

Lacks the name, if that's what you are after, but will do a good job.

Having just left the Royal Marines and tried out many different boots, in my opinion Hanwags were a first with Lowa at a VERY close second. I had the Hanwag GTX boots, brilliant.
I see there is mention of Altburgs on here, again very good boots. If you have time to wait, you can be measured up in the factory and have them taylor made. All these boots are great for stalking needs. Added to the mix is the Berghous YETI gaiters. These things are a must for any terrain. No other gaiter compares. Under these it doesn't matter what boot you have on aslong as their comfy.

+1 on the Berghaus yeti's I got a pair of surplus ones of ebay for £25 they have never been fitted brand new! I ordered another just incase pair last night... Yeti's new are at least £70+......

I bought a pair of expensive Berghaus boots and the matching pair of thermal waiters . ..Utter rubbish the rubber rand split within weeks and the lacing eyelet popped out of the boots ..now using Altberg, they are in a different league.

I think they are the Alaska model. The guy in the shop did mention that these were the ones issued to some RM lads. When I bought them I had all the big name boots out, to be honest, I could have happily walked out with lowas or meindles.
Lowas for UK weather ,AKU Desert for hot climates.
For get le chameau no where near as good as they used to be. A big +1 for Meindl Dovre
