I need a new pair of boots. I wear them everyday for at least 12 hours, and have come to enjoy a light weight hiker with most if not all bell's like GoreTex, Vibram soles, etc.
I finally blew out my Merrell's I purchased over 5 years ago. They were just under $150 iirc and seriously kick ass. My foot never hurt and was never cold (until they blew out).
I'm trying to see what I can get for a little less, but since I wear them everyday I'm not gonna skimp.
I'm almost on the verge of ordering, at $185 it's more then I was planning on spending but looks incredibly well made :

More reasonably at $125 (and most comparable to what I'm wearing now) is something like:
