I’ve had a pair of Salomon GTX for 6 years now, really comfy and waterproof although sole is a little flexible.
AKU (& indeed the Solomon) were really popular with ‘Them’, mate who’s a stores sergeant was regularly getting them in, it was his recommendation that made me get the Salomons.
My winter boots are a pair of Raichle, although I believe they are now owned by/branded as Mammut. Good stuff soles, hard wearing uppers and will take a crampon if needs be bit they are overkill for low level hiking/walking really.
Replacement pair of Meindl Burma Pros arrived - so again excellent customer service from Bramwell International and Meindl.
Hope these last longer than the last two pairs!
My wife and a mate have both had Scarpa Terra 2's for the last couple of years and had no issues with them and they're still going strong and had good workouts in the Lakes and Peak District so when, last week, I wanted to get some new boots I looked at Scarpa Delta GTX's. I was a bit sceptical at first as Scarpa's seem to have a reputation for a narrow fit and I've got quite wide feet, but they fit like a glove. Not used them in anger yet but off to the Lakes next weekend so they'll get a good workout then. They came in at around the £200 mark from Go Outdoors. Only ever had cheap sub £100 walking boots before and to be fair they've always done me well, but on wet boggy day's do show their limitations so will be interesting to see how I get on with a more expensive boot.
Scarpa Deltas for me too. Had the Scarpa Rangers before but the Deltas are definitely a few levels above in terms of quality and comfort.
Also have some Asolo B2 boots that have been good.

That's odd, generally I'd say Scarpa has a reputation for being medium to high volume and quite wide.
I have a 20 year old pair of Brashers going strong .... but some new ones fell apart in a couple of years as did my wife’s new Brashers. Altbergs work for me now.
