Old School-style Hiking Boots?

    Hello all. I recently checked out my hiking boots and, candidly, they've seen better days. So I am looking for a new pair. I see a lot of whiz-bang new styles, but they don't really appeal to me. Call me old fashioned if you like, but I prefer older styles. Can anyone recommend a make that is:
    • Made of leather. I'll waterproof them myself.
    • Plain and simple, older style. Think hobnail boots of yore.
    • Provides good traction.
    • Cost isn't a big factor, but crazy expensive isn't good either.
    • Made in US men's size 10½.
    Anyway, thanks much for any ideas. Know it is appreciated. :)

    I will have to think on this one as I am in the process of getting new gear as well. But I didn't want you to think that nobody cared enough to answer your post. Have you checked out the llbean website, it has many good choices to take a look at. :)

    Thank you 2sweed. I hadn't looked at LL Bean. Since posting, I found a good pair on ShoeBuy. So far they are holding up well, even with working out in some nasty weather.

    Your welcome, glad to try and help. :)
    Other sites for future reference would include: campmor or Carbelas, and Basspro Shops or REI. All have good quality merchandise.
