I have had Hathorns(economy whites) for years now in fact I finally had to buy another pair last year. My old pair circa 1999 were finally unrebuildable, they lasted 4 resoles that I can remember.
I tried some LaSportiva Glacier WLF boots before going back to Hathons. The only problem with them was heal hot spots after 3 days of wearing them hunting. They are up for sale if interested size 44.5.
