Get yourself a pair of Wolverines with the duroshock sole. Like you I normally go through a pair a year with no problem, even in the Wolverines. The last pair however are still going strong going on the two year mark. I don't know what "model" number they are but their the tan colored pigskin ones with 200 grams of Thinsolate. I was kinda iffy on them at first because of the insulation, but my feet have been the most comfortable both summer and winter than they ever have. When it's hot there is just enough to wick the moisture away from your feet, and unless it's REALLY cold just enough to keep your feet comfortable when your active. Too the pigskin must be more waterproof than any of the other leathers because even when I've been slogging though mud all day, getting them oil soaked while working on a piece of equipment, etc my feet have yet to get even the slightest bit wet. The only thing I don't like is they have the bonded type sole and the edges tend to tear off in about 6 months if your constantly climbing on stuff and putting your whole weight on the edge of the sole. Beyond that you'll not find a better boot. Dad will wear nothing but them since he had to have his toe amputated due to an accident nearly 15 years ago. He says the Duroshock sole is the only one he has found that doesn't agrivate the scar tissue left over from the accident. Hope you find yourself a good boot. There is nothing worse on a man than coming home after a long day with his feet hurting from bad pair of boots.
