I've two pairs of Duckfeet boots. The Roskilde chelsea type and the Faborg unlined lace ups. Both incredibly comfortable and to my mind, v cool in a 'not Redwing' way. I also have some old redwings. Thing is, the crepe sole is super comfortable on the Duckfeet but wears down quite quick and when it does, hellishly slippy on wet pavement (or mopped floors in King hospital in Denmark Hill when carrying my 1 yr old - she bounced, I didn't). I've just had both resoled expertly with Dainite soles and expect a number of more years out of them. But the leather and upper construction are super strong and soft. Zero derision from me. @withered_preacher
@ChasnotRobert I've some Hanwag Tashi no goretex Yak leather boots. They're magic, light and uber comfortable.
At the pricier end I've also some no goretex, no concession, Schuh Bertl boots which are heavy, incredibly well made and I expect to have forever
