I've got a set of Altama ExoSpeed side-zips, and set of Altama ExoSpeed II 8"(Stay away from their Sage color, it's screaming mint green!), and a pair of Gore-Tex Magnum Stealth II's. The size zip ExoSpeeds are, hands down, the most comfortable, longest lasting boots I have ever owned. I should have got another set, instead I figured the ExoSpeed IIs would have to be better, right? Nope, still very good boots, but not as comfy at the originals. The Magnums rank a distinct third, but they're waterproof, so they have their use. Of course, I can also chuck on a pair of SealSkinz socks under the ExoSpeeds when it's wet out...
