I'm a big fan of the Rocky S2V. They are quite pricey but they will last a long long time and are the most comfortable combat boots on the planet. I now use a pair as my primary hiking/backpacking boots. I know soldiers who wore the same pair of S2V boots outside the wire on two tours in Afghanistan while their colleagues went through at least two pairs of SWAT or Magnum boots each tour.
Besides the boots, I would highly recommend Superfeet insoles. The cheap foam insoles that are shipped with all combat boots are worse than useless as poor foot-bed support is the mother of joint and low back problems.
