Top Brands
The top brands are Trabaldo, Crispi, and Orizo . All Italian since I found out about them from an Italian but these are genuinely the best brands. It's better to spend extra on good clothes than having an issue mid hunting trip or needed to replace them often. Once you've put in the time, effort, and money into a hunting trip, you want everything to go smoothly
Durability
The good brands will last long but not forever. Some people will say “they don't make them like they used to, I've had my boots for 50 years” and that's true, it's planned obsolescence, but hunting gear gets pushed more than regular wear and tear. If you go hunting 10-20 weekends a year which isn't uncommon for small game, then your boots might last 5-10 years if they're good quality. If you rarely go out then they'll last longer. So it's not like you'll buy once and never again, but they will last.
