Belleville, they are by far the most comfortable boots I've ever worn by a long shot.

I would not bother with the T-6's. They cost a bundle, are heavy and I hated them.
Garmont does make a hiking boot (can't remember the name) that cost less and my feet love them. PM me if you really need the name. They are primarily tan in color and black and come either with or without Gortex.

I have a few pairs of tan rough out Bellevilles that were priced right (issued) but I also sport Vibram Fivefingers when it's warm out.

I picked up a pair of Lowa Zephyr mid cuts in Goretex about 2 weeks ago. So far they are the most comfortable hiking boots I've owned. Been wearing them every work day and out to the range on a few occasions. I plan on hiking in them a lot this year.
I have 2 pair of Ascics Gel Nimbus 10s, one for walking around/every day use, one dedicated to running.

Depends upon what I'm doing, of course. That said ...

I was hoping to pick up a pair during the February garage sale but of course, no dice. I talked to a sales associate and he said that NOBODY that he knows of in the North Seattle area is returning this boot. I probably should have waited a couple of weeks to use my dividend on them, but I REALLY needed waterproof boots for this job I'm doing in Canada.

Go4broke.
You are completely correct with the KEEN Targhee II Mid's. I have a pair I wear on and off duty and am looking at getting another pair here shortly. The toebox is huge and allows the foot to have plenty of room without being a blister concern. The down side to these are the cost, for being none technical the $125 tag you often find them at is a bit steep.
On a side note I just saw a photo online somewhere of the new issue boots to go with the Multicams for AFG, these are Danners in what looked like a brown sued with a black high sidewall, they look sharp!
