Need New Boots
My current pair of Vandal boots from Danner is beginning to become worn. The stitching on one has popped, and I'm beginning to get holes in the Vibram soles. They had a good run, lasting six months before falling to my propensity to wear boots out faster than any other living human being.
There are a few options I am considering... but other ideas are definitely encouraged.

I like these because they're made in the USA, have Vibram soles, and are priced similar to what most companies import. The only issue I see is they don't appear to have much of a heel, which I am accustomed to and fond of.

These are getting excellent reviews on their website. I like that it appears to have more of a heel. The downside- they're imported, and don't have Vibram soles.

These are made in the USA. I have not owned Belleville before, but have heard good things. Vibram soles, big plus in my book. Steel toe is the downside for me.
I am seriously considering (probably about 90% likelihood) of attempting to join the Marine Corps in the next month or so. A good pair of boots that I could eventually use in that role (compliant with uniform requirements) is a big plus, although not absolutely necessary.
Experience, thoughts, comments, complaints, criticisms, advice? Thanks.
