I've been wearing the Cabela's kangaroo-skin upland boots for years for just this very reason: they fit perfectly, and they've never changed the style. I think I've gone through five pairs the past twenty years. I can usually get them re-soled once before the boot itself begins to fall apart.

A lot of people around here use trail runners. I like the extra ankle support of an actual boot. Go with what fits well and is comfortable.
