Cambrelle isn't a boot manufacturer. They make linings for boots.

Bates make good duty boots. They are comfortable for walking around base. They do have some models that look like they would be good in the bush. I have never used them, but they do have a good rep in the military. Gore is pretty strict with companies that use their product. This means that if a company has the goretex logo, then they perform similarly to other boots that have goretex in them. This only relates to waterproofing. I have no clue if the actually boot is good.

I shop at the army surplus on Redwood all the time. I would never buy boots from there. Sportsmans has better ones for less money, and a bigger variety of sizes with each model.

Oh yeah, if you are looking for something cheaper than REI, you really need to check out Recreational Outlet. They are the Harbor Freight of the outdoor retailer stores.
