Boots: What are you wearing?

This winter I'm looking for a good pair of boots. I've always been a Dr. Martin kind of guy but looking for something different to change it up a little bit. What boots do you guys like? Do you have some favorites? What are you wearing?
 
Mainly a Dr. Martin guy here, so not much use to you if you want something different:

Also have a pair of CATs similar(ish) to these:

Tempted to treat myself to a pair of the "For Life" DMs. Lifetime warranty would certainly get used.

Dr. Martin's have been my boot of choice for some time. Still like them and I may still get a pair this year. I'm trying to see if there is something I'm not aware of that I may like better.
 
Lowa Mountain Boots or Altberg Bergen Boots - none of these half ass girls shoes like DM's - get some real boots! :)

Whoa! Those are some serious boots. I work in an office so these would be a little overkill for my needs. I'm looking for something a little more casual but good for snow and ice that we get around here during the depressing season. :hmm:

Thanks for all the responses. I'm checking things out as the suggestions roll in.

I think I need a new pair of hillwalking boots for the upcoming winter, if it's meant to be a bad one (my last pair didn't recover from the bad winter a couple years ago).

Though for general day to day use, I don't like thickly lined boots, feet sweat like mofos!
 
Frye engineer boots, got four pairs of them and they are great! They are all i wear, al year long.
The oldest ones are 6 years old, been re heeled once and still going strong...
The gaucho ones are my favorite, once worn in they look really cool, mold to your feet like no other.

If i lived in a place where it gets real cold i would buy a pair of shearling ones to, here in the UK it's just a recipe for sweaty feet

I dont wear boots often, but when I do, they are Doc Martens.
I need to get some new insoles for mine, and give them a good polish.
