Can't go wrong with Merrels for me. Had quite a few pairs now, highly breathable, gortex membrane, decent sole and a decent allround shoe, like slippers

Meindl Mens Magic 2.0 GTX
Expensive, German engineering - but you'll never have to buy another pair for at least 20yrs . . .all others are poor imitations, these are the real deal

I went looking yesterday without success . Tried on some ‘moab' gtx's in a 9 as I'm normally an 8-9 but they were a little tight . Nowhere had any 9.5 or 10's . The quality however looked very good . Couldn't find anywhere that had the terrex swift's in stock but managed to find some terrex gtx A'3's again in 9's . These however were very tight and again no bigger size . Better luck next time perhaps , thanks .

I got myself a pair of terrex AX3 GTX I went half a size up and they are a snug fit. Do they give slightly when worn? If so I'll keep these if not I'll go a full size up

Hanwag, can certainly recommend. Wear mine every day for walking dogs throughout the Winter, comfy, waterproof and built to last.

Throwing a couple of other names into the mix, i replaced an old pair of Columbia that had served well as fishing boots for the last about 10 years with a pair of Keen boots - seem very well made, comfy and working well so far.
Outside of fishing use, i have a pair of Millet walking shoes that i would recommend

I have a pair of Scarpa gortex boots - they have been abused dog walking and fishing (and rarely washed/cleaned). Habe kept my feet dry in all conditions.
Would highly recommend.

After reading up on this forum, I went with a pair of MOAB's in size 13. Reviews on a couple of sites claimed that they had leaked but I still went with them. Before I used them I gave them a light spray with Grangers Footwear Repel and let it dry naturally. Been wearing them almost daily through farm fields walking the dog and feet have been bone dry.
More importantly, they are so comfortable. Really feels like wearing a pair of trainers.

With Adidas you have to go a size up. Worn old school adidas trainers all my life all ways liked the football casual look. So when Mark Tcarper on here recommended the Adidas Terrex walking shoes I had to have a pair. I've always been guilty of buying crap shoes for fishing and then wondering why they were falling apart after six months. Need to look after your feet gents. Spend as much as you can afford you wont regret it.
