Look for the following features:
1. GORE-TEX® lining.
2. Vibram® outsole
3. Stitchdown construction (not just glued)
4. Full-grain, all-leather upper (not split grain, not "nubuck").
Though many, including myself, dislike Gore-Tex in a boot.
It requires a different construction method, which leads to the boot not
lasting as long, can create a sweatier environment, starts leaking
fairly quickly and then does a good job of keeping the water *in*.
Unfortunately, Gore-Tex-less boots are getting harder and harder to find....
Gore-Tex YUK!!!
