I've moved to Alta Lone Peak 4's.  Zero drop didn't cause me any issues, and the toe box is very roomy.

Do you have the Gore Tex version?  I have the regular ones and was thinking about picking up the Gore version for when the grass is really wet in the morning, heavy rain or light snow before it's time to break out the insulated boots.

I have them and if you had gaiters you would be good to go

Picked up two pairs of footwear today. A pair of the Altra Lone Peak 4s, and a pair of the Salomon 4D 3Gtx. I tried on lots of boots and different sizes. The Salomon Ultras were a close second but just didnt fit quite right. Tried Lasportivas, way to narrow. The 4d's seemed to cup my heal exceptionally well and not slip at all on me. Took a 3 mile hill walk with the wife and kiddo this evening in the Altras and was impressed. Very comfortable. I was worried about the zero rise but I think it will be a good thing.

One interesting tidbit. I've worn the same size boots for the last 15 years, no issues. The last year and a half or so I've had pretty major toe issues. Got measured and found out my feet are a half size+ bigger than they used to be. Didnt know that was a thing.

I just got some Merril moab 2, due to this thread, I like them.

much better than my UA speed freaks 





Now I gotta see if I can wear them out!

I love Merrells,
My Moab II waterproofs have been relegated to yard work. They just wont die!
I use the Thermal Adventure 6 in. Ice and snow, for most of my hiking and hunting. Backup pair of Asolo GTXs.
And the Ascent Ride (goretex) for tennis shoes.
And Jungle Mocs slip-ons probably my favorite shoe, for anything requiring a outside job or in Hunting camp.
