Good rugged hunting boots that come in a size 7 mens?

I'm not in dire need of new boots immediatly, but I've always had a problem with finding good hunting boots that wont get so easily wet on the inside, even when treated with mink oil.
Just finished deer hunting for the season, soon to start on elk, and this weekend my boots failed to keep my feet dry when walking through wet wheat stubble. I currently use georga boots, and they're not as good as I thought they would be.
Originally I wanted to get Irish Setters Elk Trackers like my dad and all his hunting friends has, but they just don't make them that small, so I just got whatever resembled them enough in a size 7 mens.
Mens boots because I've never been impressed with the selection of any women's hunting boots I've seen online and in stores. The quality just doesnt seem to be there, and its mildly insulting because I hunt extremely hard. The only boots that have never failed me is an old pair of Wolverines, but the tread is so worn down now that I can't consider using them anywhere other than flat ground.
Any pointers to boots I'm looking for putvtyere? Or a company that might be able to do customs?

I think kennereks do, but you’d have to confirm. I got my wife like a size 5 ladies in them so I would think so

Most men's hunting boots start at size 8.
As mentioned above, Kenetrek makes a women's line-up that might work depending upon the width of your feet. Scarpa, which I swear by, and other serious mountain hunting boots, also have women's sizes.
Something to consider...a lot of Gore-Tex membrane-type boots have a liner that is not really bonded to the outside of the boot, whether it's leather or technical synthetics. Water will readily penetrate the exterior and be forced up against the water barrier membrane. This of course can and does eventually fail (I burned through 4 pair of Kene's in 3 years and they all leaked like a sieve). But, oftentimes that membrane just "feels" wet if you were to reach in and touch it with your hand, especially if it's cold outside, but is actually doing a decent job of keeping you from getting soaked. And, you might just be feeling your own perspiration since the osmotic and heat differential that the membrane requires can't work optimally and keep up.
Good luck finding a boot that will work for you. If you live on the westside, you might duck into Feathered Friends and see what they have available. REI is just down the street. Once you get the right size, you might be able to find them online for a better price.

Meindle makes women specific boots. I have a pair I've been wearing for hunting about 5 years and am really happy with the quality of them.

Sierra.com, look at Asolo footwear. They usually have a good selection of womens hiking boots and mens, discounted prices. My family has been very happy with Asolo, we own a pile of them.
