Looking for a pair of leather boots now I guess...
It seems like people love their Kenetreks, but I'm not quite that rich.

Well, I hate to revisit this, but the Danners fit great, did an 11 mile hike the first day out... and they leaked the first day out. I really think a large part of it is the canvas/textile material and not so much the boot itself. I have this theory that the fabric wears into the Gore-Tex and rubs holes into it at the crease points (usually where my toes bend). I sent it back and they gave me my money back.

Yeah... I'm leaning that way.
Anyone ever tried the Lowa Tibet model? My gf has Lowas and loves them.
I have a pair of Danner RAT boots, that have been awesome, but they're too big for me. Can a good boot store take things down a size? I run out of lace room without double socks... I don't really need them shorter, I just need them to be able to cinch down tighter.

Lowa Tibet's are awesome boots. You should expect a break in period where they may not be comfortable and you might end up with some blisters. This is not uncommon with this style of boot.
You might look at these Salomon's. Very popular and very good reviews.

Also take a good look at the Asolo Fugitive's.

Not uncommon to find smoking deals on Asolo's and even Lowa's sometimes on Sierratradingpost.com
