Any suggestions as far as footwear goes?

I'm thinking of going for boots with mid ankle support. No Goretex or waterproof membrane because that makes them way too hot. I have a pair of Keens that are pretty great as far as comfort, but not so good for durability. I like the soles on my boots to have some stiffness to them, but yet have some flexibility too. Beyond that, I'm pretty open.

Any suggestions for my upgrade?
 
I just started wearing Oboz last fall and I love them.. REI carries them I would fully suggest giving them a try.

I also love my Oboz Windriver Boots. Great sturdy boots with lots of ankle support.
I found them last year in my local EMS store, tried them on and they fitted perfectly. I bought them immediately and it's the first pair of hiking boots I'm really happy with.
