I just got two pair of Dickies, for boots as cheap as they were, I am extremely happy with them. Leather uppers that are stitched, not glued or welded to the soles. I like a pair of boots you can resole, about the time you have the uppers broke in, it seems you have walked through the bottoms.
I have had these Dickies for almost two months and they are comfortable and relatively light weight. Take a look at a pair at a local store and see if they work for you as well.
Of course they are not Tacticool so you won't look like you just got off the plane from Basra, but that is not a criteria I use in purchasing clothing.
