Good LOCAL source for boots?

[Sawin]

I am creature of habit and tend to buy Salomon boots from wherever I happen upon a pair in my size, while out with the wife... or if I need one quickly just get them online since I know how they fit my feet already. I'm a huge fan, but admit they're not in the "work boot" category. They're a hiking boot. Some are thicker/warmer than others, but every pair I've owned has been a great value.

I'm consigned to buying mostly Merrell for hiking/shooting/general purpose "boots" due to my duck feet. They're comfortable enough for what they cost, but the outer materials (toe caps) are pure crap. $145 for these and the chicom "rubber" toecap will be trash falling apart in 4-5 years.
