I've worn browning boots for a long long time with the same results. The first pair were so comfortable that I wore the soles completely smooth and got another pair. I don't know how many miles I put on those old boots. They went with me to Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Oklahoma. And they too have crossed streams, stood in snow, rained on, bloodied, scatched from cacti and briars but never let me down or caused a blister. I still have both. When the weather is warm I wear a pair of the Bramaha (spelling) that you pick up at Walmart. These too are comfortable and I can walk all day in them if I have to.
But this year I just purchased a pair of Cabela's brand rubber boots, 17" zip up front and 800 gr thinsulate. They feel nice and snug around the ankle which was my biggest gripe about a rubber boot. I think I just might like them.
