I was wondering if anyone can comment on the quality of altama vs. corcoran boots. I recently tried on a pair of altama classic leather boots like these:

But they felt like they had a piece of folded up cardboard in the toe. I stuck my hand in and I could feel the deep ridges on my fingers. It felt like terrible quality to me. Maybe the pair I tried on was defective? My next boot to try on is the Corcoran. Let me know if anyone has any experience with a pair:

Some other alternatives I've seen suggested before are Carolina Boots (no longer makes combat style boots):

or WW2 reproductions made by "At the Front".
