Lowa Tibet for a heavier boot, but dang good in all around hunting. Also on the lighter side, Salomon quests. Do your feet a service and use darn tough socks and a real boot.

I put the same insoles in tibets and quests and very happy. Tibets are pricey, look at shoe.com and others for 20-30% off. My buddy laughed at me for 2 seasons about my Tibets and he ended up buying now 3 pairs.
Socks stay away from cotton and crap, get quality wool socks you can get lighter ones for summer and little thicker for winter if you want. I run the same sock year around from darn tough. I even use wool socks (very thin pair) when i offshore fish using my alaskan sneakers XtraTuff boots,
Want to make your head spin, go read on rokslide.com about boots. I ordered about 13 pairs of boots all at once and tried them on from a ton of companies. After that experiment I found that Lowas was the best for my foot. I am a wide and even if a company says its a wide, they weren't wide enough.
Yes, your foot will grow in your 40s but all other stuff shrinks, not sure why
