I've been really happy with this pair of Garmont.

They are durable, waterproof(Gore-Tex), and they don't make my feet hot like the Merrells did.
BTW, stay away from the Merrell Moabs. They are also Gore-Tex, but have a known issue with leaking and later splitting around the soles. The Garmonts are not cheap, but you really do get what you pay for.
You said it! I have a pair that I got end of last summer & I've had to shoe goo them a couple times already because the shoe is tearing away from the sole. They are one of the most comfortable shoes I've owned but didn't hold up like I thought they would for $120. But hey, I had a gift card that paid for most of it & I know they aren't actually made for DG
