Absolute all-time favorites, the Corcoran BROWN cap-toe jump boot:

Built pretty much the same way since c1942 (mine made in Martinsburg, PA).
Cushioning? What?
Lugs? BAH!
Zipper? Huh?
Leather, rubber, nails, thread. All killer, no filler.

For daily wear, same thing, only black, lugged, & zippered:


Got both in 2002. Black ones resoled once, Brown going strong.
