Military jungle boots (canvas uppers with leather lowers with drain holes) and sealskinz water blocker socks. I've used them extensively on canoe trips with alot of portages in the Canadian Crown Lands and the Boundary Water Canoe Area Wilderness of Minnesota. The BSA Northern Tier High Adventure programs require the jungle boots and in 30 days of using them (3 different ten day treks), I never had a blister or problem with my feet. The added ankle support prevents any ankle or foot injuries from rocky bottoms. Just remember that it's just really important to dry out your feet at the end of the day, and pack extra camp shoes, camp socks, and use foot powder every day to avoid trench foot.
