I spent $22 at WalMart for a pair of (single-purpose) hiking boots that I've
been very happy with:
- 100% man-made materials ... so nothing to rot ... I rinse 'em off with a
hose when I get home and turn them upside down to drip dry til the next time
- good high-ankle support so I don't turn my ankle when I slip
- well-cleated Vibram-type heavy sole protects my feet from bumps (and
ensures I have an easy-to-follow trail to follow back to the veeehickle)
- lace-ons, so when I finally manage to pull my leg out of the unexpectedly
soft muck that's above my knee, the boot comes too.
- don't get much gravel sneaking in to annoy my delicate soles
However, I collect mostly in Florida, so protection from severely cold water
isn't a priority.
Works for me, YMMV.
