I agree with Kinkyboots views about fabric/leather boots, I have bought 3, or is it 4, my brain is beginning to become confused about thow many? Anyway, every pair has leaked. The one thing I have liked about every pair is that all of them were supremely comfortable, a real joy (when my feet were dry) to walk in.
Alongside these fabric/leather boots, I have had all-leather boots and have always bought Berghaus Superlights and have no real complaints about their waterproofness, comfort or ability to walk a long way in them. My last pair, in November 2018 finally gave up after two years and leaked. The two previous Superlights boots I owned never did, the soles just wore out. The boots also stayed comfortable when hiking with my rucksack on my back. I also prefer to wear midi-boots, I tried higher ones (Salomon 4D's) but they just cut into my lower leg. I like hiking shoes as well but not necessarily for hiking in.
I'm a hiker who tries to have a maximum spend of £120 and so far have always just about managed to get away with it. My Superlight's have taken me on the flat, up and down hills, up and down mountains and over long distances, e.g. Pennine Way. I recently bought a new pair. I did a minor change, instead of buying size 7, (or was it 7.5?) this time I bought size 8. I always insert Sorbothane's into them and the 8's seem at the moment are just that much more comfortable. Hopefully this comfort will last.
