Army boots are good, quite a lot of variety these days, from heavy to light. They can be good value.
Personally I wear the MOAB vented shoes and Sealskinz waterproof socks, that works best for me. Means I can use them in all conditions. The Sealskinz are odd in that after a while I think my socks underneath get wet, maybe through swet if not leaks, but they are like a wetsuit and keep my feet warm and comfortable.
