One hopes you're thinking of occasional use?

I got a good-fitting pair of Brahma insulated camo boots at Goodwill. I forget, but my usual price point is $8, I might have paid more. The leather laces failed so I need to replace them. As much as I've worn them they will last the rest of my natural life.

When I worked in construction I wore Danner boots. It took 45 minutes each evening to scrape and wash the mud off and give them a fresh coat of bear grease. Most comfortable were the $250 Tony Lamas I wore when I worked at Symantec.
