I got a pair of uninsulated Herman Survivors from Walmart about 3 years ago for $39. They are great boots, waterproof and still do fine for summer boots. There is a Walmart about 20 miles from here, I may check them out as well.

I like Red Wings. The pair that I have now is 10 years old and they are still comfortable and waterproof (wear them mostly on weekends). They have held up well, had them re-souled a couple of years ago. I wear them winter and summer. I'm not sure whether they are insulated but they are fairly warm. They have some kind of lining in them.

My boot search is over! I have an order on the way from Cabelas. I ordered a pair of Rocky ATV hunting boots. I got the black ones, I can use these when I ride my dual sport motorcycle also. All for $90 plus I get a $20 coupon.

Don't overlook the plain old rubber go-loshes.
Developed foot problems years ago and could only find one shoe that I could stand being in. Gave up trying to find boots.
I am still wearing this same model low cut shoe, year around, no matter if it is 90, or 32 degrees below the donut. (Night before last) I own a pair of rubbers, a pair of 10 inch, and a pair of knee high go-loshes. (Rubber overshoes)
If I am going to be out but still - on tractor etc, I make sure that all is dry before starting. But normally I am moving all day long. The boots do not breath and If I stop too long it results in cold feet. I Take them off and change socks, or in extreme temps. where stopping = getting cold anyway, I will just keep working.
Any way it works for me. Even wearing them everyday during the winter, I get 1 -2 years out of them.

Sherpa,
Great find on those "multi-tasking" boots. They look like just the right ticket for your activities. Let us know how you like 'em after you try 'em.
Have you ever tried Kushitani boots for road bike riding? They are spectacular.

so much depends on what you want to do in the boots, lots of walking, sitting still etc. i use timbrlands for when i am walking and it is not to wet, for sitting or plowing snow or for short walks i like the rubber boots with the removable felt liner. course as i am getting older i don't walk or hunt that much so the felt liner works for me. proper socks (layered) are just as important.
