As a self confessed boot addict and hiker, the best walking/hiking boots are Meindl, Lowa or Hanwag, any of these are tough, waterproof and are good over rough ground, but they are expensive - generally your talking £100+,
ive got an old pair of Meindl Burma Pros that I stuck a few wading studs in for extra grip and they work a treat on wet rock so I suppose you could do the same with any hiking boot providing the sole is thick enough
recently was bought a pair of these and they don't seem bad but ive only had them a couple of months so time will tell,
