Go to your local REI and get fit for a good pair of hiking boots. Scarpa, Crispi etc. Pass on the military boots.

get a decent pair of gaiters at REI too. I rarely wear insulated boots even in snow and wear gaiters and two pair of socks. Pick up some BD flip lock aluminum hiking poles ( on sale now REI) . Or buy used ski poles for $10. They'll work fine.

I wear trail running shoes (altras) for early archery season while hunting. $60 on sale. Solomons are good too. I bring a good pair of hiking boots along for pack in and pack out.
Walmart wrangler nylon pants $20 work great. Pick up 2 wool t shirts. They're amazing and don't stink
