This is a tough question to answer in my opinion because aside from quality construction, fit and comfort are highly individual perceptions.
I say that because my feet have liked the relatively cheap, Cabela’s, non-insulated’s Mountain Hikers. They have or did have leather, and synthetic versions and I’m on my fourth pair.
They are lightweight, waterproof and I use them for pheasants in IA and SD and did for twenty years in the mountains for elk.
