Given that I'm hard on footwear, and have certain orthopedic and podiatric issues, I don't have any boots at your price point.
I can say however that, for me, spending the coin on good quality footwear has paid huge dividends. I would rather carry a little heavier sleeping bag than use boots that won't stand up to the rigors I put them through. For me the various Wildland Firefighter Boots have worked best as a hunting boot.
