Or should i say "good turkey hunting boot" as everyone has their own opinion on which is best. I'd like to keep it under $100.
I use the Gander Mountain Guide Series Rubber boots and change out the insole. They run about 30 bucks and insole is 10, I got two seasons out of my last pair, that is turkey, deer, dove, and duck hunting plus doing work in them around the properties I hunt and helping friends on theirs.

Danner pronghorn snake boot. Do a lot of walking in these Appalachian mtns and a snake bit would be a bad thing if far from the road and no cell reception. Great ankle support and these are actually decent at keeping water out. Unlike my old rockies.

I bought some Irish Setter Vapor Trek boots last spring. I was very pleased with them. They are still waterproof, but only time will tell how long that lasts.
If you want snake boots, the same boot in the snake proof version is the lightest snake boot I've ever handled. I would have bought them myself, but I don't like dealing with the long laces on snake boots.
I should have specified i want some ankle boots. I plan on buying a pair of snake gaiters to go with them as i am hot natured and i feel snake boots would get to hot. Also i can take the gaiters off on those cool days when snakes are unlikely to be out. As happy stated, i too do a lot of walking in these mountains and comfort would be number one on my list. I don't need insulation, and waterproofing wouldn't do much in a ankle boot.
I got a pair of these last year just for spring hunting.No waterproofing,some days I'd put plastic bags on my feet then the shoe...then again i never got in wet grass I was good.
I like em a lot,light as a pair of socks

It is going to be hard to buy a new pair of quality boots for $100 or less.
I've got a pair of lacrosse snake boots that were not much more than $100 and they've been great on their 2nd year.
A tad over your $100 request at $130 but I've really liked these much boots so far.

That's what I have. Mine are going on 5 years old now and still holding up. Much more comfortable that I thought they would be and when I'm chasing a hot gobbler, I don't want to think about what may be crawling around my feet.
Under armour valsetz. The lightest most comfortable boot I've ever owned. You will love them. They are around $130
Get a pair of the cabelas rubber boots. I guarantee you'll not beat their warranty.
I like the Lacrosse brand. Been wearing them for years now. Like the fact that they are the tallest rubber knee high boots out there at 18". Some times the field grass gets pretty tall and I hate wet feet!!! Mainly use their Burleys with the air bob soles.

Think hiking. . . Keen, Merrell, etc. . . . I like the Keen Gypsum Mids. . . only have about 6 or 7 pair. Alot of folks over look those brands because they're thinking hunting. . . Lacrosse, Danner, Rocky, Cabelas, UnderArmor, etc.
