Default walking boots-- which are good?

I wouldnt, they are much too long for walking far.

There is a reason the military dont use them anymore.

If a dander across the local farmlands had a significant degree of
commonality with a 30 mile forced march with a 30 kg pack then that'd be
a good point...

Gamekeepers etc. are happy to work in them, covering that sort of land
all day, every day. If they're good enough for them, they're probably
good enough for us.
