walking boots-- which are good?

The problem with that line is that no military bothers with goretex lined
boots.
There has to be a reason for that.
Absolutely. And it's not just cost factor either.
They had trouble with trench foot in the Falklands - not because the boots
weren't waterproof but because the water came in over the top, which NO
membrane of any sort will prevent.
