I wear my wellies for several hours every day walking the dog and working outside and I just got some muc boots as they have a decent grippy sole, keep my feet warm, dry pretty quickly when they get wet, grip in the slop and are comfy. Downside is they only last 2 year or so, before they split on my back of my ankle.
Cheap shoes seem like a false economy to me, as wet feet and/or poor fit leads to blisters on ankles/calves which take ages to heal if you walk a lot as the boot will keep rubbing the skin off. Rigger boots are too sloppy for me, and the rigid sole isn’t great for walking, and walking boots are a PITA with the amount of mud and deep puddles where around by me as everything gets clogged up with crap.
My other half has Aigles and they have lasted 6 years with daily use, and only need replacing as they have a cut on the top from something dropping on them.
