[Closed] Mid-height walking boot/shoe that can also be used on MTB

I know this question has been asked before, but prices change and some models no longer exist so;
What's a good Mid-height walking boot/shoe that is comfortable for walking a few off road miles in and can also be comfortable and decent enough to be used on MTB.

Really don't want to spend more than £100, waterproof isn't a high priority but probably a nice extra (though I think waterproof ones tend to be much hotter).

Anyhow, any suggestions of what is currently a good buy?

Have done a couple of combined bikepacking and hillwalking trips in five ten exum guides. Pretty good on flat pedals with decent pins and [i]very[/i] good on rocky terrain when walking and scrambling.

Not very waterproof, and pretty rubbish on wet grassy ground as they have quite a rounded edge compared to something with a vibram walking boot sole, but they seem like a pretty good compromise to me.

I've had a couple of pairs of Keen mid-height boots that I've done a lot of riding in.
They've been really good. Targhee II is one model, can't remember the other model but they make lots that look similiar.
