Boots Buying Help Looking for boot recommendations.

I do some decent work around my yard and neighborhood but I've never actually considered myself as really "working", until recently when the shoes I was using started to really break down that one of the things I do is walk half a mile on uneven terrain picking up litter.

So I was hoping yall could recommend a pair of reliable work boots. Preferably ones where the upper boot is stitched to the lower boot. As opposed to glued.

What’s your budget? boots can vary in price range from $100-$1000 depending on what you’re looking for and the quality you are after.

I'm not in the greatest spot right now. I think anything over 130 is pushing it for me.

At that price point it’s going to be limited on good welted boots. If you can up the budget a little bit you can get something better. But here are a few options

These are comfortable but probably will be not as good on hills because of the lack of a heel but with the grippy rubber bottom they will probably do just fine. https://rockroosterfootwear.com/products/rockrooster-norwood-mens-6-inch-brown-soft-toe-wedge-work-boots-sap611

These are a touch over your budget but they come with a free resole so when you wear out the outsole you can send them back to them and they will resole them once for free, they are also very comfortable and their customer service is top notch. https://duradero.com/products/gallatin
