For decent quality at a low price look at surplus military boots, the ones I use are Meindl Combat Extreme often sold as German/Dutch army mountain boots.

Bought my first pair in 2020 and wore them daily walking the dog so early last year bought another pair so I can spread the wear and tear and if it's been really wet give them more time to dry out. They are goretex lined warm in winter and not too hot to wear even in summer, I'm a UK size 9 but in German shoes like these or adidas/puma I need to buy a half size larger, it's around £50-£60 for Grade 1 (very little wear) and £70-90 for Super Grade (practically new).

For other decent surplus boots there's Altberg, Haix and Lowa so lots of models and styles to choose from at a broad range of prices.

British army boots are made by Altberg, you can buy them direct from the manufacturer, or buy some of their lines much more suited to casual walking. For about £200.
