Looking for some recommendations on a good pair of non-insulated boots that are less than $150 if possible, what is everyone using?
 
I like my Keen waterproof hikers but I find they are noisy in dry stuff so I usually wear my rubber soled work boots. They are quiet. The Keens have harder soles and sound like Crocs in dry grass and leaves...
 
Lowa Taurus is about$50 more. Havent worn that boot but have been wearing Renegades for about 5 years now and they are a super comfortable boot. My everyday boot.
 
Picked up the Crispi Thor II's last year and love them. got them on FB for $200
 
They're not fancy but the Rocky S2V fit my feet better than anything else. I've had the pair on my feet for 4 years now, although I don't wear them every day. Brief search engine suggests they clock in right at $150. Pop in some rigid orthotics and I expect you'll have no problem on sticks or ROS or whatever giving you hot spots on longer sits..
 
Muck Apex Mid-Zip.
like them so much I have two pairs, one for hunting one for everyday use. want a third, extra pair for hunting. Really waterproof and no breaking in necessary. Price is usually under $120, I paid $90 and $60.

I just ordered Lacrosse Clearshot boots this morning from Sportsman Warehouse. They have 50% discount code with quite a few pairs of boots. The boots I ordered were already on sale and with the code were about $65 total. Delivered to house.
 
I got a pair of these last year at the Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg. So far, they've been great early season boots! They are insulated, but so far in the warm weather, my feet haven't been too hot.

Is the code still valid?
 
I wear Under Armor Valsetz for work. If I didn’t already have a good pair of boots for hunting I’d buy another pair of these for hunting. They are stupid comfortable, almost like wearing sneakers and have a fairly aggressive tread pattern. They’re like $125 but if you’re military or LEO you can apply your 40% off discomfort and get them for much less. They have some padding but aren’t insulated.
 
I bought a pair of Danner Panorama a couple months ago for half price. They’re normally $150ish. I’ve been really impressed with them in the early season so far. If you look around you can find them cheap. Another good option is the Danner combat hiker that are military issue. You can find them on eBay sometimes cheap.
 
I need to look into some of these. Currently rocking some Walmart Ozark Trail hikers.

Just bought these last week for $140. Was looking for some rubber snake boots that had a thicker sole than my regular Lacrosse rubber boots. Standing on a top step or even my platform for hours was cutting into the sole of my foot. These have a much thicker sole and are snake proof, which is a nice peace of mind for early season hunting in the South! Freakin' moccasins and copperheads are everywhere!!
