Looking to get my first decent set of boots in the next few weeks.
2 key requirements, they have to be black for work, and I'd like it to stay under $80 shipped. Cheaper the better, but I get what I pay for.

I've been using crappy ozark trail wall-mart specials and they aren't lasting even 3 months.
I'm currently helping to pay for school by delivering pizzas, so am walking and driving a lot. Thinking a shorter boot would help with the latter.
It's Florida, so I'm not worried about the cold, and there's always puddles so a bit of waterproofing would be nice.
I'd also use this for shooting, camping, hiking ( OK, it's Florida, so it's walking in the woods at best), and on my new enduro bike.

Please help this deluded sandal wearing fool find a decent pair of boots.
Thanks

Bates Ultra-Lites in 6". About $69 at Academy ($79 with a side zip). They wear well, are comfortable, and give decent support for being so supple. I always add a pair of arch support insoles to mine...my duty boot of choice.
