I have been wearing Merrell waterproof hikers for the last few years. My current ones have rubber type toe and are very comfortable. I have some older Red Wings in the non waterproof hikers and need to get one seam sewed up and they have a lot of miles on them. For the grouse/woodcock woods or when I think it is going to be wet I like the original Muck Boot Co boots. I never thought I would like rubber boots but these are different and I wear long socks to protect the top of my legs. I can walk all day with them without a problem.
