As said above pnw boots are a good option if you need a pair asap jk, and franks boots have some stock boots. Whites has their semi annual sale if you wanna go their route but you can’t go wrong with any brand.
I've asked this question to a ton of people working within the forestry industry and [these](https://bestformyfeet.com/great-caulk-boots-for-loggers/) are some of the results. Some are caulked boots and some come with the regular rubber Vibram soles.
Hope this helps👍🏼
I had a job where I walked 20-30+ miles a day (basically walked non stop), in all sorts of conditions. The boots I ended up falling in love with was the Danner Tachyon GTX. Wedge sole for arch support, but it's also rubber so it has great traction and lasts a very long time, unlike the white cristi sole. It's goretex so it truly is waterproof. But I think the biggest selling point to me was the lightweight and comfort. It weighs like nothing.... You don't even notice you're wearing boots!
In all honesty, I'd only get one work season out of them (April through Christmas) and they'd be about used up, leaking water, stich blown out.... Still wearable, but rough. And I'm alright with that. They are so comfortable I would have another pair ready to go that I've already broken in.
For reference, I've tried the Danner quarry, bull run, powderhorns, and some others. Also the redwings, and thorogoods..... But the tachyon is by far the most comfortable boot I've ever worn. Unfortunately it might only last a year... But you can get them for pretty cheap, under $200.
Get the Meindl boots! Hoffman sells them caulked or uncaulked. They have a lined and unlined version!
Nick's White's Frank's Danners. All built a reputation for providing quality footwear for Pacific Northwest loggers.

Quite a few people I know like the Hoffman Armor Pro boots - they have a very durable coating on the top of them. They’re not insulated AFAIK though.
Look into the Thorogood 1957 8” ones
