Comfy boots I can buy in the UK
Altberg defender (army boots). There's an eBay shop that sells ex military altbergs for about £30, all in. I like my pair, proper leather.

Tactical boots for security guard
I like Lowa if you don’t want something that can be re-soled. Altberg Defender gets really good reviews, will probably be my next boot but I haven’t tried them yet. Magnum did not last very long.

Hiking shoes - all my footwear gets a worn out heel from the inside and I am desperate to find something that lasts.
Altberg are the best hiking boots I've ever worn, really comfortable and tough. If you're patient you can get an unworn pair of Altberg defenders on eBay for your price point (because they're the British army issue boot but they're just a slightly taller version of their hiking boots.) I wear defenders for all my long hikes.
