Default csa approved hunting boots?

so the company has agreed to continue giving me a boot allowance and as my current work boots are still in great condition (both winter and summer boots) i was wondering if anyone knows of a good quality boot that i could use as hunting boots and backup work boots of course.
they need to be CSA approved steel toe with an 8' height. i have $300 to spend but i can throw in a few bucks of my own as well.
i was thinking of maybe red wing?

I have red wing slip on cowboy boot style work boots that I use for bow hunting in the warmer months they are awesome both comfortable and not to hot or heavy, and at 279 a pair they fit right in your allowance

Those "muck" boots are popular, good for all kinds of weather

Steel toes, cold feet, my opinion.

Original swat boots, or 5.11 boots. Both available at Milarm. Both great light weight boots.

I'll use my redwing boots for Sept/Oct hunts. But when the snow falls, I switch to insulated (800g thinsulate) because frostbitten toes suck. Even with the composite toes in the redwings, they still transmit cold right to the bone.
