Hi and welcome Mike

Cheap isn't so hot when it comes to your feet. Look to spend at least $50 for a good boot.

Columbia and Hi-Tec are companies that make good day-hiking boots in that price range.

Your not going to be looking at anything technical so a boot might be overkill. Columbia makes a few trail runners (think...hiking boot, tennis shoe hybrid) that should do the job. I used the pair I have climbing up and down mountains in Afghanistan and they held up well.
