You can pick up a pair of Korker's Redside wading boots for about $120. I have a pair of them right now and they're awesome. They're worth the price. A bad pair of wading boots just creates more of a problem than anything.
As for waders, stay away from any made by Redington. I had a pair of their SonicDry waders ($400 retail price) and the seams split after 7 months of use. Granted, I fish a lot but they still shouldn't tear that quickly.
My favorite pair is the Orvis Silver Sonic wader. They're about $280 but great quality and they breathe the best out of any wader I've used.
However, the Riverwalk breathable waders (ones that AREN'T neoprene) from Sportsman's Warehouse are a pretty good get. Decent quality, and as long as you take care of them they should stand up to a season or two of light-to-moderate use.
