Hunting boots, depending on quality and type, can be very suitable for survival. For boots in general, just remember, NO steel toes for cold weather (that should be a gimme), but some people just don't have a clue.

With boots, as with other things, you get what you pay for. An example of something that I paid more for and that is still going strong: I am wearing a pair of Timberland hiking boots right now that I have had for 8 friggin years!!! And I haven't been gentle to them either!!!
