To hike you need a dedicated boot. My Vasques are ancient and have taken me over most of the AT. Although they are *retired*, I can't part with them. Yet. They're a part of my life.
Feet sweat too bad, cold feet.
Tend to roll on the foot, not for mountain wear.

“Tend to roll on the foot, not for mountain wear.”
On jobs in the woods in Alaska I’ll wear a pair of “extra-tuffs” (high rubber boots) to use in the bogs, and bring another pair of leather boots for the dry land. Although it is rare to be able to put on the leathers during the day - usually walking through a bog, then a hill, then a creek, etc.
I now wear ankle braces with the rubber boots and that helps out a lot.
