If you're going for cheap, pick up some of the black Jungle Boots at an Army surplus store.
Some people like the tan standard issue Wellcos/Altamas/Belleviews, but from personal experience I hate them. My issue Altamas tore up my feet, didn't break in after 3 months of daily heavy use, and kill my knees and back. They also weigh a fucking lot. Like close to 3 pounds/boot. Mud sticks to them like a magnet. The insoles are awful and the normal soles feel like rocks on your feet. The only good thing I can really say about them is that they're super durable.
Nike SFBs feel like you're wearing running shoes and are the lightest boot I've ever worn. They're really well-ventilated and you can wear them forever without getting tired of them. I never really wore them outside of garrison use, so I can't really speak much about their durability, but because they're super light they aren't really built to last.
I just got a pair of [Rocky S2Vs] (http://www.amazon.com/Rocky-0105-Mens-Vented-Military/dp/B0042UO7IU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375721467&sr=8-1&keywords=rocky+sv2) and they were a bit pricey but already totally worth it. They're insanely comfortable right out of the box. I wear them even when I'm off-duty, 'cause I love them that much. I never thought I could "fall in love" with a boot, but I'm already planning on getting another pair or two of them. Because they're that awesome.
They're also built to last, and are well worth the initial investment.
Basically, save your pennies and get some good boots. Or at least get the old black combat boots the Army used to issue. It seems like they were a hell of a lot better than the tan issue ones. I can't vouch for a lot of other boots because I haven't tried them out, but I also hear a lot of good things about the Rocky C4 Trainers and Blackhawk Desert Ops.
You could also get a pair of these if you're looking for something in the $50 range. I don't know much about them 'cause I haven't worn them, but one of my friends got them and he said they were pretty comfortable and lightweight. They seem to have durability issues, though, but I guess that's not too big a deal if you're just getting boots to play airsoft in on the weekends.
side note! All the boots I linked to have little to no break-in time. Which is a good thing if you're not planning on wearing them outside of playing Airsoft.
TL;DR: save your pennies and buy some nice boots. Your feet, knees, and back will give you blow jobs because they'll love you so much.
Yeah, I get that like all those boots I linked are expensive. Nothing is under $120, except for the Converses. But you get what you pay for, and if your feet can't function, you can't function.
Edit: Pro tip -- If you plan on ordering online, go with these guys. They've got the best prices I've seen, plus free shipping on a lot of their more popular boots. Their return policy is really generous, their exchange policy is great, and their customer service is fantastic.
