Whats the recommendations on best allround waterproof boots for wearing to the swim setting up so lots of walking getting hot and sweaty so need to be breatheable and flexible but also want them warm for winter, Autumn - Spring. I swap over to wellies with thermal liners once I get to the swim if its really cold. Also put wellies on without the liners if I'm in a swim that requires wading to land fish.
Looking to spend 70quid max really maybe more if it's worth doing. Don't really want to buy fishing branded as they're mostly rubbish lol although the prologic boots look half decent. I have the fox ones in mid and full length and both have fallen apart.

Have a look at the Grisport range of walking boots. They are good quality, most of them are italian made and not silly money. I have the Quattros that I use for my fishing and also have other safety boots from them that I use on site. Both are good. Bit more than you have said, but for 100 quid you will have a good pair of boots.

Try Jack Pyke Tundra boots, although they are around £85.

Army surplus for me. Got a pair of Altberg Defenders at the beginning of the year, they're full leather, have been totally waterproof, comfortable and seem indestructible. Bought as Grade1 for £50 but they were in such good nick I'm not sure if they'd actually been worn.

I bought muck boots a couple of years ago but they made my feet sweat really bad, they were proper expensive ones as well. They have been resigned to the garage now.

Will take a look at the other suggestions

Yes they do look really good, how warm are they ? Would they get me through a cold winter?

got some nice brasher boots in go outdoors, ive not worn the exact pair that they sell but i do have brashers and they have lasted at least 8 years so far. Nice sensible boot. The ones i saw are called country walker boots 79 quid. Looks like they might work within your budget.

Yes I was looking at those as I heard them mentioned before on here by several people. I just wondered how flexible they were for bending in and out of bevvies etc
