Yes, fair point. Will be used in the UK, all year round. I'm often in Scotland in winter or spring. Nothing technical, just hills, forest paths, that sort of thing.
I bought a pair of Zamberlans about 25 years ago; think they were trail-lite. They were perfect, it was before they started putting gortex into everything. Eventually the soles came unglued and after getting them glued back on a couple of times, I gave up. Went into Blacks and got a cheap pair of Merrill boots - they are ok in Inverness in winter but the rest of the time my feet are too hot - plus the soles are 80% worn out after a couple of years.
So tempted to go for the welted sole Zamberlans...

no such thing as the best boots. will depend on their fit, what kind of surface you plan on walking on, what time of year, what climate...
the problem is most camping/trekking shops are staffed by young sales assistants, rather than people who really understand their products
