Been very pleased with my Asolo FSN 95 boots. I've never had a blister. The Gore-Tex keeps my feet dry through puddles and wet grass. Sure it's an initial investment, but you should be able to get six or more good years out of the boot.
Women's feet are different than men's. Maybe a female will reply to your thread with suggestions that have work for them. (You will find a whole line of products that cater to women's needs, i.e. backpacks, sleeping bags, etc.)
Most important, it's about the socks! You can have the perfect boots, but unless you have good socks, the boots will eat up your feet.
