Advice for women’s hiking boots for Alaska trip?

My daughter and soon-to-be son-in-law will be going to Alaska at end of June for their honeymoon. My daughter needs to get some waterproof/water resistant hiking shoes or short boots. There won’t be any 10-mile hikes, but there will be multiple short hikes. Any recs for such?

Not expensive good support for ankles and water resistant.

My wife has Merrell's that we used all over Iceland....
I tend to use Merrell's as well, particulary the Moab 2's. Haven't tried the Moab 3's yet.

I use Asolos with Gore Tex as bird and turkey hunting boots. The models I have had have walked many miles and maintained their waterproofness. The last pair I had lasted 5 years before they started letting my feet get wet. You can usually find them on sale at backcountry or steep n cheap. Here’s my latest pair last week turkey hunting in the cold, and my feet stayed dry despite the melting ice:

The 3’s are much more comfortable than the 2’s imo.

Forget the boots. Going outside in the summer is a mosquito overwhelming situation. Repellant helps a bit, but they will need headgear netting long sleeve shirts etc
