Even if you plan on ordering online, this may give you an idea of what to look for.

I second this advice. The best hiking boots under $100 are the ones which properly fit your feet. And because everyone's feet are a bit different, you can't just go by brand name. Brand A may fit my feet wonderfully and your feet horribly (or visa-versa).
