Hi Emil,
If your feet are still growing then you will probably need a new pair of boots every year until you stop growing. Surplus german/dutch/british (even danish) ex-army boots might be a good start, they can found almost anywhere and can be treated with wax etc. and they are very very cheap for what you get. You should be able to get them for between 25-50 Euro. Make sure you can fit your foot, at least one thick sock (you should have one thick and one thin), and have a little room to grow into. Invest in new insoles to fit while you are at it.

Best of luck

Hello emil i would go for surplus boots as well.You dont have to buy used surplus as there are many pairs that are new but are at a good price.When you are older and have done all your growing up i personally would recommend lundhags boots as they are excellent quality.

German para boots ( BW Kampfstiefel) tick all your boxes & can be picked up at a very reasonable price in surplus stores & on ebay de. ( used of course).....

I agree with black timber wolf german para boots are good for surplus boots.

Why don't you just buy a boot that you can wear about the streets and in the forest etc that way you'll burn them out quicker and you wont have to worry about wearing them out, ex army boots are not going to do your street cred any good!!

As far as I know, no such boots exist. You want something that is 100% waterproof, breathable, not too warm in summer, but not too cold in winter, and above all cheap. You can get some of those things in a pair of boots, but not all. You'll have to make choices.
