Any shoe suitable for carrying moderate loads over uneven ground will suffice.
The targets don’t care what brand you wear.

Your feet, your preference.... It also depends on terrain and load.
I prefer a 6"tall, lighter boot for most matches.
I have a wide feet and I'm old/arthritic... Solomons fit me very well and have great traction on the mud and clay we have here in western Oregon.
I usually wear a low top,6", boot at the barn or shooting in the woods and a pair of their ankle height during the day. Their waterproof units are truly waterproof and their customer service is excellent.
For rough terrain and backwoods antics where my life may depend on me being able to walk out I wear Danners-again, they fit my feet well- Super Rainforests (US Made) for all wear day in the wet and cold (like some of the matches in NE Washington), Pronghorns(chinese made) and some Berry Compliant Marine Corp Rat Boots for summer and desert stuff like Steel Safari.

Merrell Moab 2. Really comfortable from day 1. No break in. Really. Soles are very good too.
Merrell Moabs have been great for me! I just got a new pair of Altima OTB Maritimes to try out and so far I like them but they are more like canvas sneakers
I like wearing Lowa Zephyr Highs. They're basically like a really tall running shoe anyways but that 8" height gives you some decent ankle support when you're carrying pack and rifle ver uneven terrain. If the match is on flat ground/concrete then I wear some Salomon Speedcross trail runners.
There are a couple of guys at our local match that wear flip flops. I wear boots because it's a working cattle ranch, the cattle don't respect the firing line, and I don't like cow shit squeezing between my toes...
Another thumbs up for Merrels. I picked up a pair on a climbing trio because I needed some approach shoes and they've become my go to all arounders.
Merrell Moab 2 Ventilator during the summer (because they breathe)
Salomon Discovery GTX during the winter (because I want to stay as dry and warm as possible)
