The cheapest boots around are rubber boots, prices start around €45:

Decent "regular" chainsaw boots will cost around €100-150.
Until recently I had these, Haix Protector, price about €160, they are great for winter use in difficult terrain (absolutely watertight, gore-tex etc) but would be totally unsuitable for tropical climate down under

I bet you could climb Mount Everest with them...

I like these (€220):

Many models available in between and even above that price range, but most of them are just too friggin' warm for summer use.

The boots are rated to stop chains up to 20, 24 or 28 meters/second, depending on which protection class they're in.

Don't know any good and cheap English language shops, but a google search for "chainsaw boots" should produce plenty of hits.
