Hey guys! Been looking for a pair of lightweight boots with decent ankle support. Early season hunts in 90-100 degree weather. I am thinking about the Lowa Innox GTX Mid TF. Anyone use these boots or have any other recommendations for a lightweight pair of boots?

Altra Lone Peak Neoshell mid or Hoka Tor Ultra High are my current personal picks. Slight nod to the Altra's for my foot.

I don't like the Goretex boots for warm weather. I prefer the Lowa Renegade leather lined. I've had the same pair for close to 5 years and use them quite a bit. I hiked 15 miles the other weekend. They probably need some new foot beds because I've worn some holes in them at the heal and the ball. Great boots.

I like Saloman x ultras with runners weight wool socks and I run hot with sweaty feet.

Anyone use these boots or have any other recommendations for a lightweight pair of boots? From Hot Weather Central, something to consider -- do you have to have goretex? Slice it any way you want, it makes a boot significantly hotter. I only use it for cold weather boots. But what if it gets wet? Big deal, it will dry. At 90 degrees who cares? I would bag the GTX. Also, pardon the blasphemy, but nylon is cooler than leather. If you can wear Asolos, that would be my choice.
I do not entertain hypotheticals. The world itself is vexing enough. -- Col. Stonehill
