Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Lightweight Hunting boots

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?

I've been using Hanwag Mountain Lights and I like them a lot. Here is a similar boot that I haven't tried but I'd like to, the "Banks GTX" :

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

+1 on both of these. I also would give the nod to the Altra.

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.

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.

Plus one to that...

I have been known to sport knee high Chippewa snake boots with shorts on hot days

My wife calls it "South Texas Sexy"

I don't want to ever hunt in 100 degree weather! Holy smokes.
