Hot weather boots?

[Cahunter805]

Hey guys! Looking for some advice on some lightweight sturdy boots for hunting in hot weather. My local season is usually 80-100 degrees.
Anyone have any opinions on the following boots:

Salomon quest 4D- Read they might be to insulated
Lowa zephyr gtx
Lowa innox
Under armor speed freaks

Any other recommendations? I need a boot with some decent ankle support also as I hunt in some steep desert terrain.

Bellville has a 'tactical research' division. They make a Kyber mountain boot with and without waterproof inserts. I have both and the non waterproof really breath well. Made in china but mine have had no issues in one year and I use them trail hiking on rocky trails.....my Salomon's got tore up on those trails fast but they were not 4d's. The Kybers have a real good heel box support. I have the side zip models.

Highly recommend and for a less expensive boot I am very happy. They have zero insulation.

I'm still happy with the Lowa Irox and still wear them all the time.

If you really want boots for hot weather, you need to find something without goretex. They breathe way better than boots with a waterproof membrane.

I know most people are afraid of getting their feet wet, but I think a pair of light, quick drying non-waterproof boots should be in everyones quiver. Yeah, your feet will get wet once in while, but they dry waaayyy faster than something with goretex.

Lowa makes a few leather lined models that don't have goretex. Oboz also has some options but they might not be as stiff/sturdy as you are looking for.

Ditto on the leather lined with no waterproof-breathable membrane. I wear Hanwag Bergler, Alico Guide and Kenetrek Desert Guide boots in high heat. The nylon-leather sneaker type boots don't hold up nor provide adequate protection & support in my experience.
