kmca Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I've used these: https://www.amazon.com/Magnum-Elite-Spider-8-0-Desert/dp/B00131OS9O/ref=sr_1_4?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1498770372&sr=1-4&nodeID=679307011&psd=1&refinements=p_lbr_brands_browse-bin%3AMagnum They were the lightest I found at the shoe store, 20.1 oz each. By comparison my Solomon Speedcross 3 weights 11.8 oz. Very comfortable and are fairly cool. They can't be waterproof though because they breathe very well.

2011BLDR Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Bellevill/ Tactical research: http://beta.galls.com/tactical-research-hot-weather-khyber-8-boots?PMWTNO=000000000002036&PMSRCH= http://www.militaryclothing.com/Belleville-Khyber-TR660-Hot-Weather-Lightweight-Mountain-Hybrid-Boots.aspx best boots like wearing trail running shoes with ankle support, the Coyote and Tan ( type 2 )( may Run 1 size big depending on your foot) are a bit stiffer than the gen 1 (Sage and Multicam) ( may Run 1/2 size big depending on your foot ).and need a bit of a break in Dailyware for the last 6 years. Will be trying this next evelotion out soon as the preorder ships: http://beta.galls.com/tactical-research-qrf-series-alpha-c9-hot-weather-assault-boot?PMWTNO=000000000002036&PMSRCH= Edited June 30, 2017 by 2011BLDR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcp Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Two different options I have that are excellent for me (I need some ankle support) are a neoprene hightop hiker style by Under Armour. They are crazy light...around 1# each and they have a surprising amount of support. The other is a custom Russell 8". Those are the best boots I've ever owned.

Stickman301 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Do they have to be tactical tan? I would go with Salomon boots. They are super lightweight and comfortable. Even the mid size XDs provide good ankle support. The speed lacing is awesome. You never have to tie your boots or have them come untied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmooberry Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I have a pair of Irish Setter Vaprtreks for bow hunting. They are AWESOME! The uninsulated version is still kind of warm since it is waterproof. The support is outstanding, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabate01 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Rocky C4 boots, Nike SFB boots and Danner "Tachyon GTX" I have had each of these boots over the years and can say that each is a great boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrydoc Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I know you said you want 8in boots but the lightest Ive found are the UA Valsetz.RTS https://www.underarmour.com/en-us/ua-valsetz-stealth/pid1250234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
