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.

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:

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.

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.
