Boots: light and fast or heavy and bomb proof?

[Bearwhisky]

I have a pair of Beartooth 2 200g and they are by far the nicest pair of boots I have ever owned. Unfortunately, I have the wide model and they still flair up my mortons neuroma. I want to wear them every day, but after a day or so my foot is sore for a week (not the boots fault, just my problem in one foot). I still wear them when it is cold and wet because I know they will do their job. Can anyone tell me if…

A. The Beartooth V3 is wider, the same as or narrower than the V2 model?

B. Does anyone have an insulated and non insulated version of the beartooth? Im curious if the non insulated version would have more room in the midfoot/toe box (this is what flares up my nerve damage)

Use to wear and still have some Scarpa Grand Dru’s which are about as stuff of a hunting boot as you can get. If I’m packing out of a super steep hole I can toe in and they are nice. However the last couple years I’ve switched to light foot wear and don’t foresee going back.
Last fall i wore lone peak hikers all season and they were great, wore them in the rubies in steep rocky stuff and in really nasty river breaks. Killed my bull and had to pack meat for almost 8 miles, really Rocky sidehilling, two river crossings and up over two saddles and the lone peaks were awesome and my feet felt great after the season.
