It has been my experience (thus far) that the lighter boots are not friendly to feet when you've gotta 50-100lb pack on your back. I end up wearing my 8" Danner Pronghorns most of the time but am not seeing the same quality in the newer generation models and my Meindl Douvres are like wearing bricks in comparison but ideal for sharp, jagged rock-on-rock terrain that eats most boots. I've been looking at the SCARPA style boots but they just don't look like they would handle a heavy load well. Am I wrong? Is there a lightweight boot that can haul 100lbs? Now the really hard part...is there one that comes in a very wide size? I end up buying 10 or 10.5 EE or EEE. I'm part duck.
