f i was buying today, zamberlan trail lite evo gtx would be my pick....
i hunt in asolo shivers a lot, and they have been solid... them with some low gaiters like the kenetrek hiking gaiters is a great early season setup, and those shoes have been tough as nails... i haven't had a bad pair of asolo boots, but their fit for regular boots doesn't fit me well, but the lightweight stuff does... their cactus looks like a great option to me... like the shiver but not low top.
i have the crispi crossover, and i get some heel rub in them, and they really aren't any lighter than their summit gtx... the summit is a great all around early season boot, and that boot cost me some money... i went all in on crispi for a minute, but every dang pair i have fits different, so i give up on crispi, too much of a crap shoot on fit... they need a size/fit guide like zamberlan has.
i have a pair of altras as well that i wore a lot last year.... light and comfortable, soft sneaky sole, but they are a tad wide for my liking in the toe box, and they are supposed to be waterproof but are not even close to waterproof.... not sure if they ever were, all i know is i wore them about a week of hard hunting, and then had a day of rain, and they leaked like crazy by then.
i hunt elk in light shoes/boots, my summits are as boot like as i care to wear for hunting elk.... i know that's not the popular opinion, but the only foot problems i have ever had was in stiffer boots, my feet don't like them.... i also don't have ankle problems and don't like constrictive boots, and i have packed out a bunch of critters with minimal footwear without issue, so take my opinion for what it's worth, we all have different preference and, or needs in hunting footwear.
the zamberlan trail lite evo looks like a great early season boot, and they have a great warranty on their goretex (guaranteed for the life of the boot) i think that's a hard to beat early season boot, and light enough to fit most people well (fit gets more critical as you get into stiffer boots)
the crispi lapponia looks like a good option too, but i'll never buy another crispi boot without trying them on... i have one pair that fits better than any boot i have owned, and 2 pairs that don't fit well.... poor odds. mine have been great, but i won't wear 2 of the pairs very often, so it doesn't matter.
