Try Lowa combat gtx with the goretex lining.Great boot .Plenty of ankle support and light enough for a mountain boot.Not jumpable though due to the hook and d-ring lacing system ,but if your not using them for that then it shouldnt be a problem :) Dont know where you can get them in the states but y...
