So I am in need of some mid-weight hiking/packing shoes/boots. I can not seem to find what I like. I stopped in at REI yesterday and they had pack specific boots that had a shank in the sole. Is this really needed?

I am 250lbs and am planning on a 35+- pack. I have some heavy gortex Danners for the nasty weather. What I am after is something breathable and sturdy enough to hold up. My new Ozarks felt good on the start of my last pack but were shot by the end, only a one nighter. Any suggestions?

Thanks...

PS, I forgot to mention that something without a vulcanized sole would be nice. I would like to be able to add a lift to one of them.
