I usually wear Altberg Tethera boots for hill walking in the UK. Superb boots for hiking - three seasons (four if you don't need crampons) but chunky and not what you might want as everyday footwear.

But I am visiting Southern Crete for a holiday (involving the beach but also some walking) in early May. I am thinking of a pair of summer/lightweight walking boots to travel out there, and use as my main footwear when there and also to travel out. All this to save on weight - wear the boots for everything and only have flipflops* in the rucksack.

Any recommendations for lightweight boots - or would a pair of walking shoes be more versatile?
