Anyone have any experience with tan desert boots that are fairly good for rucking. When I went through selection we were still using regular jungles. I didn't have that many blister problems but now using regular army issue tan boots I get hotspots in the bottom of my feet whereas before I could be fine with only resting for about 3-5 minutes every hour. This is at about a 14:00 minute pace.

I get the hotspots at around 45 minutes every hour starting at hour 2. I just need to be able to push through the last 15 minutes but that will cause a blister based on experience. So any suggestions for good tan boots out on the market now(no non issue type boots, I have merrels, asolos etc that work great but unfortunately can't use them). Just seeing what works for everyone these days, used the search function but haven't found anything concrete. Thanks
