,Have you tried some of the lighter weight boots like Salomons? Outside of winter and up in the scree, they should be robust enough. Plently of support for ankles but a bit more flex and feel in the soles.
If you want a heavier style of boot aka Meindel or Lowa some of the lesser known boots like Crispi or Zamberlan can often be available at good prices.
Seems to be sale time on outdoor gear here moving into summer, reducing lockdown stock.
