Thanks all. So it is not only me. It is just that I feel the Montrail are even worse than my old Adidas running shoes. I guess I need to start investigating the lighter traditional boots as well.

I have no problem with dusty shoes. OK maybe a bit since the dust soils the socks badly. But if I will need to spend that much time cleaning my feet before going to bed, I might as well use sandals instead for trail hiking ;-)
