I won't wear anything but Lowa or Salomon. Lowa boots have been my go to boots for years. The Salomons I'll throw on for training or when I need to put BDU's or something on quickly.

These dont necessarily meet your requirements, but i'll never wear anything other than Danner's; specifically, ones that are stitch down and are recraftable. Most boots i've worn have been destroyed in 1 year or less. I've had my Danner Acadia's for almost 3 years now. I was standing in 5 inches of moving water last night watching a house - feet stayed dry. I could go on and on about how tough they are. But, that's what I demand. If your just walking a beat - yeah, there are probably more comfy boots out there.

Reebok has a side zip boot, no idea what the weight is on it. Ive been wearing Belleville MiniMils for a while and love the way they feel and lack of weight, but Im getting sole separation already at the flex points and taking them off to clear a metal detector 2-3 times a day gets old. I like the idea of going to a side zip boot myself, but weight is my main priority when selecting boots.

I wore the hell outta these for about 7 years before going with the UA's.
In fact, I still have these. The boot itself held up top notch. The soles are now worn down so I don't like to wear them but they are still definitely in usable condition should I have to wear them.
They are not heavy. Side zip. If you must go side zip I can only recommend these from personal experiences. These, too, have also held up in a light field environment as well as more of a patrol type environment.

I have been wearing a pair of Blackhawk boots that are not insulated, which are very comfortable. For insulated boots, I have Danner's.

Salomon has a tactical line. Pretty sure they make a black boot.

Available in both GTX and non-GTX. On Promotive, if one qualifies for that. No zippers, though; I use Haix XR1s for my station boots, but that's with the VFD, so the mission's different. FWIW, the Haix have been pretty good to me.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
