I know you say mid length, but if you feel like trying hi length,
And a lot depends on your own foot shape as to which will work for you as im sure you know.
ive got MOD issue altbergs and Haix cold wet weather, have had Altberg EOD boots (before they got mass produced), Hanwag SF leather, matterhorns, Lowas, Meindls, itturis, Bates, 5.11.
If you can find a brand new pair "for me" I think the best pair of boots including VFM are Haix cold wet weather. superbly comfortable, hard wearing, good grip, great lacing system, not that heavy, have been jogging in them, fairly easily replaced(large stocks) and afaik resoleable. Zero blisters with thick Alpaca walking socks.
I use Altberg clear leder gris(brown stuff seems to turn things dark purple), but dont really look after them. Replaced the laces once so far with paracord but nothing i throw at these has caused any problems.
I had a pair of Hanwag tatras for a month and they literally fell apart (£185) had them repaired and same thing happened so refunded. I would have sworn by hanwag a few years ago.
If you are a unusual size you could get a brand new boxed pair with all the extras for around £75 but they hover around £100.
I take 9M in all boots and trainers and they fit me nicely. The height of the boot from ground to top back is roughly 9 1/2 inches. Altbergs similar.
Haix pair of 9M weigh 1.96 Kg and the Altbergs 1.64 Kg
There is the Goretex argument about drying time compared to non membrane boots but that doesnt bother me. I have worn them damp and not had any issues. I worn them in 25+ degree heat no problems.
The following update on HAIX boots was published in the January 2013 issue of the now out-of-print COMBAT & SURVIVAL Magazine.

However if you did want a non membrane boot look at the Altberg MOD boot too
In the autumn of 2017 the UK Ministry of Defence placed contracts for a range of new combat boots to replace the ten models in five categories first issued in 2012 in the new UK Brown colourway, writes Bob Morrison. At the end of March Yorkshire-based ALT-BERG sent JOINT-FORCES a sample pair of...

Around the same money. I didnt like mine too much at the beginning but after I started taping up my left small toe, i have had great walks with these too.
Lighter than the Haix but i would say not as high quality and would not last quite as long maybe.
I use these for load carry and tabbing (jogging) as im trying to get fit for Paras10 2021, i am prefering these to the haix for that job plus i dont really want to wear the sole out on the haix with mindless road miles.
