I wear muck fieldblazers pretty much exclusively. I can sit on bolts fine. It all depends on how you hang.Heck no to rubber boots and bolts. Get a mid weight hiker with some good vibram soles. Asolo, la sportiva, keen, merrel, garmont, limmer, lowe, etc. The support/stiffness of the boot will take a lot of pressure and fatigue off your calfs too.
More detail, how do you have different to relieve the pressure on feet. Mostly lean, 80/20?I wear muck fieldblazers pretty much exclusively. I can sit on bolts fine. It all depends on how you hang.

Is it just your boots that need broken in? I had a similar issue with a new set of snake boots this year. I bought a pair of these to wear while they broke in, no more ankle pain.
