Second is the low tops - so sun beats down on my ankles (wearing long quick dry pants) and I end up sunburned there unless I also wear nylon socks.

The boot solves the sunburn problem, but not the heat problem being only available in dark colors...
KAI, just bleach them then wear them in the Baja sun for a while, between the sun and bleach they will lighten up.............
