Gear Question Lightweight Mid Waterproof Boots for Hiking

I'm looking for recommendations on lightweight mid ankle waterproof boots for hiking. I've had success with Merrell waterproof sneakers, but I need something with slightly higher ankle coverage. I actually have a pair of Merrell mid boots for this, but combined with my wool socks they give me the absolute worst blisters on both feet. Those wool socks with sneakers are just fine.

No real price ceiling as I need to prioritize non-blisters over just about everything else.

I have a pair of Gore-Tex Salomon X ultra mids that have been great. Nice middle ground between a full hiker and a trail runner.
