I find that too much ankle support is a lot more fatiguing when used outside of its intentions than too stiff a sole.
Too tall of a sole can be an issue on firmer uneven ground.

Canada is done, save the West.

I wear a pair of Scarpa Triolet boots on a regular bases. I paid $485 for them, but have had them for several years already. I figure they will last a lifetime if I continue to take good care of them. If not, I will probably be too old and decrepit to need them anymore anyway. The initial cost was high, but time will tell, one of the smartest purchases that I've made. Another big plus, for reasons unknown, German Shepherds don't like the taste of them.
I find personally on rugged up and down terrain I do well with a thick soled boot. Seems to absorb a lot of the impact in places where me feet and shins get sore if my soles are thinner
