  1. Yeah big HEaVY boots aren’t your friend but there are boots that’s are fairly light and depending on the conditions your hiking in they could be a better choice. Hiking in really wet, colder conditions on lots of rocky areas , having to walk through streams, boots become your friend quick.

  2. Lots of folks here dissing trail runners. I love my Hoka Speedgoats for 95% of my hiking, even on rough terrain. Works great for me; up Aasgard Pass in the Enchantments and many other trails. The only time I opted for ankle-high boots in my recent memory was for climbing Mt. St. Helens because of all the sharp lava rock.

  3. I used to be a trail runners/fabric-upper-hiking-boots kind of guy until cactus spines pierced half an inch deep over my feet (I live near the Andes and spines are all over the place). Quality mil issue jungle boots are light, breathable and protect your feet and some of your ankle

  4. I got some steel toe Red Wing logger boots. They weigh about 3-4 lbs each. Gets your legs in shape. You can't be a balerina Tinkerbell prancing around in the wilderness.🦟🏕
