>>2831651>Boots v Trail runnersare you a beginner?
if yes, actual hiking boots are the only sensible answer
if not
and the season permits it, you walk below the tree line and only on trails
you can opt for trail runners
going to the alpine region and above with trail runners is incredible stupid though
and even below
literally the most common type of injury in the (european) alps are strained / broken ankles
which you can almost completely avoid with a well fitted boot
if you don't mountaineer, it doesn't matter
