What you pick is personal preference but a soft boot like a Lowa Renegade is obviously softer and more smooth and gentle for delicate trailrunning feet. B boots are allrounders that can be used in most circumstances. People often complain about BC boots being too heavy or too tough on their knees. It depends on what you are used to and on how often you will wear them whether or not you can get used to hiking long distances with anything heavier than a B boot.
