>>798087depends on the kind of hike OP.
I take mine trail running through a wooded lowland area near my house. Sometimes I go barefoot. been thinking about making a pair of running sandals (pic related) when they give out
Personally I'd never take them hiking outside of something ultralight. Distance wise, I wouldn't trust them if I wanted to make serious miles.
Again, if you live someplace that's really rocky, thorny, or otherwise demanding protection, you might be better off with something more substantial.
That said, I like thin & minimal shoes .Makes you pay more attention to your stride/where you step, also makes your feet strong as fuck. Kinda makes regular boots feel awesome
