Trail runners for 95% of hiking. The armchair hikers and various LARPers should never be taken seriously. Only time I’d wear a boot is when I’m working on a job site where you actually need to protect your feet or hiking through miles of muck and swamp. If you’re crossing a creek, take your socks and liners out to keep them dry. If you’re walking in snow deep enough to posthole your feet are going to get wet regardless of what you’re wearing, I’d rather be in trail runners that dry faster. Every pound on your feet is 3 pounds on your back. Whenever you think about taking advice from just remember it’s usually some boomer who’s 50 pounds overweight and might go out once a year for a 5 mile day hike. Go 30 miles from a trailhead and check out the gear those people are wearing, you’re not going to see boots or dumbass milsurp or tacticool gear
>t. Long distance hiker
Also Altra’s are getting to be shit tier and they’re getting worse about honoring their warranty, I’ll go with Solomon’s next. Merrels are shit. A guy on trail with me got Hokas for his newest pair of shoes and they seem alright
