Heavy leather boots with rubber soles give your feet lots of protection and you feel like you can trample everything without risking a foot injury but they're less responsive, your feet feel like they're trapped. Light trail runners don't offer as much protection but they're much more agile, you can jump from boulder to boulder far easily and you can recover much faster from a missed footing.
