What do you guys use for shoes? Are high top ankle collared shoes good for long distance hiking or is it mainly for hilly terrain? Are those $300 shoes overpriced meme shoes or is there a cheaper alternative that holds up well?

Full leather high boots. Twisting my ankle alone innamountains would be very bad. My everyday shoes are trail runners.

I'm closing in on 10000 miles hiked on long distance trails. I've worn trail runners for all these miles. My favourite trail runner so far has been the Topo Pursuit, but I'm not sure if they make it any more. Topo make great shoes and if I can afford them when I need to replace my shoes I'll choose these over other brands. Second place is tied between brooks and altra. The lonepeak is far from a perfect shoe, but I've worn it so much that I feel comfortable with its weaknesses. Brooks are neat and I enjoy the cascadia but will always choose a zero drop first if one is available.

Do those dry out overnight? or do you have to put wet shoes on in the morning? how many socks do you bring when you go backpacking? Do you bushwack in those? prickly pear would go right thru those...

>dry overnight
depends on conditions. In scotland? No. In Arizona? Yes
>how many socks
two pairs for 90% of my hiking. One to wear, one to air. In wetter, colder conditions I will bring an extra pair.
>bushwack
yes
>prickly pear
that shot was from a hayduke hike. mostly off trail, lots of scrambling and cactus. It's not hard to avoid kicking them, but when you do then you spend some time pulling the spikes out your socks.

I wrap my feet in buckskin and tie them with tendon cordage. My ancestors are looking down upon me smiling. Can you say the same?

i've enjoyed the vivobarefoot magna esc. other than tracking mud, they have a good thicker leather upper, and solid outsole. they also fix vivos usual issue which is shit glue on the outsole. european union has bullshit eco initiatives that equates to them using weaker glues on their outsoles. the side stitched sole helps this but i still wouldnt use wax based leather conditions on them as they will help separate the glue from the leather. I use nikwax or water based leather conditioners.
some of these companies void warranties if you dont use their conditioners because of this.

Depends on your terrain, load and physical condition.
Try shit, then decide.
There is no general answer that will apply to everyone and everything.

Agree 100%.
Both my ankles are fucked up already from previous injuries.
I want some support, especially when carrying heavy.
Have some very supportive hunting boots from Crispi for heavy loads or very steep and rough terrain, and some Alfa made M77 boots for easier trips/lighter loads.
For daytrips or flatter terrain, I just use trail runners.

for off-trail walking, high boots with hard rubber soles are appropriate. for walking on-trail, trailrunners are better. a mid length boot with a gaiter is good for both

I like higher boots that are waterproof enough, just so I don't have to deal with gaiters, I find them an unecessary annoyance.

I have the Terraventure 3 and love them, 3mm drop but I don't mind it. I only wish that they had more protection around the base since I do happen to hit my toes on a rock from time to time

What model Crispis do you have? I’ve got a pair of Guides for winter and a pair of Wyoming's for not cold weather.

Seems to be almost identical, except different color.

For me it's Steinkogler Bergwacht, classic style (made from 60s almost unchanged) mountain boots, but unlike most they are light (700g each) while not sacrificing durability way too much (double alpine stitched) . Soft and ultra comfy. Quality is top tier. Took me years to find my ideal boots.
a bit pricey, but it's worth it, since they will last you many years with proper care.
