Trail Runners are generally recommended over hiking boots for most people.
Trail Runners are lighter in weight compared to hiking boots.
One pound on your feet equals five pounds on your back, so lighter shoes are preferred.
Trail Runners are more comfortable and flexible, allowing for better foot movement.
Wide Trail Runners are recommended for better comfort and foot splay.
Trail Runners are more breathable than hiking boots, but they may not repel water as well.
Hiking boots are more suitable for winter conditions, while Trail Runners are preferred for spring, fall, and summer.
Hiking boots are more durable and can last longer than Trail Runners.
Hiking boots are generally more expensive compared to Trail Runners.
Trail Runners provide better ankle support through the muscles and tendons in the leg, rather than relying on the boot.
Ankle support from hiking boots can transfer stress to the knees and may cause discomfort during downhill hikes.
Proper ankle training can reduce the risk of ankle sprains, making ankle support from boots less necessary.
