[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2624357, member: 97050"] You the only one that hikes in to hunt? I do the same thing. I hunt expedition hunts, and I live out west. I hunt about every western state I can get a tag for. Half my stalks are in socks, branches and rocks are of no concern to me in trail runners…any more than 4-8000ft elevation gain in boots…also not on a trail. Especially by mile 10+ I personally don’t have weak ankles. Even in the military, the mil version of the salomon xa’s were money. I know more guys that rolled ankles in boots then trail runners haha. Trail runners are lighter. Anyone that hikes knows the benefit to that. They have better traction in general and they breath and drain much faster. Most trail runners have a rock plate for those concerned about their sensitive feet. One of best reasons I like the Altra specifically are because of the large toe box. Gives me a better sense of the ground and terrain. [/QUOTE]
