        For approaching a mountain climb. No one wants to wear mountaineering boots for many miles of hiking to the base of glacier.

          Is there an actual difference between an approach shoe and a trail runner with rock protection or a low cut hiking shoe, or is the nomenclature just a marketing gimmick? Honest question.

            Yes. Approach shoes are better for scrambling and mountaineering.

            no

            Trail runners aren't as good for anything mountaineering. I've had several pairs of Merrells and as soon as I got my approach shoes I never went back. The Merrells are great every day shoes.

    Why wear shoes at all in those conditions? Genuine question.

        But if your feet aren't rubbing around inside a boot/ shoe what causes these blisters? I can see feet getting pruney but I can't imagine blisters.

          there is always a slight movement inside any boot, you'd have to have them as tight as climbing shoes to have no slip at all which means you cant walk very far as the pressure makes your feet sore

            Friend you aren't hearing me. I'm asking if you aren't wearing shoes how do you get the blisters? As in barefoot.

              then your feet get poked and cut by stones and sticks which is worse than blisters

        Hike more and it’s not an issue. Or just walk around town instead of being a lazy frick and driving everywhere so you can condition your feet. You’re probably one of those homosexuals who takes his shoes off to cross streams because the bottoms of his feet are made out of vegana skin.

            People walking in New Zealand where I live have to cross through dozens of streams, rivers and muddy patches on long hikes. You know what people wear? Trail runners, they dry out faster, drain easily, weigh less and your feet are getting wet regardless, waterproof boots will only retain water and frick you up even more.

                Well you see anon when the water goes over the top of your shoe level it goes up your pants and into your boot. Have you ever gone outside before? Also

                >Wearing heavy boots and non breathable pants on a long, hard hike

                You're going to be sweating like a fricking dog so hard it doesn't matter whether you get wet via a river or your own sweat.

                i mean are you walking in a fricking river? kek- get waders. there is no water getting in there.

                and if its freezing cold rain. you will not sweat.
                put waders w/ boots on- rain jacket that goes to knees over them. 0 rain, 0 problems. take your combat boots elsewhere, gay

                Yes, often you have to walk along or cross rivers up to your thighs, no one brings 10lb of fricking waders hiking, yes even in freezing rain you will sweat due to heavy exertion, I'm shilling trail runners not combat boots if you are capable of reading.

                Go outside holy FRICK.

                I can’t tell if you’re just pretending to be moronic, or if you actually are, but I’m leaning towards the later.
                Let me help you out Champ; you were asking how water would get in your waterproof boots if you wore waterproof pants over the top of them.
                Waders are not what you were talking about, which is why I didn’t mention them.
                Maybe you aren’t moronic, maybe you’re just an inexperienced kid.
                Be honest, are you over 13?

      >Who is saying to wear those hiking?
      That's exactly what I wear when hiking (Asics runners), and they work fine in all but the wettest places. Been through many places like OP's pic as I live in a temperate rainforest. You learn to adapt. Look for footprints where people have already stepped and compressed the mud. Use sticks or bark as stepping stones. Work along the edge of the trail where the mud is shallowest, etc. You get the hang of it. It's not as convenient as just splashing through in gumboots, but personally I find gumboots hard on the knees so I prefer to stick with runners. Yeah, sometimes I miss a step and get a muddy foot, but who cares, it's a hike not a hospital visit. You're gonna get a little dirty. Just accept it and adapt.

      then again the only good ones are produced here and if you want the best originals you have to be lucky enough to have inherited them or sneaky enough to steal from army

    Way back when the British were exploring Canada they kept dying and losing limbs from frostbite. The Eskimos had proven gear and techniques for living in those harsh conditions, but the British have this moronic tendency to hold on to traditional techniques even in the face of abject failure. This dumbfrick attitude continues today within the realm of recreational backpacking.

    I started day hiking with brooks running shoes, then switched to trail runners to test out the shoes I’d be using for backpacking. If the shoe fell apart on a 10-12 hour day and close to my car, at least it didnt happen out in the wilderness. I’ve started to come back to normal running shoes for dayhikes and trail running because they’re just more plush than the trail runners I use (I like ground feel more when I’m backpacking because it helps me steady myself with a pack weight).
