I’m sure you’ve tried different footwear and if you’re happy with what you have - great. But trail runners really are the bees knees. IMO. My die hard leather hiking boot ‘ankle support’ dad even finally made the switch last year and he lives in boggy, muddy England. He constantly tells me about how happy he is with the change and he’s almost 70.
