Could you pick a faggier looking shoe as an example?

high tops are good only if you can lace them tight, because it's much harder to roll an ankle. imporant if you are climbing on rocks, roots, or holes. decades of skateboarding taught me that though.

I took the sandal pill thanks to sandal anon. He made a convincing argument. I realized I only want to be wearing sandals whenever I'm not hiking, so what if I could just wear them while hiking also?

actual pros:
>crossing streams
>protection from debris entering footwear
>protection against branches/stings/ticks
>decades of anecdotal claims about preventing ankle rollyour 'cons':
>less comfortable
okay princess
>need high socks
stop buying women's socks
>longer to put on take off
if 2-5 seconds matter to you this much then low-tops aren't much of an improvement.
>heavier
if the weight of your footwear is an issue you might just be a twinkanyway keep trustin the heckin science

I only wear mids for my hiking boots and they do indeed help with ankle support. Worth it for whatever little weight it adds, no comfort issues whatsoever. OP is a gay as usual

It's all just fashion shoes. Pretty, but uncomfortable.
