Does anyone understand the point of “hiking boots” and can you explain it to me?
-
I was thinking about going up a mountain with some people but the event said “must wear hiking boots” and it was a serious climb
idgi why would people still do this? bad for knees, bad for paresthesia/neuropathy, bad for grip, so why?

Maybe you got a bad pair. But the general answer is they don't slip as much when you're on a steep incline. Also they have a lot of support for your ankles

yeah I don’t get the physics of it - I wore boots for decades and thin-soled running shoes seem way grippier
