I frequent many trails, even on glaciers and snow, my feet usually clad in running shoes IF CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE (which they usually are). Mt. Whitney the last 2 or 3 times, yupp , in running shoes. Just cause they’re called running shoes doesn’t mean you have to run all the time in them. With care I have had fun on glaciers with aluminum crampons. And i’ve always been impressed by the huge and heavy gear toted by the majority most even sporting way too many clothes. You can lead a horse to water………………….
