Hi all,
Last year I sprained my ankle coming down a flight of stairs, and then proceeded to hike 1500 miles on the injury (bad idea). The ankle is now decidedly "weird" to say the least, and I'm looking for a shoe/boot that is lightweight but gives a bit more ankle support than low-cut trail runners. Does anyone know anything about the Inov8 Roclite 370 or the Montrail Mid 09 GTX? Would this type of shoe provide substantially more support than low cut shoes? Are they suitable for thru-hike length trips?
I'm a long-time hardrock devotee, and it seems that the Mid 09 GTX is just a hardrock sole built up with some ankle support? Is that right?
Thanks for any advice!
-David
