I'm curious if the many and varied knowledge sources on this forum have articles they can cite with research on injury rates of traditional hiking boots vs lightweight footwear (trail runners or approach shoes).
I'm a convert, BTW, finding that my hiking is happier with lightweight solutions. My Limmer Midweights are languishing in the closet!!
Sooooo…in having discussions with "traditionalists" about the conventional wisdom (safety and injury prevention associated with standard hiking boots), I'd love to be able to respond with citations of research that is on topic.
Anyone?
