Thru Hiker
I might try some Escalantes for every day shoes.In this case the Escalantes but I’m talking about running, not backpacking ...
Used La Sportiva’s in Norway but they gave me ankle issues; I suspect the sudden rise in ‘drop’ did me in.
If I'm doing a hike anything over about 8 miles in shoes I get pain in my inner ankles. I think I'm rolling my ankles with every step and eventually it gets so painful I can hardly take another step, especially downhill. It doesn't seem to matter if it is in, Brookes Cascadia, Altra Lone Peak 3.5s, or Salomon X Ultras. I've found the only workable solution for 20 mile days is to wear my Salomon Quest boots. I sound like a real wimp but I think all of this is due to old leg injuries and my body getting older than my brain thinks it is.
