Dougie - Hey all I'm saying is its good to have options. Whether carrying in over boulders or climbing through all kinds of slippery shite where you know a pair of your norm trail walking calf boots are going to not grip as well those your wearing or day trips from base camps up vertical shite. I know what I'll have on my feet... and even though they're only sport shoes not slipping or falling rather than then needing ankle protection is the key at that instant.
All I'm advocating is a horses for courses approach whilst one of those options is light and not taking up much room. They're a damn good go to more often than not when you can reach out dead in front of you and there's when you are climbing. I say climbing because its no longer a hike...
