I wear trail running shoes all year, I hunt in and out of creeks a lot so they are awesome, I don’t seem to need ankle support tho, downsides are I go through 2 pair a year and everyone that goes hunting with me looks at my shoes and puttees and looks at me like you poor bugger and says where are your boots?
Best move ever going away from a massive leather boot
