switched away from boots to beefy tennis shoes or trailrunners with neoprene socks for snow. bring strap on spikes and spent all day descending in blizzard icey grand canyon and was so impressed I'll never go back to boots for trails. way more comfort, less ankle support which doesn't affect me. way less weight on your feet (much worse than weight on your back). better breath-ability.

Only time I need boots now is for hunting where there is no trails.
