I have always used light to mid-weight hiking boots with metal arches
for the strong support. Some time ago I developed a problem with my
transverse arches and need orthotics. I have to be careful to find
boots that will accommodate this. The boots that I like are made by
Montrail. I have thought about possibly changing to trail running
shoes, but never have tried them for back-packing. Until recently I
used them for trail running and they have pretty good support, high
ankle coverage compared to other running shoes, solid toes to shield
from stones and toe stubs, and high traction gripping soles. You
might think about trying something like that.
