These days, just a retired guy who likes to hike.
Trail runners for me as well. Mostly I wear Hoka Hoka One Speedgoats (though I think the 5 is unfortunately worse than the 4) in dry weather, Topo Ultraventure Pro for wet weather when I need more traction. Gaiters are a must - check out Dirty Girl Gaiters to up your style.
There’s a lemmy bug on this (or something closely related): https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1385
When I feel like bringing a luxury item, it’s my Helinox Chair Zero. Every pound counts, but at my age being able to sit for a few hours without my back hurting too much helps a lot.
