In all the posts about trail runner type footwear, I have become a bit confused. Are these low trail type shoes with or are these sneaker/running shoes? After the conversations about knee problems and some folks moving into "trail runners" and finding relief, I am up for the challenge but would like to know what species of footwear we are talking about.
Second related question, either here or in Backpacker Magazine I saw some information on tying low top footwear in an unconventional way that would reduce or stop ankle rolling (one of my age old problems). It was a picture diagram with some instruction and had a very unconventional look to it. Anyone recall this?
