I would like to wear something supportive, but less bulky than my beloved Merrell hiking boots on our trip to Switzerland this fall. I am not athletic and I know the trails we will choose will be easy to slightly moderate in difficulty-not seeking anything really rugged.
Would it be best to choose a lower cut, Merrell hiking shoe, or could I stick with a Hoka or Asics or other well cushioned and supportive walking shoe? I know some of the paths will even be paved, but I just want to be sure I have good support for my feet and ankles without too much weight.
We will be in Mürren for a week, then on to France. I don’t want to clomp around in heavy boots/ shoes for the whole trip, but this will be my main shoe as we are packing lightly.
Thanks!
