I was mostly kidding. I went hiking yesterday with my family and was cursing not having worn actual hiking shoes. I wore some old running shoes and could feel every thing under foot.

Most of the trails that I run on are pretty well groomed, so trail shoes are not necessary, but on a rocky trail, it does make a big difference.
