I through hiked the Appalachian Trail last year wearing [these](http://www.amazon.com/Salomon-Mens-XR-Mission-Running/dp/B0054PID46) Salomon trail runners, and I was very happy with basically zero blisters. They last quite a while and have substantial traction for rocks, mud, etc.

I prefer trail runners because they have significantly more grip and traction on wet and muddy surfaces compared to running shoes, but they are much lighter than boots. I prefer the lack of ankle support simply because it's more comfortable for me.

I still have a pair of Lowa hiking boots for when I'm hiking in very rugged or cold terrain, but for fall, summer, spring hiking in light-moderately rugged terrain I prefer trail runners.
