Light Hiking Boots. Geared toward short and medium hikes (about 1-10 miles) on easy to moderate terrain, light hiking boots offer a little more support than trail shoes without much added weight. This type of boot is usually a good choice for most well-maintained trails.ow-profile trail shoes don't offer significant stability on rugged terrain and may not be ideal for challenging, multi-day hikes. However, lightweight hiking shoes are better suited for short distances on well-maintained trails.
