| It's mostly personal preference.
I started out with high tops and moved to lighter trail runners. As much as I can, especially in preparation for a tough hike, I do balancing and ankle strengthening exercises. That helps stop my ankles from rolling, but they are still more exposed to hitting rocks or roots with low tops. So far I haven't had a problem with that and it will take a lot for me to switch back to heavy boots for the summer.
