Title says it all. I'm used to heavy boots in the backcountry and I just lost them (it's a long and dumb story). Opening day is next Saturday (a week from tomorrow) and I need something to wear for next weekend. I'll be going out about 3-5 miles from the trailhead, 2,500' of elevation gain in steep country, mostly off-trail.
I have two options:
-Wear my trail runners that I've used for on-trail backpacking that I know fit me
-Buy a pair of boots, probably lighter non-leather ones that don't have much of a break-in period
What would you do? Looking for recommendations if I go the boots route
