- Ankle support is essential for most people. The whole point of a boot is so that your foot and ankle are properly supported and protected. Many manufacturers now have a line of hiking shoes, these are just like hiking boots but are more lightweight and don’t have ankle support. In most cases these are perfectly good, I have a set of merrells and have been on many hikes with them and never once had problems with an ankle. Ankle support depends entirely on two things - Terrain, and luggage. If you plan to hike uneven terrain with steep inclines then you will need ankle support. If you will be carrying a backpack or something similar then you will also need support as your balance will already be compromised by the extra weight.
