depends on the trail. if your trails in your area are more rocky, than its almost necessary to get ankle support. if you have smoother trails, then you can get shoes.
Personally i have approach shoes. these are designed for hiking and light climbing. I would recommend them. trail runners are gay IMO. i have had a pair of approach shoes and put probably over 100 outings on them from hiking to walks on dirt paths trails in the park and gardening over 8 years and they are still going strong. i feel like trail runners would have died after 3 years.
