I've been wearing minimal/trail shoes going on 15 years.l for everything including packing extremely heavy weight in very rugged terrain. My mates and I did a bit over 60 miles in the Frank Church on a 7 day backpack hunt this year, with packs between 60-85 lbs and the "heaviest" shoe was La Sportiva trail shoe.... No one wanted more boot.
