Human ankles aren't made from glass.

Regular shoes are going to give you bunions in the long run.

There's a reason hiking and activity shoes have ankle support. Ankles aren't glass, but you don't want to roll them in uneven surfaces

Who the hell would want to wear crocs for hiking?

[-] notatoad@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They’re actually pretty popular with hikers. They’re lightweight and comfortable, and also non-absorbent.

Not for the actual hiking part, but they’re great to throw in your backpack and wear around camp at the end of the day, and if they get wet they aren’t going to get heavy so you can wear them instead of your boots if you have to wade across a creek.

The reason hiking shoes have ankle support is because most people already have glass ankles. If you let your ankles strengthen without them then rolling your ankles doesn't equal injury. I went on a long hike just last weekend and rolled my ankles pretty hard on two occations without any pain or injury.

Also lots of "activity" shoes don't have ankle support. See: most basketball shoes, trail/ultra running shoes, football cleats. All shoes that are pretty optimized for performance in sports that have high ankle impact, most are low top.
