I have been trying to recover from plantar fasciitis in the lead up to our hike this July and I'm now very wary of any shoe. I've seen trail runners recommended here and I'm trying to find a pair that works for my feet, but would it be absolutely crazy to do the Tyndrum to Kingshouse stretch in trainers (specifically Hoka Bondi 9). Not factoring in weather, the photos/videos I've seen of the terrain make it looked like it would be doable, but as someone used to PNW/BC Canada hikes it seems crazy not to be in hiking boots.
Edit: Thank so much everyone for the insight and tips! I LOVE this subreddit and how helpful everyone is.
