What footwear is suitable for Toronto Bruce Trail?

I'm new to this so any help will be appreciated.



I would prefer going with a Light Trail Shoes like the Patagonia Drifter A/C Trail Shoes (Men's) http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detai鈥?/a>

Basically because they sound more comfortable and I have wide feet which makes it difficult to break in new boots. Also won Outside Magazine 2010 Gear of the Year award.



Or do I need day hiking boots like Keen Oregon PCT Day Hiking Boots (Men's)

Something that has more ankle support. I am only interested in day hikes. I am going through the website but I am having a difficult time determining how the terrain is like.



Or do I really need backpacking boots? I am using the MEC store (mec.ca) category system.

I highly recommend using a hybrid hiking shoe like the New Balance MW977GT. It is going to be a cross between and hiking boot and a long distance walking shoe. It has a very rugged outsole for traction and durability like a boot would have. It's also Gore-Tex which gives it the waterproofing of a boot. The New Balance Roll Bar feature gives it the ankle support and stability of a boot. However, it is very light weight and built for long distance walking like a walking shoe would be. The icing on the cake is it's available in 3 different widths for every half size (D, 2E, 4E). I don't know of anything else on the market that has all of these features and widths available. If you would like to try a comparable running shoe, the New Balance MT910GT has all of the same features but less ankle support and stability. Good Luck and please keep me posted on your progress!
