I am a trailrunner training for a 100 miler. A few months ago I sprained my ankle pretty badly and have been wearing boot style ankle braces since. A friend suggested the Montrail hardrocks and a high top running shoe. Could these be used for ultra distance running? Or did she mean the lower top hardrock trailrunners?

Jenny. Any shoe with a little ankle support would be good for you at this point. This shoe was built on the same platform as the low top runner... so, think of it as a low top runner with mid-height ankle support. The mid-height Hardrock has been used in many an ultra race and I think you'll find this to work out well for your needs. Hope this helps and good luck!
