Mid Shoes

Mid-Height Shoes

The intermediate height, halfway between low and high: the upper rises above the ankle bone without wrapping around the ankle.

It's the most common compromise for trail hiking, because it protects against rocks and ground-level moisture while maintaining freedom of movement. A high-top really only makes sense with a heavy load or on unstable terrain.
