for shoes, I find that properly fit/arched running shoes make the best hiking shoes. hiking-specific shoes or boots are typically for keeping water out but aren't really better for regular hiking as they can often be heavy and breathe poorly.

Interesting. I feel running shoes might be slippery? Specially for climbs?

deeper tread that you would find on hiking shoes mostly just gives you the ability to not slip in mud as much. for rocks or slopes, I don't think they give any more grip
