I know I am in the minority but I use a good trail running shoe and carry about 40 lbs no problem
Most serious hikers are going this route now. I do the same thing.
Nice and light on the feet and they dry out quick.

Newer studies on running and distance commuting are showing that less shoe is better. Makes for stronger, more nimble feet.

Is a trail running shoe different than a trail hiking shoe?

Wish I could get away with my regular dayhiker Merrels for when we ever do actually backpack. But I have a former foot injury so will def need the ankle support a higher boot gives. Especially if we are doing a trip with lots of steep downhill(like going to the bottom of the Grand Canyon).
So that might be something the OP has to take into consideration.
