Wish I could get away with my regular dayhiker Merrels for when we ever do actually backpack.
I wear some New Balance Minimus trail shoes for hiking around here, and have used them for dayhiking if we backpack into somewhere and set up a camp and dayhike from there even in the mountains. I wore them on a short 5.5 mile dayhike the other day carrying my daughter in the backpack for the first time. No problems, but flat ground.
I want support when I carry 35 extra pounds or so up mountains, though.

Yeah any backpacking we will do will be in the mountains so def elevation to deal with.
We did a 10 mile total day hike before and the first 5 miles was all steep downhill(that you had to climb back up). I did fine in my trail shoes with a daypack but I think I would have had issues if I had a serious pack on my back.
