French term or phrase: Les chaussures à tige haute ou mi-haute
Hi everybody,

I can picture these shoes in my head, but I can't think what we call them.

Let me give you some context: It is a text about hiking and making sure to bring appropriate footwear.

"Pour les chaussures à tige haute ou mi-haute, qui sont rigides, enfilez vos deux chaussures et lacez-les de façon homogène, sans trop serrer."
"For shoes with a high or mid-high, rigid upper, put them on while lacing them evenly and, avoid pulling them too tight."

"There are generally two types of cut for a walking boot- mid and high. There is no such thing as a low cut walking boot; this would in fact be a walking shoe. Walking shoes are suited to walks on flat, well-defined trails but do not offer any ankle support or as much protection as boots from debris for rockier walks."
