Yes absolutely! Even if this hike is not particularly technically demanding - you are out in nature. Hiking shoes with a good profile make sense because you will be hiking on rough gravel paths. Here you have a better step with a hiking sole. In addition, it is damp and wet in some places in the gorge itself. It can be slippery there. Hiking shoes can keep you from slipping here.  In our opinion, mid-height hiking boots are sufficient. However, you can also wear hiking boots that reach over the ankles.
