Climbing in Using running shoes to hike Mt St Helens

Climbing in running shoes

I am hiking/climbing Mt St Helens in 8 days, and I haven't found a pair of hiking boots that I like. My feet are very particular, and I am very concerned that even should I find a pair of boots that I like before the climb, that they will not be broken in in time. At this point I am inclined to use my Brooks Adrenaline or Ghost (which I use for running and hiking) and buy a new pair if I damage them, rather than run the risk of having to stop the climb due to foot pain. I have strong ankles so I'm not as concerned about twisting an ankle as I am of developing arch pain. Any tips on this?
