footwear question for Lauterbrunnen area

The types of hikes (easy to moderate) I may do would be the following: north face trail, murren/grutschalp, mannlichen-kleine scheidegg, hiker's loop from lauterbrunnen, etc. Are hiking boots absolutely necessary for these types of hikes? My Keen shoes are broken in and comfortable. Any suggestions would be helpful Thanks Joe.

Some of these trails (while flat, wide, and mostly level) have rocks, sticks, and various indentations that could lead to a twisted ankle if you are not paying attention. -- KimSanJose
