[net.travel] Hiking Boots

sundar (12/29/82)

 	I am sorry if this is not the appropriate group for this
	news item. This is the only one I am aware of that comes
	close to the group I want to address.

     Have anyone used hiking boots made by Nike ? They rather look like
     a pair of running shoes and feel very light. They sell for about
     $60 in a local store. The hiking boots I have seen people use are
     usually heavier (I think they weigh more than 1Kg), look very
     sturdy and have Vibrahm soles ( and most of them are made in Italy ).
     The price range is $50-$90. Any comments, tips (are the Nike boots
     worth $60 in terms of durability and comfort?) ?
