    What is the difference between hiking boots and work boots? Will hiking 7 miles in work boots hurt my feet?

    By HikingOn | April 18, 2009

    I am going on a trip to Canada and will be hiking around 7 miles a day. I have a cheap pair of work boots that are broken in fairly nicely. Will these be sufficient? They seem like they would but, they are steel toe and don't look anything like a pair of hiking boots. If not where can I find a fairly nice cheap pair of hiking boots?

      If your work boots are broken in and comfortable, go with them! Newer boots may not conform to your feet comfortably, and the trail is NOT the place to find out!

      Good luck!
