    Check this out.
    Friday I went to my local post office and picked up a package ( coat I brouht off ebay). As I'm walking back home a woman (who I know) from the post office calls me and says I have another package . An express mail package . So I double back. I cant read the carbon receipt so I dont know who its from. However I do recognize zip code. Its from my dad
    Cant wait to pop the top . I get home and open the box.
    Yes yes yes. A pair of pewter bakin's.
    I'm 44 years old and my dad is 63.
    Fiends for life.

    are nike boots actually tough or are they just sporting a look? could you go hiking in them?

    to be safe, i stuck with a pair of teva during a recent trip to nepal. tough as nails.

    Toughest pair of boots I've ever worn.

    On paper, I don't see why you couldn't go hiking in em, but I'm not sure if they're built for that. Not in terms of durability, but of design.

    There may be better hiking boots from other brands.

    They're comfortable to me, but that's in comparison to Timbs and Goadomes.

    I've never been hiking, so I'm not sure exactly what you need for hiking. Are hiking boots light, because they aren't that light.

    IMO I would describe them as more durable and a tougher version of the Goadome.

    Thanks guys.

    Yeah trekking requires quite a lot. Light, strong and a perfect fit. Walking for several hours each day carrying a full pack for weeks on end through rocky, dusty, rain and snow conditions is very harsh. I did about 350kms (horizontal) spanning 700m-5416m altitude range in 3 weeks. No blisters at all!

    Light? These definitely aren't the boots for you then. They're very comfortable, but not light at all. I'm not sure how my feet would feel if I wore em for upwards of 8 hours walking.

    Fit is true to size
