getlost75 newbie Registered: 01/04/09 Posts: 2 Loc: Illinois	Does anyone know the difference between backpacking boots and hiking boots? I was checking out some websites and they have 2 different listings for there boots, backpacking and hiking. Does anyone know what the difference is between the two? If there is a difference, does anyone have a preference for use when backpacking?
