I've been told that a pound of shoe on your feet is the equivalent to 5 extra pounds in your pack. When I go out I wear Bates, which are a heavy sturdy combat/police patrol boot. I work in them and have several different pairs. One of which is strictly just a hiking/out in the woods boot. Should I reconsider my boot selection or is this just an ultralite nut that has gone so far as to remove tags from clothing to reduce weight jabbering on when it doesn't really matter because I'm not going farther than 20 miles?
