#154026 - 08/25/11 07:28 PM Steel toed boots, too heavy?
mana member Registered: 06/16/11 Posts: 24	I just bought my husband Carhartt steel-toed hiking boots. They were a great deal and are multi-functional (he can use them to hike and for work). Was just wondering peoples experiences with this kind of boot? Are they too heavy for long hikes?? Try and stay dry in the Northeast this weekend! Edited by aimless (08/29/11 11:09 PM)
