GrumpyGord member Registered: 01/05/02 Posts: 945 Loc: Michigan	On my first backpacking trip I used my steel toed work boots. They were heavy but I wore them six days a week and they were comfortable. I did get regular hiking boots after a few trips but I really had no complaints about the work boots.
