dianeh newbie Registered: 05/03/10 Posts: 4 Loc: Fort Collins, CO	Regarding hiking boot fit, keep in mind that your feet will swell also. Excellent and essential suggestions have been submitted. My preference and thought is that on a long hike a good pair of comfortable boots are best. Edited by dianeh (05/04/10 02:18 PM)
