You'll know, after you've walked in them a bit carrying a pack (or weights). As I mentioned, if you can set up a ramp (board, maybe) to simulate walking downhill, that will help.

I didn't have much luck finding them on google. Are these hiking boots or steel-toed work boots? You definitely do NOT want the latter for hiking. The military has found that every extra pound on your feet is like carrying an extra 5 lbs. on your back!
