This is the only one I am aware of that comes close to the group I want to address. Have anyone used hiking boots made by Nike ? They rather look like a pair of running shoes and feel very light. They sell for about $60 in a local store. The hiking boots I have seen people use are usually heavier (I think they weigh more than 1Kg), look very sturdy and have Vibrahm soles ( and most of them are made in Italy ). The price range is $50-$90. Any comments, tips (are the Nike boots worth $60 in terms of durability and comfort?) ? Sundar Iyengar decvax!cwruecmp!sundar
