I'm getting into backpacking more instead of just day-hiking. So far my Belleville desert boots have held up pretty well for well most any situation while carrying a pack since that's part of what they were designed for.
My question is to those of you who are avid backpackers/hikers that use another boot/shoe.
Do you think it's worth it to go purchase a dedicated hiking boot or continue using my desert boots which tend to be on the heavier side but offer a solution that doesn't involve spending 100+ dollars.
I'm hoping someone will have some experience with this. Thanks ahead of time.
