[pct-l] boots?

[Yoshihiro Murakami]

Dear Tuula

There is no study concerning the impact on hips. Boots reduce the
strain of knee, but give more impact to Achilles' tendon.

If you feel pain, I recommend softer insole.


> What I am particularly interested in to see is how hiking in shoes will impact on my knees and hips. Both tend to normally suffer a lot during longer hikes....
