Hiking Shoes
Q: I am looking in purchasing a good pair of shoes for horseback riding and would like to make them work as hiking shoes as well. I understand the basic need for a good riding shoe, but is there a shoe/ boot that will work for both?
I ran through couple of sites like Merrell, La Sportiva but non of these have a store in bangalore, india. Can anyone tell me where i can get good hiking shoes in bangalore ?

I am looking to buy new hiking shoes and I do some kayaking so I wanted to buy dual purpose hiking shoes. I wanted to know if anyone had any of these shoes and how they were on wet surfaces. My current hiking shoes do not do well on wet rocks.
