Is there any difference between apres snow boots and hiking boots? Instead of buying snow boots, can we use waterproof hiking boots instead (Karrimor's for example)? Appreciate if anyone can help. Thanks.

In the days of limited air baggage allowance and finances... there's no difference at all really.. stick to your hiking boots, the others will only gather dust when you get home!

I think a good compromise would be an Ugg type boot. They are very popular with women, and girls in the snow states of North America. You could wear them for traveling, apre ski, and light messing around in the snow. There are alternative brands, which are better value. Much warmer than unlined hiking boots. Given the prevailing weather in the UK, pretty useful at home too.
because I'm so inclined .....

No difference really, but as people have said if you get a pair of hiking boots they are good for any weather back here and you will use them more. Depends what you fancy, and whether you will go walking back here in UK.

I think for a weeks holiday you need no more than your hiking boots ,,, save the money and spend it on something else :thumbup:

I always just bring my trainers, and I've never had a problem wearing them to walk to the shop etc. And, of course, I wear them on the plane/train as well so I don't have to bring any additional footwear, other than my ski boots, and slippers if the accommodation require them.
I admit, though, that I don't indulge in any 'apres' - does this require walking boots :?: :lol:

Hiking boots offer much more support for the feet and ankles than Ugg's, which are usually considered a fashion item in the UK, neither use nor ornament :D
