Re: > "One hiking trail I know of the locals usually go bare foot, not only because of poverty but also terrain. So the foot ware would be a guide, not a rule.
Agreed. That's also true of most paths and footways in rural eastern Indonesia, many of which are steeper, rockier or muddier and more exposed to fall risk than some of the "via ferrata" paths in Europe. (They often even have wooden ladders to aid climbing up steep cliff sections). It probably would have been nice if we had one type of tag for all pedestrian routes including foot/walking/hiking/pilgrimage, but since both "hiking" and "walking" are widely used, I agree with documenting them in a similar way and mentioning the other option on both wiki pages.
