I have to admit, prior to JonBenet's murder, I was unaware of the brand, Hi-tec. Seven years ago, our family was into hiking. We researched hiking boots and not once did we run into this brand. I remember shoes with lights but not any with compasses on the shoestrings.

I just did a little surfing. If Hi-tec made a shoe/boot with compasses on the strings, they are no longer made. The Hi-tec homepage only lists one style of boot for children and no shoes at all. Of course, their product line may have been different in '96.
