I don't for one minute believe Burke owned Hi-Tec shoes or boots; not with, not without, a compass on the laces. I believe Burke MAY have had a pair of shoes or boots with a compass on the laces. I believe that's as close as BPD is going to get - a misunderstanding of the term "high tech" vs the logo "Hi-Tec". I will bet Burke and his friend don't even know what "Hi-Tec" is. That is just how unaware of the minds of children these "detectives" were and probably still are.
