They are upper mid range. Not Louboutins, but also not cheap shoes either.
Comfy shoes for the elderly or people with foot issues like bunions etc. Some used them for flat terrain hiking but they are not real hiking shoes.

Agreed. The kind of hiking shoes a well-to-do engineer would wear on family hikes, not the serious stuff.

Is there any information about height and weight? Sizes of the clothing or shoes?

Dale Kerstetter was rather small, 5'4, 130 pounds, so I think it would be fairly simple to see if he was possible?

The last article shows faint efforts to use more comprehensive DNA profiling but it looks like that was nipped in the bud.

Mephisto shoes were/are comfy,not very elegant walking shoes for elderly and people with foot issues, bunions and so on. Popular in Germany and Austria (my granny wore them), not sure if anywhere else. Edit, also sold in France.

They sell them here in Canada. Fairly expensive, around $200+.

Yes, upper mid range. In Europe, they are considerably cheaper, around 100$.
