I repeat something I have said a number of times, say for example, about bicycle 
infrastructure / routes.  Although it can be said about "pedestrian infrastructure / 
routes" pretty much one-for-one (as bicycle infrastructure / routes).  It is this:

There is "infrastructure" tagging, like highway=footway, highway=pedestrian, highway=track, 
highway=cycleway... and these are not in any particular "hierarchy," they simple "are" what they 
"are" (on the ground, validated and verified by eyeballs).

There is "route" tagging, which is putting elements of (roadway, cycleway, sidewalk, 
track, pedestrian walkway...) into a route relation.  If walking route, and part of the 
"local" network of routes, it's network=lwn.


Note that walking/hiking routes must be signed - that is signage on the ground that identifies the route.
