Depends how else you tag them. Afaik, "highway=path foot=designated"
is supposed to be (or is, in mapnik at least) equivalent to
"highway=footway". Though I'm still unclear how one is supposed to
distinguish between a smooth, wide urban footpath and a hiking trail.
(And similarly, how to distinguish between a bike path and a mountain
bike track).
