Tropicfeel Monsoon Core Black Running Shoes
Tropicfeel makes a water shoe that allows you to move from the trail to the lake or from the boardwalk to the beach all day. The Monsoon is a lightweight, airy hiking boot with exceptional traction.

Vessi Men's Every Day Move Sneakers

The upper is comprised of Vessi's unique Dyma-tex material, which has tiny pores too small for water droplets to pass through. The sole is cloudy, with lots of traction on the bottom for off-road excursions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Should I Pack Shoes?
Clean them thoroughly before filling them with small clothing items such as socks or underwear to retain their form. Then, wrap the shoes in a cloth or plastic bag and either places them sole-first against the wall of your suitcase or stuff them wherever they will fit.
How Should I Clean My Travel Shoes While on the Road?
Hand wash them rather than using a washing machine, and never dry them. If they're extremely filthy, run them through a mild spin wash cycle and air dry them. Remember to remove the insoles, as they can shrink or lose their cushioning in the wash.

How Do You Know When Your Shoes Need to Be Changed?
As a general rule, shoes can last for 500 kilometers on average. If you haven't been tracking your mileage, Mendeszoon suggests a “taco test” to see if it's time.
“When you take off your shoe and fold it if it folds in half extremely easily and does not spring back, that signifies the shoe has passed its prime,” he explained. Check to see if the traction on the bottom has worn down to the midsole. If this is the case, it's time for a new pair.
