Headed out for the weekend, or perhaps longer? With all the restrictions on how much you are allowed to pack (or even how much space you might have in your car for luggage), it's best to pack light and carry versatile pieces. These are a few of our current favorites.
Icebug, one of my personal favorites in shoes and boots that can take quite the beating, has recently put out a new style of sneaker. While it would be more convenient and easy if it had a name with letters that formed, perhaps, a word or two, these are found by their call number, which is DTS3 RB9X GTX. I know.
However, they are super cool shoes, and wildly comfortable. I love the color and the style _ it's nice to wear shoes that are nice looking, let's be honest. But even better, they are soft, supportive, and really hold up. They deal with mud, slush, and rain with no problems at all, and your feet stay dry. The Icebugs have held up equally well hiking, running, going to the gym, and running random errands around town. Something else I love? They have this cool "Boa lacing system" that lets you slip your feet in, then just twist the knob (best way to describe it) on the front tongue until you like the way it fits. Pull it straight back to release _ this makes on and off at the airport (or wherever) fast and easy.
They are waterproof (don't go scuba diving in them, but in all sorts of weather your feet stay dry) and have soft padding in the collar and tongue, as well as ergonomic soles. These tend to run small, order up as suggested by the website. You can order at https://us-shop.icebug.com for about $180.
