Pre-trip Planning: Shoes

We need to keep our packs as light as possible, so trip footwear needs to be versatile, lightweight, and comfortable.   Other than an early stop in Iceland, all of the places we will be visiting will be sunny and warm, which is great from a packing standpoint.  Our plan is to bring warm socks and old running shoes to wear and ditch in Iceland, and then spend most of our remaining days traveling in our trusty Havaianas flip flops. 

For running, light hiking, and days when our dogs are just barking, we will slip on our new Merrell barefoot shoes. 

His: Merrell Trail Glove in Deep Olive

 





Hers: Merrell Pace Glove in Lychee







We’re just breaking these shoes in but already love the look and feel of them.  They are small but mighty - comfortable, breathable, and washable.  Their low-profile look works with shorts or jeans and since they are designed to be worn barefoot, we can cross having to pack socks off of our list!
