Zip it

One of the necessary ass pains that we cant live without and increases our pack weight significantly is hiking shoes.  Even while I am in the tropics it's likely that I will need my hiking shoes and when I need em, I really need em.  I usually end up clipping my low top hikers on the outside of my pack where they dangle around hit people that I walk past.  If there was a way to somehow make this more convenient I would be all over that shit.  And now there is: introducing the Timberland zipper show.  Its light weight and compact and still looks pretty functional, it actually looks a lot like 5-10s approach shoes.  I am sure it is not going to provide a great deal of protection to the foot should you step on a golf ball size rock but hey its better than slippas right.  Check it out in more detail here:  http://shop.timberland.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11624708
