Hiking, ice fishing, mountain biking... if you're heading out to do any of these, packing as much gear into as little space as possible is key. Kuru footwear is made to give you the support you need, yet has collapsible uppers that makes it ideal to stash in your pack. With the bonus of giving a comfortable, sock-like fit.

They've got an urban style that works for street wear, and the KuruSole® Midsole Chassis with Orthotic HeelKradl® makes them durable and high-performing enough to wear as trail shoes. And since that means you'll be subjecting these kicks to mud, dirt, water and other nasty stuff, the uppers are water and stain resistant and offer breathability and moisture control. (Which also helps keep the after-use odor lever down.)

Their best-selling Chicane (top), features their Kribs asymmetrical lacing system that wraps around your foot, giving you the extra support you need on the trail. The Halcyon (middle), has a more sneaker-like look for everyday use and an antimicrobial treated liner. Or grab the Slipstream (bottom), a slip-on with a stretch heel and side stretch panels for easy on and slipper-like comfort.

It almost seems wrong to be this comfortable on the trail.
