The Best Camping Shoe

RockDove Memory Foam Down Camper Shoe
Price: $25.99

RockDove was created for five birdwatchers of the Los Angeles Audubon Society in 2002, customizing and resoling hiking boots. For fifteen years they helped local birders and hikers protect their feet while they trekked punishing terrains across southern California’s deserts, forests, and mountains.

As a “boot clinic,” when customers had footwear needs, they took note. And they noticed something that was badly missing in their lives—quality indoor footwear to console their trail-weary and travel-weary feet. So for Christmas that year, they handmade five pairs of slippers for their Audubon customers using a low-cut boot last. Using mattress top memory foam, with arch support copied from boots, the idea was to create slippers for extremely tired feet and the rest is history.

Keeps your feet toasty warm whether indoor or outdoor; terry lined interior provides both comfort and heat insulation without making your feet sweat
Versatile as indoor shoes for home as well as suitable for stepping outside the house to fetch the paper, check the mailbox, or water the lawn
High back lip keeps your slipper snug on your foot, so you can walk safely up or down staircases; easy to slip on without a shoehorn
Cushions and molds to the contours of your foot, so you can relax after a long day of walking or hiking; supported by an extra layer of shock absorbing EVA foam
Smooth upper material repels hair or dust so they won’t need nearly as much cleaning as wool or fur slippers; and when they do get dirty, simply throw them in the wash; keep temperature settings on cold to prevent damage to the memory foam
