Funny anecdote-

The first thing my wife did when the east coast blackout hit - was put a good pair of hiking shoes on! I do love that women!

I'm in the same boat with you about casual dress and shoes are always an important consideration. In the winter I can were nice looking leather hiking boots and in the summer I were low cut leather hiking shoes. I could easily grab my bag and hit the trails.

Don’t ever under estimate the joy of comfortable shoes, especially in an urban environment were you may be forced to move on foot!
