Learn how to choose and use the Zpacks Ultralight Camp Shoes for maximum comfort after a long day on the trail. Lightweight, breathable, and protective.

Quick answer

The Zpacks Ultralight Camp Shoes offer a lightweight, breathable solution for relaxing at camp after hiking. They protect your feet from rough terrain while letting them air out.

Why ultralight camp shoes matter

After a full day in stiff hiking boots or trail runners, your feet need to breathe and recover. Ultralight camp shoes, like the Zpacks Ultralight Camp Shoes, provide a comfortable alternative that won't weigh down your pack. The trade-off is that they are not meant for hiking—they are strictly for camp use, where you want protection without the bulk.

How to use Zpacks Ultralight Camp Shoes

  1. Choose the right size: Refer to Zpacks' sizing chart and measure your foot length. These camp shoes have a snug fit to stay secure, so consider sizing up if you plan to wear thick socks. A common mistake is ordering too small; leave room for sock layering in cool weather.
  2. Pack them efficiently: Fold or roll the camp shoes flat and store them in an outer pocket of your backpack. They weigh next to nothing, so they won't affect your load distribution. Avoid stuffing them deep inside your pack where they could get crushed or damp.
  3. Transition at camp: Once you set up camp, swap out your hiking footwear for the camp shoes. This gives your primary shoes a chance to dry out and your feet a chance to air. Don't wear them for short hikes or water crossings—the 4mm foam sole is not designed for extended walking on sharp terrain.
  4. Clean and dry after use: Rinse off dirt and let them air dry completely before your next trip. The breathable mesh dries quickly, but trapped moisture can cause odors over time. A quick shake or wipe after each use prolongs the life of the fabric and foam.
