• OK, I've searched but not found a huge amount on this topic...

    What casual/off the bike shoes do people take when bike packing/light touring? I took some converse last time I did a 3-4 day trip but seem to remember they're quite heavy. Are there any light weight recommendations?

  • I used to take a pair of plimsolls, tackies or whatever people call them. Or a pair of light Keen sandals. Although, I have been known not to take any other shoes apart from my Shimano MT91's. Ever since I did my Dungeness to Durness trip when, as I dozed outside my tent in the evening sunshine in a field near Spalding (exotic, I know) a fox ran off with one of my nice little sandals. Managed the rest of the 1800 miles (I rarely take a direct route, in case you're wondering) with just the boots. Even if they were a bit ripe by the time I got home.
