Hiking boots (and shoes) are unbeatable for outdoor exploration. However, they make terrible casual campground footwear, as their laces and unweildy bulkiness don’t translate well to relaxation.
As such, it’s recommended that you keep something simpler and more comfortable at your campsite to help you wind down and chill out after a long day on the trails.
Coincidentally, one of outdoor gear’s biggest, most recognizable names just dropped the perfect thing. The North Face’s Base Camp Waterproof Mules are the ideal blend of comfort, convenience and capability.
Slip into something more comfortable
The most important thing about aprés hike footwear is comfort. If you don’t have comfort, you might just have hiking boots all over again, and then, why bother at all?
Luckily, the Base Camp Waterproof Mules have that nailed down. The upper is made from soft and lightweight EVA foam and boasts the brand’s Thermoball insulation.
