My new fav hiking shoes are lightweight, comfortable, easy to pack

I have a few pairs of hiking boots that are great for the trails, but are too heavy and bulky to pack easily. I ordered a few highly recommended pairs but they weren’t comfortable enough for me.

Then I tried the Antora Merrell 3 sneakers and found my new favorite hiking shoes. Unlike my other shoes that heat up my feet so that I can’t wait to take them off, these are breathable and cool. One of my favorite features is the lace closure so I just slide my feet in – no long shoelaces that I have to continually tie.
