Less bulky THAN a hiking shoe.

Blundstones are what you want for this.

Or a bootie like a Blundstone. I have these and actually pull them out more often than my Blundstones anymore: https://troentorpsclogs.com/boots/whistler-camel

Sounds like a wonderful trip!


I love my Blunnies! Thanks for suggesting a new brand to try.


Just ordered my first pair of Troentorps. Fingers crossed.


And coming back to say that they are wonderful! Many thanks to the PP who suggested them!

Sounds like the suggestion isn’t needed any longer, but I found the LL Bean-type duck boots perfect for this type of scenario.
