That said, theyre not themostcomfortable shoes Ive ever worn.

Theyre also incredibly packable.

Between their versatility and packability, theyre a practical piece Im looking forward to bringing on all my adventures.

I also appreciate that the Vionic Uptown Loafers are a casual footwear option that goes with almost anything.

They may not be mind-blowingly packable, but they sure are versatile.

And that saves space, too.
