Naturehike Down Booties

3.8 on Amazon (48 ratings)

The single best comfort-per-gram item above Dingboche; useless as an outdoor shoe, so most people end up carrying these AND something for outside.

What you get

  • Genuinely warm feet in an unheated dining room
  • Packs to nothing
  • Doubles as sleeping-bag insulation on a cold night

What it costs you

  • Indoor only — the sole is not a sole
  • Down flattens if it gets damp
  • Build quality is inconsistent — this is a budget item and the reviews say so

Do not buy this if: Treks that stay below 3,000 m. Your feet will be fine in socks.
