Ooh! I like these:

Shoes that fold in half and zip up. If they fit in jacket pockets it looks like a good solution to taking a proper pair of shoes on your travels...

    Cool.

    However, I'd be worried about the zips and I'd prefer them to fold the other way so I can put them in my bag when the soles are dirty.

    Interesting concept. The zip's are innovative but probably not that useful or necessary. Plimsolls have always been available as a packable second pair of shoes, or for shoes with a bit more protection around the sole, there's a multitude of minimalist trail running shoes out there which are just as lightweight and portable.

    Have to agree they fold the wrong way. Kinda like my sandals, great in theory but not really in practice
