UPDATE 6/12: Reposting as the last day to back this Kickstarter is Thursday June 13th

Tropicfeel travel shoe features
The Tropicfeel Canyon shoe bills itself as “the all-terrain sneaker with 4-in-1 versatility: providing the benefits of aqua shoes, the comfort of sport shoes, the technical outsole materials of hiking shoes, and the styling of your favourite daily pieces.”
