Tropic Ultimate travel shoe features
The Expeditioner Toiletry bag measures only 6″by10″ (and 3″ deep) but due to a unique design lets you pack quite a bit in there. Here are a few pictures of the Tropic Ultimate travel shoe
and here are some of the features as compared with other types of sneakers
