As a travel writer and outdoorswoman, I spend more time in airports than I care to admit. On average, I fly once a month—much less than other folks in the industry, but still enough to allow me to expertly hone in my packing skills. Over the years, I’ve learned what travel essentials can make or break an easy day of flying. That includes a quality pair of noise-cancelling headphones (your babies are cute but loud, sorry), a packable blanket (why are airplanes so dang cold?!) and the best airport shorts, a.k.a. a durable, comfortable pair of slip-on shoes that make TSA a breeze.
So when I got my hands on Grundéns’ new Deck-Boss Shorty Sherpa Boots, I was stoked, and honestly a little surprised. Of all the places to find my new favorite airplane shoe, I never expected it from… a hardcore fishing brand. As an angler, most of my gear has a very specific purpose for days on the water; the crossover between real life and fishing is rare. But these slip-on shoes looked like something anyone could enjoy, regardless of fishing.
