Outdoor- and ski-boot maker Tecnica takes a timely and comfort-lined step into the casual-shoe market with its retro-hip Stratoliner GMT, aimed squarely at harried denizens of airport security lines everywhere. These textured nubuck slip-ons are all about ease and comfort, with a little bit of stylin' detail to take you from arrivals lounge to oxygen bar in a skip. You'll feel like you're walking on sponges once they're on, though pack a sturdier pair of shoes if you have a full day of pavement pounding ahead or rain's in the forecast. Special toggles fore and aft on the shoes allow you strap them together for highly-compressible packing in the included storage bag, and the treads themselves are marked with Greenwich Mean Time world clock—one hemisphere on each sole—to offer a kitschy reminder of where you came from, and where you're heading.
