These skate shoe-inspired PataGuccis are so chic, they might have the Italians following in their footsteps. The Patagonia Activist’s compressible nylon uppers are seam-sealed for weather protection, quick drying and supremely packable. Combined with a high-traction tread and super-comfy fit, these are in the running for ultimate camp shoe.
