Packing IN shoes!

Don't forget that shoes, especially hiking boots can provide protection for some breakable items packed inside them, or give additional space for socks or other small items.

This space often goes unused because it is so easy to ignore.

CAUTION: if your luggage is not sturdy, especially with soft-sided bags, fragile items even protected inside shoes could break. Ouch!
