These Xero Shoes saved space in my travel bag—and strengthened my feet

Three pairs of Xero Shoes best suited for travelers

Zero-drop minimalist footwear was once considered a niche specialty, but has gained popularity among enthusiasts of foot health and natural movement. And I'm one of their biggest fans -- as a full-time traveler, their packability and ability to increase foot strength is a win-win on the road. I've crafted a Xero Shoes review guide based on three pairs I've traveled with, so you can decide if any are worthy of your suitcase.

Why Xero Shoes? They've been in business for over 15 years, have engineered more than 50 unique pairs of shoes, and offer a whopping 5,000-mile sole warranty. In short, they've been in the barefoot game for a while, and balance reliable quality with innovation nicely.

I decided to find out for myself by packing the same suitcase twice: once using a compression bag and once the old-fashioned way. I wanted to see how much space I could actually save, how wrinkled my clothes would get, and whether the hassle was worth it. Here’s what happened.
So, what is compression packing?

Basically, compression packing is a way to squeeze your clothes down to take up less space. You use a compression bag or compression packing cube to push the air out and flatten everything. The idea is that you can bring the same amount of clothes, but they’ll take up less room. This means you might actually have space for an extra outfit or two (or some souvenirs on the way home).
How I tested compression packing
To put it to the test, I packed for a standard long-weekend trip. The idea was to keep everything realistic, just enough clothes for a three to four-day getaway without overdoing it. Here’s what I packed:

Are luggage covers TSA approved? What travelers should know before using one

They're trendy and protective, but do they actually pass the TSA test?

If you've ever had your suitcase come down the airport baggage carousel with a new scratch, dent, or black mark that wasn’t there before, you’re not alone. I’ve had my favorite carry-on come back looking like it went through a war zone, which is when I started considering luggage covers. But if you're planning to use one, you might wonder: Are luggage covers TSA-approved?

The short answer is yes, luggage covers are TSA-approved, but there are a few things you should know before wrapping your suitcase up like a Christmas present.
What are luggage covers, anyway?
