You probably picked up by now that Mike and I are travel bloggers. We can pack all of our belongings and be ready to move to our next location within 30 minutes (yes, we’ve timed ourselves). So everything we own has to fit into two suitcases and one big bag. Every time we move, we find ways to reduce the amount of luggage. So when I heard about the Urshuz concept I thought it sounded perfect for us. Now I can have cool summer shoes and flip flops in one.
It took some practice to master snapping the hooks over the soles, but soon I was changing from shoes to sandals pretty quickly.

Here the philosophy of the shoes by Grant (one of the creators):

The philosophy behind Grant’s system was inspired by one of his favorite childhood toys: Lego. Just as kids can build whatever they imagine with the different shapes and colors of the building blocks, Grant thought it would be cool if people could enjoy playing with options and being creative with their own shoes, just as he has been able to for the past fifteen years in his design work. He wanted the consumer to have that same youthful feeling of inspiration and limitless possibility.
