Hard as it is to believe, summer’s about to be a memory reflected in your rearview mirror. There’s still time to pack your overnight bag and set off along the long and winding road leading to your favorite regional getaway — with a stop or two along the way to enjoy a picnic beside a stream or a relaxing woodland hike. Here are a few things to make the journey comfortable:

If you’ve been behind the wheel on your share of driving trips, you’ll know a comfortable pair of shoes go a long way to enjoying a road adventure — and if they also look great for the occasional stop to explore a museum or gallery, so much the better. For men, Kenneth Cole Reaction Men’s Lyon Bit Driver Loafer fits the bill perfectly, available on Amazon. Originally designed specifically for driving, this comfortable, stylish loafer has synthetic uppers and rubber soles to provide durability and traction, whether the footing is a sandy beach, rainy sidewalk or the gas pedal of your Aston Martin.

Remember that picnic we mentioned? If a bear shows when you roll out dessert, you want something on your feet that gives you a good chance of outrunning him. For women, consider the Infinity Footwear Women’s Everon Knit from Medical Scrubs Collection. Designed for medical professionals on their feet all day and night, this comfortable knit-upper shoe has excellent arch support and comes in a host of great colors and fun patterns.

If you plan on hiking, or just need a little something extra for foot comfort, Protalus shoe inserts are the real deal. The design is the result of more than 50 years of medical research and independent, third-party lab tests. These inserts, available on Amazon, offer stability, proper biomechanics, up to 65 percent improved alignment, injury prevention, balanced gait and a boost to athletic performance. A curved heel cup and greater surface area beneath the heel help to better distribute pressure and reduce fatigue body-wide.

Staying hydrated both inside and out is also important, especially if the top’s down on your convertible or your destination involves a desert setting. Oxygenating Hydro-Matrix from Oxygenetix has a soothing aloe vera base and contains hyaluronic acid and sodium PCA to provide deep, lasting hydration. Vegan and cruelty-free, it’s also devoid of parabens, oils and fragrances, and has an SPF factor of 30. Dab some on, then take a long, refreshing swig of water from your Big Bevi Hydration Bottle (also available on Amazon), which holds a road-trip worthy 64 ounces of water and keeps it cold for up to 24 hours. If coffee or tea is your beverage of choice for logging interstate miles, it will also keep drinks hot for 12 hours. This canteen-style water bottle is crafted with a copper coating for a third level of insulation, and has a hefty handle and leak-proof lid.

To prevent the interior of your wagon from taking on a funky vibe by the end of your trip, be sure to bring along the PURGGO Charcoal Odor Absorber. Non-toxic and all natural, this fragrance-free air purifier is made from sustainable natural bamboo charcoal and can hang from the back of a headrest, be placed on the floor or in the trunk (especially if that’s where you’ve stuffed your snorkeling gear or muddy hiking clothes). Bonus: PURGGO is completely asthma- and allergy-friendly, is available on Amazon and lasts for a year or more.
