What's New, What's Hot is Travel Weekly's look at useful and fun travel gadgets, edited by Joe Rosen. First up, Kizik Madrid Eco Knit Shoes, one of three walkabout products showcased this month. The shoes feature a lace-up construction technology that makes putting them on a convenience for those among us with back problems.

First thing to note: This slip-resistant boot is waterproof and incorporates a membrane constructed to keep your tootsies dry no matter what. Marketed as ideal for casual wear and daily walks, the Dunham Men's Cloud Plus Mid II Boot appears just the right fit, literally and figuratively, for soft adventure hiking and trekking.

No matter how good the shoes, you need the right socks. Available in tall and mid-cut styles, these hiking socks are included in the CEP Outdoor Collection that boasts graduated compression designed to improve circulation and blood flow in targeted areas to help prevent shin splints, fatigue and cramps.

Representative of Solo New York's Re:Cycled polyester collection, the Re:Move Duffel is not only attractive, but also environmentally sound in that it started out as discarded plastic bottles that otherwise would have been an insult to the environment.

From the "you never know when you might need it" collection comes the multiple-mode SolarLight Solar-Assisted Flashlight from the aptly named Gosun company. Thanks to a solar panel integrated into its handle, the flashlight's built-in rechargeable battery, which can also be powered by a standard USB cable, can also charge other electronics in a pinch.
