Light Backpack

Best way to pack brand new shoes into small backpack?
I will be bringing some new shoes on an international trip. I am packing extremely light to I need to fit these into a backpack. I don't want to leave them in the box (too big), but I am afraid if I pack them with just shoehorns inside, the outside will get messed up. Is there any way to pack them securely using as little room as possible?
Thanks
Stuff them with other things, like socks, underwear or even T-shirts. That way your shoes will not be squeezed and you will safe space at the same time.
If you are afraid to scratch them, put them into socks.
On the way back they will be worn, in that case, put them into a plastic bag (like the ones you get in the supermarket, before you fill them. The plastic keeps the smell and possible dirt to the shoes or the clothing if that is dirty.
Best to fill the area between and around them with soft clothing as well. It might take all clothing you take for your trip to cushion your shoes.
If you run out of clothing before the job is done, consider to make a core of something more solid.
But remember the liquids rules for flying. So your bottle of Deodorant might not be the best one in this case.
