I never thought of good shoes as an essential everyday item, but clearly they are. For years mine have been Meindl Respond or Rapide. Also good socks, e.g. Bridgedale. But two other items you should also consider are a good 120 db whistle such as a Fenix NW20; essential to summon aid if you are lost, trapped or being assaulted. At night it would be prudent to carry a 3000 lumen torch, such as a Fenix C7, which will illuminate anything you are likely to encounter when you are outdoors, or if you are investigating a noise in your property, and its strobe function can summon aid.
