Here are Your New Shoes, Ready for Your Travel

We would all like to put the non-travel, pandemic-y Annis Horrabilis of 2020 behind us. And in this spirit, we’re offering you some of the newest shoes, sneakers, and boots on the market to inspire your hiking and walking when you travel soon.

Lowa Classy Cold Weather Mocs

Be it for commuting, for everyday cold weather use or just to keep by the door for outdoor tasks, the slip-on Harrison II GTX Lo will prove its worth in the winter.

With its cozy Partelana® lining for extra warmth, and VIBRAM®’s acclaimed Arctic Grip Trac® outsole for outstanding traction on slick, wet ice, this is a highly capable, versatile winter shoe. Durably waterproof/breathable.

These are nice looking mocs, easily nice enough for work, but great for yard work too!

Lowa Harrison GTX $200

Lowa Locarno GTX Travel Shoe

This lightweight outdoor and adventure travel shoe is trail-worthy, yet perfectly suitable for everyday casual wear. It remains true to its outdoor roots, with Inverted Monowrap frame construction for stability, a hybrid DynaPU/DuraPU midsole for superb support, rebound, and shock absorption, and a lower profile outsole for a nimble, close-to-ground feel.

Durably waterproof/breathable.  You do have to tie the laces on these, however.  Wide sizes, too, in brown, anthracite, forest, or black.

Lowa Locarno GTX Travel shoe. $210

Cocktail sneakers “The Outsider” Nice Enough for a Date!

A luxurious, black-colored calfskin leather ankle-boot style sneaker with ankle strap and crisscrossed silver-colored metallic piping.  These don’t fit like sneakers, so order a size up.   The cork insert that comes with each sneaker creates a smaller half size when placed under the kidskin sock lining, so for example, by slipping the cork into your size 8, it becomes a 7.5.

• Whole sizes only; half sizes order up
• Signature sunset-orange sock lining made of breathable kidskin
• Performance-level insole made of high-density, closed-cell foam
• Deep heel cup provides better support and shock absorption
• Calfskin leather
• Available in blush and black

Cocktail Sneakers Outsider $240

Tropicfeel Canyon Core Black sneakers; Light and Springy

These are some of the lightest shoes I’ve put on in years!  I like the laces, nobody has to tie them they stay in place.

But I prefer to have permanently tied laces than to look like a senior citizen with slip ons. Best of both worlds!

The canyon is the all-terrain sneaker with 4-in-1 versatility: providing the benefits of aqua shoes, the comfort of sports shoes, the technical outsole materials of hiking shoes, and the styling of your favorite daily pieces.  In sage, navy, black, grey, rosewood red, and wasabi green

Ren’s Shoes: Finland’s Hippest New Import, Made from Coffee Grounds

Founded in the heart of Helsinki, Finland, Rens started as a conversation between two sneakerheads about the environmental impacts of the global sneaker industry and the less-than-stylish sustainable options on the market.

They knew it could be done better.

Since that day, the pair has assembled a group of like-minded misfits from all over the globe to produce the sneaker that they always wanted. The world’s first sneaker made from coffee and recycled plastic launched to the world in the summer of 2019. Now, thousands of people from every corner of the planet are sharing in that original vision: sustainability doesn’t have to be boring.
