And as any experienced traveler knows, there's one element that can make or break your trek: the right pair of shoes.When exploring new cities, climbing through dense jungle or getting lost in all the right ways, you don't want to worry about getting sore feet. The importance of a good travel shoe is why the market for comfortable and durable kicks is so competitive. For consumers, this means a plethora of options. When deciding on the perfect walking shoe, you want to start with the kind of travel you're doing. Are you planning to tackle trails and mountains, or city streets? Will you be traveling in warm weather, wet weather, or a mix of both? From there you can think about fit (support, traction, flexibility), weight (do I need to pack this in a carry-on, backpack, or large luggage set), and of course, style. Once you've settled on the right pair, make sure to break in your shoes before you head out on your adventure. Wear them around the house, at the end of the day once your feet are slightly swollen, or on short walks around your neighborhood. Your feet (and your travel companions) will thank you. Range AC+ The Range AC+ offers a classic look with the comfort and durability that savvy travelers need. It's built with all the elements you need in a great travel shoe: 3-D stretch knit for flexibility and breathability; an EVA midsole for stability and comfort; and the company's patented M Select Grip outsole for added traction. For anyone that plans on some serious hiking or exploring, this shoe delivers. Vessi Everyday Vessi launched its Kickstarter in 2018, promising a lightweight shoe built for all seasons. The 100% waterproof, breathable knit shoe is ideal for mixed-weather vacations where you might get caught in a sudden downpour. Plus, the minimalist style will go with any outfit you pack, making these a standalone travel shoe that will go the distance. Birkenstock Arizona Soft Slide Sandal Birkenstocks Birkenstocks have long been a staple on any traveler's packing list, and for good reason. The moldable cork-and-latex sole mimics the shape of your foot, giving you supreme comfort and support for hours on end. Treat them with care and you'll likely have them for years (and many vacations) to come. Vivobarefoot Gobi II Vivobarefoot Looking for something that can take you from the trails to the boardroom? Consider the Gobi II by Vivobarefoot. The ankle rise boot is made from 100% scarred leather, giving it an upscale but relaxed look that you can wear with jeans, shorts or dress pants. Lightweight and flexible, you can roll up and stow these shoes in your carry-on. Xero Shoes Z-Trail Sandal Xero Shoes The Xero Z-Trail Sandal is breezy and comfortable, yet shrinks down to fit in any carry-on: a purse, backpack, you name it. For travelers who aren't sure whether they'll be finding themselves on a beach in Turkey or a steppe in Peru, these shoes offer exceptional versatility. Add them to your packing checklist and rest easy, no matter where your adventures take you. Sperry Topsider If your travels are taking you to a seaside getaway, Sperry Topsiders are the easy choice. These nautical slip-ons offer classic style (see the moccasin-stitched toe) plus long-lasting comfort (thanks to the flexible sole). Right now they're available at an incredible 50% off, so it's the perfect time to nab a pair. Allbirds Tree Runners When searching for a reliable travel shoe, always keep Allbirds on your radar. The brand designs thoughtful, comfortable shoes that are produced using methods that reduce waste and pollution. So, you and your feet can feel good about investing in a pair.

| This Week's Biggest Sneaker Releases, and Where to Get Them - Esquire Posted: 11 Jul 2019 06:05 AM PDT  We're all coming off strong from a sleepy vacation week, and so is the sneaker world. This week, the sneakers are varied and innovative. Reebok made a bio-based shoe (out of corn and cotton!), which marks another sneaker getting into the sustainability space. Adidas is dropping a bright blue Torsion, an ode to New York City's Max Fish, and a fresh color of Yeezy 350s. Nike rolled out more of its Stranger Things collection (including a Cortez and a Blazer Mid), and D/MS/X, which plays with the standard sneaker silhouette to make something a little more innovative. Here's a full look at the coolest sneaker drops this week.  |
| 3 Mistakes You're Making When You Buy Running Shoes - Gear Patrol Posted: 11 Jul 2019 12:00 AM PDT  Over the course of one mile, running shoes bear the brunt of over 1,400 steps and endure forces three times your bodyweight. No other piece of running gear is subject to that level of abuse — and more critical to your performance. They are literally where the rubber meets the road, yet as a running coach who helps over 150 runners per year, I keep seeing the same mistakes over and over when it comes to buying running shoes. Here are three of the most common mistakes I see and how you can to avoid them. 1. Mistaking Athleisure Shoes for Running ShoesAs the athleisure trend continues, brands will increasingly aim to create eye-catching, low-cost athletic-looking footwear. Made with lower-quality foam and materials, athleisure shoes aren't designed to withstand the kind of abuse purpose-built running shoes are, yet the two are often nearly indistinguishable in appearance. Athleisure shoes are sometimes even marketed as running shoes by retailers. Take the New Balance 635 V2, sold in DSW, Kohl's and Amazon for about $60. It looks like a running shoe, it's even got "lightweight running shoe" in its name, yet do a quick search for it on New Balance's website, and it's absent — a huge red flag these are not true running shoes. In general, don't buy running shoes from discount stores such as DSW, Marshall's or Kohl's — and if you do, cross-check the labeling you see there with the manufacturer. If a shoe doesn't retail for $100 or more, odds are it's more athleisure than running oriented. Shoes on sale are the exception. To weed out athleisure in this case, look at the retail value, or if it's an older model, look at what the latest model costs. 2. Waiting Too Long to Replace Your ShoesGoogle "when to replace running shoes" and most articles will suggest a 300- to 500-mile rule of thumb. While it's a good reference point, very few people keep track of how many miles they have run in a particular shoe, leaving them guessing on when they hit 300 miles, and in most cases holding on to their shoes way past the retirement point. Instead of tracking miles, think in terms of months. It's a lot easier to remember to replace a shoe three to four months after purchase. You'll also want to take note of visual cues that indicate when a shoe should be replaced. Telltale signs include: the grooves in the outsole (bottoms) are now smooth or worn in uneven patterns, and/or there are holes in the upper. Oh and if you find yourself wondering if you should replace your shoes, chances are it's time to get new ones. 3. Assuming a Shoe Is a Good Fit Because It's Featured in an ArticleThis may seem a bit hypocritical coming from a shoe reviewer, but be wary of buying shoes solely because they're featured in a magazine or on a website. I've tested hundreds of shoes, and the one thing I've learned is just because I loved a shoe, it doesn't mean others will feel the same way. If it won an award or was featured in a magazine, it's likely a good shoe; however, it may not be a winning shoe for you. Take the time to read full reviews — don't just look at pictures or buy a shoe because it was named "the best." Look for reviews that explain what type of runner the shoe is suited for and see if you fit that profile. Take note of the details — shoe type (stability or neutral), stack height and weight. Consider whether it is similar to what you're currently running in or what you like — and even if you plan to buy online, go to a shoe store and actually try the damn thing on first. Abruptly switching shoe type, stack height or weight may lead to injury or dissatisfaction because your body isn't used to how the shoe alters movement.

| Allbirds, The 'World's Most Comfortable Shoes,' Now Come In 3 Patterns - Radar Online Posted: 10 Jul 2019 09:19 AM PDT Don't call it a comeback, Allbirds has been here! Whether it's noteworthy strides in sustainability or A-list celebrity supporters, the well-known brand has become known for being comfortable and stylish. That's nothing new, but want to know what is? The latest drop! Allbirds just launched three print patterns, making these sneakers the first printed pairs in the brands' history.
See it: Grab a pair of the Women's Tree Toppers for $115 at Allbirds! The Women's Tree Toppers are the brand's bestselling sneakers, so it was only natural the brand's first foray into patterns began with this design. We're swooning over all three of the designs already. First, there's the Houndstooth, which features charcoal and white jagged checks with black shoelaces and a white sole. We're loving this shoe for being both comfortable and on-trend. Houndstooth is hotter than ever on the runways and now we too can rock the trend in a very comfy and wearable way. The polka dot print is just as sensational, too. It's perfect for anyone trying to branch away from the basic black and white but in a subtle yet fun way. Lastly, there's the ZigZag, which is by far the wildest of the bunch. This pattern has alternating rows of charcoal grey and is blended to perfection with white diagonal lines. It's perfect for someone trying to step outside of their comfort zone in an extremely comfortable way. All three pairs are designed with an extremely breathable mesh knit upper. Forget all of that inevitable summer sweat because our feet will feel light and breezy all season long. Since A-listers like Mila Kunis and Sarah Jessica Parker are fans of Allbirds, it's only a matter of time before we see them rocking the latest pattern designs.
