Most likely if you consider yourself a trail runner or avid hiker your pretty tuned into the environment. That’s why when Scarpa announced they were making a green more eco-friendly shoe called the Spin Planet for trail running I got really excited. Why you ask? Well Scarpa makes some of the best footwear for playing […]
Why did Etnies jump into snow, dropping their fire Jefferson MTW Shoes? I’d say it’s for one simple reason: that just because it’s winter doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look steezy. They took their classic Jefferson Mid, winterized it, and dropped a snowboot skate shoe you can wear on the trail, at the apres and into […]
For the last few years, running has been my stabilizer, and Salomon must have been thinking about me when they rolled out their Outpulse. GORE-TEX Shoes.

When VOITED created their Soul Slipper, it was all about love. Your feet are your truest allies. They take the most abuse over your long hikes and blistering runs. You buckle them into rigid plastic boots, or force them to flex toe to instep to heel over and over, or cram them into tight climbing […]
As we head into the winter months, you may be looking for a pair of slippers that are versatile and durable. Maybe you are looking for a pair that is lightweight and comfortable for indoor use but durable and waterproof so that you can wear them outdoors. We have compiled a list of the six […]
At first glance the Keen Howser III Slide is something of an extravagance. It’s extra. No one actually NEEDS an outdoor-specific slipper, since any slipper is outdoor-specific if you’re brave. But that’s not exactly what this slipper-shoe hybrid is built for. Sure, it’s great to have near the door of the tent when you need […]
