Keen Incline Mid Boots review
Keen touts itself as the company for a “Hybrid Life.” Well, I don’t see anything “hybrid” about the new Keen Incline Mid Boots, unless you consider the combination of damn comfortable boots coupled with warmth and good looks as a hybrid.

Rockport Katrina boots review
Women’s winter boots come in all shapes and styles, but if they’re not waterproof, fancy looks mean nothing when your feet are cold and wet.

Oboz Beartooth Boot review
Hiking boots, especially of the backpacking variety, must be burly. Well, burly is the one adjective out of all available Thesaurus words that describe the Oboz Beartooth boots. The Beartooths are massively burly… so much so that anyone who’s drinking the fast-and-light Kool-Aid will scream away in fear from these old-school style kicks. The Beartooth…

Ahnu Shows Off Revamped Shoes and Boots at 2011 Outdoor Retailer Summer Market
Back in 2007 three friends in San Francisco founded a shoe company with a simple idea: get off the treadmill and head outdoors. Fast forward to 2011 and Ahnu is taking off. Their booth at Outdoor Retailer was hopping, and with good cause: the urban lineup got a major overhaul and their trail tested cross…
Chaco has new sandal and shoe designs at Outdoor Retailer 2011 Summer Market
Face it – not everyone has Chaco feet. It’s true, but some folks just don’t find Chaco sandals and shoes to be very comfortable due to the shape of their foot. I know this is a fact, because my wife is one of them. But Chaco has heard their cries, so they’ve designed new sandals…

Chaco is one of the top manufacturers of outdoor sandals, and they’re banking on that success with the release of new boots and shoes. No longer is Chaco’s domain limited by the naked-toed masses.
