If there’s one common feature of Filson and Birkenstock, it’s their mission to create designs based on quality and versatility. With this purpose in mind, these two brands have decided to join forces to create the ultimate collection built on craftsmanship and style. Based on classic Birkenstock designs and carrying Filson’s stamp of quality construction, these four new footwear options are essential for anyone seeking high-quality shoes. From the classic Birkenstock London style to cozy boots, there’s something for everyone in this collection. 

The Filson x Birkenstock collection

Available in one colorway, the Filson x Birkenstock Skykomish boot is all about using the highest quality materials and construction. This design uses Filson’s waxed cotton Tin Cloth, a cleated outsole, and Birkenstock’s famed footbed.  Birkenstock’s Deep Blue footbed has a four-layer support for shock absorption and maximum comfort. The boot’s uppers are made with oiled nubuck leather and Filson’s signature oil-finish Tin Cloth mixture for further weather protection. With an anatomically shaped toe box and plenty of support in the midsole, this boot is ready for an all-terrain adventure.

The Lahti boot comes in two chic colorways and contains Filson’s iconic Mackinaw Wool for those seeking a cozier option. Available in Forest Green/Roast and Flame/Mink, these boots are perfect for keeping your feet warm during chilly weather. With the same insole and midsole features as the previous boot, these shoes have the same comfort and stability. The uppers on these boots vary, with the Flame/Mink option carrying Mackinaw Wool with suede and the Forest Green/Roast boot made with wool and oiled nubuck leather. This boot’s outsole is constructed with a rubber cork and a cork running board. 

It wouldn’t be a Birkenstock collaboration with the famed London style. Featuring Filson’s dual-strap adjustment and moccasin-toe construction, this iconic design is available in two classic colorways. Containing leather uppers and an anatomic cork/latex footbed, this version of the London style is much more fashion-forward and timeless. The entire collection is available via Birkenstock’s 1774 and Filson’s website, with prices ranging from $375 to $625.

What sailors in the Race to Mackinac, America’s oldest freshwater race, wear on their wrists
The race from Chicago to Mackinac Island is a days-long battle against the Great Lakes. In that kind of contest, you need a watch as tough as the job.
Boat, Sailboat, Transportation

The Race to Mackinac has been run since 1898, when five boats set out from Chicago. Today it covers 333 statute miles up Lake Michigan, crosses into Lake Huron at the Straits of Mackinac, and finishes off Mackinac Island — and it is not an easy voyage. It is also not a gentle one. Sustained gales flattened big chunks of the fleet in 1911, 1937, and 1970, and after a deadly storm in 2011, the Mac's reputation for danger stopped being theoretical. The fastest boats finish absurdly quickly now, with an all-time record of 18 hours and 50 minutes set back in 1998, but most crews are out there for two or three nights. The sailors alternate, sleeping in shifts of four hours each, until they (hopefully) make land.

It might seem tough to imagine doing that once — now, try doing it two dozen more. For those who make the journey at least 25 times, the prize is entry into the Island Goats Sailing Society, founded in 1959 and now several hundred strong. Rack up 25 Chicago Macs and 25 from Port Huron, and you become a Double Goat. The nickname, as the story goes, comes from the aroma a crew carries after days at sea with no shower. All things considered, this is a tough, electric, occasionally dangerous race. The Chicago Yacht Club hosts the race annually in mid-July, and that's exactly where I went to look at watches.
