On Your Feet is all about that new shoe feeling- from the first time you open the box until they’re worn into the ground. Sometimes we’ll sift through the constant Air Jordan releases to bring you the gems other people will leave on the shelves, and sometimes we’ll slide on reclaimed leather loafers from Prague, but we’ll always focus on comfortable shoes with appealing and creative aesthetic. So lace up your new kicks and stand on the precipice of adventure, where will we go together?

When it comes to footwear brands, Clarks has earned its place as one of the most historic and prolific. Since 1825, there isn’t a style they haven’t produced, in top form and with the highest quality materials. From classic looks to modern trends, every pair that comes off their line is sure to be a hit, and they never stop innovating. The newest example is the Tor collection, taking silhouettes that have been around forever, and reimagining them with exciting materials and leading edge technology.

Need a unique pair of Oxfords? The Farli Limit takes the time-tested style and turns it into something new entirely by covering the outside in buttery grey nubuck. The smooth interior lining is soft and supple, with a cushioned footbed and rubber outsole for next level comfort. They look great with slacks, jeans, or shorts, and they feel great too. It isn’t a look that fits everyones’ work place, but it is great if you’re a little more daring in your everyday wardrobe.

If you’re looking for something a little more traditional, without sacrificing comfort and quality, the Gambeson Walk might be for you. The natural tobacco brown upper is crafted from rich nubuck, paired with a clean toebox and sides for a simple look. The Gambeson Walk borrows elements from espadrille shoes, with a lightweight, flexible outsole. It’s attached to the upper via Hessian welt, giving it a natural, unfinished look that’s distinct for any shoe, especially a dress shoe.

With spring already well under way, it’s a perfect time to be moving from those dark leather loafers to something a little brighter, and the Tor collection strikes that balance perfectly. They’re also a lot more versatile than your average dress shoes, which is going to be important as you start venturing from the office to the lakeside, or from a country walk to a wedding.

California’s national parks reflected in Vince pre-spring collection
Adopt Future Heritage with the new collection from Vince
Man and woman in Vince holiday attire

The fall is a special time throughout the country as we shed the summer sun and embrace the shorter days. Of course, we can't forget that with the change in seasons, there is a change in how we prepare for the day. Multiple layers of outerwear make an appearance since we have no idea if it will be the kind of day that holds on to the heat of the previous months or the type of day that gives us a cold snap to preview the months to come. In any case, our wardrobe needs a refresher for the fall, and Vince has come out with their fall collection for the year. The Vince pre-spring collection looks to adopt the color palette of the national parks in one of the more beautiful states in the country, California.
Colors of California fall

When you think of the fall, you think of deep browns, vibrant oranges, and soft yellows. The kinds of colors that signal change and a rebirth only a few months away. This collection, however, channels more of the evergreen forests dotting the California landscape and the way it catches the snow and surrounds the blue waters of Big Bear. What you will find are garments in deep blues, browns, greens, and pops of white. They have also taken the concept of classics, the cable knit sweater, and added wavy twists. They have updated old-school garments with modern features and are calling the combination Future Heritage. Making these perfect for today and also not something that needs to be replaced often.
