On Your Feet: Moccasin inspired sneakers from Clearweather

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?

Looking for a summer time shoe that’s a little different? Clearweather has you covered with a number of footwear options that are classically inspired, with a modern perspective and materials.

Though they’re sneakers at heart, the One-O-Ones have a distinct, moccasin inspiration. The most standout evidence of this is the heel, which is wrapped all the way around in strips of leather or suede, depending on the color. These stripes have a dynamic look that shifts and changes as you move around. There’s even an adjustable slider at the back to adjust the fit of the ankle cuff.

The One-O-Ones are available in a series of natural colors, and are constructed from a variety of high quality materials. Whether it’s full-grain leather in black or white, nappy pig skin suede, or dark stone nubuck, all of the color options have their own appeal.

Of course, they’re still sneakers, so the One-O-Ones are fitted with a rubber vulcanized outsole. This comfortable and timeless element of casual footwear technology has been a staple of sneakers for years, and has recently found its way back into the mainstream. Most of the color options feature the classic white outsole, but the grey pair take on a matching grey sole, while another pair is available in all black with matching sole.

Clearweather is the result of the labor of two brothers, Josh and Brandon Brubaker. Their vintage inspired silhouettes are remarkably forward-facing, and the One-O-One is proof of that goal. They also strive to keep their prices low, which is another high point of the One-O-Ones, which come in at just $100 for most of the colorways. The newer two colorways, the all black and the all white tumbled leather versions, are considered premium, but at only $10 more, it’s worth it if you want the solid colors.

You can shop the whole selection of Clearweather shoes on their website.

Why you should swap hiking boots for trail runners on your next adventure
Say goodbye to your hiking boots. Here's a better option
Man running on a trail with mountains in the background

For decades, hiking boots have been the go-to shoe for every kind of trail, but modern hikers are beginning to change that. If you've ever worn heavy leather hiking boots on a trip before, you're probably familiar with the blisters, sweaty feet, and sore legs that often come with the journey. While getting out in nature was always the best part of my week, I swapped my heavy hiking boots for some lightweight trail runners last year, and it was the best decision I ever made. Here's why.
Why you should ditch your hiking boots for trail runners

Trail running shoes are a middle ground between sneakers and hiking boots. They're sturdy, but still lightweight enough to reduce strain on your legs as you hike. Most hiking boots have stiff soles, but trail runners will allow you to navigate uneven terrain easily due to the flexible soles. These are great for long-distance hikes, especially where speed and efficiency matter. I also love the fact that trail runners have quick-drying and water-resistant mesh, which allows sweat to evaporate easily for a more comfortable journey (and less stinky shoes!)

How Adidas’ iconic Samba sneakers became the hottest sneakers around
The history of the Adidas samba

While the footwear industry continues to indulge in retro designs, one brand tends to stand out against the rest. For many seasons, Adidas has become the standard for reviving archival designs and redistributing them to a new generation. One of the first designs that began this concept was the Adidas Samba. After years as one of the hottest sneakers to own, the Samba sneaker continues to deliver exciting updates and collaboration. At the beginning of its resurgence, the Samba sneaker was the must-have shoe for almost every user. While the Samba wave continues to rise, there’s no denying that the Samba sneaker has a rich history that precedes its current explosion. Although the modern version of the sneaker is vastly different than its original design, there’s no doubt that the Samba sneaker continues to be one of the most highly sought-after sneakers in the footwear world. 
Sporty beginnings

The history of the Samba sneaker traces back to 1950 when Adidas founder Adi Dassler designed and created the shoe to be worn by a German team for a soccer match on a slick, icy field. Unlike the sleek modern design, the original version was a much bulkier boot-like silhouette with an arched sole, a rubber-capped toe, and metal eyelet grommets. The Samba shoe, created to have maximum traction for the players, became a staple for soccer players playing on snowy and slippery fields. As the Samba shoe saw success, Adidas quickly worked to refine the shoe over the years.
