Keep your feet warm and dry: A guide to men’s winter shoes

Snow boots vs. winter shoes

Are you as sick of winter as I am? Well, buckle up because winter isn't sick of us yet and is sticking around. As I walked to the corner bodega this morning, the snow was falling, and it was sticking. It is doing its best to make our lives more inconvenient by the day, and to keep my car parked permanently in the same place for fear of black ice. It isn't all bad, the best part of the winter is you get to break out your favorite sweaters and the best coats for a few months. You get a break from the sweltering heat of the summer.

The worst part? The snow piles up, and everything becomes more cumbersome. Driving is harder. Walking to the office is more precarious. Even going to get the mail is a pain in the neck, literally, if you fall on the ice. But if you have the proper footwear, that isn't an issue. I learned a hard lesson long ago: The wrong shoes can be the difference between an uneventful trip to the office and a broken tailbone. Men's winter shoes are a must-have for your closet, and they will help you navigate the months until you need to trade them in for the waterproof needs of the April showers.

With any hiking footwear, it’s vital to have a balance between style and practicality. Unlike everyday casual sneakers, this footwear should withstand harsh elements and rugged terrain. Thankfully, brands like Albino & Preto have plenty of experience in this area and continue to expand their lavish and quality footwear. Along with Padmore & Barnes, the brands have taken across the Atlantic for the inspiration of their latest collaborative boot. While inspired by the trails, the boot isn’t just for handling intense hikes. With a classic lace-up boot style, the new design can easily trek urban streets for a more rugged casual look.

Shoes in the washing machine? Here’s how to wash shoes safely and quickly

A guide on how to wash shoes

Keeping your shoes in top shape is more than just for a clean appearance. Having washed and neat footwear helps them last longer and avoid foot problems. From odor to blisters, many issues can arise with unkempt shoes. With bacteria that can stick to your footwear and travel throughout your home, keeping your shoes clean from the inside and out can help lower the chance of catching a series of ailments.

Although cleaning your shoes by hand is the most common and popular option, it’s not always the most time-effective. Between hand washing your footwear one by one and letting them air dry, you could be out of your favorite shoes for some time. Besides the loss of time, hand-washing only ensures your shoes are as clean as the work you put into them. This could mean missing a few parts inside or outside and still being left with stains and marks. With the following steps and care, you can learn how to wash shoes in your washing machine for a pristine look in one wash cycle.
