When it comes to chunky and oversized boots, there’s one common problem that affects most wearers – the laces. In many cases, these boots are used for exploring the trails or urban centers, regardless, having your laces come undone at any moment is a tedious challenge. These boots are also made to be larger than your typical Chelsea boots, which you can slip on. In Kizik’s latest drop, the brand looks to alleviate these problems with hands-free hiking boots. Easy to access, these boots are meant to be simple, allowing you to focus on anything but your shoelaces. There are plenty of bonuses with this hiking boot, besides its hassle-free promise.

Introducing the Sierra Boulder Boot

On its exterior, the Sierra Boulder boot appears like a rugged and street-style focused hiking boot that you can easily use to transition to your day-to-day activities. Whether on the trails or streets, the boot design is simple enough to easily fit in with anything in your wardrobe. However, on the inside, the boot is equipped with Kizik’s External Flex Arch which allows the boot to compress far enough to slide your foot in and spring up once settled. The midsole and insoles are equipped with a cushioned padding that acts as a spring to give the wearer comfort and support. Available in white pepper and black, the easiness of the boot allows users to feel safe and protected in their shoes without worrying about how they’ll get out of their footwear. These boots are available for $169 via Kizik’s website.

In an industry that sees plenty of collaborations and limited-edition capsules, it’s not uncommon to see footwear brands partner up with stars from various sectors, especially artists. Because visual art is similar to that of designing footwear, it’s not uncommon to see these worlds merge for a special collection. Such is the case with Timberland’s latest collaboration, which sees the iconic boot brand joining forces once again with the Lagos-born, London-based artist SOLDIER for a new iteration of their iconic 6-Inch Zipper Boot. Keeping with the boot’s famed silhouette and details, the collaborative design infuses an interesting pattern that uses bold stripes to pay homage to street style and the military aesthetic.
