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.

Why you should be wearing the biggest underwear brand you’ve never heard of
Pair of Thieves is the third biggest underwear brand and they think your balls will love their fabric
Person, Body Part, Finger

I talk a lot about the importance of style. Fit, function, and fashion come together to make your personal appearance a reflection of who you are and who you intend to be. The value of quality over brand names. The importance of good tailoring over fast fashion. Wearing a suit the right way. The best shoes for your look. The way you can send a message without ever opening your mouth. But you know what I don't ever talk about? Skivvies. That's right, I don't talk about underwear. You know why? Because it is something that I (and I reckon you too) just don't think about. But, in ten minutes with David Ehrenberg, CEO of Pair of Thieves, that all changed. I started thinking about underwear. And he convinced me to try his brand, because he was certain that my balls would love it. He was right. But what is it about Pair of Thieves, and underwear in general, that made them skyrocket to the top of an industry most men don't think about?

Our goal isn't to make underwear some aspirational luxury item– it's to make it the best part of getting dressed. That's reflected in our fabric, our fit, and how closely we listen to real customer feedback. We see underwear as part of personal care, and upgrading it should feel easy, accessible, and genuinely worth it. - David Ehrenberg CEO Pair of Thieves

Peserico drops spring and summer looks in their backyard during Fashion Week
Italian staple makes news at Milan Fashion Week with their SS27 collection
Sewing, Body Part, Finger

Milan Fashion Week showed out as usual, with designers from around the world coming together to showcase what they have in store for us purveyors of menswear. Of course, the usual suspects were in attendance with the ability to continue legacies and further movements. The big ones are the ones I have been reporting here for a while now. Browns and more browns seem to remain the industry's call. Canali took it further with a spice theme, which doubled down on the color theme while deepening it. Prada took the simplistic classic aesthetics we've been seeing to what I assume is their logical conclusion. "Doing more with nothing." Continuing a theme we saw at Pitti Uomo last week, Brioni focused on the ideas of personalization and customization, bringing out the personality of your looks. And finally, Dinhill wrote a love letter to the blue blazer, calling into focus their love for the English gentleman. Out of all these campaigns, one that stood out to me was the SS27 launch from Peserico. An Italian classic with decades of quality showing off in its own backyard.

A timeless aesthetic
