When exploring the outdoors, there’s no doubt that North Face has a lengthy history and experience. Known for its excellent selection of outdoor items that provide warmth, support, and protection, it seems natural that the brand also knows how to create quality footwear. While North Face’s Offtrail hiking collection isn’t as vast as other brands, it’s full of great choices that can easily withstand all your hiking adventures. In their recent release, North Face expanded their hiking collection with two distinct designs made for hikers. Besides North Face’s expected brand quality, these new releases have many styles and modern features that can easily compete with your favorite current brands. With these additions, North Face adds techy features that bring a classic rugged design into the modern era.

Designed as a chunky sneaker, the Offtrail Hike GORE-TEX shoes are made for any hiker. Available in three colorways, this techy sneaker is the perfect way to add robust footwear technology into your closet with sleek and stylish hues. Retailing for $185, this classic hiking sneaker option is a timeless silhouette that can easily take you from the trails to the city.

North Face’s second release is a similar design but in a hiking boot. Available in the same three colorways, the Offtrail Hike LT Mid GORE-TEX Boots are a lightweight hiking boot option with ample ankle protection. Perfect for more rugged terrain and extreme weather conditions, the LT Mid GORE-TEX boot also includes a waterproof membrane that allows users to feel comfortable and sturdy in their footwear. Despite the added material around the ankle, the boot remains a lightweight and flexible option that can easily help you maneuver any trail. While the LT Mid boot is slightly more difficult to style in everyday situations, it’s certainly a shoe made for trendy hikers. Retailing for $200, the LT Mid GORE-TEX boot is available via North Face’s web store, with its sneaker counterpart.

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?
Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist.

The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
