As winter nears its end (it’s getting close to ending, right?), it may be time to do some maintenance or upgrade those work shoes or boots of yours after a harsh six months of hard work in the extreme elements. Luckily for you, Red Wing Heritage released a new foam leather cleaner and four new styles of Postman Oxford just in time for the spring season.

The newly vamped models — numbered 311731183119 and 3120 — come freshly updated with an Atlas Lite Tred outsole that provides a slimmer, sturdy, and stunning silhouette for a work boot. The Postman line was originally established in 1954 to deliver comfortability and durability to U.S. Postmen across the country.

Over 50 years later and the oxfords are still popular among working men who demand a comfortable shoe for those long days on their feet. Better yet, the boots are now offered in some of the best leathers Red Wing Heritage and partner S.B. Foot Tanning Company have to offer: Oxblood Mesa, Copper Rough & Tough, Charcoal Rough & Tough, and Hawthorne Muleskinner.

Enough talk, let’s take a peek at these beauts:

Red Wing Heritage also released a brand new Foam Leather Cleaner if your boots still have some life left in them, but need a little TLC. Cleaning your winter boots in the spring means you won’t have to scramble to polish and wax them when that first surprise snow hits. The revamped Red Wing cleaner uses foam to lift ground-in dirt and stains from the leather exterior in order to leave the ideal leather finish–supple and shiny. The cleaner is best suited for Red Wing Heritage leathers, but it’s not limited to them by any means (but spot test before applying anyway).

The new Postman Oxford styles ($259.99) and Foam Leather Cleaner ($13.99) are available for purchase at Redwingheritage.com.

Recovery is central to being an athlete. During that time, muscles rest and rejuvenate, growing stronger before the next workout. Time off also provides a nice mental break for renewed focus the next time out.

Active recovery takes that further by introducing light movements post-workout, increasing blood flow, and speeding up rejuvenation. Low-intensity activities like walking, swimming, or shooting hoops gently guide muscles back into action. They’re also a fun departure from intense runs or HIIT classes.

Fossil alternative to NORQAIN Wild One Skeleton watch just $207 for Cyber Monday
Fossil's Bronson Automatic Stainless Steel collection includes a smoke, black, and gold coloration.

Cyber Monday is a great time to be BOLD. And I'm going to make some bold assumptions as I present this Cyber Monday watch deal to you. The first assumption is you're kind of in love with these gorgeous new NORQAIN Wild One Skeleton watches. The second assumption is that you're not ready to pay $5,000+ for one. And the third, and final, assumption is that you'll find this trio of Fossil Bronson Automatic Stainless Steel watches (now priced $207 from $295 for Cyber Monday) a suitable enough alternative, or at least one that's attractive enough at this price to go ahead and pick up. Or, I could be completely wrong, but you still like this Cyber Monday deal on an affordable watch, anyhow. It's anybody's game really. In either case, tap the button below to check out the Fossil Bronson Automatic Stainless Steel watch collection while the watches are still $88 off or keep reading to see our take.

Why you should buy a watch from the Fossil Bronson Automatic Stainless Steel watch collection
These 48mm watches feature gorgeous metal casings of stainless steel. The inner workings, much like the NORQAIN I compare them to, have an incomplete black dial with cutouts tucked between lines and circles, which reveal the inner workings of the watch. It's a stunning view. Of course, Fossil gives its own unmistakable touch to the format, with a bold 2, 4, 8, 10 numeration, thick hands, "FOSSIL" bolded painted at 3 o'clock, and both "30" and "60" chiseled into the casing.

Mephisto is back with the ultimate luxury chunky sneaker
Mephisto, Fursac release new shoe

While the options for a chunky sneaker are plenty, the newest addition from Mephisto and Fursac will make it easier to pick. Along with the French clothing brand, Mephisto has upgraded its Dribbler shoe to deliver the ultimate sleek chunky sneaker. Available in two colorways, the new Dribbler sneaker is all about bringing trendy touches to a lowkey shoe. While its name might be mistaken for a basketball shoe, the Dribber is known as a full-on skate shoe, making its upgrade even more eye-catching. Using retro details, the new Dribbler sneaker fits perfectly with the current wave of vintage-style shoe trends taking over the industry. Ideal for those looking for a balance between style and versatility, the Dribbler is an example of how subtle footwear can still be exciting. While the ‘Dribbler’ is often considered a dated Mephisto design, this collaboration proves the design can still shine. 
Mephisto x Fursac ‘Dribbler’ sneaker

Available in a white monochrome color or navy and black combination, this understated design merges everything you love from a skate shoe with the practicality of an everyday sneaker. Made with leather uppers and a thick rubber outsole containing a “window” on the heel, the outside features surely deliver the style of the shoe. The shoe is equipped with Mephisto’s “Shock Absorber” and “Soft Air” technology systems. “Shock Absorber” adds cushion and bounce support while ‘Soft Air” ensures the perfect fit inside. Retailing for 400 euros, these two new designs are available at Fursac’s flagship store and the brand’s web store. With a welcome mix of street style and versatility, the Dribbler sneaker is the ultimate way to add variety to your daily shoe rotation.
