Re-released in 2019, the Movida Calcio design is a classic of the Diemme lineup. While the silhouette remains an iconic Diemme staple, the brand has once again joined forces with Hiking Patrol to bring the sneaker to the next level. With different materials and a monochromatic look, the Movida Calcio has become the ultimate sleek sneaker. While its chunkier structure might give the illusion of a hiking sneaker, this new collaborative design is meant to act as your go-to shoe for your everyday errands. Created with practicality in mind, this sneaker is your all-around sleek sneaker with the versatility to go with almost any outfit. Inspired by urban streets and soccer cleats, the new sneaker is far from your basic casual sneaker.

Elevate your errands with the Movida Calcio 2.0

The Movida Clacio 2.0 is made of black patent leather, tonal stitching, and a leather lining. Its all-black colorway makes it ultra-sleek. Inspired by classic soccer cleats, this sneaker also has a fold-over tongue for a small statement touch. In addition to the rubber-reinforced toe caps, the sneaker has Vibram N-Oil compound outsoles for added durability and traction. For $420, this sneaker is available on Hiking Patrol and Diemme’s websites as well as select third-party retailers. While not your average casual sneaker, the comfort and practicality included in the technical features of the sneaker allow for this design to become a new go-to favorite. Suited for those who seek a sleeker yet statement errand shoe, the Movida Calcio is again making waves in the footwear world.

In honor of the 60th anniversary of the Birkenstock Zurich model, the brand has joined forces with Los Angeles-based menswear store Union for a unique collaborative shoe. Instead of simply remixing the Zurich shoe with new details and features, the two brands have combined it with another iconic Birkenstock design. Mixed with the Birkenstock Boston clog model, this new release combines the best of two of the brand’s most recognizable designs. Under the new name Bimshire, this hybrid shoe is the perfect footwear for Birkenstock lovers and non-fans.
Birkenstock x Union Birmshire Clog

The Birmshire clog, inspired by the Boston clog, has the emblematic round-toe suede finish. The Zurich design features luxury canvas overlays with leather straps. This new design will be available in three colorways: pink, taupe, and gray. Another fun addition is found on the footbed, which is painted in Union’s iconic orange hue. Along the edges, the clog is trimmed with “French piping.” Using the best materials for this updated clog, this shoe is bound to be your new favorite casual footwear option. By utilizing different materials in each section of the clog, Union and Birkenstock have also found a way to make two classic designs into a contemporary shoe.

Get the right hiking boot fit for long days on the trail
A well fitted pair of hiking boots lets you enjoy your day on the trail and not focus on sore feet

If you're only going to go overboard on one piece of hiking gear, it really has to be your hiking boots. Get these right, and you will barely notice that you're wearing anything on your feet. But get them wrong, and you're in for a world of discomfort, blisters, sore points, and a long day of complaining. Sure, you can go out and buy the best pair of hiking boots on the market and spend hundreds of dollars, but unless they're properly fitted then you'll hurl them into the back of a cupboard and swear off hiking forever.

I can't tell you how many people I have guided and met on the hill who have had their day ruined by poorly fitted boots. If you're serious about hitting the trails this spring, then you need a pair of boots that fits your feet perfectly and for that. But how should hiking boots fit? Your best bet for a perfect hiking boot fit is still to hit the store and try them out. Wherever you buy your hiking boots from, test them at home around the house for a few days before heading outside in them to make sure you've got the right pair before it's too late. Here's how to test your boots.
Try your hiking boots as you would use them
You’ll want to test your hiking boots at the end of the day when your feet will be the most swollen from walking and standing all day. Your feet will get swollen when you’re hiking, so this is very important. Wear them exactly as you’ll be wearing them out on the trail. Wear the socks you’ll be using, and don’t forget sock liners if you wear them. If you have special orthotics or other insoles, try them with the boots, too. All of these factors will affect the fit.
