The New Shoes on Our Radar
The summer heat is hitting hard. Your only relief might be in the cool satisfaction of unboxing a new pair of shoes. This hasn't been scientifically proven, but we're fairly confident it will work. Maybe this list will help. There are so many great styles dropping these days, we thought we would pull a few of our current favorites to showcase. From upgraded classic loafers and luxurious yet affordable sandals to a cool pair of vintage-looking sneakers, these are the shoes our team can't stop talking about.
Our Picks |
U.S.-Made 990v6 Sneaker
There's a lot to like about this sneaker. The designers of the first 990 were originally tasked with creating the single best running shoe on the market. The MADE in USA 990v6 embraces this original mandate, with a series of performance-inspired updates, crafted by hand here in the States in a tonal olive colorway.
$219.99 by New Balance
Medusa Sandal
Ghiaia has been showing their laidback luxury clothing with leather fisherman sandals for a while, but for summer, they've just introduced a highly affordable and waterproof version. Imported from France, the Medusa sandal is a modern update on an iconic summer shoe. Made from 100% plastic and hemp, they come in four different colors, but sizes are going quickly, so move fast or you'll have to wait until next summer.

Woven Weejun
Looking for a classic silhouette with just a hint of extra style? These Weejuns take the iconic look of the signature G.H.Bass loafer and add a woven toe box and vamp for a relaxed, yet refined look. They pair easily with shorts and chinos, along with your washed jeans and work-ready trousers.
$185 by G.H.Bass
