What We’re Wearing
On the Trail
Hiking sneakers have gone from a niche category in footwear to a bonafide favorite among menswear types. Sure, they look ruggedly cool and are insanely comfortable no matter where you're walking. But why not put them to the test? Grab your significant other or get a group of buddies together and plan a weekend hike or trail run.
There's a reason why this off-road running has become something of a trend. Because it's a great way to disconnect, let your mind wander and get in a good workout. Not to mention a healthy dose of Vitamin D. All you really need is some wide, open space and a sturdy pair of sneakers, but a few more essentials will definitely come in handy. Herewith our current checklist.
