When it comes to chunky and oversized boots, there’s one common problem that affects most wearers – the laces. In many cases, these boots are used for exploring the trails or urban centers, regardless, having your laces come undone at any moment is a tedious challenge. These boots are also made to be larger than your typical Chelsea boots, which you can slip on. In Kizik’s latest drop, the brand looks to alleviate these problems with hands-free hiking boots. Easy to access, these boots are meant to be simple, allowing you to focus on anything but your shoelaces. There are plenty of bonuses with this hiking boot, besides its hassle-free promise.

Introducing the Sierra Boulder Boot

On its exterior, the Sierra Boulder boot appears like a rugged and street-style focused hiking boot that you can easily use to transition to your day-to-day activities. Whether on the trails or streets, the boot design is simple enough to easily fit in with anything in your wardrobe. However, on the inside, the boot is equipped with Kizik’s External Flex Arch which allows the boot to compress far enough to slide your foot in and spring up once settled. The midsole and insoles are equipped with a cushioned padding that acts as a spring to give the wearer comfort and support. Available in white pepper and black, the easiness of the boot allows users to feel safe and protected in their shoes without worrying about how they’ll get out of their footwear. These boots are available for $169 via Kizik’s website.

Don’t sacrifice style with winter boots: The key to functional fashion this season
Stay stylish even in mens winter dress boots

The weather is beginning to make your trip to the office or the grocery store much more precarious. The snow is falling, and the roads are getting wet and slippery. That is when it becomes imperative that you get the right garments and shoes to protect yourself against the elements. The only problem? They are rarely as stylish as the rest of your wardrobe. Winter boots specifically have a hard time retaining the style of other seasons, and men's winter dress boots are the closest you will get to style while staying elevated. That is why you need to find the perfect outfit to stay warm and dry while not sacrificing your style. How do you do that? By mastering functional fashion. Here is the way to nail this look.
Why winter boots feel less stylish

Really, what this comes down to is the argument of function over fashion. When you have something that looks great, it is often constructed without focusing on making your life easier. When you have something made for a specific purpose, you often sacrifice the look of the boot because it is meant to keep your feet warm, dry, or both. Keeping your style elevated during the winter months will come down to finding a pair of boots that find the balance between the two. Functional fashion is the hallmark of a great winter boot look.
