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 3117, 3118, 3119 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).

New Balance’s controversial loafer is getting a dapper new look
New Balance releases new loafer
brown new balance loafer

While there’s still debate about whether New Balance’s loafer design is stylish, the brand is pulling out all the stops with the shoe. Although the New Balance 1906 loafer has already been released in silver and black, the athletic brand wants to expand on the design with a new material that gives it a dressier upgrade. For those not yet convinced about the loafer sneaker silhouette, the newest release is a much more similar design that you are accustomed to seeing. Just as with the previous loafer releases, interested fans should act quickly, as there’s no doubt these releases will sell out quickly as well. 
New Balance 1906L in Suede

Unlike the previous New Balance 1906L, which came in a mesh and synthetic leather upper, the new duo comes in a luxurious textured suede material. Excluding the TPU heel stabilizer, the new loafer shoe comes covered in a suede fabric that instantly upgrades the look and feel of the design. Made available in black or brown suede, these new loafers come equipped with all of the footwear technology included in previous releases. Both colors include a black sole, for a sleek yet sturdy look. While New Balance has yet to release an official release date on their suede duo, the retail price will be set at $160. Considering the brand recently released a new colorway for the loafer in the typical mesh and synthetic upper, there’s no doubt the suede loafer will be released soon. While the design remains controversial to some, New Balance’s attempt to create out-of-the-box footwear is a welcome sign for the future.

How to tie a half-Windsor knot: The sleek and easy alternative to the Windsor
Master the half Windsor knot for a polished and professional look.

Tying a tie is practically a rite of passage. For many guys, it's a skill linked to a specific memory or milestone — that first awkward attempt at prom, the nervous fumbling before a big job interview, or maybe even the bittersweet task of dressing for a loved one's funeral. Whatever the occasion, there's no denying that the necktie and the knot that holds it together carry a certain weight.

The classic Windsor, or "double" Windsor, is one of the most recognizable tie knots, known for its symmetrical, triangular shape and ability to create a bold, wide dimple. But when you need something narrow and sleek, the Half-Windsor, also known as the "single" Windsor, is the way to go.
