Between this winter's fierce snowstorms and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many people are itching to get out of their homes. If you're among those who are ready to safely get out into the world again, you need to make sure you have the right shoes.

Luckily for you, HYTEST is releasing new members of its FootRests 2.0 family around March 8, just in time for the arrival of warmer weather. The CoreTemp Collection has four new styles that feature technologies to ensure breathability, support, slip resistance, and all-day stamina. The styles in the CoreTemp Collection are meant to provide dependability and safety to people who work in tough environments.

The four styles in the CoreTemp collection are the Charge 6” Hiker, the Charge 8” Hiker, the Zone Chelsea Boot, and the Crossover Wellington Boot. Not only do these styles help you walk safely, keeping all 33 bony vertebrae in your spinal column safe from slipping and tripping, but they all feature the new CoreTemp Temperature Control Lining Technology. This technology absorbs heat from your body and your surroundings. It then creates a cooling effect and can release the stored heat energy to warm you when you need it. This continuous cycle of heating and cooling manages your temperature to maintain comfort all day long.

The above Zone Chelsea and Crossover Wellington also feature full-grain waterproof leather, moisture-wicking mesh lining, an anti-fatigue footbed, and a rubber outsole. The Charge Hiker is made with a slip-resistant rubber outsole, a caged lacing system, and TecTuff abrasion-resistant waterproof leather material. All of these features give the shoes ultimate functionality as well as an athletic appeal that today's consumers love.

For those who are looking for a true athletic shoe, HYTEST is also releasing the Annex Metatarsal Guard Athletic Shoe (pictured above). This is a new athletic style for the brand that is a part of the Xergy Athletic franchise, which has helped bring key technologies to enhance worker productivity.

The Annex Athletic style features an athletic-inspired design with TecTuff abrasion-resistant material and leather, an oil and slip-resistant rubber outsole, a non-metallic nano safety toe, and Terrapin internal met-guard technology that is exclusive to HYTEST. This technology deflects energy away from your foot while the interior cushion layer absorbs shock.

Whether you're someone who exercises regularly or you're among the 28% of Americans who are physically inactive and you're looking to get your body moving, the Annex Athletic shoe could be right for you. It keeps your body safe and your energy up so that you can do the activities that keep you healthy.

Spring is in full swing, which means it’s time for men’s spring footwear to make an appearance. While we may still be in quarantine, many of us are starting to spend more time outside (taking all necessary precautions!) as the weather gets better and better.
Today, we’re going to get into two spring basics that every man (or woman) should have in their arsenal. One is casual, the other is geared toward exercise, and both make for perfect men’s spring footwear to go with any warm-weather outfit.


White Canvas Shoes

These shoes are one of the most versatile pairs you can pick up. Pairs such as these by Koio will match virtually any outfit you put together. No matter the color, just about anything goes with white.
If you’re concerned about buying shoes that tend to get dirty easily, simply invest in some basic materials for cleaning canvas shoes. You’ll be surprised by how many of them are already in your house. Though they may not last as long as the 50-year-old cabinets many of us have in our kitchens, properly cared for, a quality pair of white canvas sneakers will last you years.

Mesh Running Shoes

A good pair of running shoes makes all the difference when it comes to warm weather workouts. You may be someone who puts on their layers and goes running year-round, in which case you’ll have a whole array of running shoes for various conditions. But when it comes to spring running, matters are far more straightforward.

All you need to hit the streets, parks, or track on your runs this spring is a good pair of mesh running shoes. The mesh adds both breathability and flexibility, so your feet will stay cool and your stride will feel more natural. Mesh running shoes also tend to be lighter than their closed counterparts, as they use less material overall. This is great news if you’re trying to improve your mile time.

Going running (while following all of the CDC’s coronavirus guidelines) is more important than ever given how sedentary lockdown life has been. In order to get back in shape this summer, we should all be going for runs and doing other forms of cardio, as well as eating a healthy diet. If you’re looking for new health foods this summer, high-antioxidant fruits such as the maqui berry -- comparable in antioxidants to blueberries -- make for an excellent addition to smoothies and smoothie bowls.

The steel in steel-toed boots may be able to withstand extremely high temperatures, but that doesn’t mean we should be wearing them in warm weather. Put those winter boots away and bust out your men’s spring footwear for the perfect seasonal look. You can’t go wrong with the classics.

 Salvatore Ferragamo Tassel Loafer

A cool marriage of seasonal surfaces comes together in this sweet Spring/Summer loafer.  Salvatore Ferragamo's new Tassel Loafer is a handsome loafer that combines the crisp panache of linen with the buttery cool of calfskin.  The upper features an almost long-wing brogue style seaming where the tan linen vamp and quarter perfectly frames the chocolate brown tassel, toe-box and tongue.  This is a really great shoe that can work very nicely with a bevy of colors and neutrals in a man's Spring/Summer closet, dressed up or down.  Available now at SalvatoreFerragamo.com.

Armando Cabral Chet Derby

Dull derbies make a dull boy.  Armando Cabral seems to know this.  Why else would he make this wonderful Chet Derby?  Boasting a clean premium leather upper with a white and green gum-like sole, this menswear staple packs the right amounts of tradition and whimsy.  Available now at OdinNewYork.com.

 Adidas X Palace Pro Sneakers

Not all things need stretch, but some things just do better with it.  For Adidas' latest collaboration with the London-based Palace Skateboards, knit takes precedence for part of the pack while suede dominates the other.  Adidas rendered the black sneaker and white sneaker using their Primeknit technology while the grey was done up in pristine paper thin mesh suede.  The result is an amazingly lightweight pack that will be perfect for the summer weather and all-around cool & comfort.  Available now in all color ways at End Clothing.

ASICS Alpine Pack

One usually doesn't link summer and Alpine, but in the case of this new ASICS pack, its acceptable.  Their new Alpine Pack is a fresh walk in color and comfort for the season.  The comfortable midsoles and attractive color ways are combined with the patented comfort of ASICS meet with the tan/tan on the Gel Lyte V and the Gel Lyte III in grey/grey.  It's like cool ketchup and mustard and refreshing mint to get you through the season.  Both color ways are available now at Bows And Arrows Berkeley.

Today we are giving you a double dose of men's footwear with round two of must have shoes for the urban man. Although these DZR Shoe Strasse Cycling Shoes are a bike rider's dream, they're also amazing as an everyday sneaker. Boasting an upper that combines the distinctive, and classic herringbone fabric with full grain leather, the Strasse Cycling Shoes seamlessly adds a touch a of refined style to your downtown cool wardrobe.

Whether you're biking the city or just hanging out at the latest rooftop bar or local dive, these riding shoes won't disappoint in performance or style. The Strasse is truly innovative in its features. It is the first and only SPD Compatible Slip on, it boasts Variable Flex Shank Technology for a combination of power transfer while pedaling, and flexibility for walking, a highly visible 600 luminosity reflective badge sewn into the heel for rear visibility for nigh time rides, a natural gum rubber sole for optimum grip on a variety of surfaces including concrete, marble, wood floors (oh yeah, we tested them), and an elastic lace catch to keep laces away from your bike chain, subway grates, and your possible clumsy friends (who hasn't had a friend step on their laces before?). Whether you're a bike rider or not, the DZR Shoes Strasse are a must for urban commuting. Grab yourself a pair for $120.00 at www.dzrshoes.com.

Alexander McQueen Black Rib Cage Loafers

Beautifully drag a bit of Halloween into the holidays with your footwear.  These Alexander McQueen Black Rib Cage Loafers are a handsome walk through the bizarre and skilled hands of the camp at McQueen.  Made of pristine black leather, the vamp of the shoes have the embossed pattern of a rib cage.  It's a cool effect that still keeps the shoe adhering to the cool and startling standards of McQueen.  Available now at Ssense.com.

ETQ Amsterdam SSENSE Exclusive Black Croc-Embossed Leather Sneakers

How about a bit of the exclusive for the season?  ETQ Amsterdam has collaborated with SSENSE on this new Black Croc-Embossed Leather Sneaker.  With a full croc-embossed leather upper and white rubber sole in a classic leather trainer silhouette, these sneakers are good dress up, dress down shoes to stay "styling' on 'em" this season.  Pair this with cool cropped trousers or tailored joggers.  Available now in limited quantities at Ssense.com.

Maison Martin Margiela Black & Cloud Blue Embossed Replica Sneakers

The Replica repeats for Fall.  However, this time, the camp at Margiela has taken this now new classic in menswear and gave it an artistic bump.  The Black & Cloud Blue Embossed upper is an iridescent leather than has been stamped with a subtle floral motif.  Still anchored on that ever-attractive gum sole bottom, these are a nice plausible contrast to the linear movements of the plaids and checks of the season and a good way to add more cool texture to the alpacas, tweeds and flannels of the season.  Available now at Ssense.com.
