OnlineShoes.com is partnering with Patagonia Footwear again this season to help with Advocate Weeks. It’s an amazing program designed to raise awareness and funds for conservation and environmental organizations. Since May is National Bike Month, we all thought it would be the perfect time to lend our support (and hopefully yours) to the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy.

The Rails-to-Trails Conservancy is a non-profit organization whose mission it is to create a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and connecting corridors to build healthier places for healthier people.  Here’s a little history lesson. Read More

Way back in the 1960s, the founders of Vasque saw that hiking, climbing and backpacking were becoming wildly popular in Europe. They knew it was just a matter of time before America became seriously outdoorsy, so they got busy designing and creating the rugged boots people would soon need. Now, after almost 50 years of keeping their eyes firmly focused on the trail ahead, Vasque has legions of fans and a reputation for innovation.

If there’s one thing you learn from your first pair of SmartWool socks, it’s that everything you wear from then on should be made with Merino wool. Those of you who take that as an exaggeration have either never tried a pair, or never tried a pair—I’m sorry; I can’t think of a second reason. My first pair were men’s SmartWool hiking socks (which I still have, it’s only been four years). What can I say? Great outdoor socks make an impression. Read More

The TevaSphere is not a place, at least not in the tradition sense. It’s more of a catalyst, a piece of a puzzle, an enabler. Our friends at Teva have created TevaSphere technology to get you to the places that make you happy. Of course, in order to follow what makes you happy, you may first have to unfollow something else.

If you‘re anything like us, you love the feel of going barefoot when you’ve got a friendly surface to move on. There’s just something amazing about going shoeless on soft grass, cool sand or smooth stone. It gives you a simple, natural connection to your surroundings, and our friends at Merrell have figured out a way to give you a similar experience—even when the path ahead is a little more treacherous.

Carhartt Giveaway: Week Four

No matter what you do for a living, you probably rely on a fairly small set of tools to help you get the job done right every day. You may know how to use hundreds of other tools, have a ton of other gear socked away and are handy in a dozen other things, but these are the ones you use all day, every day. You know, the fundamentals. I can’t tell you what yours are, but I’m betting when you think of them, you’re thinking about what’s in your truck, not what’s in your laundry pile. Carhartt understands.
