]]>Here are some tips for having a great experience exercising and hiking this Winter season:
Tip #1: Get proper footwear! It starts here right at your feet. Without proper footwear we can't guarantee you'll be safe from slips and falls now that ice and snow have descended on our great country. A pair of Merrell Arctic grip shoes would make sure your feet stay on the ground and your bum stays off of it!
Tip #2: Stay hydrated! Don't forget your water! Just because you're not hot and sweaty doesn't mean you'll stay hydrated without drinking lots of water! Bring a reusable bottle in your bag or jacket and take periodic sips from it.
Tip #3: Dress Warm! You may be working up a sweat. But you’ll still need equipment to protect you from the ice, snow and cold. So break out the balaclava when necessary. Dress in layers and wear longer socks or tight workout pants that will keep the wind away from your ankles.
Tip #4: Don't go out at night! Consider the risk of slipping or falling. You may have the best footwear we offer but maybe your friend or family member that's out exploring with you doesn't. Don't take the risk of going out at night and stick to daylight hours so you can more easily watch for ice. Always carry your smartphone. This way, you can call for help if you ever need it.
Now go out there and explore your favorite parks with a pair of revolutionary "ArcticGrip" shoes!

The Blundstone 163 & 164 Men's and Women's steel toe work boots offer protection from impact, penetration, electrical shock, chemical damage and water allowing you to focus on the job for a higher margin of safety. Pull-on, kick-off comfort and durable, too!
Full grain leather, A steel toe cap and Kevlar foot bed makes the Blundstone extra safe and warm. The Full grain leather molds to your foot quickly while the steel toe cap protects your toes. The Kevlar foot bed is better than steel plating because it is warm and flexible but will still protect your foot from nails.

OLANG went a different route to ensure winter safety. Their Alaska Outsole allows the metal spikes to be flipped over in slippery conditions but switched back during walks on hardwood floors.
With a similar design as OLANG, NEXX keeps you safe using retractable metal cleats. These cleats dig into the ice and provide stability and can be stowed away when not in use. They are easy to deploy and require no special tools. They are also made of rust-resistant stainless steel.
Romika also has a sole that sticks to slippery surfaces, it is advanced, ice-gripping technology that is used to create unmatched traction on wet ice so that you are safe this Winter. ROMI GRIP is Romika's own ice gripping technology that is featured on the Ventura Line of boots. Shop Ventura

]]>Rieker Tex and Remonte Tex are found in a wide selection of Fall and Winter boots produced by Rieker and Remonte. Many people ask if they need to care for their boot in a special way if it has RemonteTex or RiekerTex.
The truth is that there is LESS maintenance rather than more when it comes to Rieker/Remonte Tex. All that needs to be done to care for the boot is washing it with a warm, damp cloth. The water repellent membrane (a layer found between both the inner and outer material) keeps your feet dry while taking moisture out. Rieker and Remonte Tex can be found in both leather and vegan friendly shoes.

NOTE: The materials are water resistant to zipper height. Water may still penetrate the zipper, and/or buckles on all Rieker and Remonte products.
IMPORTANT: Do not spray any Rieker or Remonte boot or the leather will be damaged! It's already waterproof so just use a damp cloth.
Vegan Friendly*
With these products we are reducing the amount of animal based products used in the construction of our footwear, and the major components are Vegan. However, it cannot be stated as Vegan rather Vegan-friendly; as it may have small amounts of materials that cannot be verified as 100% animal-free.
]]>The European system (EU) for determining foot size is great because it is for both sexes and for adults and children alike therefore being one of the most straightforward ways to measure your feet. It has it's problems though because throughout European countries different methods for measurin and manufacting shoes takes place. So a French 37 and a German 37 will not be the same.
In Australia and New Zealand, the UK system is followed for men and children's footwear. Women's footwear follows the US sizings. So that's confusing!
US sizing is different depending on if you are a man or a woman, a youth or an adult and if the shoe is athletic or not.
UK shoes are similar to a US men where it is 1 unit lower. It's all confusing stuff so it's best to try on the pair and use your shoe size as a helpful pointer in the right direction.
Who knows, maybe the Europeans are onto something. Hopefully we get an international version sometime soon and we won't have to bother with all of these charts but, for now, here it is;
