Case in point? These bougie things with that same expensive vibe are actually cheap as hell. They look and feel so good, you'll actually want to show them off.

Paris is a city designed for strolling, with its grand boulevards, photogenic buildings, and hundreds of beautifully manicured parks. My biggest mistake on my first trip to Paris? I packed the wrong footwear. I visited in late May and brought an overstuffed suitcase of strappy sandals and heels. After a day of rain (leading to chafing and blisters), I popped into a few shops in the Marais and purchased comfortable sneakers and ankle boots that I wore on repeat for the rest of the trip.

Few things in my wardrobe get more use than house shoes. For the past few years, my one and only pair was the Crocs Mellow Recovery Slide, an ultra-cushy slip-on that dissipates aches and pains.

Their EVA material doesn't exactly scream "cozy," and they don't play well with thick socks.

Flip-flops and open-toe shoes might be comfy, but they're a terrible idea on a plane.

The intersection of craftsmanship and culture takes on a new meaning this season as Flower Mountain and Raised by Wolves come together for a striking Fall/Winter 2025 collaboration. Merging Japanese precision with Canadian grit, this partnership fuses outdoor functionality with elevated streetwear design, resulting in a collection that feels both refined and raw.

These have an almond toe. Those have a rounded toe. These have eight pairs of eyelets and a Vibram sole. Those have twelve pairs of eyelets and a leather sole. These are suède. Those are also suède, but the nap runs north-south rather than east-west. These are waterproof. Those are . . . also waterproof. No, wait, neither is waterproof. That other pair of black boots is the waterproof pair.

When it comes to New York City fashion, certain pieces are stitched into the cultural fabric - Timberland boots and TELFAR bags are two of them. Each represents a different era of NYC style: Timberland's rugged durability mirrors the city's grit, while TELFAR's signature Shopping Bag symbolizes accessibility, inclusivity, and contemporary cool. This Fall, the two powerhouses have joined forces to release a collaboration that perfectly captures the essence of modern New York - bold, functional, and unmistakably stylish.

The reintroduction of the STA SHARK brings that history full circle with a twist.

This integration marks a move that is both familiar and refreshing, underlining a distinct sense of brand heritage.
