Shoe The World Day

Shoe The World Day

·
Written by Aaron Macaraeg
Today is National Shoe the World Day, a day that shines a light on the importance of footwear. For many, shoes are a fun and fashionable accessory, a way to show off your personality and stay up to date with trends; for others, proper footwear is important to prevent injury, pain, and discomfort. But not everyone has access to proper footwear, and we’re doing our part to help fix that. Hansen’s is proudly committed to giving back to the community, and each year, we donate over $50,000 in shoes as part of that commitment. This year, we’re continuing our work with Soles4Souls and partnering with them to donate new and gently used shoes that would otherwise end up in landfills.

Arahi 7 Review

Arahi 7 Review

·
Written by Aaron Macaraeg

Looking for a new go-to sneaker? Hoka’s Arahi 7 just dropped, and it might be our new favorite shoe. These surprisingly-light stability sneakers aren’t like any others on the market. The biggest upgrade from the Arahi 6 is the new upper which we think not only looks better but also adds some great tech and comfort features. The lacing and zonally engineered, flat-knit upper allow your foot to stay down in the middle while having extra room in the toe box, creating a comfortable step. The lacing is also more adaptable with narrow feet, so they’re comfortable for all foot types. If you have a wider foot, we would suggest trying the Wide width since the upper can feel a bit more narrow, especially for longer distances.

How Do You Know Your UGGs Fit?

How Do You Know Your UGGs Fit?

Written by Aaron Macaraeg

 UGGs have been around for years, but thanks to social media and celebrity sightings, they’re currently taking the world by storm. Whether you’re new to the cozy footwear and loungewear or a longtime, loyal wearer, there might still be some things you don’t know about UGGs. 

If you’re looking to get your first pair, you might be worried about sizing. If you’re ordering them online, remember that Classic UGGs run a bit big – if you wear a half size, size down. If you wear a full size, stick with that – you can always try a smaller size if you need to. The Fashion styles and Rain boots are true to size so go with your regular size.

Whether you’re looking for everyday shoes or cozy slippers, UGG has been the go-to brand for trendy and timeless styles for over 50 years. After realizing life as an accountant was not fulfilling, UGG founder, Brian Smith, moved to California and decided to make sheepskin footwear and other apparel for surfers to wear after they finished surfing the waves. UGG helped to define the California lifestyle – their extreme comfort, soft interiors, and indoor/outdoor fluidity made them the perfect multifunctional shoe.
