Apr 22nd, 2013 at 8:00AM: Over the past couple of years there has been a movement in the outdoor community towards lightweight, minimalist footwear. Much of the movement stems from the book "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall, which kicked off the barefoot running craze and created a whole new section in the shoe department of your favorite sporting goods store.

Gadling Gear Review: Luna Sandals Mono And Venado
Apr 22nd, 2013 at 8:00AM: Over the past couple of years there has been a movement in the outdoor community towards lightweight, minimalist footwear. Much of the movement stems from the book "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall, which kicked off the barefoot running craze and created a whole new section in the shoe department of your favorite sporting goods store.

Sep 28th, 2012 at 9:00AM: A long stint in central Europe (and residency in the crunchier regions of the Pacific Northwest) means that I don't look twice at someone in big wooly socks and a pair of battered "Birks." But I do not suggest them as a travel shoe; it's a bit too much like recommending a pair of bedroom slippers. (Sorry, Birkenstock.)
There's a spinoff line from the old standard – Birki's – that ...Gadling Gear Review: Keen Emerald City Sandals For Summer
Jun 8th, 2012 at 10:00AM: I like my sport sandals a lot. I've tried a few different brands – Chaco, Keen, Ahnu – and truthfully, they're all great for what they do. I've yet to develop a brand preference. But when you pair them with something dressier for those beach side cocktail hours, they still look like sport sandals.
Keen makes a whole line of sport sandals. I'm a fan of their footwear; it's ...Gadling Gear Review: Keen Turia Sandals
Apr 30th, 2012 at 8:00AM: Shoe manufacturer Keen is well known for making comfortable and sturdy footwear for travelers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Their catalog includes shoes for hiking, trail running and even cycling, all of which manage to remain both durable and stylish at the same time. Perhaps their most iconic offering is their line of sandals which continues to evolve and improve while retaining the core ...Great Shoes for Hot Weather Destinations
Oct 4th, 2011 at 10:00AM: There is no getting that pair of socks clean from the red dust, they are dyed a tie-dyed rust color from the dry campground. My feet needed a good soaking, too -- a walk on the beach in the surf took care of that. Sure, my feet were filthy, almost to an embarrassing degree. But they were happy, not too hot, free from blisters and fatigue. I attribute this to picking the right shoes for that ...Gear suggestions for holiday weekend trips outdoors
Jun 27th, 2011 at 11:30AM: Summer is in full-swing and with the Independence Day weekend right around the corner, people are planningfor trips to the great outdoors. From hiking to camping, getting into nature is a great way to enjoy the holiday and unplug from your everyday life. However, if you're going to do it right, you need to have the proper gear. Last year, we set you up with the ultimate camping gear guide. All of ...Socks with sandals? Blame the Romans
Aug 30th, 2010 at 11:00AM: Last month we reported on a survey of the worst fashion violations men commit while on vacation. Speedos, of course, came in first, and while the banana hammock is certainly the worst of all fashion sins, wearing socks with sandals got high marks too.
Now it turns out we may owe this particular form of geekiness to one of the greatest of all ancient civilizations--the Romans. According to a new ...Travel gear: How to pack a pair of shoes without a plastic bag
Jul 28th, 2010 at 1:30PM: I'm a germaphobe who cringes at the idea of packing my shoes anywhere near my clothes. But travel requires you to get a little dirty, so I tell myself that a plastic bag has to be enough to keep the germs from contaminating the rest of my stuff.
But a funny thing happened while I was packing for a recent trip to Houston: I actually ran out of plastic bags. (Guess my effort to be green and use ...Best shoes for summer travel
Jun 28th, 2010 at 10:00AM: Traveling in the warmer months of the year can present unique apparel challenges. When preparing for a trip to the lower latitudes or destinations where water will be a major factor, certain considerations should be made. One important decision is the choice of footwear. There are few shoes that can do it all, but some can accommodate a variety of warm-weather activities.
The beach trip - One ...Teva introduces flip flops with lights - and you can win a pair!
Mar 25th, 2010 at 9:00AM: With Spring hitting the Northeast early, we're thrilled to be able to start thinking about trips to the beach, hikes in the woods and some new camping adventures. And warm weather means throwing those Winter boots aside in favor of flip flops. Our feet haven't seen the light of day in months and it's time to let those dogs breathe. With that in mind, we were psyched (and a tad amused) to see that ...Sunny discounts on Caribbean travel
Mar 13th, 2009 at 1:30PM: How's this for perfect timing? It's a great time of year to go to the Caribbean (mild weather and no hurricanes). And travel discounts there are popping up left and right--from vacation packages to cruises. If you're interested in a Sandals Resort vacation, you have a few ways to save.
