Shoes to help you kick off the new year in style
Some may say you have too many boots, sneakers and derbys. But not us. We get it ... sometimes you just have to hit that refresh button. With so many great shoes dropping these days, we thought we’d pull a few of our current favorites to showcase. These are the kicks our team can’t stop talking about. From well-made boots to easy sneakers, you’ll be certain to kick off 2022 in style.
I've been eyeing these for a while, and once they went on sale they immediately went straight to my cart for purchase. The square moc toe with the side eyelets and crepe sole is the ultimate shoe trifecta, if you ask me. I've also been wearing a lot of colors in the taupe family lately, and these look great with some cargos, especially cinched at the ankle.

Kleman makes some of the best utilitarian shoes on the market and these Chelsea boots are no different. The rich burgundy color is perfect for winter, but subtle enough to wear with pretty much anything. And the heavy-duty rubber outsole means they'll take you through the worst of winter and the wettest of spring weather.

A 100% handmade walking sneaker is rare to find these days, but here's one. A chunky outsole made from natural hevea latex with a classic tread pattern provides all-day comfort and stability for your feet. The raw unlined edges showcase the simplistic natural materials as well. These shoes are so comfortable they can be worn to run errands or out on a nice date night.

Boots that wear like sneakers can always be a stretch but Yuketen founder, Yuki Matsuda, took two decades worth of research to figure out how to do it. These boots are made from the label's signature “flesh-out” leather and are set on top of a thick Vibram sole for maximum support. Pair this tobacco colorway with some green fatigues and a nice denim overshirt to give you the classic Americana vibe.
