Technical trainers have been enjoying their moment in the sun recently, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. Hoka has been one of the brands at the forefront, and it's easy to see why—their Clifton sneakers are designed to take on trails, but they're cool enough for everyday. This casual take features a suede upper with a 3M reflective stripe, lightweight no-sew SpeedFrame construction and an EVA footbed, intended for all-day wear. Throw these on with an oatmeal-toned sweatsuit or your regular beat-up denim.

Knickerbocker has teamed up with century-old Italian boot maker, Fracap, to produce this hiking shoe for the winter season. Yes, they're rugged, but they're also handsome and comfortable thanks to the chunky Vibram sole. The insole and lining are made from Italian calf leather for breathability and the Goodyear welt construction ensures a sturdy and durable shoe that can survive inclement weather. Let these be your daily drivers—take them to your next skiing trip over the holidays or just down to your local bookshop—either way, your feet will stay dry and stylish.

An elevated unbranded sneaker looks great with anything from dark denim and chinos to a wool-flannel suit. Sneakers with a suit is not just for breezy summer weddings—a sharp suede pair like these from Sunspel will turn those naysayers into believers. Made in Portugal from a rich moss green suede, the brand has updated the tennis shoe for better comfort. Finished with a lightweight sole, cushioned insole and extra padding around the upper, it makes for a versatile shoe that's great for boardroom meetings or traveling.
