Whether outdoors or in the city. What is the best "outdoor sneaker" to choose?

Recently, outdoor sneakers have become more common in the city. In the past, they were seen as shoes for serious activities such as hiking and camping, but now "outdoor" is a lifestyle. A pair of shoes that combines design that can be worn in the city and functionality that can be relied on in nature has become a must-have for adults.

In this article, we will be sharing with men in their 30s and 40s the appeal of outdoor sneakers, how to choose them, and how to incorporate them into your fashion from the perspective of a YUEN administrator.

What is different about outdoor sneakers?

Outdoor sneakers are sneakers that combine the technology of mountain climbing and trekking shoes with a design that is suitable for wearing around town. Their biggest features are the following three points.

• Grip: The non-slip sole allows you to walk safely on uneven surfaces and wet streets in the city.
• Durability and water repellency: They are often made of tough materials such as nylon and Cordura, so you can walk through small puddles and muddy roads without worrying. Of course, models that are water repellent can also handle sudden rain.
• Comfort: Designed for long walks, these shoes are highly cushioned and less tiring to wear. They are also perfect for active adults on weekend walks or trips.

What are the popular styles of outdoor sneakers for men?

In recent years, the number of stylish models designed for town use has been increasing. The following three types are particularly popular.

• Low-tech x voluminous sole: A type with a simple upper and a sole that makes a statement. It is trendy and goes well with both slacks and wide pants. It is becoming a staple of adult casual wear.
• High-tech x sporty: Equipped with Gore-Tex, waterproof and breathable... simply highly functional. The design is attractive because it looks great even when walking around town after the gym or outdoor activities. It is a pair of shoes that will stand out in a sports mix style.
• Retro x Outdoor Mix: A retro design based on traditional trekking shoes. Goes great with 90s streetwear and vintage mix outfits. The more you wear them, the more they develop their own character.

How to choose the right outdoor sneakers

• Add something extra to your everyday outfit . First, start by incorporating a pair of outdoor sneakers into your everyday outfit. For example, even a simple outfit of a white T-shirt and black pants can look much more modern if you add a pair of voluminous outdoor sneakers to your feet.
• Functionality with a casual feel <br> Whether it's a rainy day outfit or a quick walk in the park, "functionality-oriented" footwear that suits the occasion leaves a good impression. It's especially popular among the father generation who are raising children.
• Colors that are easy to use are "basic + alpha" <br> In addition to basic colors such as black, gray, and beige, we also recommend choosing navy or khaki as accent colors. The trick to creating a mature look is to not be too assertive.

  You won't get tired even if you walk for a long time. Perfect for days when you will be walking a lot, such as sightseeing or shopping.
• Parks and playing outside with kids:
  They are non-slip and don't mind getting dirty. Their functionality really shines in active situations.
• Festival Camp:
  The outsole is stable even on rough roads. Outdoor sneakers are unique in that they provide peace of mind even in the rain.

Tips for incorporating it into your outfit

Because outdoor sneakers are highly functional, they can sometimes stand out too much. That's why it's important to find a balance.

• First, add a simple outfit like a white T-shirt and black pants.
• We recommend calm tones such as black, gray, and beige.
• The subtle logo and matte texture make it perfect for everyday use.
