Vibram FiveFingers
Imagine footwear that can actually help make the foot healthier, that can strengthen muscles in the feetand lower legs, improve range of motion and increase sensory reception important to balance and agility. Imagine footwear that might just make running safer and healthier, by encouraging a forefoot strike and a more natural running form that creates less impact on the knees, hips and lower back. That is what Vibram FiveFingers can offer.
The North Face
The North Face brand was established in 1966 in San Francisco, when Douglas Tompkins and Kenneth “Hap” Klopp created an equipment retail store that eventually acquired the name The North Face. This name was chosen because the north face of a mountain in the northern hemisphere is generally the most difficult face to climb. The North Face offers an excellent product mix that combines functionality and fashion for all seasons and excursions anywhere on the planet.
Patagonia
Patagonia grew out of a small company that made tools for climbers. Alpinism remains at the heart of a worldwide business that still makes clothes for climbing – as well as for skiing, snowboarding, surfing, fishing, paddling and trail running. In each sport, reward comes in the form of hard-won grace and moments of connection between us and nature.
OluKai
Behind OluKai’s premium leathers and rugged synthetics is quality manufacturing. They build all our footwear
on true-to-fit lasts so they’ll conform to your feet right out of the box. The anatomical footbed is the heart of every pair. With its biomechanically correct shape, it supports and positions your entire foot naturally, allowing you to move through your stride comfortably and correctly.
Vasque
Fit is about comfort, but the fit of the shoe can also enhance your performance. Vasque takes this notion to an art form. Fit is taken very seriously at Vasque. By going to great lengths to understand foot anatomy and function, Vasque shoes designs offer multiple fit options to better address a wider range of foot shapes.
Bogs

All their boots are 100% waterproof and warm down to sub-zero temperatures. Each have non-slip soles for dependable traction, and all of the shoes are built with breathability in mind.

Chaco
Chaco is dedicated to being a pure connection to a lifetime of adventure. We live in a world that makes faddish, non-recyclable and non-repairable products. In short, we make garbage. Since 1989, Chaco products have been pioneering durability and simplicity. Chaco creates a product that can be repaired rather than pitched into a landfill. Check out the sandals and shoes made by Chaco.
Superfeet
Many cushioned insoles are made with gel or soft foam alone. They may seem comfortable at first, but without a firm stabilizer cap, they fail to adequately support your feet. Non-supportive and gel-based insoles do not effectively align the body, and can increase fatigue and foot pain. Firm support under the foot helps improve the way your shoes fit your feet. Superfeet properly support and align your body, creating less stress on the muscles.
Sole
The benefits of Sole insoles are personalized for your unique foot. The arch height adjusts to your required level, but does not flatten out. The forefoot takes the shape of the balls of your feet and toes, and the aligning heel cup supports your unique heel shape. This creates a continuous contact point across the soles of your feet, leaving no area unsupported.
Salomon
Salomon provides a full array of footwear. Pack and Paddle carries everything fro the full-grain Discovery GTX hiker, to their low-profile trail -running shoes like the XR Crossmax and the XA Pro 3D.
