We’ve reviewed a few different brands of shoes now here at Unfinished Man; we’ve looked at barefoot running, and skate footwear, but we haven’t actually had the chance to check out some well designed kicks for walking and hiking. Kuru changed all of that for us by introducing us to their Insight model; touting themselves as the makers of “the world’s most anatomical active footwear” is no joke. These shoes have more support and fit your foot better than anything else you’ve ever worn. continue reading →
I think every guy went through a phase where he tried out a skate shoe thinking it would make him look like a bad-ass, regardless of whether or not he actually lived the lifestyle. With the I-don’t-give-a-shit 90s come and gone, the idea of the skate shoe (to me, anyways) evokes images of the clunky, grubby antiques of the sneaker world. The principles of comfort nestled in width, simplicity and cushy soles certainly appeal to me, but it was definitely with trepidation that I opened the box of my new Ipath Cats. After the plethora of neon, logo emblazoned offerings on the market, these shoes were a welcome, updated take on a simple retro look.

These were your forefathers’ noble steeds, with names like the Safari, County Squire and Colony Park. Manly, massive land yachts that gobbled up miles with gear and trailer in tow. You and your buddies would never be caught in something called “Caravan” or “Windstar”; imagine you’ve got yourself a 20 foot long wagon with a 7 liter V8, room for 7 of your friends and all their beer- a little less embarrassing, huh? If you still want an SUV or some over-compensating lifted truck: is it going to fit in your garage? Un-bloody-likely. The practicality of the station wagon is only a small part of its appeal, however. Take a look at some of the meanest, hottest, fastest classic and modern wagons that put today’s SUV and crossover utility vehicles to shame. continue reading →
