3 Shoes for Outdoor Adventures this Spring
From trail running supershoes to comfortable hiking sandles, these are our picks for outdoors footwear this spring.
Norda 005
The 005 is the new release from young Canadian brand Norda. Dubbed as a supershoe (although without a plate), the 005 is the brand's lightest, fastest and most stable shoe yet, making it a top choice for many trail runners on race day.
Featuring supercritical foam for a bouncy, yet responsive ride and Vibram Megagrip Elite outsole, this shoe is nippy and capable of various terrain. Open mesh and recycled upper is strong, yet super light protecting your feet from the elements. Uniquely, the 005 comes with two insoles, one ready for your training miles and one specifically for race day when you want to reduce the weight even further.
We’re fans of the Norda’s minimalistic style and think we will see them worn by serious trail athletes in races this year.
Keen UNEEK Women's Sandals
Known for its outdoor and lifestyle footwear, KEEN have been making excellent hiking shoes and sandals for a while.
Our pick today is their UNEEK womens sandals in black with upper made from recycled plastic bungee cord, which allows for ultimate ventilation while keeping your foot well supported. The sole has a contoured fit for comfort and the anti odour properties help you stay fresh during longer hikes.
To help with traction, especially in the wet, the outsole has razor-siped channels to keep water away.
A very unique looking sandal perfect for summer hiking, camping and other outdoor activities.
Salomon ACS + OG
This could be our pick for the most versatile shoe of 2025.
Inspired by mid 2000s design, the Salomon ACS + OG from the new Moon capsule colourway collection is designed for both cool city strolling and hitting the trails.
With a Contragrip outsole and shock absorbent EVA midsole, this shoe can handle various terrain. The new Agile Chassis System™ helps stabilise your stride and feel more confident off road. Salomon’s Quick lace system with the velcro flap (for conveniently hiding the toggle) makes tying and adjusting the fit an absolute dream.
