It's a crazy time in the world of sneakers. These days, getting a hold of the coolest new set of kicks proves to be nearly impossible with most pairs selling out almost immediately upon release.

Whether you're the outdoorsy type or not, these hiking boot inspired sneakers are super cool (if you ask us). This trend is all about the details from shearling lining to hardware on the lacing and would be the perfect addition to your winter wardrobe.
