Featuring a flexible knit upper made from eucalyptus tree fibre, which is billed as breathable for any extra-hot footwork — the sneaker style also boasts a bio-based skin overlaid over the upper for added support and a “more secure fit.”

Improved traction design makes these sneakers a perfect fit for slick streets, while additional design features of overlays boost protection and durability, according to the brand.

Coastal cowgirl

As the #coastalcowgirl trend continues to linger in our social-media feeds, we’re holding on to the idea of investing in a good pair of cowboy boots. These fiery red beauties from the brand Durango offer the perfect Western-meets-fashion crossover thanks to the bold red hue, full-grain leather with detail stitching and a cool, vintage-inspired pointed toe.

They’re the perfect boots to add a punch to a pair of jeans, a dress — and pretty much anything else you choose to pair them with.

Oh, and pack for next year’s Stampede of course.

Make a splash

Meet the summer footwear find that can take you from the poolside to the patio. From the Canadian brand Cougar, these punchy Pool Party slides are made from a moulded EVA material that makes them wonderfully waterproof, while also being lightweight and super-cushy on your feet.

Available in a rainbow of hues, this stacked-sole style is perhaps the most perfect in this soft purple shade.

Green machine

Searching for a sleek shoe that will walk you through late summer into fall? Look no further than The Done Up Daily Loafer from the Canadian brand Poppy Barley.

Crafted in Mexico from soft leather, the timeless loafer style earns extra points thanks to a gold chain detail.

Available in Size 5-12, the style is especially chic in this limited-edition Evergreen shade.
