Today is National Shoe the World Day, a day that shines a light on the importance of footwear. For many, shoes are a fun and fashionable accessory, a way to show off your personality and stay up to date with trends; for others, proper footwear is important to prevent injury, pain, and discomfort. But not everyone has access to proper footwear, and we’re doing our part to help fix that. Hansen’s is proudly committed to giving back to the community, and each year, we donate over $50,000 in shoes as part of that commitment. This year, we’re continuing our work with Soles4Souls and partnering with them to donate new and gently used shoes that would otherwise end up in landfills. 

Spring has sprung (almost), and that means it’s time for a new pair of shoes. Hoka has you covered with their brand new Hoka Mach 6. These are their lightest, most responsive Mach to date. The streamlined collar foam reduces bulk and cuts weight, making them perfect for jogging and racing. Fine-tuned for extra energy return and with speed-focused design details throughout, they deliver the comfort and performance you need to walk, run, hop, and skip into the next part of the year. 

 

Finding a shoe that combines what’s in style with what’s comfortable can feel impossible sometimes, so Birkenstocks’ continued presence at the forefront of fashion has been a blessing. These classic shoes have made a name for themselves thanks to the comfort provided by their meticulously-designed insoles – a testament to thoughtful design. 

Looking for a new go-to sneaker? Hoka’s Arahi 7 just dropped, and it might be our new favorite shoe. These surprisingly-light stability sneakers aren’t like any others on the market. The biggest upgrade from the Arahi 6 is the new upper which we think not only looks better but also adds some great tech and comfort features. The lacing and zonally engineered, flat-knit upper allow your foot to stay down in the middle while having extra room in the toe box, creating a comfortable step. The lacing is also more adaptable with narrow feet, so they’re comfortable for all foot types. If you have a wider foot, we would suggest trying the Wide width since the upper can feel a bit more narrow, especially for longer distances.

The UGG Tasman are all the rage right now, and most of us are willing to do whatever we can to get our hands on them. Unfortunately, there are people out there who know that too, and they’ll take advantage of your enthusiasm. With plenty of fakes out there, we put together a list to help you spot a pair of fakes before you get saddled with them.

In honor of Small Business Saturday, we want to give thanks to all our wonderful customers who made the decision to shop small. When you buy a pair of shoes at Hansen’s, you're a person with a name not just another number and data point at the big box stores. Shopping small businesses helps provide jobs, support the local economy, and give back to your community. As a family-owned business that’s been around for over forty years, we want to share our story!

If you’re looking for a great pair of shoes to add to your collection, we might be able to help. You've probably seen the iconic ON Cloud 5 out and about.

 UGGs have been around for years, but thanks to social media and celebrity sightings, they’re currently taking the world by storm. Whether you’re new to the cozy footwear and loungewear or a longtime, loyal wearer, there might still be some things you don’t know about UGGs. 

If you’re looking to get your first pair, you might be worried about sizing. If you’re ordering them online, remember that Classic UGGs run a bit big – if you wear a half size, size down. If you wear a full size, stick with that – you can always try a smaller size if you need to. The Fashion styles and Rain boots are true to size so go with your regular size.

Whether you’re looking for everyday shoes or cozy slippers, UGG has been the go-to brand for trendy and timeless styles for over 50 years. After realizing life as an accountant was not fulfilling, UGG founder, Brian Smith, moved to California and decided to make sheepskin footwear and other apparel for surfers to wear after they finished surfing the waves. UGG helped to define the California lifestyle – their extreme comfort, soft interiors, and indoor/outdoor fluidity made them the perfect multifunctional shoe. 

Meet the Hoka Gaviota 5, the latest addition to the acclaimed Gaviota series, designed to offer runners unmatched stability and support. With its J-Frame™ technology, this shoe provides dynamic support to prevent overpronation and ensure a smooth stride. Despite its maximalist cushioning, the Gaviota 5 remains lightweight, thanks to the CMEVA midsole that offers excellent shock absorption and energy return.

High heels have been a fashion staple for decades and they're here to stay. However, it's important to keep in mind that wearing high heels can have a negative impact on foot health and comfort.
