Whether it’s a down day as you wait for the sun to break through or a night crawling between pubs, the Harris from Ahnu offers a touch of sophisticated style ready to serve as your go-to option for days off the mountain trail.
On Performance and Design…
Your run kicks might be comfortable, but that doesn’t mean they should serve as your go-to option for casual Fridays or more socially inclined nights around the town. Inspired by the vintage chukka boot, the Ahnu Harris for men offers a sense of classic style; a shoe choice based on something enduring rather than a fleeting fashion trend.
The Harris is casual enough to keep you from looking like the guy who has worn three piece suit to the pub, but they’re also smart enough to stop you from looking like the guy who has worn shorts to the boardroom. Featuring full-grain waterproof leather and suede vamp that looks like canvas, but has the enduring qualities of leather, these easily carry you seamlessly from booze-soaked floors to Sunday service.
For the purist out there, rest easy knowing that the Harris abides by the traditional Chukka rule of three eyelets. This not only pays homage to the traditional chukka style, but allows for a snug fit around the ankle that, unlike regular boots, don’t disrupt your pants’ shape.
And because you’ll find yourself wearing these day in and day out, Ahnu added in moisture-wicking mesh and supple pigskin leather linings for all-day comfort. Underfoot, the Harris is outfitted with a Vibram Morflex rubber outsole for dependable traction that won’t scuff up your mother-in-law’s kitchen floors.
Notes from the Road…
There are some who may quibble with the lack of a firm arch which leaves the Harris feeling slightly flat underfoot. However, from our perspective the brand’s Numentum technology coupled with memory foam in the forefront offer a ride that is equal to the aesthetic stylings of the shoe.
Bottom Line…
Classic looks with modern comfort for everyday wear.
