New Balance is famously known for its running shoes, but deep in its archives are some real rough gems. For this fall, the American brand has teamed up with J.Crew to revive the classic Rainer Hiking boot. The rugged Mount Everest-approved footwear comes in a light tan or trail brown colorway and can take you where running shoes will have a hard time functioning. The best part about this shoe is that it’s lightweight and works on either flat or rocky surfaces.  

For a shoe that has the feel of a sneaker, but the toughness of a boot, visit the J.Crew website and purchase for $110.
