Beauty in Motion.

We are totally in love with the LOWA Locarno Lo Ws, an extremely versatile shoe that will conquer anything from a day at the office to a brisk 2-mile walk and even a hike in the woods. It is light, sleek, breathable, waterproof, and feels oh-so-good on our feet. This shoe is handcrafted in Europe, designed especially for women, and comes in 5 gorgeous colors. Yes, please! Suggested retail: $195

Sunglasses with Style.

These lightweight, eco-friendly frames from Blue Planet Eyewear keep us feeling stylish even when we're sweating. Even better? They're made from 60-75% recycled and reprocessed content with natural bamboo temples. And for every pair sold, one pair of corrective glasses is donated to a person in need. Suggested retail: $60

A Stormy Weather Superstar.

We don't stop walking just because the skies are cloudy. Instead, we grab our United by Blue Albright Rain Shell that can handle all-day mists and sudden downpours. It comes in 3 flattering colors and fits true to size. And we love that for every product purchased, 1 pound of trash is removed from oceans and waterways! Suggested retail: $128

Sweat-Friendly Sunscreen.

We're suckers for products that protect both our skin and the environment, and that's just what we found with Love Sun Body, a 100% natural, safe, and green sunscreen option. All formulas are hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, and water and sweat-resistant up to 80 minutes. Suggested retail: $32

No-tie Laces.

Comfortable, stylish, and convenient, the no-tie lacing system from Xpand Laces has us excited to convert all of our family's shoes to slip-ons without a second thought. The only hard part? Choosing from the 40+ colors! Suggested retail: $9.95 each

A Hero for Hair.

The bright, sunny spring days are good for our soul (and soles!) but awful for our hair, and that's why we're excited about Hair Warrior. It works with your body heat during physical activity to smooth, protect, and condition your hair, preventing sun damage and strengthening each strand. Suggested retail: $29.95

Our Happy Feet.

What do we like about the Vertex No Show Tab Ultra-Light Cushion socks from Darn Tough Vermont? Everything! From the performance fit (no slipping in our shoes!) to the fast action wicking and the natural antimicrobial properties that repel odor, these socks are the real deal. And did we mention that they are guaranteed for life? Suggested retail: $17

Light the Way.

For early morning or late evening walks, we grab the lightweight HX5R Coast Flashlight. We're thrilled that it includes a USB port for a quick recharge, and at just 4" inches, it's small enough to clip in our pockets or on our hats for hands-free walking. Suggested retail: $40

A Trusty Thirst Quencher.

Hydration is key to a successful walk. Our mug of choice? The Stanley Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug. It fits perfectly in our hands or our cupholders and keeps our water cold for 12 hours (or 40, with ice!) Suggested retail: $25
