When one thinks about hiking boots, a pair that they'd look forward to incorporating into everyday wear doesn't usually pop into their minds, however with these New Balance boots, they might consider doing just that.
With a suede upper that complemented by synthetic accents, the New Balance boots, which are dubbed 'Niobium,' have a sleek look that makes them seamlessly fit into just about any ensemble.
This is further enhanced by the silhouette, with the suede material carrying seamlessly across the upper to form a shape that's not often seen on traditional hiking boots. In addition, consumers have the choice of picking up the New Balance boots in either gray or black, both of which are finished off with a clean white sole.
