The latest fitness news and tech

Tapping into the growing appetite for urbanites seeking to explore their surrounding habitat — concrete jungle or otherwise — Columbia Sportswear’s recently launched SH/ FT collection combines on- trend aesthetics with up- todate, all- season technical features. Along with two more serious boot styles, the range is completed by a sleek mid- top design, in five different colours from retro colour- block purple and teal to more muted and natural shades. Despite their appearance, the knitted, sock- like upper is constructed with waterproof OutDry technology, while the chunky sole ensures all- terrain traction so you can go from tarmac to trail with ease.
