If You're Into Sneakers And Love Amazing Food Chuck Hughes Knows What You Need

If you think that owning one of Montreal's top restaurants, having several cooking shows and being an Iron Chef winner takes up all of Chuck Hughes' time, think again. This busy chef has also made time for fashion.

Hughes teamed up with Vans and independent clothing store Off the Hook to introduce the the "Black Crab" pack -- the first-ever kitchen-ready lifestyle shoes. But don't worry -- these shoes weren't created exclusively for chefs. The attractive all-black design, waterproof exterior and slip-proof soles are equally ideal for everyday wear (they're even perfect for trudging through snow and ice!)

Check out our exclusive interview with Hughes as he weighs in on how this partnership came to be, how to take these shoes from work to play and what to look for to spot a quality shoe.
