Today I am again exploring the beauty of the Nine Streets. Filled with narrow streets and canals, this area of Amsterdam boasts a multitude of vintage shops, quaint art galleries and beautiful bars and restaurants. I am sporting my urban ECCO Exostrike sneakers for today’s adventures, which are ideal for city walking with their rugged rubber outsole – adding excellent grip when walking over Amsterdam’s slippery cobblestones.

I pick up a Soy Latte at Kaldi Caffe, a small, local café making some of the best hot beverage around. The smell of ground coffee beans wafts through the room and the passion is immediately apparent. The sleek wooden interior is in keeping with the coziness of the Nine Streets and the baristas are kind and knowledgeable. I take my drink to go, eager to continue exploring the neighbourhood.

Taking my cup between my hands, I walk across the bridges to explore the intricacies of the interlocking canals on the route. A group of tourists on a canal cruise pass by and I give them a wave, almost dropping my drink in the process. It sloshes against the beaker and spills slightly on my shoes. I am glad to have some ECCO Shoe Wipes in my bag and quickly clean it up before the stain sets. I double check the lid on my coffee and continue with my morning.
