Six essential travel toiletries for fresh-faced jet setting

By Robert Leedham

We’ve all suffered that last-minute scramble at the airport. Sure, you packed your passport, power adaptors and a hefty wad of foreign currency just waiting to be spent on overpriced cocktails, but what about your travel toiletries? Worse still, you have might have been one of those unfortunate souls who has made it all the way up to airport security only to realise your suitcase is stuffed full of creams, gels and fragrances that breach the all-important 100ml limit that's still in effect. If you’re reading this right now, we’re going to assume you’ve been smart enough to prep in advance for your holidays with a suite of travel-size grooming essentials. Because Lord knows that mid-sized Boots on the way to the departure gate won’t do much to help your cause.

Thankfully for both the impeccably organised and those who’ve previously tried to stuff their entire bathroom cabinet into a tiny see-through plastic bag, plenty of major grooming brands will happily cater to your holiday needs. From sun creams and body washes to moisturisers and toothpaste , we’ve found the tiny versions of our bathroom favourites. The best part of incorporating these into your carry-on? Because these products are smaller than their usual form, you can use your travels to try out something new and bougie. Because hey, you deserve to look your best in those poolside photos.

1. A classy sunscreen

Malin + Goetz SPF30

Cult Beauty

Nivea Sun Protect & Moisture To Go SPF30

Aesop Protective Lip Balm SPF30

Look, if you plan on spending a week soaking up the sun’s rays then you don’t need us to tell you the benefits of investing in a decent SPF. Not least because sunscreen is the one thing that’ll separate the colour of your tan from Liverpool FC red to Greek godly bronze. While you can trust in the ever-reliable properties of Nivea’s Sun Protect & Moisture To Go , we’d recommend something a little more luxe for those prepping for their beach-lounging in advance. Malin + Goetz’s SPF30 cream will protect skin while avoiding the typical pitfalls of blocked pores and an unseemly greasy residue. Pair it with Aesop’s Protective Lip Balm to truly do your body a kindness.

2. A versatile moisturiser

Kiehl's Facial Fuel Energising Moisture Treatment For Men

Kiehl's

The Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors + HA

Lookfantastic

Malin + Goetz Face Essentials Duo

A good moisturiser is the foundation of any man’s grooming arsenal, but there’s a decent chance you might not want to take the truly luxe stuff with you in your wash bag . Thankfully, Kiehl’s Facial Fuel is an old reliable for many a GQ staffer with its vitamin and caffeine enriched formula that’s suitable for all skin types thanks to its non-oily properties. Given the sheer hype behind The Ordinary’s wares in the past year or so – blame TikTok's skincare influencers for that one – we’re delighted to see its own Natural Moisturising Factors is available in 30ml form for an absolute steal. And if you’re in need of a moisturiser and cleanser combo? Malin + Goetz’s Face Essentials Duo kit has your back (or indeed face).

3. A revitalising body wash

Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash

Cowshed Travel Set

Aesop Geranium Leaf Hydrating Body Treatment

Look, no one loves to hoard hotel-quality toiletries as much as us, but sometimes you simply want to take your at-home shower routine on holiday with you. Worse still, you might have unwittingly booked into a place that’ll only serve you body wash out of a giant pump. Fear not dear reader, the Cowshed’s Travel Set comes with the shower gel, shampoo and conditioner (as well as a delightful body lotion) to see you through such dark days. For those who want to spread their wings beyond a toiletry kit, we’d recommend both a Kiehl’s Face Wash and Aesop Geranium Leaf Hydrating Body Treatment as foundational tools in your morning battle against jetlag.

4. A one-stop shaving kit

Gilette Travel Set

Acqua di Parma Barbiere Essential Shaving Kit

Harry's Travel Bundle Shave Set

While it’s eminently possible to stow away your beard trimmer or electric shaver in your toiletry bag, nothing really beats the feeling of a baby-smooth holiday shave. For exactly that fresh-faced vibe, you can’t really say fairer than Gilette’s Travel Set , which comes with a razor and shaving gel, as well as a toothbrush, toothpaste and a few other essentials. If your travels call for something a little more refined, then Acqua di Parma’s Essential Shaving Kit will happily step up to the plate, while Harry’s Travel Bundle Shave Set serves up an accomplished middle-ground between the two.

5. A fresh fragrance

Tom Ford Private Blend Oud Wood Eau de Parfum Atomiser

Le Labo Santal 33 Eau de Parfum

Jo Malone London Poppy and Barley cologne

It’s worth taking the chance to reinvent your signature scent when jet setting off somewhere sunnier, or at the very least you should use your getaway as a means to expand the horizons of your eau de parfum repertoire. Tom Ford’s Private Blend is a prime example of such a decadent opportunity with its woody oud blend proving a perfectly sensual companion for after-hours stumbling around cobbled streets and dimly lit bars. For a similarly masculine fragrance that’ll see you through the morning after, Le Labo’s Santal 33 is a fresh and stimulating delight with notes of cardamom, iris and violet. As for Jo Malone London’s Poppy and Barley cologne ? It’s been elegantly crafted so that you can take a taste of Blighty with you as you explore warmer climes.

6. A comprehensive travel mini kit

Aesop Departure Kit

Molton Brown The Daring Adventurer Mini Travel Bag

Molton Brown

Malin + Goetz Best Sellers Travel Kit

Let’s face it, holiday prep can be stressful enough without you having to itemise the contents of your travel toiletry bag. That’s why several of the most-lauded men’s grooming brands have done the decent thing and shrunk their finest wares into one devilishly handsome package. Our pick of the bunch? Aesop’s Departure Kit , which is absolutely stuffed full of its best-loved products including the Blue Chamomile Facial Hydrating masque, Immediate Moisture Facial Hydrosol, mouthwash and toothpaste. For those who intend to spend more time in the bathtub than under a parasol, Molton Brown’s The Daring Adventurer Mini Travel Bag really is an essential purchase. As for a greatest hits skincare collection? The Malin + Goetz Best Sellers Travel Kit does exactly what it says on the tin.

The best travel-sized beauty products for your next getaway

Keep skin, hair and body happy all holiday with these travel-sized toiletries.

If your holiday plans involve a flight, travel-sized products also help you to streamline your beauty kit to the point it will fit in your carry-on case, with no last-minute throwing away of your favourite skincare before boarding (no judgement; even GH's beauty team has been there!).

Most airlines will only allow you a small quantity of liquids, creams, gels, pastes and aerosols for your flight, so it's important to be savvy when selecting your cabin bag beauty buys. Makeup in solid and powder forms are usually fine, though sun care, fragrance, cosmetics, and travel-sized toiletries must all be under 100ml each, ready to be moved into a transparent and resealable 20cm x 20cm bag before boarding. Some airport security also consider lipsticks, balms and mascaras to be liquids, so it's always best to check your airport’s specific policy before packing.

From camping to cruises, a pick-and-mix of beauty products in suitcase-friendly sizes can see you through trips of any length and distance. Meet the travel-sized beauty bits we'll have ready for action...

Spritz into dry hair, tousle with your fingers, and enjoy some added movement and body. And, with its bright, floral scent (created by perfumer Lyn Harris, no less) your hair will also smell amazing.

Farmacy Beauty Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm

Our skin goes through a lot when we're on holiday or in sunnier climates: perspiration, combined with plenty of SPF, means our skin needs to be properly cleansed at the end of each day. Farmacy's cleansing balm is one of the most hardworking we've found; it dissolves every scrap of grime and still manages to leave the skin feeling comfortable and non-stripped. Even the most cleansing balm adverse on our beauty desk have fallen hard for this.

JVN Complete Air Dry Cream Travel

Hair stylist Jonathan Van Ness' line, JVN, is big on results. The famous Air Dry Cream now comes in a mini, and is excellent for nurturing holiday hair (think UV damage, salt water, chlorine). With moringa seed oil and chia extracts, the formula is so nourishing and excellent at creating some laissez-faire polish without any real effort.

BYOMA Hydrating Starter Kit

Packed full of ceramides and fatty acids, this hydrating trio from Byoma is your skin barrier's new best friend. Start with the jelly cleanser to get rid grime, follow with the intensely nourishing serum and lock it all in with the cooling gel cream. GH Beauty Team approved.

Curél Deep Moisture Spray Mini

This clever spray is one that all the family can get behind. The kind-to-skin formula hydrates dry skin, soothes prickly heat and can even refresh tired makeup at the end of the day. Our beauty writer keeps hers in the fridge for a spritz that's extra cooling in the warmer months.

Tatcha Dewy Cleanse + Hydrate Duo

For skin that feels tight and fussy, Tatcha's Dewy range is just the ticket. There's so much to love about the Rice Wash Cleanser: it's beautifully creamy and hydrating, yet somehow effectively rids dirt. As for the moisturiser, it's one that has the GH team has awarded as one of their favourite of the year. It leaves dull, tired skin looking firm and bouncy with a real, visible glow.

Cowshed Travel Collection Set

The 15 Best Travel Boots For Men: Hiking, Winter, Europe, and More

For adventurous travelers, finding the best travel boots for the journey is a complicated and tedious, yet worthwhile task.  A good pair of boots can be as comfy as your favorite flip flops while keeping your feet feeling good and protected on everything from long treks through South America to adventurous motorbike rides through Southeast Asia .  Fortunately, few for you, I’ve already gone through this struggle and have put together a list of the best boot options for travelers.

Keep in mind that there is no perfect boot for everyone. Not only is every pair of feet different, but the tastes of every individual differ just as much, ranging from the desire for comfy, cushy, and supported, to Spartan and minimalist.  Don’t worry, this list has a boot option for every type of traveler to deliver footwear that feels good, performs well, and even looks good too.

Read on to discover the best travel boots for every type of traveler.

WHY YOU NEED A PAIR OF TRAVEL BOOTS…OR DO YOU?

When most people gear up for the outdoors, they immediately think “boots” for protecting their feet and improving traction.  But do you need a pair of boots over your trainers?

Ask yourself these two questions to decide:

1. How much durability do you need?

2. How much traction do you need?

Beyond durability and traction, a good pair of running or walking shoes can provide all of the benefits that a pair of boots can – waterproofing, weatherproofing, ankle support, etc.

Durability is the deciding factor in whether or not you should get travel-ready hiking boots over athletic shoes.

In a good pair of hiking boots, the uppers will either be leather or durable synthetic material.  The soles should be durable rubber designed to balance traction in dry and wet conditions with long term durability.  Ultimately, the rocks, branches, and scrapes that happen on the trail will break down the uppers of running shoes, and the soft, comfy soles of running shoes will wear away.  Where I would expect a year or 2 tops from running shoes used for hard hiking, my Merrel Moabs lasted for four years before I upgraded (even though they didn’t wear out) and my Lowa Renegade Pros have lasted three years and still have lots of miles in them.

If comfort is a primary concern over durability, and your hikes are limited to a day or two, athletic shoes may be a better option.

The softer, suppler materials in athletic shoes have a downside of durability but an upside of short break-in time and plenty of comfort.  If most of your outdoor adventures are limited to a day or two, not multi-day treks, then durability is as high of a concern as you’ll only be a day away from civilization to replace your shoes.  Additionally, if you don’t mind replacing your hiking shoes every year, athletic shoes are a solid option for hiking.  Stacked with the zero break-in time, compared to boots, and the fact that comfort is a primary concern in athletic shoe design, for the comfort concerned crowd (that isn’t wandering in the backcountry), athletic shoes work.

The Bottom Line on Travel Boots vs. Athletic Shoes

If durability is your main concern, get a good pair of boots.  If you plan to hike multi-day treks, get a good pair of boots.  If you plan to hike in wet weather or on rocky, jagged terrain, get boots.

If comfort is your main concern and you don’t mind replacing your hiking shoes at least once per year, your regular travel shoes or athletic shoes will do just fine.

But…if you’re traveling around the world for 6+ months and going to a few different continents, I highly recommend investing in a solid pair of travel-ready boots.

Next question…what should you look for in a good pair of travel boots?

TRAVEL READY BOOTS VS. NORMAL HIKING BOOTS: WHAT’S DIFFERENT AND WHAT YOU NEED?

I have hiking boots (that I love) and I have separate boots that are perfect for travel and take me around the world.

Whereas my hiking boots are durable and provide extra protection on rocky terrain and in crappy weather, my travel boots offer the same benefits – with the addition of packing up easily (so I can still travel with only a carryon sized backpack ) and looking good enough that I can wear them in the city without looking too out of place.

Ultimately, a good pair of travel boots are hiking boots that pack down smaller than normal boots and look good enough to wear off the trail.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A GOOD PAIR OF TRAVEL BOOTS

A good pair of travel boots will have different requirements for different people but should have the following to some degree.  Use each of the criteria below to screen out boots until you find what is right for you.

DURABILITY: DURABLE UPPERS AND COMFORTABLE SOLES READY FOR MILES OF WALKING

When assessing durability, check out for durable soles as well as durable uppers.

Durable soles should not only stand up to walking on miles of trail and street while still being comfortable enough to be a “go-to” shoe while traveling.

Durable uppers , such as leather, Cordura nylon, or canvas, should stand up to years of use as well as the abrasion that can come on trails brushing against branches and crawling on rocks

Durable stitching, welt, and construction ensure that the durable materials (soles and uppers) hold together over time and ensure you can use get the most out of the full life of your boot

Tip: Bring a couple of bottles of Krazy glue plus a needle and high tensile nylon thread , and you’ll be able to repair most shoe issues on the road.

SUPPORT (ANKLE AND INSTEP) SUITABLE FOR YOUR NEEDS

Ankle and instep support should suit your personal needs, your body, and your travels.

If you plan on hauling heavier weight or are prone to spraining or rolling your ankle, aim for more ankle support to avoid spraining or rolling an ankle.  Pick a higher top boot that also provides ample cushioning around the boot’s top.

However, for most travelers, I recommend a low top boot or hiking shoe.  Not only will this make for a more packable boot, but with reduced ankle support your ankles, and the muscles that support them, will strengthen over time making you less dependent on support from your shoes and more resistant to injury

COMFORT AND PERSONAL FIT: ENSURE SNUGNESS IN THE HEEL, ROOM IN THE TOES

A “great” pair of boots mean nothing if they are uncomfortable to wear or uncomfortable on your feet.  Ensure that the shoe is snug and keeps your foot in place in the right places (around the heel cup, around the arch and bridge of your feet) and allows movement in the right places (around the toes, leaving ample room for them to spread.

When walking downhill in your shoes, your feet will slide slightly, but your toes shouldn’t touch the front of your boots – otherwise, hikes on downhill trails will leave you with bruised toes.

The heel cup, combined with the lacing system, should lock your heel in place securely, preventing the hotspots and blisters that come with friction.

STYLE: NEUTRAL COLORS AND TIMELESS DESIGN INSPIRATIONS MAKE FOR VERSATILE WEAR

Though your standard hiking boot can perform excellently on the trail, it can kill your style in the city.  When you’re traveling light with your whole life in your backpack , every piece of your wardrobe needs to perform multiple functions and be wearable everywhere – from trail to city.  As impressive as those Asolo’s are, they’re not going to fit very well during a night out in Buenos Aires.  Luckily, the right pair of travel hiking boots can add a bit of style.

To get a somewhat stylish pair of travel hiking boots that perform, aim for these points.

• Solid colors and earth tones create a more versatile look than the bright reds and yellows and hide the dirt of your adventures
• Aim for leather or canvas for a rustic, more timeless stylish look thanks to their inherent ruggedness
• Proven and Classic styling such as chukkas, military-style boots, or Chucks: theseshoes have a fundamental look that makes them smart and versatile,

WATERPROOFING

Personally, for hard adventuring over multiple days and weeks, such as in Vietnam riding motorcycles , in the Himalayas for surprise rains and Patagonia hopping through puddles, I prefer waterproofing – but this is simply a personal preference and should depend on your destination.

If you plan to adventure in South America, the Himalayas, or anywhere that has cold weather, the possibility of crossing streams, or heavy, cold rains, I recommend picking shoes with waterproofing.  In South America and the Himalayas, the Gore-Tex lining of my Lowa Renegade GTX Pros did trap a little water inside, but they kept more cold water out, ultimately keeping me comfy.

If you plan to adventure into hotter, more humid climates, like Southeast Asia, I recommend skipping the waterproofing as it will leave your feet sweaty and funky in the end.

Most waterproof linings, such as Gore-Tex, do allow your feet to breathe by venting water vapor (from your sweat), but it performs best if the temperature outside of your shoe is cooler than the inside of your shoe.  This lack of ventilation translates to a lot of trapped sweat next to your feet in warmer climates.

If you’re traveling around the world and will pass through both types of climates, I recommend picking up a low profile waterproof hiking boot and pairing it with a lightweight hiking sandal for the humid and hot situations, like the Xero Trails , Lunas , or Chacos

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN RATING THE RIGHT TRAVEL BOOT FOR YOU

• No boot will be perfect for everyone or every environment
• You don’t need waterproofing
• The shoes you have maybe just fine if they’re comfortable, durable, and supportive enough for your needs.

Now that you know what to look for in a good travel boot, and are more aware of your needs, let’s look at the 13 best hiking boots for travel

THE 11 OF THE BEST BOOTS FOR TRAVEL

1. the lems boulder boot, a packable minimalist and stylish boot for dayhikes.

The Lems Boulder Boot is one of the most comfortable boots I’ve ever owned and equally perfect for day hikes and city life.  The cushion and comfort of the soles make them ideal for lengthy city tours and exploring by foot, whether outdoors or on the pavement.  Lightweight and designed with a comfortable heel cup, these shoes fit and feel like a second skin that you’ll fall in love with quickly.

If you plan multi-day treks (beyond two days), I wouldn’t recommend the Lems Boulder Boot unless you’re already comfortable with barefoot and minimalist footwear – but if you are, these are an excellent choice.

Stylish enough for most circumstances and so packable they’ll easily fit into a water bottle pocket, the Lems Boulder boot is a great travel boot option.

• The Lems Chukka

2. PALLADIUM PAMPA AND PAMPA WP

Cheap, comfortable from the start, and stylish with “chuck taylor” cues.

If you’re on a budget and need an affordable yet fashionable boot (I mean…they’re French boots) that is comfortable enough to hike in, the Palladium Pampa and Pampa Waterproof may be perfect for you. 

These Chuck Taylor’s styled hiking boots were initially worn by the elite French Foreign legion, meaning adventure is in their DNA.  An extremely comfy and soft rubber sole and canvas uppers make these a true “zero break-in period” shoe, meaning they’re comfortable and ready to hike in the second you put them on.  The old school canvas shoe look makes them versatile enough to stay stylish in most situations too.

3. GORUCK MACV-1 COYOTE

Lightweight, durable, and stylish (if you like military-inspired design).

Extremely light and extremely comfy from the start, with an old school 1970’s style military “jungle boot” look.  The MACV-1 was designed to be a tough, ready for anything rucking shoe, light and comfortable enough to walk in for miles and tough enough to stand up to abuse.  All of this adds up to another versatile travel shoe that packs down easily.

The smooth, black MACV-1 boots are great for those that can work the look of military-inspired look well.

If you prefer the classic tan “rough out” look of Timberland boots, the MACV-1 in Coyote brown could make a city suitable and adventure-ready shoe option.

In either case, these boots are an upgrade for travelers, in look and weight, from your average multi-colored hiking boot.

4. THE LOWA RENEGADE GTX LO

No break-in, performs amazingly, and the most comfortable “true hiking boot” i’ve owned.

The Lowa Renegade GTX Lo has a very muted, almost sneaker-like look but packs a comfortable, beefy sole and durable uppers that make it perfect whether you’re hiking for a day, or a month.  Gore-tex waterproofing keeps wet weather out and your feet dry, while leather uppers keep durable and the Vibram Evo Trac sole sticks to nearly any terrain, wet or dry.

Though the Renegade is a little chunkier than other options on this list, I highly recommend it for multi-day trekking adventures – or if you want a hiking boot that doesn’t look like a hiking boot.  I wore the Renegades for over a week on the Everest Base Camp Trek off and on during my motorbike tour through Asia and countless other hikes then.

A comfortable, durable, and high performing yet understated hiking shoe; the Lowa Renegade GTX pro is an excellent option for travel.

12. ALTAMA OTB MARITIME ASSAULT SHOE

A durable and sturdy chuck taylor style boot designed to swim in, and ready for adventure.

The Altama OTB Maritime Assault shoe is an extremely durable and water ready assault boot masquerading as a pair of Converse Chuck Taylors.  A “Seal rubber,” rock climbing inspired sole is designed to grip anything, wet or dry.  The 1000D Cordura nylon uppers are abrasion and tear-resistant, so they’ll last through nearly any abuse you can deliver.  Waterproof insoles and side drainage ports make these shoes suitable for swimming and even suitable to wear under fins when diving. 

The result is one of the toughest, adventure-ready “shoes” available, and it’s still fashionable enough for rooftop cocktails.

This shoe was my favorite shoe for wandering , city travels, and more for over a year of travel through Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.  I’ve run in them, swam in them, hiked in them, rode in them, and more, which is why I highly recommend them.  And for the price, they can’t be beaten.

HIKING SANDALS: FOR HOT, HUMID, AND WET ADVENTURES

During hot and humid adventures, such as through Southeast Asia trekking volcanoes and motorbiking rice fields, or wet adventures, liking canyoning down rivers and waterfalls in Vietnam – you may need the traction and cushioning sole of a hiking boot, but the breathability and freedom of a sandal.  In that case, hiking sandals and minimalist sandals are perfect to bring as your primary adventure shoe.

During a 4 month trip through Southeast Asia, bouncing from the hills and islands of Thailand to motorbiking Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia, to wandering Myanmar, the weather was a little too hot for my waterproofed Lowa Renegades , so I practically lived in my Xero trails hiking sandals.  The Xero Trails are on the minimalist side, which made them so packable I could carry them in a daypack, but these four options will have at least one hiking sandal fit for everyone.

Even if you do find your favorite travel hiking book, I highly recommend taking an adventure ready sandal (and not just your Havaianas flip flops).  You’ll thank me later.

13. CHACOS MEN’S Z-CLOUD

A hiking boot sole with an adventure sandal top.  comfy. grippy. .

The Chacos Z-Cloud is essentially a hiking boot sole with straps attached to keep it sticking to your foot.  The result “sandal” gives the protection and comfort you need to explore any warmer weather terrain, wet or dry.

Chacos were designed by a rafting guide working in the Grand Canyon.  Today, they’re a hiking staple.  If you want your feet to be free and breathe while you hike, Chacos are a great option.

15. XERO TRAILS

Minimalist, versatile, and warrantied for 5,000 miles.  these hiking sandals are great for southeast asian adventures..

One of my favorite hiking options, the Xero Z-Trail sandals were my footwear of choice for months of wandering through Asia.  The thin yet durable soles take up less space than flip flips and have a 5,000-mile warranty while the z-style lacing system keeps the sandals secure enough to run in, the Xero Z-Trails is a do it all shoe that’s perfect for hot and humid climates.

I wore the Z-Trails for months (and still have them with me) and can’t recommend them enough.  Click here to read my Xero Z-Trails review after over a year of travel .

16. LUNA OSO , AND LUNA MONO

Another hiking sandals option for those that like sandals “between the toes” instead of over..

The Luna sandal line, including the Oso and the Mono , continues the design and function of barefoot hiking sandals that Xero does – except the Luna sandals lace between the toe (instead of over the top of the foot like Xero sandals ).  Additionally, Luna’s different lines ( Oso and Mono ) differ in sole thickness (for comfort) and tread style (to perfectly match your chosen terrain), allowing you to pick the sandal that’s best suited for your pack, feet, and trails.

Good value for money as a gift set. Nice to try all products without having to buy the full size.

History of stary oskol.

In 1300, there was a village called Ugly on the the territory of the present city. Today, it is one of the districts of Stary Oskol. At that time, the village was part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and was a border crossing point on the border with the Golden Horde.

The settlement of Oskol was founded by Russian Tsar Fyodor Ioanovich’s order (Ivan’s the Terrible son) to protect the southern borders of the Russian kingdom in 1593. The bulk of the population were peasants and the military.

In 1617, the town was burned by the Poles. In 1625, 1642 and 1677, the Crimean Tatars approached Stary Oskol, but could not capture it. The town was renamed Stary Oskol (meaning Old Oskol) in 1655, when the town of Tsaryov-Alexeyev, located down the river, was renamed Novy Oskol (New Oskol). Fortifications of the town existed until the 18th century.

More Historical Facts…

Gradually, Stary Oskol turned into peaceful, commercial and merchant town - the center of an agricultural district. Industrial production was represented mainly by enterprises on processing agricultural products.

In 1780, the town got its coat of arms. In 1784, Stary Oskol like most Russian towns of that time was rebuilt according to a new plan signed by Empress Catherine II. A large number of brick houses were built, mostly two-story buildings. The historic center of Stary Oskol has been preserved to our time.

In the second half of the 19th century, the town had a wide network of schools, libraries, reading rooms, printing, secondary schools. In 1894, construction of the railway began, trade and industry began to develop rapidly.

Until the 1930s, there were eleven Orthodox churches in Stary Oskol. During the Second World War, Stary Oskol was occupied by the Germans from July 2, 1942 to February 5, 1943. In 1954, the city became part of the newly formed Belgorod region.

In the late 1960s - early 1970s, in connection with the active development of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly (the most powerful iron ore basin in the world), Stary Oskol became a major center of iron and steel industry.

Stary Oskol was declared a city of three top-priority Komsomol construction projects. The largest enterprises: Lebedinsky Mining and Processing Plant, Stoilensky Mining and Processing Plant, Oskolsky Electrometallurgical Plant became not only the city-forming enterprises, but also the largest industrial enterprises of the country. Stary Oskol experienced a new birth.

Today, Stary Oskol is a rapidly developing city, one of the leading mining and metallurgical centers of Russia.
