Welcome back to 1987! Polo shirt, braided belt, pegged pants and the shoes of the day: Sperry Top-Siders. Great Scott Marty!
One Sperry owner writes, “I have worn out countless pairs of these shoes. The soft, pliable leather fits like a glove.” Remember, you can find your shoes that fit like a glove here.
Welcome back, Sperry. We’ve missed you.
I am going to get a brown smoothie and then go back to hang-out in the commons.
A group of us went to a so-you-think-you-can boxing gym tonight and I sure did put on a pair of boxing gloves and pretend that I knew what I was doing. If you think you are tough, in great shape and spare-tire full or less, try one of these gyms. Oh, and don’t forget your oxygen tank and if you have a defibrillator, bring that too. During our “ring orientation” our coach said, “if you think you look funny and uncoordinated punching these bags, thats because you do.” Thanks Coach! I think I would have looked better, more coordinated and confident wearing “stretchy-pants” and these shoes of the day:
I like Nacho’ shoes too.
Super Fun. Super Funk. Super-funk-tional. That is what you will read when you go to the Sanuk main website - that’s clever folks! One of our readers recommended and requested that I include another winter flip-flop for your consideration and viewing play-sure!
Our shoes of the day reader had this to say about his Sanuks:
Pros: Easy on easy off. They stay on when you need them on, and they stay off when you need them…off….wait a second. Toss them in the washer when they need some cleaning. Then trow them in the dryer. However, we don’t recommend a warm iron, the wrinkles are cool. They are comfortable. You can get away wearing them in formal settings — yeah, that’s right they look good with slacks too.
Cons: Your feet get sweaty the first week of wear, and your shoes start to stink. That’s about it. No worries, wash them and they are okay.
Our reader reports, “there are no real Cons, they are stinking amazing.” I must also write that this particular reader purchased four pairs of them.
If they start to grow hair, contact animal control immediately. Thanks c-the-man for submitting the Sanuk, Men’s Vagabond, the shoes of the day.
Don’t worry Bettys, they have some for you too!

Happy walking, wearing, wading, washing and wahrunning.
Another orange shoe? You bet. ‘Tis the season. Pumpkins, deer-hunting vests and accoutrements, candy corns, caution signs, barricades, basketballs and oranges. Orange, the new black.
Think of an orange: citrusy, juicy, pulpy, plump and pasteurized - that is just the problem Taryn Rose was trying to solve for the feet she would treat. This is also how she said her feet felt in her three-inch heels after working a 14-hour day. This one-time, formally trained orthopedic-surgeon-turned-shoe-expert decided she’d seen enough in the hospital and was ready to become a ped-fashion diva. She traded her medical surgical tools for a leather tool kit. Her shoes are made by highly skilled artisans in Italy, with almost three hours of hand labor in each pair. Wow, sounds expensive. Remember, handmade shoes aren’t cheap and you should know by now that if a doctor is recommending them for purchase, you better make sure you have your insurance card as well as your credit card and two forms of ID. I am glad that she introduced a men’s line in 2003 - believe me, I’ve tried, and heels just don’t work, but these Astiares sure will.
Whether you are hunting for game or shoes, these Italian made orange beauties are the shoes for you. Made from soft, full-grain premium leather, this loafer-style shoe is perfect for dress or casual looks, with a slightly squared toe, stitched seam moc-style front, and side stitching. These shoes are “not-from-concentrate” and now on sale - the shoes of the day: ORANGE, Taryn Rose Men’s Astaire.
How about some OrangeSoda with some Italian Sausage?
The Chuck Taylor All-Stars were first produced by Converse in 1917, that is 5 years after the sinking of the Titanic for all you DiCaprio lovers. “I’m the King of the World!” Chuck thought the same thing, when he made the canvas and rubber-soled shoes his preferred shoe of choice by putting his stamp of approval on its ankle patch and in the history books as the most successful shoe of all time.
Think of the demographic that has enjoyed these shoes through the years: The basketball players, the skaters, the punk-rockers, sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies - they all adore them. They think these are righteous shoes.
The perfect shoe for all…no, for fall! They even come in “Harvest Pumpkin.” Go ahead Bettys, I’ll say it with you; “Oh, cute.”
Enjoy the shoes of the day: Converse Men’s, Betty’s and Chillin’s All-Star Ox, I mean Oxen. These Converse are Oxen!
Can you name a pair of shoes that is over 90 years old, that you can still buy new?
How many pairs have you had? Me? Thanks for asking, I have personally owned 5 pairs, including Pink.
My new winter flip-flops arrived in the mail today! The best part about these shoes is that all my toes are covered, and I dont have something in between my first and second toe! The supple corduroy, moc style upper is soft and stylish. Yes, they are filled with “faux sheep shearing” to keep your feet toasty-warm. They are light and comfortable and would remind you of the shoes your Dad used to wear when he would read the Sunday morning news paper, but much cooler…no, warmer…no, yes they’re awesome!
From wave surfing to channel surfing these skate style slip-ons are the perfect shoe for comfort, warmth and STYLE. Impress the Bettys and look good checking the Surf at home or on the beach with the indoor/outdoor sole!
The shoes of the day - Men’s QuikSilver Surf Check, because there is always plenty of surf to check…especially here in the “P-Town.”
On my way out the front door this morning - I noticed a very large black spider between the screen and the door. After completely soaking it with bug spray, it curled up into a little ball and I kicked it over with my foot to see if indeed it had the horrifying red markings of the black widow. Yes it was red, yes it was black, and there was no husband around.
These soles have some color underneath. Color underneath must mean Poison, no wait…more traction.
The shoes of the day; Nike Court Force High Tops with colorful soles!
I bet they are fast, what do you think?
I’m not taking the day off today! I laboriously climbed a massive mountain on my pedal bike, cooled off while wake boarding at the local the lake, and then feed my face at the highly controversial burger joint. (Yeah, I felt okay about it - after all, I exercised!) No, I didnt wear any white shoes today. Really, who made up the rule that you can only wear white shoes between Memorial Day and Labor Daybor — I read something about a Canadian delivering…. a….budget, or something…speaking of Canadians, if you want to find some classic, classy Canadian shoes - I know one Canadian who wears these ReeBoks. Yes, I really do. Reebok, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, right? I think thats the reason why this shoe has been in circulation for 35 years - or on the shelves for that long.
The shoes of the day, especially for you Foozitao.
By the way — this rule is only for the Betty’s – “White tennis shoes and off-white boots seem exempt”
What do you think? No white shoes until May, could you do it?
The shoes of the day’s first Betty shoe review. Why did I choose this shoe for the first Betty post?
Four reasons:
Enjoy the shoes of the day.
What do you think? Do these belong only in SF?
