If you have a chance to visit Park City Utah - keep an eye out for this tree. Yes, shoes really do grow on trees! Sam, thanks for the heads up!
I think I’ll post this under…..”shoe art” In Park City this is installment is considered “art”. Most cities in Utah would consider this the “Lost and Found.”
You can find the tree between Deer Valley Drive and the Marriott.
Enjoy the shoes “tree” of the day.
Need some holiday cheer? Here is the perfect justification to go and buy yourself a pair of shoes! I was reading an interesting article today and I have included it for your viewing pleasure.
A special thanks to Leslie LoBue for this article
“UNDATED (WJRT) — (12/11/07)– If you are having back pain, believe it or not — your feet may be to blame.
HealthFirst reporter Leslie LoBue says relief may be just a shoebox away.
From high heels, to as low as they go, women have had a long love affair with shoes. But fashion and function don’t always mesh.
On this high-tech runway, podiatrists get to the bottom of a patient’s pain. Force plates imbedded in the floor measure pressure points in the foot.
One other common problem, heel pain, is often caused by walking in completely flat shoes.
“Every shoe I buy has a little heel. I don’t wear anything flat,” said Rita Schlessinger.
For some patients, a new style may be just what the doctor ordered. Podiatrist Kathya Zinzer says they have to fit the person who’s going to wear them.
“Every person is an individual, and every footprint and foot type is like your own basic fingerprint. So every shoe type is going to be different for different patients.”
With this motion detection system, cameras on the outside of the runway send out infrared light. They reflect movement of sensors placed on patients’ ankles, toes and legs. That provides a 3-D image of the patient in mid-stride.
“A lot of patients who come in to see us, come in and are having a lot of lower back pain or knee pain, and it really starts from the foot,” said Zinzer.
Doctors say any heel over two inches changes the body’s center of gravity. Over time, some patients may begin to feel the effects, but that doesn’t mean high heels have to take a hike.
By occasionally switching styles, you’ve got a better chance of staying pain and injury free.
The Gait Study Center at Temple University is considered one of the most advanced labs of its kind in the world.
Their technology can also be used to help you find the right running shoe.”
Why — because we are interested in more than simply talking about shoes, we care about the feet that go in them too, thats you!
Go and buy some new shoes - do it in the name of health, holidays or just because your friends at shoesoftheday.com recommended it.
Enjoy your shoes of the day, now go and get another pair.
‘Tis the season for good friends, good times, good egg nog and good shoes. The Ugg and nog have very similar characteristics. First of all the Ugg.
Unless you have been living in a hole, you already know that this is the most popular boot on the ‘winter’ market. Everywhere I go I see the Uggs. I have even seen them at the gym. Hey, I didn’t think you could do the stair-master in boots either, boy was I wrong. Nate, you were there.
This sturdy and stylish boot does it all. Socks or sans-socks, you can’t go wrong in these top of the sheepskin line-d boots. The Ugg boots offer ultra comfort, warmth, and functionality of a shorter height, these boots fit great under or over pants. Soft sheepskin suede upper with soft, comfortable natural shearling fleece lining. What is the last pair of shoes you could wear under or over? Right, moon boots. Think of these as your more comfortable and more expensive moon boots.
Wear them up or fold them down to expose the furry sheepskin lining.
Now the Nog:
Blend mildly, or hit liquefy for a few extra minutes and you get the same fluffy top as you see when you fold down the Ugg! Okay, really so what does egg nog have to do with feet? Well, for really sore feet, 10X the ingredients below and fill your jetted tub. Turn on the jets for the same frothy, whipped effect. Soak feet for 5-10 minutes. Don’t forget to bring a mug for the occasional sip — and keep your Uggs close by, they will never smell better. Um, soaking wet wool that smells like cinnamon and nutmeg. Next thing you know all of the top health spas will be doing this ‘nog-foot-bath’ — just remember you heard it first from the shoesoftheday.com
If you combine the two, you get a tasty holiday treat for your feet. The shoes of the day: Uggs. The drink of the month: Nog
For the Veggie/Vegan animal-lover type who are still upset about the animals who gave their wool that some folks might have warm feet, enjoy your Soy Nog:
1 quart soy milk
6 ounces Mori-Nu silken style tofu, extra firm (I Really don’t know what this is, but if you have it in the cupboard, this may be your one chance to use it.)
6 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla
1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
In a blender, combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. Chill before serving. Makes 5 cups.
*No animals were used in the production of this email…other than the animals used for the shoes. But I had nothing to do with the manufacturing, I just write the shoe reviews and share incredible shoe recipes.
