Shoes That Are Selling In A Recession

12 06 2009

What are the best recession-proof summer shoes?  SUV’s.  No, we’re not talking automobiles – although these are the cleanest, most fuel-efficient SUVs that we could find on the road.  What are all of our readers are telling us?  This is the best, most comfortable shoe for the summer.  Yes, we have reviewed these shoes before and here is what you need to know about these Sanuk’s:

  • These shoes are hand-made.  Really.
  • Wear them with or without socks.  (If you are over 45, socks are OK with these as long as you have your braided belt on.)
  • They feel like a flip-flop but sound like a shoe.
  • Get them wet, they will easily dry.  (If you’re the impatient type, hairdryers typically expedite the process)
  • A new pair smells like new, an old pair will need washing.
  • They taste like….

…well, that pretty much wraps up this review.   In the mean time, send us some to taste test Sanuk and we’ll tell you how close they come to chicken.  The business on top, party on the bottom shoes of the day: Sanuk SUV

You can buy yourself a pair for best deal here.  Or, if you are looking for some additional support, they make a semi-high top called the Sanuk “Outlaw”

My apologies to jetsetcarina, I know you loathe these shoes but, they do come in camouflage so no one would see them on your feet!



Shoe War – Kobe’s vs. Jordan’s

11 06 2009

Is it the really the shoes?  According to Mickael Pietrus, the point guard for the Orlando Magic, he thinks so.  Until the 2009 NBA playoffs, Pietrus has been lacing-up the new Kobe Bryant endorsed “Nike Hyperdunk” sneakers.  Now he is leaving the hyperdunks at home.  So, what shoes did he choose for the playoffs?  He has been wearing a pair of Air Jordan‘s.  Perhaps the Magic will need the all the Air Jordan karma they can muster to win the next 3 games in a row.  Otherwise, it looks like Kobe will get his title.  Now in the off-season,  the only place we may see Kobe’s shoes   will be collecting dust in Mickael’s closet or jumping over expensive automobiles.

Kobe Nike Hyperdunk Shoes

For the next game, we recommend that Pietrus wear the “Nike – Air Believe“shoes – we think these are his only chance.  Do you believe the Magic can pull it off?
