Shoes Of The Day

Today’s shoe review: Asics Gel-Trabuco® 12 WR.  Trail running shoes are hot this time of year, specifically these new runners from Asics.  The first pair of running shoes that I purchased were Asics, as they came highly recommended from a female track-star (we think both of those qualifications are sufficient validation for any running shoe purchase.)

The Gel-Trabuco® all-weather design offers all-trail protection.  They are incredibly light-weight at only 9oz.  The Gusset design keeps out all the stuff that you don’t want in your shoes.  The forefoot rock plate helps protect your toes. Water-resistant upper keeps the water out, but still allows your foot to breathe.  The unique recipe for the grip of the sole is intended to provide excellent traction.  This may be the ideal shoe for your outdoor running, as the spring weather is always unpredictable.  Keep your footwear predictable with these Asics.

Shoes Of The Day?  Ascis. Gel. Trabuco®. 12. WR.  Period.

Maybe next year you’ll buy her the heels she wanted instead of the running shoes you thought she’d love.

Chuck Taylor’s Shoes Of the Day, Again!

By now you may have abandoned most of your New Years resolutions, right?  Hang on, don’t give up on the rock star goal just yet.   These shoes may be the answer and will make you feel like a rock star all year long.

“Chuck-out” these Pink Floyd Chuck Taylor Converse All Stars.  When you wear these you can really ask your feet “Hello, hello, is there anybody in there?”

You like the doors?  Then sing “Hello, I love you wont you tell me your name?”  Yes, open the door and meet the Chuck Taylor.

If you like the Grateful Dead, these Chuck Taylor’s are yours and the next time you listen to “truckin’” think about changing the lyrics to “Chuckin’ got my chips cashed in. Keep Chuckin’, like the do-dah man. Together, more or less in line, just keep chuckin’ on.”

Finally, if you’re now a new fan of The Who because of their halftime performance at the Superbowl, then these are your shoes.

Thanks for the heads up Todd and thanks to bagginsshoes.com.  Enjoy the rock n’ roll shoes of the day!
