I don’t know about you, but I have never been worried that the soles of my feet would ever be cold. Well, here’s a pair of phurry phlip-phlops for all you cold souls. I would love your thoughts on the schizophrenic “I-cant-decide-if –I-am-in-
See ‘em here “Bonsai Sheepskin Sandals“
No, we’re not talking Wayne Newton, if so this would be a cowboy boot review. We’re talking Sir Isaac Newton and a company that has built their shoe brand around Newton’s first law of Motion. Yeah, the law that states that an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion remains in motion…etc. Shoes that remain in motion?
I don’t know about you, but I have yet to wear a pair of running shoes that say, “come-on, keep on going, you’re not tired, you feel great.” These days, I get tired just lacing up my running shoes. I just want to know, where were these shoes when I had to run the timed mile run in 7th grade 20+ years ago– probably in Coach Swenson’s “secret closet.” Jeff, you were there. Yeah, that’s for another day.
It is interesting to read and hear about trends and buzz-words in the news: “green” in building, “organic” in food, and “barefoot” in shoes. Get off your heels and run on your forefoot - that is what they say at Newton Running. (Running-man stick-figures not included.) However, if you run in cowboy boots, stay on your heels and just be careful to not damage your spurs.
Be prepared to spend a minimum of a Benjamin and a Grant for this shoe technology. Better yet, get your grant, pay for these shoes, and go running.
Enjoy the shoes of the day that stay in motion….the MEN’S CUSHION RACER by Newton Running.
‘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.
Buy here!
I couldn’t resist.
The shoes of the day: Sperrys and Crocs sitting in a tree…no, a box….no, a shoe tree.
I wish they would have used this diagram and explained it this way in 6th grade.
Nice and simple.
A perfect complement to our last shoe review. Why? Because we like these, and you need special shoes for trick-or-treating that won’t slip or slide on doormats and patio tile, and will still provide excellent support for the feet and ankles while running from house to house. Additionally, these should match any costume that is, uh…orange.
Shoes of the day: Men’s Merrell Barcelona Mid
Buy two pair! Mix and match with the 7307′s for a cornucopia of fall color!
This footwear classic originated in 1965 when Lance Clark sketched out a moccasin to create the world’s first comfort shoe.
Special thanks to Sandy for submitting these shoes of the day: Clarks England - Men’s Wallabee
Sandy says, “These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Babe Magnets.”
Sandy also said, “If you want a shoe that screams ‘I am the coolest human being alive’, it’s the Clarks Wallaby.”
Lastly, Sandy said, “They saved my life once, made breakfast, and still picked up the kids from soccer practice.”
Hop around all day or on the weekends in these comfortable Clarks England Wallabee mid boots. These boots are smooth like butter with a leather lined insole and textured rubber gum sole. This will be the only time when you’ll be thankful you had gum on your soles!
For most people, shoes are most appreciated at the end of a long day when they are “kicked-off” your feet. For most men, one pair of shoes is sufficient. On the contrary, most Bettys have shoes for every outing, occasion and outfit. Let’s be honest, most men don’t spend a lot of time thinking about shoes, “Just give me all-purpose, made-for-the-gym, running-at-the-park, working-in-the-yard, boot-runner-worker-man-made-to-last-forever shoes.” Guys, you need more than one pair and you need comfort. I am here to tell you, there is a direct correlation with the amount of money you spend on a pair of shoes and how truly comfortable they are. More expensive shoes are made with careful craftsmanship and quality materials allowing them to perfectly age and mold to your feet. You don’t need to get all dressed up in shoes made from exotic skins such as alligator, python, ostrich or squirrel to have such comfort. But we have found some links-a-plenty with some custom made beauties when you are ready to slip some on. We have scoured the web to find the finest, high-end shoe makers. Enjoy these sites, window shopping from the comfort of your own home. Price tags range from $500 - $3,000.
