We are still trying to figure out how Yoda got these shoes on his tri-pronged feet.

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!

What shoes are you wearing tomorrow? I am sure you may have asked yourself this question, as yesterday was “Earth Day”  Well, what will you wear tomorrow, if you didn’t wear these today? Look no further.  Nothing like reviewing “tomorrows” shoes today.  Everyone is talking green — green this, green that. If it says “green” it will somehow be better for the planet, right?  Now Simple, the shoe company is doing their part.  Simple has launched a shoe line called “green toe.”  Now, I have heard of “having a green thumb”– but green toe?  Green toes…isn’t that bad?  Not only are these shoes made from recycled tires (and other items that you might find in your local dumpster) but they look like they are made with recycled material.  Can’t they make these look a little better?  Just think about the Toyota Prius, what a mess!  Can we make a hybrid car that doesn’t look like a hybrid car?  It’s part car, part blender!  Well, enough for today, get these on your feet toe-morrow!

These simple shoes feature:

•    Cushioned felt heel pad
•    Molded latex outsole provides comfort and flexibility
•    Jute laces add natural flair
•    Unfinished brass hardware looks rustic and stylish
•    Removable natural latex pedbed with cotton canvas cover
•    Natural crepe rubber midsole is fashionable and environmentally friendly
•    Water based cements
•    100% post consumer paper pulp foot forms

Does anyone have a granola bar I can chew on - these jute laces are way too chewy!

Happy Presidents Day!  Each Monday, we go back to work and address our own individual business challenges – your shoes shouldn’t be one of those challenges.   So, each Monday we are going to review shoes that will make your feet look and feel great on the first day of the week.  However, today I was thinking about the oval office and what shoes I would want on my feet if I were the President.  If I were the President for one day, I would want a pair of shoes that would offer a few fantastic features:

• Lighten my load.  I would want shoes that would help lighten the load and evenly distribute the weight which would be on the shoulders of a president.

• Look cool walking around.  I would welcome the increased style in my posture and gait.  Besides, isn’t there plenty of sitting that goes on in Washington already.  A pair of shoes where I could get up, walk around, and look good doing it.

• Built-in wake up calls.  The promised activation of neglected muscles – now that’s a stimulus package that I could believe in!

• Help with the numbers. Increased rear-end( buttock) muscle activity – as I am sure it (the rear-end) gets its share of lactic acid build up and a fair share of kicking.

• Help! my back!  I would love shoes that would strengthen my spine subconsciously.  Consciously, don’t we need more strong spines in Washington?  Well, more spines in Washington would be great, period!  Don’t you agree?

• Consensus - something my whole body could agree on.  A shoe that would activate my whole body while in use.  Let’s get everyone in the House and Senate some of these shoes!

Well President, on this special day that is dedicated to you, we looked long and hard and found a pair of shoes that will do all of the above and more for you!  We recommend the new “business on top, party on the bottom” Karani shoes by MBT.  The MBT Karani’s have a rocking chair style bottom which will keep you rocking all day long.  President Barack Obama already has a pretty district strut – imagine what these MBT’s would do to add to it!  Here is a word of caution, there is required break-in time with these shoes – MBT recommends that you work up to wearing them all day,  take a few hours the first week and get your body used to the unique sole.

Do you want to look Presidential in all that you do, buy a suit and tie and a pair of MBT shoes and you are on your way.   Don’t forget to mention this helpful shoe recommendation from your friends at shoes of the day when you run in 2012.

Take a closer look by clicking on the MBT shoe below:

Twas  the night after shoe Christmas, by shoesoftheday.com.

Twas the night after shoe Christmas, when all through the house,
Not a person was standing, not even a mouse.
The stinky stockings were hung by the heater with care,
Because a soggy foot and a smelly shoe were filled there.

The children were all passed out from the ghastly smell,
While success stories of Dr. Scholls odor eaters some did tell.
And mamma with her mask, and me clasping my nose,
Had spotted the shoes from whence the smell arose.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the chair to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The spotlights on our house really made it glow,
outlined each shadow of the people below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But all from inside, with febreze and seeking fresh air.

With a serious shoe problem, I needed help quick,
I knew in a moment, shoes of the day would do the trick.
More rapid and rigorous reviews on shoes they came,
And typed in my browser, and shouted, and called them by name!

“Now Nike! now, DC! now, Ugg, New Balance and Kashi!
On, Converse! On, Keen! on, Cole-Hann and Salomon!
To the top of the search results they did fall!
Now shoes away! Shoes away! Shoes of the day away all!”

He spoke not a word, but went straight to the reviews,
Bookmarking this website, finding his new pair of shoes.
Now peeling his fingers off of his nose,
And giving a nod, up from the computer he rose!

He sprang to the porch, to his family gave a loud yelp,
And they came wondering how he received such rapid shoe help.
But I heard him exclaim, a new pair of shoes is in sight,
“Happy Shoe Christmas to all, and to all a ’shoes of the day’ night!”

Next year save your family from smelly feet - find your
next pair of shoes at shoes of the day DOT com!

Do your feet need more attention? Shoes of the day has the solution: you need a pair of Kashi Kicks. These shoes will leave most cars’ hood ornaments begging for more attention. I am not saying that people will be wearing these shoes dangling from a chain around their necks, because they deserve to be on your feet.

By wearing Kashi’s you are guaranteed more looks, comfort and style without an arduous “break-in” process like most shoes in this style category. They “fit” right out of the box and are true to size, with plenty of room in the toe box. I have been wearing and testing out my new pair of Kashi “AK-07’s” for a month and they are great. Here is the shoe review: Styled after the famous pianist Liberace, these shoes are every bit as eccentric as his wardrobe and on-stage accouterments - they even come with a candelabrum attached to the laces. No detail is spared in the construction from the leopard print and patent leather exterior, to the comfortable insole which is liberally layered with crushed velvet padded goodness - and did you notice the keyboard around the upper and mid-sole? Everywhere we go when we are in these shoes people stop me and say, “whoa! what kind of shoes are those and where can I get a pair?” Just today I heard, “Those are the coolest shoes I have ever seen!” and, “Those are funk-a-licious!” and one word said it all, “WOW!” If you have already read and heard enough and want more, visit the Kashi website here.

Who is Kashi anyway? I thought Kashi was some sort of a nutritious feel-good food. Well, it is if you are into eating organic wood and rocks. But we are here to tell you that Kashi means a healthy new look for your wardrobe, and take it from us, your feet will thank you later! These shoes truly shine without buying any can of boring shoe polish. Kashi has truly meshed together style, design, and a funky new fashion to draw the necessary attention to your deserving soles! Your little pigs will be saying “bling, bling, bling” all the way home from the market, or anywhere you go.
