Shoes Of The Day

Guten Tag!  It’s Monday, time for a unique shoe review.  Nat-2 is the new convertible 2 in 1 shoe.  Engineered in Munich Germany, these shoes come in 20 different styles with endless possibilities to mix and match.  Buy two pairs, create four different variations.  Buy six….and well, you get the point.  These shoes resemble the original Chuck Taylors, why not copy the king of shoes?

Enjoy the Unique shoes of the day: The Nat-2 convertibles.

The Nat-2 Features:

• 2 in 1 function (similar to an El Camino)
• Interchangeable tops, or as we like to call them, “Uppers”
• Stainless and sturdy zipper.
• Flexible abrasion resistant outsole.
•  Shock-absorbing and cushioned footbed.
• Handmade - no sweatshop here.

Check these shoes - if you are in to stacking awkward blocks as they drop, now you can stack these Tetris Shoes from Puma. The shoes of the day…..

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.

The shoes of the day: car shoes!

The meter actually reads “Free Parking For All Mustard-Colored-Shoe-Cars-With-Laces-And-Chocolate-Brown-Ankle-Padding” All others “NO PARKING ANYTIME!”

Now you can cook your own shoes! To make the best shoes of the day, follow along closely.

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup barbecue sauce
2 Toebox-z’s or substitute for plural “toeboxi”
2 Vamps
2 or more Eyelets
2 soles
2 tongues. Cow tongue may taste better. Tenderize to your own liking.
1/2 cup diced grilled real soul
2 Insoles
2 Outsoles
2 Midsoles
2 Heel Counters
4 Toplines
1/4 Quarter quarters
1/4 cup chopped red bell Upper or pepper — you choose, after all these are your shoes.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Pam the pan
2. Crank heat on range top to med-high.
3. Place shoe pieces in a shallow baking pan, skin side up. Combine the melted butter or margarine, honey, mustard, salt and curry powder and pour the mixture over the sole. Cook on the range (or home on the range) for 1 1/4 hours (75 minutes), basting every 15 minutes with pan drippings, until the shoe is nicely browned and tender and the juices run clear, or until all ingredients are melted into one whole. Grab chopsticks, soy sauce and enjoy.
4. For best results, test temperature first on your friend’s shoes.

Your final product should look like something like this.* We traveled to SOHO in NYC to the puma shoe store to see the top BBQ shoe chefs and to capture these pictures for your viewing pleasure, Enjoy. See cooking can be fun! Ummm, smells so good!

Sandy, don’t forget the nutter-butter to grease the pan!

“Lace-up boots are staging a comeback in the men’s aisle” say the Forbes Fashion Experts. We simply ask, when did men’s lace-up boots ever leave the fashion aisle?

These stylish boots from Alessandro Dell’Acqua should get some looks. Any boots or shoes that have bold grommet details, webbing heel pull on loop, full lace up front with metallic tongue embellishment and airplane numbers as descriptors, qualify for the shoes of the day:Alessandro Dell’Acqua - Men’s 7307

We would like to highlight on this boot three exceptional accents: The excellent consummate V stitching, the savory style of the gun-metal grommet accents and the shiny leather heel overlay.

Thanks to the ‘JetSet‘ one of our faithful readers for submitting this ’shoe of the day’ review! Azucar, you rock! Bettys and other assorted skirts, listen up to a woman’s shoe expert and enjoy writing that is as good as these shoes!

“An intricate network of bronze wire anchors mirror-like sequins on these shimmering peep-toes. Bronze wire over leather? An entire shoe of mirror sequins? Yes, please! I think I’d wear these, uhm, everywhere. Down to Albertson’s, to pick up the mail, maybe even to the IFA. And at $1165, you’d have to wear them everywhere to make the most out of them.

A word about my friend Christian Louboutin. He is one of the world’s premiere shoe makers. He’s obsessed with the architecture and design of shoes. Louboutin’s first signature is a platform that allows the wearer comfort while propelling their feet into dizzying heights. The pitch of your foot isn’t as severe as the shoe looks at first glance all because of that platform. Four inch heels, that sounds about right.

The second signature? All Louboutin shoes have red leather soles. The story goes that Christian was pondering a pair of pumps one day and trying to figure out what was missing. His secretary was painting her nails with a Chanel fire red polish–I guess the French are OK with painting nails in front of bosses. He took one look at that bottle of Chanel and snatched it out of the secretary’s hand. He painted the bottom of the previously perplexing pumps and viola! A true Louboutin has a red sole, how delicious.”

The shoes of the day that come with a built-in platform: Louboutin Kubrick sequin leather 4 inch Plats.

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.

You’re right, its time for another Betty review. One of our incredible readers recommended and requested that I include a review for the Chella heels.

Our reader writes: “These are the Chella t-straps that I’m dying for. You can find them at cool girl shoe heaven, Anthropologie. They’re now 25% off…which makes them only…uhm…299.95.” A bargain for all you fashion divas.

Here are the specs:

Rubbed suede is reminiscent of a dew-dusted valley. Styled with an asymmetrical t-strap. By Tracey Neuls.

• Ankle button
• Leather upper, insole, sole
• 2.5″ cone heel
• Italy

These heels are highly recommended for cool people who want comfort, style, fashion and a shoe with dew-dusting as a descriptor. Shoes of the day: Chella t-straps.
