Hamburger Shoes of the day
Happy 4th from all of us at Shoes of the day!
We have done a Vibram Five Fingers review but, we continue to hear about them. My aunt sent me an email, “hey, you should review these shoes.” Next, a good friend; “you’ve got to review these again.” Finally, when I saw Sergey Brin wearing them comfortably in a directors chair, I had to write about them again. After all, if these shoes are good enough for the co-founder of Google, they deserve a second review.
VibramFiveFingers.com “recommend(s) wearing FiveFingers for exercise, for play, and for fun. Stimulating muscles in your feet and lower legs will not only make you stronger and healthier, it improves your balance, agility and proprioception.”
Do I own a pair? No. Remember, I suffer from “the-my-second-toe-is-longer-than-my-big-toe-coolness.” Perhaps Vibram will make a custom pair for me with an extended cab! If you are done with socks and your toes are tired of co-habitation, get them their own space with the Vibram Five Fingers “Floves.”
Meet the new Lebron VII. LeBron released his new shoes last week in Akron, Ohio. Here is what LeBron had to say about his shoes “The new LeBron VII takes my signature line to a new level of innovation,” said LeBron James. “As the demands of my game evolve and increase, Nike consistently designs and develops shoes helping drive my on-court success.” Does he need more success on the court? Talk amongst yourselves.
Now to follow suite from the previous shoes review, we would like to highlight the designer. These kicks were designed by Nike designer Jason Petrie. Not only does Jason draw shoes for Nike, but he also collects them. Nice work Jason.
Buy them if: You have $160.
Forget about them if: You don’t.

Happy Shoes of the day shopping!
As of August 11, 2009, you now have 8 new stylish reasons to shop at Payless. We were selected as wear-testers for the fresh, new Jeff Staple designed “STPL AIRWALKS.” These kicks come in five very cool styles for men; including the 50/50, the Gambit, the Heaven slip-on and the Terrain. The ladies get three styles to choose from. These limited-edition shoes are just in time for back-to-school shopping and won’t break the bank with prices ranging from $30 to $50 a pair!
The samples we received were the Heaven slip-on to wear and review. The AIRWALK Heaven is a comfortable lightweight, no-lace, slip-on shoe. We liked the unique and fresh illustrated design and comfy insole. We didn’t like the slick feel of the non-marking sole.
What? Heaven Twin Gore – MENS STPL X AIRWALK
Why? Because you can get these off and on in a hurry. Sunny Southern California was the primary inspiration for this canvas upper. The print on the shoes was created by designer jeffstaple featuring illustrated print of wind, water and waves. The Heavens are made of fabric, rubber and other man-made materials.
Where? STPLxAirwalk limited-edition fall collection is exclusively available now at select Payless ShoeSource stores and Payless.com.
You need them if: You want a fresh pair of designer kicks that don’t look cheap!
You don’t need them if: You’re “off the wall” about your Vans.
Our take on these shoesoftheday: Comfortable slip-on shoe and perfect if you’re headed back-to-school, or to California on a budget!

Vans first came “off the wall” in March of 1966. The first Vans shoes didn’t even have names – they had numbers! The Vans number 44 was their first authentic deck shoe. Vans were the pioneers in the mass production of custom shoes. This is the reason I thought they should be the first review! It all started when one of their customers came into their factory, office and store and said “that’s a nice pink, but I really want a brighter pink.” All it took was that comment from a customer and custom vans were born!
Custom isn’t the most affordable route – be prepared to pay extra for your customizing your shoes. The cool thing is, no one else will have a pair like them – unless you make some killer custom shoes like my friend Lee! Enjoy the shoes of the day: Lee’s custom Vans.

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?

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.
