Shoes Of The Day

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.

If you like cheese, get your Parmesan shoes here.

The Chuck Taylor All-Stars were first produced by Converse in 1917, that is 5 years after the sinking of the Titanic for all you DiCaprio lovers. “I’m the King of the World!” Chuck thought the same thing, when he made the canvas and rubber-soled shoes his preferred shoe of choice by putting his stamp of approval on its ankle patch and in the history books as the most successful shoe of all time.

Think of the demographic that has enjoyed these shoes through the years: The basketball players, the skaters, the punk-rockers, sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies - they all adore them. They think these are righteous shoes.

The perfect shoe for all…no, for fall! They even come in “Harvest Pumpkin.” Go ahead Bettys, I’ll say it with you; “Oh, cute.”

Enjoy the shoes of the day: Converse Men’s, Betty’s and Chillin’s All-Star Ox, I mean Oxen. These Converse are Oxen!

Can you name a pair of shoes that is over 90 years old, that you can still buy new?

How many pairs have you had? Me? Thanks for asking, I have personally owned 5 pairs, including Pink.

All I want you to do is simply look at these shoes. Thats right, just look at them. Relax. Now stare. Yes, look at them like you would look at the clouds when you are flat on your back in a nice open field of…okay, wake up! See what you can make out of these Men’s ‘Stich it’ shoes. Now say ‘Stich it’ five times really fast. Wow, didn’t think you could do it, sounds like a beat-box, huh?

I have been starring at my computer screen for about 12 hours today, and these particular shoes are starting to come to life. My mind keeps reverting back to a dragon. Looks like a S-shaped wing-a-ling dragon with a beefy arm to me. Oh, right you might know him as the Burniator! Can you see Trogdor in these shoes too?

Enjoy the shoes of the day, I am going to Walmart.com Phew!

Don’t like it? You might like this SIMPLE LOAF shoe

Remember those hot socks in the early eighties? Yes, you nailed it; the rainbow, toe-filling delights? Well, guess what? I just found some that someone has turned into shoes! Except I can’t find them in rainbow color. Right, maybe that’s a good thing! I must admit at first glance, these toe-full shoes are a touch on the freaky side. I can hear it now, “Whoa, are all of your toes in there?” I would like to get a pair, but I must admit that I suffer from the “my-second-toe-is-longer-than-my-big-toe-coolness.” I wonder if Vibram has extended toe sleeves for my “special” toe? If so, done and done. But then I think, would I really like people staring at my feet that much? “Um, sir..what is wrong with your feee…um…those…those are shoes?”

I love to snow ski, and you know how hard it is to try to successfully put your lift ticket on with out any wrinkles or simply buckle your boots with leverage-less mittens! Come on, it is hard to do things with your five fingers when they are bundled together in a mitten! Imagine what your toes can do now, now that they are FREE! This little piggy must be stoked that it doesn’t have to share the same cramped space as the little piggy who ate roast beef. “Phew, I am glad that stench is gone!”

I love the description on the Vibram site:

• Step 1 Place FiveFingers flat on the floor. Whoa, my hands or my feet?
• Step 2 Hold heel tab and insert foot while aligning your toes with the five toe pockets. Wait, what about my FiveFingers that are flat on the floor? Wait, I see where they are going with this, I see where they are going now!
• Step 3 Inch each toe into the appropriate pocket, make sure you have only one toe in each pocket before pulling up the heel. Appropriate pocket? Yeah, no doubt, that would hurt!
• Step 4 Gently tighten the elastic cord for added security. Pulling the cord too tightly could cause discomfort. Yeah, ya think?
• + If you plan to use your FiveFingers for activities involving swift water or deep mud, you may want to consider the Sprint or Surge models for a more secure fit during those activities.

This evening I went rafting down the beautiful P-Town river. Yes, the same river not far up the road from the Cirque Lodge, where Lindsay Lohan is rehabbing. The white water wasn’t too cold. However, I think my toes would have been warmer if they were individually insulated.

Tell me what you think about these shoes? Or comment about me floating the same river that Lindsay just rafted. Man, rehab must be rough. Day 1: Rafting in a river. Day 2: Zoo! Day 3: Helicopter rides. Day 4: Bike rides. Day 5: Talk about the addiction. Hey Lindsay, I think these Vibram FiveFinger Shoes may make rehab easier too. “Okay everyone, after you are done counting all your fingers, you can count your toes too!

Thanks Vibram! Thanks, for keeping toes separated, insulated and helping people graduate from rehab!
