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!

On July 1, Nike announced a new limited edition transformer shoe line.  Don’t expect them to transform before your eyes, or turn into anything other than their current structure, but you can expect them to turn some heads.  There are three different styles that will transform any wardrobe: The Nike Sharkalaid – Soundwave (to view click on the below) , Nike Zoom FP – Bumblebee and finally, Nike Zoom Flight Club – Megatron.

Transformers Basketball Shoe Collection

We think they did a great job on the unique packaging.  The shoes (that will make you look and feel like a true action figure) of the day: the Limited Edition Transformers Basketball Shoe Collection.

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!

Excerpts  from ‘Twas the Night before Christmas Poem
By Clement Moore

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.
