You Need A Diet Packed With SHOES!

30 01 2009

You don’t need a new diet, you need new shoes.

January is the beloved month for resolutions.  This year I made three simple resolutions and yes, I have already completed them.  Done, short and sweet.  Now I am on to my next set of resolutions.  Most people start with a monster list of things that they want to accomplish – which is great.  However, what I would recommend is starting with a short list of things you would like to accomplish and then…..drum-roll please…… actually do them!  If you miss a day, make it up!  Success is mini victories – small things consistently repeated that equal great results and make the biggest difference.  By now you are probably thinking, “Good GRIEF – I thought this was a shoe review site!”  It is, just hold tight, and continue reading; I am getting to the shoes!

Most people want to lose weight and not pay the price – we all want a quick fix.  Well my beloved readers, here is the secret: if you want to lose weight here are three simple things that you can do:  1. Eat less.  Whoa, novel idea I know.  But, it actually works.   2. Exercise more.  3. Buy a new pair of shoes.  Yep, that’s right buy a new pair of shoes!  Every time you stare at those new runners it will remind you to GET ACTIVE and remember the small commitment that you made, especially when you’re looking at the double-decker-fudge-chocolate-marshmallow-triple-dipped-pleasure-ice-cream-delight.  If you’re not sure what exercise shoe is best for you – I recommend a new shoe gem that I just found.   Click on the shoe for additional views.  Buy yourself a new pair and have them shipped for free right to your front door.  The Shoe to review: The Ecco Mudslinger II.
Ecco Mudslinger Running Shoe:
Ecco Performance - Mudslinger II (Titanium/ Royal) - Footwear

Ecco is a trusted brand and comfort echoes when you say the name.  This upper is highly breathable and 100% waterproof thanks to the GORE-TEX® material.  Ecco has constructed this shoe with their RECEPTOR® technology.  What is RECEPTOR® technology? It mirrors human motion and the foot’s sensory nerve-ending cells, or receptors.  Yes, receptors similar to what your taste buds do when you look at ice cream.

This shoe is ideal for running on or off road.  Enjoy the shoes of the day to start your New Year and 2009 resolutions off right, the Ecco Mudslinger II.  By the way, I have already lost 5 lbs.



Twas The Night After Shoe Christmas

26 12 2008

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!

Finding *New* Balance

25 08 2007

Saturdays give me the opportunity to wear of multiple pairs of shoes. Today I had four different pairs on. The day began on my road bike up a beautiful local canyon. Shoes: Specialized Roadies. (Glad I had my booties too) Next I found myself outside doing some yard work. Shoes: Reef flip-flops. Then it was back up the canyon for a late afternoon hike and pic-nic with friends and family. Shoes: New Balance “Off Road” 872′s. These are the best off-road shoes that I have ever owned: light, breathable and sturdy for the uneven and changing mountain terrain. These are the shoes of the day today: New Balance Off Road 872′s

The day ended by attending a friend’s wedding reception in a pair of brown Banana Republic loafers – extra comfy leather, although the sole is a little hard. Congrats to the New’s.

What did you wear today?

These New Balance shoes are pretty cool:
