How Many People Make a Prada Shoe?

Monday, June 25th, 2007

One of the shows on cable that I find fascinating is Discovery Channel’s How It’s Made. This show features the manufacturing process for four or five products per show. A typical half hour might be filled with the making of plastic bags, twinkies, hockey pucks and toilets. It’s a simple concept, but nearly impossible to […]

Find a Better Running Shoe

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

With so many running shoes on the market, how can you tell which one is best for you? There are walking shoes, running shoes, cross training shoes and racing shoes. Shoes for men and shoes for women. High arches, low arches, off-road and on-road. The options are enough to make your head spin!

NikeID Shoes for Nike+iPod Gear

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

Not too long ago, I wrote about the Nike+iPod gear, a collaboration between Apple and Nike. In that article I mentioned you didn’t have to own a special pair of Nike+ shoes to use the cool device (they have a cavity in the sole for the transmitting device). However, let’s just say you’re one of […]

Funky Shoe Lacing Techniques

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

The techniques are shown on mostly skater shoes, but they work on anything with laces. One style […]

Used shoes? That’s right! Marty & Liz, a discount shoe store in Tennessee, sells new and slightly used shoes of all kinds for knockout prices. Brand names and funky styles are as available as your standard black pumps and flats. Be sure to head over on Thursdays, when the store receives its new batch of […]

Running with iTunes

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

If you own an iPod Nano and fancy yourself a runner (or want to be), consider getting the Nike+iPod kit from Apple. This kit is designed to help track your running distance and pace while motivating you with your favorite tunes and real-time feedback (a female or male voice that encourages you during your run).

Top 5 Online Shoe Stores

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

Ok, maybe they’re not the Top 5 of all time, but these stores are just a few of the many you should hit when considering an online footwear purchase. Have fun, and remember that since shoes require an individual fit and often vary in size from manufacturer to manufacturer, understanding the store’s return policy is […]

Summer Wedding Guide

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

If it’s June, it must be wedding season, and your invitations are probably already stacking up in the mail. No one wants to miss a wedding, but with summer airfares, gas prices, and hotel fees (not to mention the gifts!), it can get a bit expensive. To make sure you look fabulous at each event […]

Shoes That Grow With Your Child

Monday, June 11th, 2007

Attention all parents! Your days of buying new shoes every few weeks for your little tykes is over. Forget worrying that you’re crunching their tiny toes. With INCHworm shoes, the shoe grows with your child’s foot! The technology in this footwear allows it to morph into three consecutive sizes. For example, an 11-12 INCHworm […]
