Below is the September, 2010 marathon schedule for events that span from the East to West Coasts.  Runners, especially marathon runners, need to pay extra attention to their feet.   The added pressure that is being applied to the heel and ball while running can cause continuously growing pain that can affect the overall of outcome of actually being able to finish a race.  Whatever shoe you choose to partner with during a marathon, take the extra step and add an insole that will cushion the impact and make running a little more comfortable.

Where's Waldo?

Drive times may vary this morning, we're seeing a little bit of traffic on the bridge

Men’s Shoes to Wear with Shorts

This is an interesting subject that, believe it or not, a lot of men suffer from.  We’re sure that at least once in your life you’ve probably been driving to work and noticed somebody (99.9% of the time its probably an older gentleman) wearing white socks and shorts, with a pair of slip on flipflops.  This look may have been “in” sometime before our time, but its definitely an expired sense of fashion.  If you know somebody, or maybe you’re one of the instigators polluting others vision by sporting the look (this is a judge free blog so don’t panic), please read this article……help is out there

Going Green

These days, going “green” is the cool thing…..and apparently the green trend is crossing over into this year’s major fashion trend.  Take a look at this article and see what awaits us all in the next coming months.

Crazy Shoe of the Week

After last week’s post about “15 Unusual and Creative Fashion Shoes”, we’re really going to try hard to award one pair of shoes with the title: “Crazy Shoe of The Week”.  Lets just say that last week’s Bird Shoes took the inagural award…..This week’s winner isn’t too hard too far behind.  Please enjoy the lovely Leopard shoes.  Notice how the Leopard is on a leash connected to the big toe.  We love the designer’s attention to detail.
