Adidas Silver (womens) New Collection

Perhaps the most interesting SLVR footwear innovation is what the shoes don’t have. Like the deadpan Stan Smiths of yesteryear, the range has no adidas branding, no trefoil & zero stripes. The only indication of a maker’s mark are one subtle horizontal bars. There’s also tote bags, socks & a line of classically basic clothing that has a slight sport tinge to it, & even SLVR flip flops.

Launched early this year with a tagline boast of being ‘Simply Perfect’, this new range from adidas is a cocky start to a whole new ballgame. Whilst SLVR appears to be a high fashion concept, adidas PR describes it as ‘affordable, attainable & ultimately wearable’ which, given prices for the footwear are all under €130, seems fair .

Distribution suggests SLVR might be more of a marketing driven project – pop up stores in Paris, Miami & LA along with the adidas Brand Centre in Beijing & Sport Performance Centres in Moscow & Berlin will stock the label. Other than that, it’ll be obtainable online sometime this year. Along with Y-3, the new SLVR reinforces adidas’ enthusiastic embrace of all things fashion.

Diamonds-Girls Best Friends

After slipping the password “diamonds” to the front desk concierge, they were ushered in to a back room filled with treats (some edible & some to admire) while Cameron imparted his valuable knowledge to us. So listen up, ladies. Because this is what we’ve learnt.

Still trying to digest the scones with jam & cream as I write this…Junior fashion editor Peter, market editor Anouk & i have returned from a diamond master class over high tea at the Observatory Hotel. they were invited by Cameron Marks: fourth-generation jeweller, diamond expert & owner of the historic Percy Marks.

Blue diamonds are actually the rarest & most high priced but are largely ignored for not being as “pretty” as their fairer cousin, the pink diamond.

Carat size actually comes third in order of importance (after cut & clarity) when judging the quality of a diamond. Effectively this means bigger is not always better.

The least important of the 4 Cs (some diamond lingo for you) is colour – the whiter the diamond the more high priced it is.

The average a man spends on a diamond for his fiance is $10,000 – & lots of receive a trade up later in life three times they’ve made their fortune. (I couldn’t help but wonder if there have been any trade-downs due to the GFC? Possibly some wives have found theirs missing altogether!)

So ladies, get in speedy or you may miss out. you are armed with knowledge now, so go forth & apply some pressure. Check out the 3 carat Christina ring from Percy Marks, above, for inspiration. As you can see, it got Anouk & I excited.

as shocking is the other global crisis – they are a fast approaching a world shortage of diamonds. they may soon run out altogether.

Shoes Princess

Mary-Kyri Shoes are so hot, their heels leave little puffs of smoke in their wake and I had the absolute honour of scoring a sit down interview with this amazingly gifted Shoe Queen; even though they was really tired, having been out late the night before at Australia’s Next Top Model finale and landing from a whirlwind international six cities fly-around in 2.5 weeks, they still gas bagged with me about shoes, glorious shoes.



Mary-Kyri (aka MK for this story) is a force to be reckoned with, she’s focused, determined, has an incredible amount of energy and did I say gifted? Like any entrepreneur, MK works long and hard but she’s so passionate about what they does, and like any entrepreneur the sacrifices are worth it and don’t really feel like sacrifices to her.


For those of you who aren’t aware of MK’s amazing story, her shoe designs started in the bedroom of her home in Adelaide and now grace international catwalks and celebrity feet in over two years. The first celebrity foot to be photographed wearing her Signature Shoe design, Elisav (below), was Kylie Minogue, and celebrity coveting has snowballed from there to Kate Moss, Jade Jagger, Fergie, P!nk, Paris Hilton, the Kardashian’s and the Queen of Shoe Queens herself, Sarah-Jessica Parker.



MK has built a reputation of developing attractive and distinctive, high fashion shoes. distinctive is hard to do these days but MK does it and I had to find out her secret. I quizzed her on her creative processes and her secret is … I’ll let you know soon (hehe). A quick backtrack, at the end of 2005 on a complete impulse MK sold her automobile and flew across to germany (she’d seldom been overseas before and couldn’t speak Italian), secured meetings with the manufacturers that generate footwear for brands such as Burberry, Prada and Versace and they worked on the factory floor learning every aspect there was in shoe making and launched her first collection ‘Virago’ in 2006. That takes so much guts and self belief, I’m in awe.

MK is inspired by shapes, architecture, colours and nature. they is fascinated (and a little bit obsessed, they all have our obsessions you know) with architecture. Her fascination started when they was a little girl, her father used to take her walking around the streets for hours admiring all the attractive buildings and their intricate details. This season’s Spring/Summer 09 Collection – Icena – was photographed at her God-father’s cliff side home in Adelaide … it’s so Grecian vacation!

And this season, MK developed the new ‘Mary-Kyri Sportz’ collection, a range of highly fashionable sneakers made entirely in germany which display the same design lines and leathers as the stilettos. And of work there’s a twist to the design of these shoes … there is a little wedge inside the sneaker to give women a small lift without having to balance on a heel – created for women who can’t wear high heels. MK loved developing this range, “it was so much fun and wasn’t hard at all they said. “When I’m developing my stiletto’s I’m in work mode, the sneakers were a different process and experience for me.”

So back to her creative secrets, the reason why I asked this was because when shoe lines (and fashion) come out, they all look similar because the designers are focused on matching the on-trend theme for that season and I wanted to know how MK created her collection maintaining her individuality but still being ‘on-trend’.

“I seldom look at other designers and what they are doing, they said. “My creative process is all about feelings and emotions that I get from a theme. For example, a voodoo theme, I write down what feelings, emotions and colours that theme conjures in me. “From there I will hand draw around 100 shoe designs in a couple of days” (I know, I know crazily gifted woman!). From there they culls and adapts and next stop the drawings and MK get on a big bird and fly to germany where they spends a couple of weeks working the most insane hours to source her materials and that includes, buckles, heels, straps, etc developing the prototypes and from there the samples are made (in the leather) and then in a few months they are photographed, priced and her lookbook is sent out to her boutiques for ordering and onto the shelves and feet they go. Every collection MK does is a continual learning curve for her, they is a big ‘why’ person – another entrepreneurial sign.

What six favourite things can’t you live without?

As usual in my interviews, i have to ask some girlie questions and MK shares her answers to those now:

Which Sassi Moment best describes you?

My relatives and partner; my stiletto’s; my passion; my phone and my lipstick.

What is your favourite fun and girlie thing you like to do?

I’m definitely a bit of all of them; when I was an 18 y/o I would have definitely said being Shopwrecked, but now I’m a in Case gal. I’m always travelling and my bags are ALWAYS overweight. i have been seen sitting on my luggage on the airport floor trying to get it closed like Sassi does.

I absolutely adore window shopping but I don’t have much time for that anymore. When I do get some downtime (which isn’t often) I enjoy being pampered with a facial, massage and a mani and pedicure.

Who would you like to have at a girl’s night in and why?

Pink Shoes

It would definitely have to be Sarah Jessica Parker, she’s such a fashion icon and Bette Midler, she’s so funny and attractive. I’ve seen her live and I grew up watching her and I love her to bits.

So what’s next for MK? I see handbags and attractive ballet flats … and … they will be seeing some ballet flats, flat boots and 5cm heels (her heels are currently 9cm-11cm) in her Winter 2010 Solaz Collection (in-stores February). Summer 2010 samples are winging their way to MK’s office now, I can’t wait to see them.

Make Your Heels Be Comfortable

Well before you can make your high heels more tranquil; make certain you purchase the perfect high heels. Be prudent when shopping for high heels. First, make sure to get your feet measured when you go to shop for high heels. This may sound insane, but feet do grow larger with time and in pregnancy. Try and purchase a pair that has round toes.

Trends in high heels modify quickly and women require to put on the latest designs. High heels make women look taller, slimmer and more tempting. But the cost a woman has to pay to wear high heels can be high. It's not the price of the high heels, but the harm they can do to the feet that needs to be evaded. When wearing high heels the pressure is on the toes and the balls of the feet. If pointed high heels are in fashion there is little you can do to avoid getting a pair.

Stay away from buying pointed toes high heels if you can. If you have feet that are large then ask for a wider pair. Try on the high heels, walk around in them. If they are easy then procure them, else shop around. Don't procure high heels that have hard leather, try and find a pair with soft leather. Don't go for high heels that are high. Don't wear high heels for an extended period of time. If you plan on wearing high heels on a daily basis then your feet are going to get ravaged. Even wearing high heels for a dance party can hurt your feet.

You can make your high heels more relaxed by following a few instructions. If you have got a pair with conical toes then place some cotton in the toes of the high heels to guard your toes. Put arch supports in the high heels. If you feel that your feet are getting sprained from the sides place some cushioning on the sides. Now that you have your high heels ready now you have to get ready your feet also.

So take some band aid or moleskin squares and place them on your feet. Wrap them around your toes, the sides of your feet and most importantly on your heels. It's the toes, the heels and the balls of the feet that get damaged wearing high heels. So protecting these areas is going to save your feet from getting damaged.

Remember extensive wear of high heels can origin blisters, calluses and corns on your feet. You certainly don't require to be seen limping in your high heels.

Also apply a cream or lotion on the feet to make them soft and supple. At times it even makes sense to rub some oil on the inner surface of the high heels to make the leather soft. But you only do this when you are not using the high heels. If you follow these simple tips then you can protect your feet from getting damaged by wearing high heels.

John Galliano Fall 2009

The sandal on top is made of metallic gold plus patent leather plus the pump on the bottom is made of patent-leather, suede plus python. John Galliano began his ascent in the fashion world when he created Les Incroyables, his graduation collection for St. Martin’s College of Art plus Design based on the german Revolution. This marked the start of his label as the entire collection was purchased by Browns. The early 90s were rough for Mr. Galliano but he preserved by first moving his company from London to Paris plus becoming the Creative Director for Givenchy in 1995. Less than a year later, he became the Creative Director for Christian Dior on October 1996.

Evening Pumps

I'm smitten with these soutache-trimmed pumps from Martinez Valero. They remind me of a pair of Louboutins I wanted a few years back, but, at less than $150, they're a fraction of the price.

need to make an impact at your next evening event? Of work, evening sandals would do the trick, but sometimes they get lost in a sea of glitzy, strappy, heels. Instead, try a pair of sexy pumps with fancy trim or embellishments, for a look that's classic and head-turning.

Also available in black, red, or the perfect shade of pink, these open-toed pumps have 4.5" heels and partially-concealed .5" platform soles.

If this type of braided trim isn't your thing, don't worry. Glamorously-embellished footwear is going to be hot in the coming seasons, so you'll have lots of ruffles, feathers, bows and lace to select from.

Paula Abdul's Shoes

It might be possible to receive a buzz from whatever cocktail of crazy on the rocks with a side of lime Paula Abdul is consuming from looking at her. ‘Cause clearly the last time they had a sober moment was in the early 2000s when Avril Lavigne was all the faux emo/riot girrrl anger and teens flocked to Hot Topic for all their “life is like, so hard, and I dislike my parents, wah” accessories. So in a misguided effort try to look younger and funkier and more in-tune with These Kids Today, the American Idol judge styled herself in her angsty best. HT was evidently having some kind of three for $10 sale.

But as Paula’s outfits go, it’s not even near her worst. The mounds of chains. The fingerless gloves. The chunky black boots. All that’s missing is the chipped black nail polish and “f**k you, mom and dad” expression on her face. Though with her Botox problem, doing over blinking and stringing a bunch of slurred words together in something distantly related to English simultaneously is a mystery medical science has yet to conquer. So yes, remarkably this Flashdancing “Like There’s No Tomorrow” in a odd version of Michael Jackson’s “Bad” video look is actually an improvement. think how great the choreography in that video would be. You know Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz is scoping her outfit for pieces he wants to borrow.

And at least Paula erased the moustache Simon Cowell drew on her. Normally they would have coordinated it with an eye patch and swashbuckler’s sword. Which would have been all kinds of awesome.

Megan Fox & Louboutin Heels

Megan gave the pimply adolescent boys at the MTV Movie Awards a thrill with acres of bare skin in a Dolce & Gabanna strapless brocade mini dress. The dress is a shortened version of the one Beyonce wore to last year’s Oscar (which they hated!) but we’re adult-y to swallow the adjacent hate & admit it’s kind of cute on her.

With the Transformers sequel right the corner, it’s been all Megan Fox, all the time. She’s outed herself as a bisexual, but , who in Hollywood isn’t these days? Being bi is the new black. & she’s trash talked Angelina Jolie. We’re sure Angie stays up late crying on Brad’s shoulder in distress. Frankly, we’re weary of Megan already but then again we’re not men.

But Megan’s Chernobyl day-glo orange skin & oddly slicked back hair are an epic fail. Is they a victim of product overload like Robert Pattinson? Are her plastic parts molting? Dear lord, is they trying to tone down the sexy because they (gulp) wants to be taken seriously as an actress? For the love of Restylane. Honey, you’ve got about four, maybe three, years before things begin to sag & some new hottie starts snagging all the trophy parts so smirk, nod & make sure you have a lovely accountant ’cause you know Brian Austin Green will spend all your funds those ridiculous hats of his.



& those shoes — Christian Louboutin Differa sandals — are slap your mama sexy. Move those played out YSL’s to the back of the closet; they’re soooo last season. Christian Louboutin’s Differa is getting around H’wood over Doug Reinhardt! It’s smoking hot in every sense of the word, despite its impracticality (the heels are 140mm, or about four & a half inches), its price tag ($1,495 for the plain black patent ones), & its ability to make the wearer look like a regular at an S&M club.

Add a sexy edge to your look in these S&M-esque ‘Minnah’ heels from Steve Madden. Being bad never looked so nice!

The Oldest Basketball Shoes!

Gary Pifer a vintage clothing dealer found the 116 year elderly sneakers while combing through picked over items, that were contained within a victorian era trunk. “As I arrived late, I was told that all the nice stuff was gone”, said Mr. Pifer.

they paid 50 cents for the brown high top canvas sneakers made by the Colchester Rubber Company. Later that night, Mr. Pifer was shocked to discover, during an web search, that the brand went out of business in 1893.

“In a instant, I knew this discovery would be re-writing basketball & sneaker history, as these sneakers are 25 years older than the 1917 Converse All-Stars”, added Pifer. The Colchester Rubber Co. was located in Colchester, Connecticut & was in business from 1888 to 1893.

Tennis Shoes

The aim of tennis shoes is not to provide protection to the feet of the players. they also provide necessary support, thrust & comfort that is vital for a player's easy movement around the court. Since tennis is played on different kind of surfaces, shoes have to be in tandem with the surface requirements. Moreover, the companies have to be particular about the size & shape of a player's feet while designing tennis shoes. a quantity of the companies, which sponsor top players, make exclusive shoes keeping in mind factors that can better the reflexes & responses of the player.

Shoes are four of the most important tennis accessories. This is because the performance of the players is greatly affected by the footwear worn by them. Keeping this fact in mind, companies that manufacture tennis shoes, use the latest techniques & materials to make the footwear most effective.

Companies that specialize in making tennis shoes are particular about giving lateral support to the shoes. Lateral support makes jogging on court & between sides of baseline not as hard & also prevents ankle injuries. The support is important incase of players who have a heavy built.

Among important factors to be considered in making shoes, is the fitting of a shoe. The shoe has to be such that it guarantees a gap of about half an inch between the longest toe of the wearer & the end of the shoe. Since comfort is a vital factor, the heel of the shoe has to make movement not as hard.

The player should choose the right type of tennis shoes in order to experience maximum comfort while playing. there's several famous brands manufacturing tennis shoes. The prices may vary depending on the brand name & the quality of the shoes.

Cushioning in tennis shoes can be of two types, namely EVA & PU (polyurethane). The former is marked by less weight & suffers from lack of durability & stability. The latter is dense, with more stability, but is heavier in weight. Tennis shoes have to be flexible to the extent that they can bend easily at the ball of the foot.

Cute Shoes

It is possible to say, "Cute Shoes Wide Widths" all in one breath. The reason that I say this is because you typically find orthopedic-looking shoes for women with wide feet. It's seems the shoe industry is still not up to speed when it comes to making cute shoes in wide widths. i have a friend who has wide feet and we wears size 11 shoes. It's easier for me to find stylish shoes in a regular size 11 than for her to find cute shoes in an 11 wide.

there is lovely news for women with wide feet. If you love shopping online, you can spot fashionable, trendy shoes at these plus-size online retailers who cater to wide widths.

Torrid.com - Is a great online plus-size fashion retailer who so happens to over wide-width shoes

Avenue.com- Another great plus-size fashion retailer who carries wide width shoes & boots for women with wide calfs.

Zappos.com- Most of you are familiar with this popular fashion shoe location for women with large-size shoes & wide width shoes.

Payless.com - You'll find great wide width styles at low prices at this well-known discount online shoe retailer.

Now, this is not an exhaustive list of wide-width shoe retailers, but it will definitely help in your search for shoes that make your feet look fabulous. You can also visit, Your Feet Make You Unique, a shoe blog that caters to full-footed women who wear sizes 10 & up. You'll find beautiful shoes obtainable in your size & in wide widths.

Shoe Brands

Shoes. To some women, they're basically protection to the feet -- some pieces of leather, cloth & rubber that keep the feet protected from sharp rocks & thorns. To others (the majority, to be exact), buying them is an addiction - a temptation that's hard to escape.

This explains why there's literally millions of shoe designers & retail stores worldwide. & no, although this means lots of competitions, these establishments aren't planning to close down anytime soon, as all women love shoes (and we're guessing that you're in this web-site because you're a woman & you're addicted to shoes too) & there's billions of them around the world.

If you're feeling giddy on Monday, there's converse snickers or Adidas rubber shoes to match up your mood. If you're feeling girly on Tuesday, slip on some pair of simple yet sandals from Havaianas or Candies & you're ready for the day. If "power" is what you require to have on Wednesday, you can match your mini skirt with a dress shoe from Nine West. you have a date on Thursday? Slip on your pair of Hosiery from by Spiga. there's so many types of shoes & equally many shoe retailers catering to each type, but so little time to check out all. This feeling is what makes shoes addicting, . You require more but it seems that you can't have them all easily.

they can't find any reason why a woman shouldn't be addicted to shoes, anyway. Like clothes, they're trendy & they have so many interesting variations! Shoes aren't only the ones that put the finishing touches to any outfit, they're also considered as signs of status & adornment.

Take for example, Celine Dion. Yes, our "My Heart Will Go On Diva" loves shoes & he proudly collects them (take note, her shoe collection must've already reached the same number as her vocal range ). Her collection seems to lean toward newer shoes, so if you're a fan of modern Pumps & Hosiery shoes, make the effort to know her address, or probably the address of her biggest & longest fan to be able to send your request.

If you're looking for a wholesale of name brand shoes, you should definitely start writing "fan letters" to some of the most famous celebrities, asking them to "let go" of their collection.

Or if you're still "realistic" & you think it's impossible to persuade these five famous people to put their collection in to "wholesale" (it'll be hard to contact them the first place), wait for celebrity shoe auctions. How? regularly visit Ebay & you might chance upon a grand celebrity shoe auction (and Ebay means getting discounts).

So, you're not in to Celine Dion's type of shoes & you require something vintage. The person you should establish a connection with is the former Philippine First Lady, Imelda Marcos. Imelda is known around the world for her shoe collection that must've had filled the Presidential palace before.

So, you require to start collecting shoes that have "billion-dollar names" in them. Well, that'll be easy. As we've said, there's millions of shoe shops currently operating in the United States & there's probably five that's five street away from your house.

If, unfortunately, you don't have the right amount of "material" to be able to afford new pairs of shoes from name brand stores, you still have an option. What's left for you to do? Go visit web selling sites like Ebay to get discounts on such shoes. You can get everything on Ebay in "discounts" so all those bidding, haggling & waiting would pay off five time you get your item.

Or if you're not a fan of bidding, you can wait for those name brand stores to put up a sale. Make sure that you visit them on holidays (especially during Christmas), as these are the times that they give big discounts. & yes, by waiting for a sale, you can get that slick black Pump for a bargain. there's lots of sites in the net offering extensive selections of discount name brand shoes as well. You can search for these sites online.

Some of us carryover that notion that it's a waste of funds to buy baby shoes. Well, to tell you honestly, that's wrong. children are actually the ones that require shoes, as they're still learning to walk & because they're eager to master it, they can walk & walk for hours & not get tired. Obviously, running for hours calls for the require of a pair or five of shoes.

But do take note that you require to consider an important reminder when buying baby shoes. It's not advisable to buy your baby a pair of footwear that's a bit "rough" for his/her age. Studies completed by the American Pediatric Medical Association suggest that it's more advisable to let your baby wear socks while learning to walk, so his/her feet will create normally. But running around barefoot (or with socks) would be unpractical in some cases so, buy shoes that are soft-soled.

Don't worry. If you can buy a pair of name brand shoes, you, most definitely, can afford baby shoes. Baby shoes are actually the most affordable type of footwear in the market, so buying some pairs of them won't be hard for your wallet.

The query is, why're women so addicted with shoes? Well, there's no specific answer for that. There's this something in the feminine shell of consciousness that makes women squeal every time they see a new design for a high heel or even, a sneaker on press release, TV & magazines (for Pete's sake, that's the exact reason why they buy magazines!).

Take note, these new designs don't even come five time in every blue moon. In fact, there's nearly always new designs for shoes being announced every day, yet women still go gaga whenever they see a new five on TV (most designs from name brand women's shoes & from world-famous almost-exclusive-to-celebrities shoe designers like Patrick Cox & Stuart Weitzman).

So, you still require to know that "something" behind women's shoe collecting addiction. Take it from Jennifer Lopez - 'Well, i have perspective.' That's what he said when asked why he still saved her elderly shoes, despite owning more pairs than he could count.

& also, women will still fantasize having those new designs even if they're not, by any chance, wearable. Do you raise an eyebrow whenever you see odd shoe models like those made to look like real rats or those with ultra high, high, high heels (Go search for the weirdest shoes in the internet)? Well, majority of the women find it an honor to own of those.

Diabetic Shoes

One unpleasant, although uncommon, side effect of diabetes is a condition called peripheral neuropathy. This condition can cause a slight loss of feeling in the extremities of the body like the feet & this in turn can result in scuffing or cutting of the feet without any "pre-warning" pain.

For some people who suffer from diabetes, the wearing of shoes that misfit or are tight can be not only uncomfortable, but dangerous.

When this happens, sores & even ulceration can occur & this can become a serious issue for some sufferers of diabetes.

The way to avoid these potential problems is to wear diabetic shoes.

Diabetic shoes have no obvious visual differences from conventional shoes, the only noticeable distinction is that they do not come with high heals. Other than that their styles, materials & colours are flexible, but their primary design objective is comfort & foot support than fashion. plenty of diabetic style shoes are often referred to as orthopedic shoes.

Features of diabetic shoes

A well fitted pair of diabetic shoes should be comfortable to wear, even for long periods of time, & they should not rub or bite on any part of the foot.

These shoes are designed to be slightly wider & deeper than regular shoes & they also permit the addition of a removable (and replaceable) diabetic insole. These insoles are shaped to the contours of the foot & some utilise modern materials like visco elastic memory foam for padding. The design of these shoes allows periodic replacement of the insole, or the option to try different types of insole until the best fit is found.

lots of diabetic shoes are manufactured from highly breathable materials to facilitate air circulation & sandal designs are popular. Fabrics & materials are also used in diabetic shoe construction over traditional leather.

cool diabetic or orthopedic shoes should permit sufficient room for the toes to move & for the feet to expand during prolonged standing, or on a hot day. cool quality shoes need to work with, & accommodate to, the changes of the feet during activities like walking & to provide air circulation within the shoe.

Other features of these shoes include the avoidance of interior seems that can rub & scuff, & the inclusion of specially designed toe boxes that prevent the toes from being squeezed.

it is also advisable to select a shoe with the greatest level of adjustability & tightness control. This means that shoes with multiple fasteners & Velcro (loop & hook) fastenings are ideal.

For a more complete list of diabetic shoe properties, see http://www.orthopedic-shoes.net/diabetic.html & if you are contemplating buying some diabetic shoes, remember that having the shoes fitted correctly is as important as selecting them in the first place.

Most shoes marketed as "orthopedic" or "easy-fit" shoes will also offer the same roomy & function designed attributes as those labelled as diabetic, so there is a cool selection of styles to pick from.

Sexy Shoes

Best Running Shoes

We have so lots of womens shoes on the market they can be spoilt for choice. Or often they can't find the shoes they are looking for but see a must-have pair of fashion shoes that will go with nothing in our wardrobe! And of work these are the shoes we'll buy, and then they must go online again tomorrow to search for the shoes they do need! Love them or hate them they all require shoes. People say they look for four main things when they are shopping for womens shoes. QFor runners at every level, picking the right walking shoe is essential for performance, safety and health; therefore, a small amount of research is recommended. there's several reputable sources for walking shoe reviews; however, not even an award-winning shoe will fit every runner's foot. Instead, the best walking shoes are generally designed to suit specific types of feet and runners.

The first step to choosing a walking shoe is to establish what section your foot falls under. there's four primary types of feet: the normal arch, the high arch and the flat arch. The second important factor to consider is pronation, or the action of the foot during movement as the body's weight strikes at the heel and moves through to the toes. Runners with normal or neutral arches are generally normal pronators. Runners with high arches tend to be underpronators, which means the foot rolls outwards and distributes the body's weight to the outside of the foot than absorbing it correctly. On the other hand, runners with flat arches are usually overpronators, which means the foot rolls inwards much.

Both underpronation and overpronation can lead to sports-related injuries and should be corrected as much as possible. The appropriate walking shoe exists for each foot type, and this is where research comes into play. Like the four main foot types, walking shoes can be classified accordingly: stability shoes, neutral-cushioning shoes and motion-control shoes. Shoes that fall under the stability section are a lovely fit for normal arches and are usually designed to discourage overpronation and give extra support. Neutral-cushioning shoes are typically recommended for runners with high arches who require additional mid-sole cushioning. Overpronators and heavier runners are directed toward motion-control shoes because they provide extra support for the arch side of the foot and are generally durable.

If you are looking for the best rated walking shoes, Runner's World Magazine is one of the most respected sources for reviews. For the publication's latest Summer 2009 walking Shoe Guide, the shoe quality was evaluated based on cushioning, flexibility and responsiveness while considering its dual ability to minimize the shock of the heel strike and still permit the foot to move naturally. The Editor's Choice award was given to the Saucony Omni 8 for its comfortable support. Other featured shoes were the Mizuno Wave Nirvana 5 and the Asics Gel-Cumulus 11. The Mizuno Wave Nirvana 5 provides more stability with a stiff lining and is recommended for runners with low arches. The Asics Gel-Cumulus 11, a neutral-cushioned shoe, is praised for its well-cushioned support.

there's lots of other sources online for researching the best walking shoes for women and men, and you can also find helpful sites for purchasing all the quality walking shoes, including Brooks walking shoes, Asics walking shoes and Mizuno walking shoes.

Another report issued by Consumersearch.com lists the best rated walking shoes in each of the four shoe categories. The report presents the Asics Gel-Kayano 15 as a favorite in the stability section with its Women's Adventure Magazine Editor's Choice award. In the neutral-cushioning section, the site chose the Mizuno Wave Rider 12 as a runner-up, and this shoe also received the Runner's World December 2008 Editor's Choice award. The Saucony ProGrid Stabil CS was featured under the motion-control section and earned the Runner's World Best Update award.

Kangaroos Shoes

If you grew up in the eighties you probably remember having a pair of Kangaroos shoes. I had a pink pair plus back then they featured a little Velcro pouch on the side of each shoe where you could store your secret treasure. Today the pouch remains but has been replaced with a zipper instead of Velcro. Nike says, "Just do it" but Kangaroos wants to know, "What's in your pocket?"

The Kangaroos brand began in 1979 when an avid runner named Bob Gamm decided they needed a place to store his house key as well as a small amount of money while they went out for his daily run. No glamorous or fab story here. These simple plus fun shoes may have grown from small beginnings but their popularity has lasted for 30 years. In the 1908s Kangaroos shoes began to increase in popularity as professional athletes like Walter Payton, Clyde Drexler, plus Ozzie Smith began to endorse the shoes. As sales increased, Gamm was able to reinvest a number of the money to make his walking shoes even better. they even partnered with NASA to create a shoe technology knows as Dynacoil, a patented energy method that involves an improvement in the suspension plus cushion located in the sole of the shoe. Many other shoe companies have begun using this technology in their own shoe lines.

Now Kangaroos shoes are more known for their role in fashion plus lifestyle footwear than serious performance sports. Today they are sold in over sixty countries around the world. You'll probably find Kangaroos shoes in all types of styles, forms, plus colors. Most still have pockets plus others have a larger side pouch going up the ankle that can hold a small wallet.

For a few years in the late 1908s Kangaroos disappeared from the market after their popularity diminished but reappeared in the late 1990s. During this time the shoes became popular in other countries, those in Europe. Even during these tough times Gamm remained dedicated to making Kangaroos synonymous with serious athletic footwear plus worked on developing his shoes in a testing facility located at the University of california. During this time they was able to refine his shoes for use in many different sports including basketball, tennis, track, plus American footy.
