How to walk during in high heels – Fashion Week
[-so how do you walk in those heels ladies?-]
Russian model Anastassia Khokissova runs an online high-heel ‘boot camp’ for fellow models to help them look elegant when walking down fashion week catwalks.
Here is a video (amongst many) on how to walk in those high heels. I have seen some women walk in heels and wondered why wear them and end up walking like something is wrong with your legs? And ladies, they do the how to walk down the stairs bit too.
You may want to also check out High Heel boot camp where things get… interesting…
Already Dirty Sneakers: Golden Goose Laid A Ready To Wear Egg… and it will cost you
(don’t have to worry about them getting dirty)
So the question of the day is would you buy a pair of sneakers that is already dirty? What if it was a boot, would you do it? How about a Nike Dunk, would you get it? Its an interesting concept and it was so good that it sold out in the one online store I have seen for it. I have no idea how much it originally cost but considering the “already worn” boots from Golden Goose being $1,000+ dollars I am sure it wasn’t cheep.
Ready to wear… the new thing in the foowear industry? If the ones above don’t float you boat, try these… and yes the price of entry is not at the low end. And you thought the Nike Air Yeezy was expensive lol
Diggin In The Sneaker Crates: Kim Kardashian Tosses Sneakers
[Kim Kardashian throwing sneakers and shoes... girl give me a call lol]
Many moons ago (back in January) Kim did a solid by tossing out sneakers to the crowd. A shoe showing contest… sounds like a good idea to me.
Just diggin in thos sneaker crates… January 2009
For The Grown And Sexy: Mary Poppins Open Toe Boot
(if you have to ask the price… well, you know the rest)
On Sale: Nike Men’s LunarGlide+ at Finishline
(it almost looks like a normal sneakers… for $99.99)
This sneaker is just freaking intriguing. I have always wondered if this “lunar” technology would actually come in a sneaker that would look good. I did not like the first lunar sneakers (although I did try it on and it was rather comfy) due to the fact that in any size about 10 (I am a size 12) looks like a boat.
Now look at it! This just looks like something that regualr people would wear who may not know of all the tech that goes behind it. In fact I have already seen this particular sneaker 2 times this week verses NO TIME for the lunar space boat of previous generations.
I think I would love to try a pair and in fact this is one of the sneakers on my top ten sneaker list that I am working on (and yes I am doing a list for shoes as well)
Details…
On Sale: Cole Haan Zoom Flywire at Zappos
(flywire on a NON-Nike sneaker? what the…)
(close-up of sneakers and yes you can almost see-through it)
Here we go again! Cole Haan has another shoe (amongst many apparently) that have Nike technology in them. I think this is one of a couple of pushes to get what is used in sneakers to be put in shoes (Rockport at one time used Reebok DMX technology). Can you imagine using comfort technology that is usually put into performance sneakers and put them into casual shoes and high heels?
Finally.
On Sale: Rocawear Zig at Zappos
(a nice style for the lades to rock)
For $59.99 you can get these Rocawear kicks for your feet. They look different – I will give them that – and come in 4 different colorways. I think the ladies can make this work though. Sizes 5 – 11 left on Zappos as of today.
On Sale: Cole Haan Air Caprice Strap at Zappos
(a high heel that is ACTUALLY comfortable?)
(all yours for$ 201USD)
I have been wondering for a while since I decided to cover sneakers and shoes culture and products, why don’t high heels have technology like adidas or Nike when it comes to cushioned support?
Why do the ladies have to buy something from Doctor Scholls or Rite-Aid brand cushions or whatever else is out there to protect your feet? Why not have air or some special zoom tech to cushion the female foot in these 6 inch monsters?
Looking at many of the more expensive shoes for women, they almost never talk about comfort or any technology that makes them a little bit more comfortable.
Then Cole Haan steps into the high heel debate and gives the ladies something more comfortable.
Here are the details from Zappos:
- Get stand-out style from these amazing wedges.
- Patent leather, metallic leather or combination snake-embossed leather and canvas upper.
- Leather lining.
- Padded footbed.
- NIKE AIR Technology in the heel and forefoot for added comfort.
- 3/4″ platform with stitch detailing.
- Textured rubber sole.
I have heard from a couple of people on Twitter that these are pretty comfortable. The reviews on Zappos are not very telling but for the 4 who did review it, out of 5 stars they get 4.
Sizes 5 – 11 in womens are still available and will drain your wallet at around 201 USD.
If you bought these and like them (or don’t like them) please comment.
One Womans Shoe Collection
(did you catch all the names and stores?)
Sales, whats comfortable and lots of store name drops. I am sure most ladies already know this, but hey I figured I post it anyway. Was looking for video and opinions on Cole Haan shoes. I was told by one person on Twitter than they are quite comfortable so it may be an option for those women who are tired of the hard shoe heel feel.

PS
If you have a video of your shoe or sneaker collection, add a link here and I will be sure to pick the best and post it online. when you make the video try to also put as much info as possible in the Youtube info area.
In the future there will be contests so get your shoe game (and sneaker game) on!
adidas SLVR Collection is pretty interesting
(do you think you can work this look?)
This is an interesting looking sneaker/shoe/high heel for the ladies. Its sort of a big mix of all 3 and I am not sure if it does it well (probably need to see it in person), but it sure is a looker and you WILL get attention to your feet wearing them; no question. I think the lady wearing these will do well to get something to match for sure. This is one high heeled sneaker that DEMANDS you to dress for them and not the otherway around.
Here is a quote from Sneaker Freaker about this sneaker and the collection:
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 and ultimately wearable’ which, given prices for the footwear are all under €130, seems fair enough. 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 and zero stripes. The only indication of a maker’s mark are three horizontal bars. There’s also tote bags, socks and a line of classically basic clothing that
has a slight sport tinge to it, and even SLVR flip flops.
Tote bags, flip flops, low cost aka affordable (well lower cost than high end 200+ dollar sneakers) and only those in the know will actually know your footwear is from adidas.

Fergalisious… A Footwear Line for Fergie… why? just because
(holy crap how did I miss this?)
Somewhere and somehow Fergie of Black Eye peas came out with a shoe line???? She got sneaker, shoes and what looks like flip-flops. Will celebrities and fashion lines ever stop? probably not. I am sure this news came out a minute ago but I have been mostly focused on sneakers for a minute now. But still, I am not really sure how this one slipped through my fingers.
(it just gets more interesting…)
She seems to have some very interesting shoes for sale. I can’t knock it cause they are attractive and THEY ARE NOT TOO EXPENSIVE. Many shoes are priced in the 99.99 range. A good look for those who want fashion but don’t have 300+ dollars for womens shoes (and guys complaining about Kayne West LV kicks? lol)

Sizes 6.5 to 10 are left currently as I write this. if you like Steve Madden ladies, then give this a look (oh and ladies, sorry I have been ignoring your shoes so much as of late… but I have learned my lesson… expect more womens shoe and sneaker news as well as stuff on sale across the net).

Looks Like Finishline Stepped Its Game Up: Updated Website
(looks like we got ourselves a updated site)
While browsing the net for new sneakers and shoes on sale, I headed to FinishLine (as usual) and noticed that the site got updated just a touch. It now features a slide show of featured items, links to your favorite sneaker lines, and tags to your, ou guessed it, favorite sneaker lines as well as specific sneakers or shoes on sale.
And a nice touch, some footwear companies get a special landing page (sometimes I hate that because I want to go directly to the sneakers) that actually looks good and is useful. Reeboks landing page (when you click on the category tag REEBOK) actually has info on it I want to see and they CLEARLY mark where I can click to get to the kicks I want to see (or all the kicks they have at Finishline)
Shape-Changing Shoe Design Grows as Your Feet Grow
(why not have a shoe tht shape changes??? lol)
I Have Such a backlog in sneaker and shoe posts that its crazy! While browsing the net in search of some cool kicks to post about, I find these bad boys on Dornob.com
What is it called, you ask? Inchworm.
Sneaker News:Dangling Sneakers and Shoes On A Fence = Economic Woes
I, like most people in the US, have felt the sting of the current economicmess. Maybe not as bad as other people have had (like loosing their home or job) but nevertheless I too have felt some impact.
As I was browsing for news stories on sneakers or shoes, I came across this news story about the loss of funding for a charity that runs a shelter for domestic violence victims due to the tightening of funds for non-profits like these.
Linda Healy, the executive director of the shelter, says that the cut is so high, that they will be forced to close the shelter.
Here is a quote from the article:
Dozens of shoes dangle from a wrought-iron fence surrounding a 19th century mansion for battered women and children, which plans to close its doors on July 1.
The flip-flops, tiny pink baby sneakers and crutches are token reminders of those once served by the Mutual Ground Inc shelter, which last year housed 400 people but is now another victim of the crisis in U.S. social services amid a deep recession.
“If somebody dies, I’m not going to have it on my head,” said Linda Healy, executive director of the nonprofit agency that runs the shelter in Aurora, a Chicago suburb where domestic violence is the third-most reported crime.

It’s a different take on the idea of hanging your shoes on a phone wire or on a tree. It takes on a different meaning depending on where you go. Here, though, it represents the lives effected by the economic mess.
La La Loves Her Shoes
Ok ladies, I have been ignoring your shoes for too long. Mad stuff has come out already but I didn’t say a word. Hopefully that will change in the next week. But to hold you over I do have some shoe news for the ladies. La La is a Twitter fiend! She posts on more stuff than you probably want to know. While I was looking for this Pink Range Rover she wanted to sell on eBay on her TwitPic profile, I cam across these pics of her shoes. (more…)
