Now there is the phrase of pure genius. Indeed, whoever invented it changed the very course of haircare history.
And then, while you are thinking this important thought, the ancient memory leaps unbidden into your brain, the ancient memory involving the following bit of BASIC code:
10 LATHER
20 RINSE
30 GOTO 10
Which you immediately recognize as the example of the infinite loop your first computer science professor wrote on the board on the first day of class, lo many of these years ago.
You remember it because the girl who sat behind you whispered, “In his case this is purely theoretical,” which made you snicker because it was true. Professor Whathisname had the long stringy hair that needed the good scrubbing and styling, and perhaps the weekly blowout, because even though his hair looked dirty it was underneath sound in structure and form.
But never mind that, what is important about this memory, of the course, is that this funny girl who sat behind you turned out to be one of your all-time best friends, the person you still talk every week, even though she now lives on the other side of the country.
And now you are all cheered you up!

But, honestly, now that you think about it, May is one of the better months. The weather is pleasantly warm, there are no stressful holidays, the immediate future holds pleasant things, and your youngest children are still in the custody of the local school district, thus freeing you from having to come up with the summer recess accommodations and entertainments for them.
Of the course, if like the Manolo, you suffer from the hay fever, then May is the cruelest month, breeding mucus out of your sinuses, mixing Sudafed and nasal spray, suppressing rampant histamines.
If it is not one thing it is the other…
Strange Advertisements
But, the Manolo’s position is that the Crocs are the legal product which, if you are not riding on the escalator or wrestling alligators, pose little physical threat to humans. (Of the course, the aesthetic threat is incalculable.) And thus the Manolo the Capitalist is not opposed to taking their advertising dollars.
Much more troubling to the Manolo is the frequent reappearance of the advertisements promoting the fake designer shoes, especially the fake Christian Louboutin shoes. Indeed, for nearly two years now, the Manolo has been waging the continual war against these criminals in his comments section and his banner advertising. And yet the fake ads continue to reappear, usually with the slightly different website or name. And the Manolo must again contact Google or Glam to get them to remove the new offender.
And so you may see, there are far worse things than the Crocs, which although ugly, have the virtue of honesty. They do not pretend to be anything other than what they are, which is why the Manolo does not mind their advertisement, even if he thinks the Crocs peoples are ultimately wasting their monies.
Dia de las Madres
But, because you know that the brunch is not enough, not when you are certain that your siblings will be sending enormous bouquets of roses, and giant flowery greeting cards generously trimmed with paper lace and schmaltz.
And because you will not be outdid, you race to the CVS looking for the biggest box of Russell Stover, which is only 5 pounds, not enough to do better than your brother, Bob the Broker who will settle for nothing less than 10 pounds, but then you think “Quality, not quantity,” and opt instead for the fancy Frenchy chocolates sent direct from France (via Weehauken) where mothers are treated like Queens…right?
But then you decide to zig rather than zag, and decide that the bestest gift of all time will be slippers, elaborate golden glittery slippers like these, the Giselle from Patricia Green.

Christian Louboutin Speaks!
At the end of my school, I did a big internship at Folies Bergère, and it was very interesting because, you know, if you like high heels, the showgirls are the best to actually show how to walk, how to manage, how to practice, but also they know great tricks about things, because not only they need to look, and to be good, but also they have to not to think about it. So, it has to be very comfortable, they don’t have to think about their feet. And, you know, at the first moment when I really thought up this stupid sentence, which is ’suffering to be beautiful’, doesn’t work. You know, showgirls cannot suffer to be beautiful.
Boots For the Monday
Your children took time out from their very busy schedule of digital communication to present you with the bouquet of flowers and the card, and to accompany you to the brunch at that Italian place you like. What was truly sweet, however, was that during your celebratory brunch, they had the great good courtesy to keep their cellphones in their laps. It was so wonderful! Whenever you looked down the table you could even pretend they were praying, their heads bowed, their thumbs furiously working at perhaps their rosaries.
Less satisfying, was the appearance of your mother-in-law, Blanche, and her “old man” Jimmy, who were also present at the meal.
Blanche is the wonderful mother-in-law, the sort who is sensible enough to help when needed, but also sensible enough to keep out of your business when not. However, what is troubling, is that she appears to have dealt with widowhood by joining the motorcycle gang.
“They’re not a motorcycle gang,” answers Gary when you mentioned your fears to him last night
“Yeah, but what about his beard?,” you snap back, “and those awful biker outfits?”
“Jimmy’s alright. The dude looks like Santa Claus.”
“I’m not sure. He seems a little rough to me.” The image of two, stout, elderly people in matching red leather jackets and chaps, eating eggs benedict, still lingers.
“He’s a retired endocrinologist,” says Gary, “They ride a Honda Goldwing for God’s sake.”
But you are not placated. You are worried for Blanche’s safety, and perhaps more than the little bit jealous that she seems to be having so much fun on the other side of seventy, heading off to Big Sur while you are still chained to your desk.

Running Shoe Guide
The running shoe fit guide
Print this guide Types of running shoes Get to know your feet Just what is pronation? Determining your arch type Running shoe tips Lacing techniques Other types of athletic shoes Shop All Running Shoes Fired up for your first 5K?
You should be! Whether taking part in an organized race or jogging your own route through a sunlit city park, nothing compares to that finish-line feeling. And unlike other sports, you don’t need to spend a lot of money on fancy equipment to get started. All you really need is the will to succeed... and the right pair of running shoes.
Running is a great way to stay in shape and beat stress, but it’s also a high-impact sport. Your body absorbs shock equal to five times your weight each time your foot strikes the ground. Running shoes are made to be flexible and lightweight with cushioning to help absorb this shock. Foot types vary, though, and some runners benefit from extra cushioning, support, and stability. You’ll need to consider factors such as your arch and degree of pronation when choosing the right shoe.
Sierra Trading Post consulted Dr. Thomas Hecker, D.P.M., and Bill Michel of Runners Roost, Fort Collins, CO, to help you make an informed purchase.
“Running shoe companies spend big money trying to prevent injuries caused by biomechanical problems,” says Bill Michel. “How the shoe works with your mechanics is critical to running healthy.”
Quick Tip: Keep in mind that everyone is unique, and there is no single perfect shoe. But if you spend a little time identifying your running style, you’ll remain smiling mile after mile.
Types of Running Shoes
All running shoes are not created equal. You'll want to choose from one the following three categories according to your arch type and degree of pronation. Learn about arch type and pronation below.
Cushion shoes are the most flexible and encourage natural pronation, with added cushioning and extra shock absorption. These shoes do not have stability or motion control features. Cushions shoes are best for people with a high arch and also those with a normal arch.
Stability shoes have light support features on the medial side and well-cushioned midsoles to help guide mild-to-moderate overpronation. Stability shoes are great for feet with a moderately flat arch and for those with a normal arch.
Motion Control shoes incorporate extra stability features on the medial side to help control severe overpronation. Runners with severely flat arches need the extra support and stability of motion control shoes.
Be a Good Neighbor. Get to Know Your Feet.
In a perfect world, no one would know your feet better than you. But if you’re like most people, you haven’t been properly introduced. You should get to know your arch type and degree of pronation, both important factors when purchasing a shoe. “We see a lot of injuries resulting from poor shoe choice,” says Dr. Thomas Hecker, D.P.M. “Most people don’t know what type of running shoe is best for their foot.”
Just What Is Pronation?
Pronation is the term used to describe the normal motion of the foot rolling slightly inward through the foot strike. Pronation is essential to shock absorption and forward propulsion. It’s when you overpronate or underpronate (supinate) that you need to be particular about the running shoe you choose.
Underpronation
Neutral Pronation
Overpronation
What Kind of Pronator Are You?
The arch of your foot plays a major role in pronation. The three different arch types, normal, flat, and high, correspond to the degree of pronation you’re most likely to experience. You can get a good idea of your arch type by completing the Wet Foot Test below.
Determining Your Arch Type—Wet Foot Test
Dr. Hecker recommended the Wet Foot Test to help you determine your arch type. Just follow the steps below—it couldn’t be easier.
Wet the bottom of your foot Step onto concrete, a paper towel or any surface that will show an imprint of your foot Match imprint to one of the arch types below to determine your degree of pronation.
Note: Another way to determine arch type is to look at the outsoles of your old running shoes, although this method is less reliable than the Wet Foot Test. If the sole is worn equally on both sides, you most likely have a normal arch. If you have a flat arch, the sole will show excessive wear on the inside. A high arch usually produces a sole with noticeable wear on the outside.
Quick Tip: You cannot determine arch type by looking at the wear pattern on the heel alone, although this is a common misconception.
Normal Arch = Neutral Pronation
Notice the wear pattern is uniform and centered closer to the middle of the sole. The textured rubber is still present on both sides of the sole.
The most common arch type, the normal arch, leaves a wet print with a flare and a broad band connecting the heel and the forefoot. This foot type is a neutral pronator and rolls inward slightly to absorb shock. If you have a normal arch, you’re considered bio-mechanically efficient and don’t need motion control features. The best part about having a normal arch is that you have more freedom when picking a running shoe.
Quick Tip: If you have a normal arch, the sole of your old running shoe will be worn equally on both sides.
The shoe for you – Cushion shoes are the most flexible and encourage natural pronation, with added cushioning and extra shock absorption. These shoes do not have stability or motion control features. Or, Stability shoes have light support features on the medial side and well-cushioned midsoles to help guide mild-to-moderate overpronation. Runners with a normal arch can also benefit from light stability features.
Shop All Running / X-Training Shoes: His / Hers
Flat Arch = Overpronation
Notice the increased wear and lack of texture on the medial side (inside) as compared to the lateral side (outside), which still has the texture intact.
If you see a complete or nearly complete imprint, then you have a Flat Arch. This type of foot is associated with overpronation, or an excessive inward roll after heel strike. The flatter the arch, the more support and motion control you need. You’ll need shoes with firm midsoles, flatter soles and pronation-control features. Steer clear of highly-cushioned shoes that lack stability features.
Quick Tip: If you have a flat arch, the sole of your old running shoe will most likely show excessive wear on the inside.
The shoe for you – Stability shoes have light support features on the medial side and well-cushioned midsoles to help guide mild-to-moderate overpronation. Or, Motion Control shoes incorporate extra stability features on the medial side to help control severe overpronation. Runners with a severely flat arch are well suited for these types of shoes.
Shop All Running / X-Training Shoes: His / Hers
High Arch = Underpronation (Supination)
Notice the increased wear on the lateral side (outside) while the medial side (inside) is relatively untouched.
The least common arch type, the High Arch, will produce an imprint showing the heel and forefoot connected by only a thin band. This foot type usually doesn’t absorb shock well because it rolls outward or underpronates (also known as supinating).
Quick Tip: If you have a High Arch, the sole of your old running shoe should show excessive wear on the outside.
The shoe for you – Cushion shoes are the most flexible and encourage pronation. They incorporate extra cushioning and shock absorption, and do not have stability or motion control features.

Running Shoe Tips
By all means, size up! – While your pant size may drop, your shoe size won’t. Many runners find the best fit comes from going up at least a half size for a little extra room in the toe box. In fact, Dr. Hecker noted that many people are wearing shoes 1½ sizes too small for their feet. Aim for a thumb’s width between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Remember that your foot will expand when running. Sizing up will help you avoid black, and soon-to-be missing, toenails.
Change shoes every 4-5 months – Be afraid of commitment—running shoes are not meant to last. One of the worst things you can do is to wear worn-out shoes. If you start experiencing aches and pains, it’s time for a new pair. “Many injuries occur because a runner continued to wear a shoe after it had broken down”, says Dr. Hecker. “Most injuries can be remedied with a simple change of shoe”. Running shoes are designed to handle about 500 miles or last about 4-5 months on average. According to Dr. Hecker, the higher your arch, the faster you’ll wear out your shoes.
Rotate shoes – Go ahead, mix it up! A lot of runners choose to rotate several pairs of running shoes at the same time, even if they’re the same make and model. This helps avoid excessive wearing in any particular area and avoids irritation.
Socks matter – Boy, do they. Moisture-wicking and thermo-regulating performance socks are best for running. Cotton socks can cause blisters (not to mention swamp foot) because they don’t breathe well or effectively remove moisture.
Don’t judge a shoe by its cover – Never choose a pair of running shoes based on looks alone. You won’t care what color they are if your feet hurt.
Go mesh – Look for a running shoe with a mesh upper. Mesh breathes well and provides necessary ventilation. And like good socks, mesh also helps prevent odors that could clear a room.
Invest in quality – A trip to the doctor or physical therapist will end up costing you more (in money and discomfort) than you might have saved on an inferior pair of shoes. Put your trust in a proven brand name.
Lacing Techniques
Many people underestimate the power of proper lacing. Instead of overtightening your shoes, try these simple techniques to ensure a secure fit. “Forefoot nerves are superficial and easily damaged by shoe laces that are tied too tight,” says Dr. Hecker. Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to “lock” the laces in place.
Lock lacing for heel slippage – If you experience heel slippage, lock lacing will help. Lace the shoe normally until the lace ends emerge from the second set of eyelets. Then feed the laces up each side and into the top eyelet towards the foot. Now cross laces over, and feed each under the vertical section of the other side. Pull and tie normally.
Loop-lacing lock – This method of lacing is great to ensure a secure fit for any running shoe. After lacing, put each lace end back through the last hole to create a small loop on the top side of the shoe. Thread each loose end through the loop on the opposite side, pull and tie to create a tight closure.
High-instep lacing – If you have a high instep, this lacing technique might make you more comfortable. Start with normal lacing at the bottom, then feed the laces up each side of the shoe and cease to criss-cross. Once at the top, continue the criss-cross technique and tie for a secure closure.
Wide forefoot lacing – If you have a wide forefoot, consider buying shoes especially designed for this issue. You can also try this simple technique. Begin by feeding the laces up each side of the shoe and only use the criss-crossing technique towards the top. Tie for a secure closure.

Sierra Trading Post offers many different brands of top-quality running shoes in different styles and with various features. While comfort and fit are the most important things to consider, you should also consider your mileage, experience and the terrain you’ll be running on. Consult a podiatrist or your local running store if you have concerns or problems identifying the right shoe.

How to Choose Bike Shoes Expert Advice from REI
How to Choose Bike Shoes
You can ride a bike in just about any shoes, but anyone who rides regularly can benefit from shoes designed specifically for bicycling. Shoes compatible with "clipless" pedal systems are a logical step up if you seek greater cycling efficiency. This article discusses your bike shoe options.
Why Bike Shoes?
If you ride using flat (platform) pedals, you've no doubt seen riders zipping by you with their feet firmly anchored to their pedals and wondered if that might be a wise choice for you. Fear not, bike shoes and clipless pedals are part of a natural progression to make your riding more efficient and less tiring.
Compared to typical athletic shoes, cycling shoes are designed with stiffer soles to provide more efficient energy transfer as you pedal away. These stiff soles provide other benefits, too. They protect your feet while riding and support the full length of your feet to reduce cramping and fatigue. The uppers are also relatively rigid for extra support.
Cycling shoes are usually paired with a compatible pedal to hold your feet securely on the bicycle. The so-called clipless shoe-pedal combination offers unmatched control with a minimum amount of your pedaling energy lost before it reaches the rear wheel.
Quick Overview
In a hurry? Here's an overview of the most popular shoe-pedal attributes:
Road Biking Mountain Biking, Casual
or Touring Outsole type Smooth Lugged Outsole rigidity Very stiff Stiff Cleat style Protrudes from sole Recessed into sole Clipless pedal style 3-hole (Look style) 2-hole (SPD style)
For a closer look at your options, read on.
Types of Bike Shoes
If you're considering clipless pedaling but are unsure where to start, don't worry. Your choices can be quickly paired down by the type of riding you intend to do. We cover shoe shopping in this article, but you may want to shop for pedals first (see our Q&A discussion below for more information).
For pedal information, see the REI Expert Advice article on How to Choose Bike Pedals.
Casual (Sport) Riding Shoes
If you ride casually (say, 5 miles or less) and walking comfort off the bicycle is your primary concern, you may not need a cycling-specific shoe at all. Consider a light hiking shoe or outdoor cross-trainer instead. While they don't offer stiffness in the sole or work with a clipless pedal system, they can be used with platform pedals outfitted with toe clips or straps.
An emerging category is the so-called hybrid cycling/casual footwear. These look like casual shoes (or even sandals) and allow easy walking, but their soles offer compatibility with clipless pedal systems. This versatile style is a great option for the casual rider or bike commuter.
Shop REI's selection of men's fitness footwear and women's fitness footwear.
Mountain Biking Shoes
These shoes have a fairly stiff sole for efficient pedaling, but one with enough flex and a rubber-lug outsole to allow good traction for walking on slick or rugged rails. They offer a lacing or hook-and-loop strap system (such as Velcro? brand closures) to adjust the fit of the shoe and offer a bit of protection for your toes.
As you move up in price, you get features such as stiffer soles, lighter weight, enhanced foot and/or ankle protection, waterproof liners, additional hook-and-loop straps or a buckle-and-ratchet-type strap for an improved fit and foot security. Some shoes also offer removable toe spikes for the ultimate in traction when dismounting your bike.
Clipless mountain-bike shoes use the 2-hole cleat system, described below, so you'll want to match it up with a compatible pedal. Check the "specs" tab on REI.com product pages to make sure the shoes you are considering can mount the proper clipless cleat.
Some mountain bike shoes have a flat sole and cannot mount cleats. These styles are meant specifically for use with platform pedals (and optional toe clips).
Shop REI's selection of men's mountain-bike shoes and women's mountain-bike shoes.
Road Cycling Shoes
Road-biking shoes are distinguished by their exceptionally stiff soles to facilitate power transfer to your pedals. Road shoes and cleats are not designed for extended walking and therefore do not have much in the way of traction on the sole. They are uncomfortable to walk in over longer distances due to their inability to flex. This is a performance feature and is done to create the most efficient power transfer possible while on the bike.
Virtually all road shoes offer lightweight construction and good ventilation. As you look at higher-priced models, materials such as carbon fiber are used to further increase sole rigidity and fit systems allow greater customization. On many styles, a small rubber pad on the heel provides the only traction.
Most clipless road-bike shoes use either a 3-hole or 2-hole cleat system, described below, so you'll want to match it up with a compatible pedal. Check the "specs" tab on REI.com product pages to make sure the shoes you are considering can mount the proper clipless pedal. (Note: Some Speedplay and Time models use a 4-hole cleat system.)
One notable road-cycling niche is triathlon-specific footwear. "Tri shoes" are built for race performance with maximum energy transfer and simplified foot entry/exit for transitions on and off your bike.
Shop REI's selection of men's road-bike shoes and women's road-bike shoes.
Shoes for Spin Classes
Spin classes at your local gym offer another common use for cycling shoes. There are a variety of indoor cycling shoes made just for this purpose. In addition, most mountain-bike shoes usually work fine. Check with your gym for specific cleat or shoe compatibility questions.
Comparing Shoe FeaturesClipless Pedal Compatibility
Shoes that are designed for use with clipless cleats have that compatibility listed under the "specs" tab in the REI.com product description (look for the "Cleat Drill Hole Pattern" entry). Some road shoes are drilled to accept both 3- and 2-hole cleat designs, but most will accept only one or the other. Shoes made for use with 2-hole systems can not be modified to use a 3-hole cleat. The 4-hole Speedplay pedal system can be adapted to fit many shoe styles.
What's the difference in functionality?
The 2-hole system is commonly known as the SPD system (short for Shimano Pedaling Dynamics, which was the first such system and still the industry standard). This smaller cleat size offers a solid connection to your pedal. The cleat is recessed into the sole allowing you the ability to walk around somewhat comfortably at least when compared to the 3-hole system. It is used on most mountain bike shoes and some road shoes (which may require adaptors) as well.The 3-hole system is sometimes known as the Look-style system (for the pioneering manufacturer of this system). It grants you the ultimate in stability, stiffness and energy transfer while riding. The downside is that it compromises your ability to walk normally due to the large cleat bolted to the sole of your shoe.
Other cycling shoes have the stiff soles for increased pedaling efficiency but come without cleats. These are intended for use with flat (platform) pedals.
Shoe Sizing
Bike shoes should fit comfortably from the get-go. Due to their stiff soles, shoes that are not comfortable initially have little chance to break in and become so later. All shoes should allow your toes enough room to wiggle slightly. Your arch should be snug and supported and your heel should not slide up and down.
When trying on cycling shoes, you may feel some slippage in your heel when you walk. This is due to stiffness of the soles which is designed to support your foot in a stable position while cycling. If you feel that a poor fit is causing the slippage, try a smaller size or a different shoe model.

The typical human foot is an anatomical marvel of evolution with 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles, and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments. Like the rest of the body, to keep our feet healthy, they need to be stimulated and exercised.
the Nike Air Presto
I just have to say, the Nike Air Presto has one of the ugliest designs i have seen in a while. Some of the previous colorways have been real fresh, but this colorway is just as bad as the design. This latest Nike Air Presto comes in Tan/Orange/Black colorway. The Air Presto features a upper made mostly of orange mesh. The shoes upper also features a bit of ?lycra stretch material. A brighter shade of orange is seen on the midsole Nike swoosh, inner lining, and shoe laces. Nike finishes off this hideous Air Presto with a full black sole. As of now, we have no release info. But stay tuned for updates as time go’s on. For now, check out some detailed shots of the Air Presto.

A shoe is an item of footwear evolved at first to protect the human foot and later, additionally, as an item of decoration in itself. The foot contains more bones than any other single part of the body, and has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years in relation to vastly varied terrain and climatic conditions. Together with the proprioceptive system, it is what makes balance and ambulation possible.
Until recent years, shoes were not worn by most of the world's population—largely because they could not afford them. Only with the advent of mass production, making available for the first time the cheap flip-flop-type sandal, for example, has shoe-wearing become predominant.
The design of shoes has varied enormously through time, and from culture to culture, with appearance originally being tied to function. Additionally fashion has often dictated whether shoes have, for example, very high heels or no heels at all. Contemporary footwear varies in style, complexity and cost, from the most basic sandal, via high fashion shoes for women sometimes costing thousands of dollars a pair, to complex boots specially designed for mountaineering or skiing. Shoes have traditionally been made from leather, wood or canvas, but are increasingly made from rubber, plastics, and other petrochemical-derived materials.

Shoes - The Latest in Shoes
I know that for those of you who love designer shoes it's difficult to imagine, but one of the questions I get most often is "which shoes have red soles?"
People that don't necessarily live in high-end department stores and boutiques have seen Oprah wearing sexy red-bottomed pumps, or they've seen other celebrities traipsing down the red carpets in red-soled stilettos, and they're justifiably curious. After all, as those of us familiar with his creations already know, this designer's shoes are some of the sexiest around.
So, I've decided to answer the question once and for all, in the hopes that people who are curious in the future can easily find an answer to:
Which shoes have red soles?
For those of you who already know the answer, I've included links to photos and fun facts about the shoes and the designer.
Despite the fact that the prices and the heels on designer shoes just keep getting higher, I still can't enough of looking at them -- they're the stuff that dreams are made of. And whether you can afford them or not, there's a whole lot of dreaming to be done with these top picks in designer shoes for women.
Shoes buying guide
You can never have too many shoes : a good size collection will provide a wonderful outlet for personal expression and help to complete or compeiment an outfit. Whether you love dress shoes ,casual ,boots ,sneakers , or sandals , this guide will help you find the style that is right for you.
Fitting and Sizing
Finding the proper size is, without a doubt, the most difficult part of the shoe buying process. The length of your foot definitely plays a part, but other factors, such as width, arch and the activity for which you will use the shoe, will change the size. To complicate matters, sizing will change from manufacturer to manufacturer and according to international standards. The most important part in finding the perfect shoe is how it feels on your foot, because if you don't like how it feels, you are not likely to wear it once it's been purchased.
Tips
The best deals on shoes are often found online, as plenty of major shoe brands are being sold at outlet prices across the web. However, if the fit is wrong or they don't look right, there is the hassle of shipping them back. To avoid this inconvenience and still get the most for your money, here are some helpful hints:
Go window shopping for shoes in your favorite brand stores. Pick out several styles you like and test them for the size. Always bring extra socks and stockings with you to see how they will fit with what you will wear. Take note of any areas that pinch, chafe or squeeze. You may need to go up a half-size or add an insole, cushion, or padding. Make sure to wear both shoes at once and walk around in them. The heel may slip a little, but never should slip more than an inch; that means that they are too big. This rule goes for lace-ups, flats, boots, and the like, but not for high heels. Keep slippage to a minimum for heels and pumps. They should fit snugly and securely, otherwise you can put yourself at risk for injury. Your toes should not be pushing against the end of the shoe, rather there should be about a half an inch or more worth of space. Take an estimate of how much each style costs so that you can compare online. Online shoe sales and deals are plentiful, but there's always an added cost of shipping, so make sure that you are actually getting a good deal by purchasing online. Men's Shoes
It might feel sometimes like there is just not the same variety for mens' shoes as there are for womens', but sometimes, even little changes can make a big difference. Check out some earthy brands like Tevas or Birkenstocks . Go casual to business casual with Thom McAn ,Timberland Or dress up with Cole Haan ,Kenneth Cole ,Bally ,Hugo Boss , or Todds . Experimenting with a new style, fabric, or color can shake things up and have you walking on air in no time!

Manolo's Shoe Blog Shoes, Fashion, Celebrity, and Manolo!
Manolo says, it is Monday and you are happy to report that your Mother’s Day was not unpleasant.
Your children took time out from their very busy schedule of digital communication to present you with the bouquet of flowers and the card, and to accompany you to the brunch at that Italian place you like. What was truly sweet, however, was that during your celebratory brunch, they had the great good courtesy to keep their cellphones in their laps. It was so wonderful! Whenever you looked down the table you could even pretend they were praying, their heads bowed, their thumbs furiously working at perhaps their rosaries.
Less satisfying, was the appearance of your mother-in-law, Blanche, and her “old man” Jimmy, who were also present at the meal.
Blanche is the wonderful mother-in-law, the sort who is sensible enough to help when needed, but also sensible enough to keep out of your business when not. However, what is troubling, is that she appears to have dealt with widowhood by joining the motorcycle gang.
“They’re not a motorcycle gang,” answers Gary when you mentioned your fears to him last night
“Yeah, but what about his beard?,” you snap back, “and those awful biker outfits?”
“Jimmy’s alright. The dude looks like Santa Claus.”
“I’m not sure. He seems a little rough to me.” The image of two, stout, elderly people in matching red leather jackets and chaps, eating eggs benedict, still lingers.
“He’s a retired endocrinologist,” says Gary, “They ride a Honda Goldwing for God’s sake.”
But you are not placated. You are worried for Blanche’s safety, and perhaps more than the little bit jealous that she seems to be having so much fun on the other side of seventy, heading off to Big Sur while you are still chained to your desk.
What is needed now are boots!
Look! It is the Christian Louboutin Ronfifi Corset Boots!
The exact sort of boots you would wear on the back of the giant motorcycle being piloted down the scenic coastal highway by Gary, except in this fantasy, Gary looks exactly like the young Lorenzo Lamas.
John Lobb
At John Lobb, one of Britain's oldest and last remaining bespoke shoemakers, little has changed since the firm was founded in 1849. Preferring to do everything by hand, the storied London firm declines to use machines to make its painstaking production process any easier. Bootmaker to British royalty since the 1860s and fashioner of what is arguably the world's finest men's footwear, Lobb received its first Royal Warrant from the Prince of Wales in 1863. Aside from sovereigns and heads of state, Lobbs have long been the favored footwear of fops including Cole Porter, Cecil Beaton, Hugh Grant and Daniel Day-Lewis. In this video produced by London's Guardian newspaper, Lobb Chairman and Managing Director John Hunter Lobb, great-grandson of the firm's founder, gives a guided tour behind the scenes, unlocking the door to "a lost world of craftsmanship." You'll never want to wear ready-made shoes again.

Facebook advertising system this week released a new challenge for infringement of privacy
April 19 morning news, according to foreign media reports today, Facebook will develop new systems to track access to Facebook users outside the Internet, and to gather enough information to put in more targeted advertising content .
so-called "behavioral targeting" advertising model is already widely used by sites such as Google, but for Facebook, the move will no doubt provoke further on the site privacy doubt.
Facebook scheduled this week to launch a content sharing button, third-party website can be button to add your own page. Users can directly access these pages marked their favorite content. This feature and Twitter, and Digg's content to share similar functions.
different is that the user mark, the relevant data will be recorded Facebook and Facebook when the user log back on to deliver relevant ads. This is only based on previously Facebook user personal information to advertise different strategies.
new advertising system is expected to be three this week, Facebook launched F8 at the annual meeting. Facebook may also announce their "two-way interactive advertising" (engagement ads) improvement plan.
"two-way interactive advertising" to make Facebook big profit, it allows the user to select a particular brand of fans, which in fact means that users opt to receive information about the brand and promotional advertising. "Two-way interactive advertising" to further facilitate the advertisers to users running promotional ads, and even access your personal information.
Facebook this week announced a "two-way interactive advertising," the changes will "become a fan of the brand" button replaced with "I like."

Ericsson or return to China Telecom CDMA market, awaiting the upgrade
Although we have now with China Mobile (00941.HK) has no business ties, but may soon have this business." Recently, in the CDMA Development Group (CDG ) at an industry gathering, Ericsson, surprisingly, in which Ericsson's China chief technology officer Ken Zhang said in his speech this. According to him, Ericsson was originally CDG bodies, but drop out, only to return to it now.
beginning in 2005, based on future technology trends and market structure of the judge, Ericsson bets from around the world began to WCDMA, and gradually withdrew from the CDMA market. China's market, Ericsson's CDMA market is basically following the withdrawal by the ZTE (000063.SZ) to take over, become a mere Ericsson to provide GSM and WCDMA / LTE suppliers.
However, in the past year, the telecom market situation has undergone major changes. July 2009, Ericsson invested 1.13 billion U.S. dollars, beat Nokia Siemens, Nortel acquired the LTE and CDMA business, this means that Ericsson regained the CDMA product lines.
but Nortel's LTE and CDMA operations mainly in North America until February of this year, Mats H Olsson, President of Ericsson China, in the acceptance of "First Financial Daily" reporters also said Ericsson has no plans to CDMA products in the Chinese market.
Zhang Ken said, will depend on whether or not to launch CDMA products in China market. He called the opportunity to refer to China Telecom (00728.HK) whether the network will further upgrade and replacement.
According to Zhang Ken introduction, if China Telecom will use the existing CDMA REV A version of the telecommunications network, Ericsson will certainly not intervene, because the upgrade to REV A version, as long as the device software upgrade , does not require the purchase of new equipment and replacement, if necessary to further upgrade China Telecom to CDMA REV B, and LTE, then, Ericsson are likely to consider entering.
in accordance with the current CDMA network technology evolution path, from the 3G version of CDMA 1X EVDO, the next step will be to upgrade to CDMA REV A, then the CDMA REV B, then to the LTE, China Telecom have jointly Some equipment manufacturers began test LTE network.
fact, Ericsson challenges in the Chinese market to some extent also to accelerate the strategic adjustment of Ericsson. Ericsson is the largest customer in China, China Unicom (600050.SH), but according to China Unicom's earnings, its capital expenditures in 2010 than in 2009, down 34.7%.
Ericsson though is China Mobile's TD equipment suppliers, but market share in the TD is still limited to single digits, is very limited. In contrast, all three standards covering the Chinese equipment manufacturers Huawei and ZTE are to achieve rapid growth.
3G licenses, China market status in the global telecommunications market to further improve, which is Ericsson CDMA in China can not ignore one of the reasons. According to CDG chief operating officer James Person, at present about 500 million worldwide CDMA subscribers, while China Telecom is expected to reach 1 million users by year-end, which means that China Telecom will become the world's largest CDMA operator, and win the global CDMA market at least 25% share.
Dangdang transition line in China Wal-Mart department store mall Yuzuo
for the revision, co-president Yu Yu Dangdang said Dangdang began on the home page last year to redesign, and home in half of the space for the department stores, this revision is to further the book categories as in the past no longer eye-catching, but only as many items in a category in the original books in the top left corner exclusively green "chunks\replacing books, digital phone, computer, Beauty, mother and child, home, appliances, women, men, shoes and bags, jewelry, and more than 10 merchandise categories. Meanwhile, the new home will be completely separate from the left side and right side, left side of commodity categories may change according to user needs flexibility to adjust.
responsible for the revision Dangdang site planning and design manager Deng Yifei introduced in the future Dangdang bestsellers content and method will be further optimized, in addition to single-items list, and will gradually establish a portfolio, from the more more latitude to enrich and optimize Dangdang Stores list. In addition, the single product page, all merchandise categories and shopping Museum Home of the revision process optimization is also planned in order to facilitate user operations.
Some analysts believe that the revised Dangdang This time from the online bookstore with online shopping to the comprehensive transformation of the overall strategy of the same strain, highlighting to the broader Dangdang, the larger the retail market development strategic intent.
Department Store will become the future focus on e-commerce goals
Why would shift the sale of department store book business? Ms. Yu with their own experience the answer to a reporter. "I lived abroad for 11 years, so many good Chinese-made consumer goods, we have enjoyed in the United States, did not enjoy at home. Why? Because of high rate of increase of our department stores. So, in the past 3 years We wildly enrich department stores, department stores, department stores! Dangdang done online in China Wal-Mart. "Ms. Yu says.
"Chinese e-commerce the next 10 years, the future of the field in the department store." Dangdang general merchandise vice president Chiang said, "The current strategy is to Dangdang and suppliers enter into long-term cooperation agreement change the traditional store channels to suppliers to enter the practice of shop fees, compressed out unnecessary costs, while the country with the largest B2C channels Dangdang size business, suppliers willing to supply the lowest price to Dangdang. Thus, Dangdang can not only guarantee the price lower than the traditional channels, but also the lowest of all the online mall. "
relevant statistics show that China's online shopping population has reached 120 million. Doubtful from a few years ago, to today's blossom everywhere, online shopping has become increasingly integrated into the mainstream of the consumer economy, people's consumption patterns thus, subtle changes in lifestyle also occur. With online shopping department store retailing in the continuous infiltration, and other shopping sites Dangdang constant force, and department store retailing is changing the rules of the game, in the process, those amendments and re-defined the rules of the game's net purchase platform Retail is becoming a real hero.
Today, online shopping and people's lives are becoming increasingly close, especially the promotion of triple play will prompt more consumers shopping online convenient. In addition, the data shows, from our online shopping market, at present, only the whole of its total retail sales of 1% -2%, in South Korea this percentage was 10%, about 4% in the United States, compared to China's online shopping market prospect indeed.
but one from Dangdang data show that in 2009 the turnover of Dangdang 80% of the share is still books; only 20% of department store sales business from Dangdang president Li Guoqing 2010, set department stores accounted for 50% of the target far from over.
buy clothes, shoes, hats, trinkets to Taobao; buy home appliances, digital products to Jingdong; books to Dangdang ... ... for the Dangdang revision, some consumers do not "cold." "Dangdang has been used to a certain pattern, I will not Dangdang other than to buy something in addition to the book." Consumer Wang Lei said.
winning line of network vice president, Zhou Wen said that in tough situations, including e-commerce sites such as Dangdang the strategic plan is in full swing.
"Dangdang 2009 new registered users there are only 10 million, it can not fully meet the needs of many of these consumers. So Dangdang from the publications area to expand to department stores and more The new generation of consumers except to satisfy a variety of consumer demand outside books. "Zhou Wen said," the book sold a lot of Dangdang, but there is excellent in, it can not make good money. In the absence of barriers and separated internet world needs a 'bloody' in the process, will be realized only under the subdivision pattern of coexistence. "
