Who doesn’t remember the Reebok Pump? Back in the day, this shoe was the coolest footwear you could slip on when rocking through the elementary school hallways. Unbelievably, these kicks are back with the Reebok Lifestyle Pump Omni Lite. This pair is actually a part of Reeboks Special Edition Court Collection, and features none other then that little bball style tongue pump for a truly custom fit. For additional comfort and breathability, the Reebok Lifestyles incorporate all-soft leather upper as well as a molded sock liner for extra cushion and durability. Reebok Pump Omni Lites also use a molded midsole in order to increase padding without creating additional weight. Cleary “The Pumps” by Reebok are for style points only, but if you are trying to test these on the court, you will actually find that the high abrasion outsole provides more than enough traction and durability for the full court press. This particular pair is offered in white/neon blue/paprika, and black/vibrant violet alternating colors.
The Reebok Pump shoes can be found at a discount at these current stores.

If you were born in the 80’s but grew up in the 90’s, you will love the retro style of these sneakers. Coming straight out of the early video game era, these Retro Puma Disc Blaze Sneakers exhibit a design that could most closely be a combination of Back to the Future II, and original Nintendo/arcade games. Basically, if you stuck the original 90’s Puma runner in a blender, then add your 13 year old brain full of mario brothers, space invaders, and anything Atari/Kanomi, you would get the Disc Blaze 80’s. Along with an extreme throw back style and design, these Pumas are surprisingly comfortable. The synthetic upper and padded foot bed will give your feet the comfort zones they need, while remaining nice and durable for long time use. No, the Puma Disc Blade sneakers are not exactly high performance shoes for running marathons, or kick stepping your way into the end zone. In actuality, between the durable out sole, and retro design of the Puma Blaze 80’s, you are more likely to be invited to a VIP arcade hall instead of the bball court.
Puma and Retro Puma sneakers can be found at some great online locations. Check here for the best prices.

True style will always start from the shoes up. Think about it, you can’t just go out wearing a new hat and consider yourself to be rocking out with a new look. If you are looking to revamp your style a bit, I suggest first buying a pair of One True Saxon Hitch Shoes. These extremely fashionable European style man’s shoes use a “hitch” mock toe loafer design for full comfort and style. The outside of the One True Saxon loafers are constructed of full grain leather, and have a wooden duffel coat toggle for an appealing closure. For an extra European look, the Saxon hitch shoes have a orange leather lining and covered foot bed with an included black northern wizard logo. For practical purposes as well as for looks, these man’s loafers also have a repeating reverse rubber out sole which aides in ultimate traction and foot control. To make the pair of hitch shoes, One True Saxon does a fantastic job in blending the look of a well put together casual shoe, with the overall comfort of a loafer.

In an incredible display of athleticism, Jamicain Sprinter Usain Bolt won 2 Olympic gold medals in the 100 and 200 meter race during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. With unquestionable speed (even beating out his own 100m world record time by 0.03 seconds), Bolt seemed to be destined for the number one spot even before the races began. Oddly, a gold medal around his neck was not the only gold to be had in the stadium. As a very customized shoe by Puma, Bolt was wearing a pair of golden kicks unlike anything we have ever seen before. Of course we got a nice little close up as Usain gave his golden gunners a smooch during his over the top celebration. The question remains however, what type of Puma’s are these, and will they be available for sale? I’d say being the fastest man in the world (and doing it with a shoe lace untied) is a great way to promote some Pumas if one was so inclined. So far Puma reps are keeping quiet, and are denying any type of allegations that they told Usain to remove his shoes and show them off to the camera. Maybe he did it all out of excitement, or maybe we can plan to see Bolt’s Golden Shoes soon on the market.

It is true, some of the gladiator sandals in this season are hideous examples of fashion trying to reinvent the middle ages. Just put them around Russell Crowe’s ankles, and all the lions will no doubt run away!! But I must admit, media has its powerful influence; you just need to see the images over and over and you are stung. To be honest, some examples of the leather wrap are noteworthy featured in these shoes are actually noteworthy. This version of Via Spiga’s Woman Undo is a smart example of how not all gladiator shoes are created equally. Here we have a pattern which is a fun black and white giraffe, a far cry from any domestic animal from Rome. The shoe’s ankle wrap design also commands attention because it is reminiscent of the modern and innovative architectural design of Beijing’s new Olympic Stadium, The Bird’s Nest. A great overall sandal, you can wear them either as casual street look during the day with a pair of jeans, or you can put them on (or off) easily for a hot cocktail date. The flat heal and leather topped foot bed with heal pad allow for comfort even allow for wild dancing all night long. The round toe thong post might take a bit getting used to, but together with a fun nail polish color, it will definitely pay off in the end. The Via Spiga Undo comes in size 6.5 only. Now it’s up to the gladiator to find his fitting Cinderella match.

We all understand that new types of shoes come out almost on a daily basis. In fact, I cant walk down the street or watch TV without seeing a new edition shoe being advertised. Some look good, some not so much, but over all I think that Creative Recreation Shoes have some of the best designs on the market. For people with a sense of style, Creative Recreation throws together an eclectic mix of what could best be described as a casual shoe meets imagination meets an edge. Personally I dig the Creative Recreation Dechico style in the white/maroon/khaki/navy color scheme (though offered in 15 diff colors). This is an extremely comfortable pair as they are lightweight and have a removable padded insole for a custom fit. The Dechico’s are constructed out of premium suede and have a kid leather upper for breath-ability , and also use a mesh lining for superior long wearing comfort. This style of Creative Recreation Shoes are a perfect way to get noticed both in the office, or during those first few weeks back on campus! Check out the variety of CR Shoes at Zappos.com.

There may be modifications, updates, tweaks, and versions, but everyone knows nothing beats an original. To get back to the roots, Adidas Originals Universal editions are back in town. Offered in 5 distinct colors (my fav being the all white withe rave red, indigo, and white alternating stripes), these shoes are a complete throw back to the Adidas sneaker that was first introduced back in 1972. For comfort, these shoes offer a particular padding for heel/Achilles support and are constructed of an all leather upper to keep feet cool and dry. Each shoe is only at a mere 10oz., so you know the Adidas Universals will never weigh you down, and each incorporates 3 “zone sole units” for superior traction. With the multiple color schemes and a suede patch at the toe for some bonus style points, the Adidas Originals are second to none. These shoes are a great way to start off the new school year.

Dorm rooms are not exactly known for their immense size. Unfortunately when dealing with an area this small, tiny messes seem large, and large messes seem completely out of control. In order to help keep things organized in the dorm (especially for the girls out there), I suggest picking up an Over The Door Shoe Organizer by Simply Shabby Chic. Using one of these will free up much needed closet space for seasonal clothes, books, and those random weird things college students tend to acquire over time. This shoe organizer will hold up to 24 of your favorite pair of shoes, accessories, sunglasses, (research papers), or anything else you want to stuff in there. Constructed of heavy duty canvas, you shouldn’t worry about any holes or piercings from all of those 6 inch stilettos or heavy gauge steel tipped Doc Martins. Included in the Simply Shabby Chic Over The Door Shoe Organizer are the metal door brackets necessary for even and adjustable hanging. This organizer will help keep your floors and closet clean, and do so without taking up much dorm space.

If you are an avid beach goer, the Crocs Beach Sandals are definitely for you. Designed specifically to reduce any “wet time” even when waves are splashing over, this pair has significantly sized ventilation holes on both the top, and sides of the shoe. The holes make for breathability, but are also very useful in the removal of debris or sand that may have floated in on the last wave. With a very interesting look, this great style ensures not only a fun design (with over 12 vibrant colors available), but also unquestionable comfort! In fact, the footbeds of the Crocs used are constructed of a very specific rubber which will literally conforms to your foot, making for a custom fit with every step. The pair also includes “massaging nubs” to help improve blood circulation, and to keep feet feet nice and relaxed throughout the day. The Crocs Beach Sandals have a very durable ankle strap to reduce any likely hood of seem them float away, and have a substantially tacky rubber outsole for peak stability, when wet or dry. With a playful style growing in popularity everyday, Crocs sandals can be worn anywhere from the boat deck to the beauty salon and always pull in a compliment.

Sandals are a perfect way to keep feet cool and happy in the summer in the summer heat. Unfortunately, with summer comes water, and with water comes notoriously slippery sandals. In order to help prevent loosing traction Teva has created the Men’s Halyard 2 Boating Sandal. This highly comfortable sandal comes in sizes 7-14 and uses a “Shoc Pad Heel;” for superior shock absorption and a compression EVA midsole which has a natural foot contour. The most important aspect to this pair, is their ability to promote superior traction even under the wettest conditions. Featuring a “spider rubber” outsole for superior grip, multi directional grooves cut in to displace water at opposite angles, thereby improving stability even further. The outsole is also non marking so there will never be any scuff marks left on a boat deck, and there is an included anti microbial agent included within the rubber itself to halt bacteria growth and potential smell. A clean looking pair, the Teva Men’s Halyard 2 Boating Sandal uses very earthy tones of khakis, browns, off whites, and of course the Teva symbol for a classy finishing touch.

The Puma French 77 Shoes are some of the hottest styles of Puma on todays market. Offered in 13 distinct colors (green on white, black/blue on white, and red on white to name a few), each is dedicated to a sporty/modern twist of the old school Puma GV Special. The major difference between the two styles is that the 77 has a crisper, more streamlined look and feel. These shoes have a very smooth nubuck (very soft leather) upper, and a perfed toe box of varying colors which then connects to the clean rubber outsole. An extremely comfortable shoe, the French 77 style always fits true to size and will offer the type of foot support you are looking for from the get go. A nice little benefit to this pair is that they are also very easy to clean if they do wind up scuffing, and are not as slim fitting as some of the other sporty styles by Puma. Overall, the Puma French 77 Shoes are a perfect everyday shoe and come in enough styles for anyone to look good.

If sandals are designed to keep feet cool, dry, and comfortable, what are clogs designed for? For one thing, the Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed Clogs are made to bring all day foot comfort to a whole new level. Using a suede lined 100% anatomical cork footbed, every step taken will help mold the clogs to a custom fit for comfortable healthy feet. The included raised toe bar allows for premium air circulation as well as to help encourage a healthy step, and the dual layer jute constantly wicks moisture away from the foot. For added comfort, the Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed Clogs also have a “cupped” heel to ensure back foot support, as well as thick padding. Sometimes clogs get a bit loose, however for a long lasting secure fit, these specific clogs have an adjustable strap plus use an EVA outsole for superior shock absorption. These clogs are offered as both a narrow or regular width, as well as a great selection of colors including taupe, mocha, and black suede.

If you are an amateur to professional biker, then you already know how serious foot performance is to your ride. In order to get maximum foot comfort while riding and lugging the bike, you should try using a pair of Pearl Izumi Bike Shoes. Engineered specifically to transfer maximum power to the pedals, these shoes incorporate both a high traction carbon rubber outsole, and a nylon plate interior for a well balanced high impact push. This nylon plate (and flexible forefoot), also works as an advantage by giving a biker the necessary flexibility and support when carrying the bike around, or while site seeing at a potential destination point. For added comfort, these shoes are only semi stiff and have a low cut to reduce weight and further “bulk” around the foot. Reducing even potential weight, the Pearl Izumi X-Alp Low bike Shoes also uses a synthetic quick dry mesh upper so that moisture will not stick around to make feet feel heavy and weighed down. A secure fit and moderately priced, the Pearl Izumi’s are a great way to keep those feet pedaling down the whole trail.

There is no sense in buying a great pair of sandals, only then to watch them get wet at the beach or bay, and never look the same again. That is true of course, unless you are going to buy a pair of Keen Laguna Sandals which are made specifically with water durability in mind. Designed with a super quick dry lining and a highly durable, highly treaded outsole, these bad boys can be used to literally walk in the water without fear of deterioration or foot damage. To ensure a perfect fit, the sandals also incorporate an elastic toggle strap to help reduce any likely hood of water carrying them off and away, and a thick toe bumper to keep toes from rock, coral, fish, or any other potentially damaging item in the sea. Unlike many other water shoes, the Keen Laguna Sandals have side and top holes to allow excess water to flush out without any problem. This helps prevent any type of mold or mildew from growing, and keeps the sandal nice and dry for the next splash!

There is nothing like the feeling of giving back to community. There is also nothing like the feeling of a pair of Reef Sandals. These may seem like two very unrelated topics, until of course you combine them together to make the new Reef Project Blue Fanning Sandals! Perfect in design, durability, and comfort, these sandals use an anatomical arc support so feet never feel the pain, and use an EVA soft footbed for maximum cushion. The sandal also uses a fully enclosed heel airbag to absorb the shock from sand, to street, to sidewalk. O.K so here is the best part, these specific Reef Project Blue Fanning Sandals are modes to help protect, prevent, and prevail against damage done to beaches from irresponsible waste disposal, over development, and erosion. If you are an avid beach goer, you may have already recognized that the beaches are getting smaller and smaller every year and yet development is still increasing! Reef will actually donate 2$ per pair of Project Blue Sandals to help bring the beaches back to the people, and back to the wildlife

For people who consistently wear sandals, the need for comfort, durability, and style is always on the mind. Especially if/when there is a need to buy a new pair, you don’t want to blow money on something that turns out to be a waste. A staple in the summertime footwear community, Birkenstock Sandals always delivers the quality, cushion, and reliability needed for the avid sandal wearer. Take for example this style of Birks (Arizona Taupe Suede) with a nice cush footbed. 2 full leather adjustable straps with an EVA outsole is incorporated to give a great look and feel, as well as to absorb the impact of walking on even the hardest surfaces. Your feet will still stay nice and relaxed in these sandals, and they are even offered in a slim fit or regular fit for all foot sizes. Currently (as of June 20th) these Birkenstock Sandals are at a 20% off discount, making them a great buy for the summer!
