Barefoot shoes are the new "it shoes."  The market was pretty well established before New Balance entered it. With the bar set high with the likes of Vibram FiveFingers and Merrell Barefoot, New Balance carved out a unique place for itself with their Minimus Shoes.

The New Balance Minimus is a hybrid minimalist shoe.  It is ultra light, has reduced padding in the sole, but unlike other barefoot style shoes, provides the type of support you would find in a high quality running shoe (while remaining true to the barefoot philosophy)...with a slightly raised heel.

Do you have a favorite pair of shoes? The shoes you look for as you're rushing out of the house?  The shoes you wear when you're doing chores?  The shoes you wear when you go for your regular walk?  Basically, an everything shoe?  I have a pair of "those shoes" - and they're called the Kuru Insight.

The Insight is the most versatile shoe from Kuru Footwear, and that is what makes it stand out from the rest of their line of footwear.  It is a casual shoe that can be worn for work or play.

The Kuru Insight comes with the Kurusole midsole, which provides custom support becuase it molds to your feet.

I have never felt anything as comfortable as Clarks Wave shoes are.  Obviously I’m not the only one who has noticed this though.  After all, you can purchase these shoes at many of the top online shoe retailers.  However, I found Footwear etc. a great selection of the Clarks Wave shoes with free shipping and no sales tax.

Ugg Boots have been the hottest selling fashion Winter boots for years. Warm. Lightweight. Stylish. Trendy. You buy Ugg Classic Boots so that your feet can stay warm, while looking cool at the same time.

In Australia, the word "Ugg" means "Boot". Ever since the '60's, Ugg boots have been in use by Australian surfers for warmth after getting out of cold water. When Ugg Boots migrated to California (along with the surfers), the surfing community there also embraced the thermostatic boots (they keep you warm when it's cold, while whisking away any moisture when it's hot). Now Ugg Classic Boots are coveted by everyone, not just surfers - they're the trendiest boots around.

MBT shoes have always been a favorite of mine. But the new MBT Jambo has set a new standard for MBT. These shoes have a retro coolness to them, and are, dare I say...the most comfortable shoes MBT has come out with to date.

The Jambo is a low profile MBT shoe with a traditional canvas sneaker design. If it were not for the MBT logo on the side of the shoe, it would be hard to distinguish it from other canvas sneakers. It has an urban look that will attract a whole new audience that may not like the look of most MBT shoes.

Walking is becoming more popular as a low-impact method to get, and stay, fit.  Starting a walking regimen is easy, but sticking to it is not.  The quality of the shoes you wear can make a big difference in whether you get shin splints, ankle, knee, or hip pain - which can sideline you indefinitely.

Shoes are necessary for protection. Without shoes, you wouldn’t be able to do pretty much a lot of things without injuring yourself. But recent developments of shoes have made it less comfortable and hard to use. Our feet adapts to our shoes and not the other way around.

A new brand of shoes is making waves because of its comfort and benefits. Barefoot shoes, yes, an oxymoron, but according to their website, are shoes that embrace the benefits and philosophy of walking and running barefoot. This simple footwear is malleable and conforms to the shape of the feet to give the wear maximum comfort and ability to use their feet without any distractions.

Plantar fasciitis, that common foot condition that afflicts 1 in 10 Americans at some point in their lifetime, is a treatable disease that requires the patience and perseverance of the afflicted person in sticking to the recommended therapeutic measures. A plantar fasciitis treatment plan uses a combination of several different modalities that all work together to bring relief from the pain and swelling that accompany this disease. Before we go into the various forms of treatment for plantar fasciitis, let us first go into the background of this debilitating condition that affects a person's activities and limits his mobility.
