Adidas make Great shoe

Advantages: Comfort
Disadvantages: Squeek

...I recently bought my self a paid of these shoes, and for the price they were a very good product. They are extreamly comfortable and I dont have aching feet after long day of golf as i usually do. I do usually go for Footjoy and i dont like to deviate away from what i know, but i decided to go for a change and i am very happy I did. To design is ok just depends what you like they are a bit individual with the adidas striped going all round the shoe and under the sole. They breath well and are so far, waterproof. the only small problem that when your feeet get slighly damp coz of sweating they start to squeek slightly and can be very annoying. But that is just a small thing and is proably my wonky feet. They are light on foot and are easy walking. All in all a good shoe well worth the money if you want to get away from Footjoy....

Review of Adidas Tour 360 Limited Edition Golf Shoe

Adidas Tennis Shoes

Advantages: Good styling, comfort and control
Disadvantages: Not very durable

...that Adidas would have taken that fact into consideration and strengthened the toe area of the shoe. The tread in the underside of the shoe has worn down an awful lot. This makes playing on astroturf a bit more difficult. A lot of the grip is lost and you can easily lose your footing. This can be very dangerous and you can pick up a serious injury if you fall awkwardly. ---Style--- The styling of the shoes is actually very good. They have managed to incorporate the special technological aspects into the shoe, without ruining the look. Adidas have managed to create a good balance and contrast between the sole area and the rest of the shoe. The 'air holes' on the top aren't too fancy and blatant but they do their job well of keeping the feet cool. This particular tennis shoe, comes in three different colour schemes. The new set...

Good all purpose shoe, also suitable for cricket

Advantages: Comfortable, well made, reasonable price
Disadvantages: not a lot of toe protection

...I have starting playing indoor cricket, and have been playing on polished wooden surfaces, where grip has been important, especially when bowling. I found the Adidas Uproar to be very comfortable, although not specifically designed for cricket, although taking one on the foot from an indoor ball still hurts. For bowling I found grip very good, essential if you want to avoid turning your ankle over when bowling, even though these are a low cut trainer. The bottom of the shoe has a non-marking indoor sole, and good traction. A cross trainer cut would be a plus, although these shoes were good value and being well made will undoubtedly last for a long time....

Love and Basketball

Advantages: Immersive story line, believable acting, soundtrack
Disadvantages: Very basketball orientated - difficult to understand if you don't know much about basketball

...I purchased this film many years ago, in fact I think it was about 6 years ago, maybe 7, and I watched it for the millionth time last night and thought to myself "people really need to know how good this film is"... Because lets face it, if you haven't already heard of it, and you don't love basketball then why should you ever bother to watch it? Right? Well hopefully i'll convince you its a good idea. But i'll make sure I show you why I like it, and why some people may not. Well firstly, the story. The film is a story of 2 next door neighbors that have been living next to each other since they were kids. Both of them (a boy and a girl) love the sport of basketball. The boy, Quincy, (Omar Epps) has dreams of making it big time in the NBA (National Basketball Association) and has all the tools and money to do so, due to his father being...

I Got A Basketball Jones

Advantages: It's just sick
Disadvantages: Lots of rules

...This review comes in conjuction with the start of the NBA season, beginning today when last year's champions the San Antonio Spurs face the Portland Trail Blazers. Basketball is my favourite sport to participate in, and second favourite to watch (after American football). It is the second most viewed spectator sport in the United States, and is played by over 300 million people in 144 countries. Playing The Game Essentially, this game is very simple, however many may be put off by the numerous rules, the rules aren't too difficult to understand, and after a few game, it is to work out. Basketball is competed with five people against five on the other team. The aim of the game is to score points by throwing the ball into the opposing team's basket. Playing Time: In the international games, the game has four 10...

Scone Shoes

Advantages: comfortable, better fitting shoes at reasonable prices
Disadvantages: limited range, most of them are quite ugly

...manufacturers: names include Hush Puppies, Brevitt, Comfitts, Equity, Adidas, Kickers, Ecco and Clarks. Admittedly, most of them are still ugly, there?s no point in lying to you. But there ARE stilettos. There ARE knee-length leather boots. There ARE strappy sandals, and some of them are even pretty. My shoe-fiend friends would probably curl their noses up at all of them, but then again they all have nice small slim feet that they can squeeze into pretty shoes: I have hobbit feet that hurt in everything, and am just glad to have found some shoes, any shoes, that aren?t totally hideous and that are comfortable. I ordered some red trainers, at £29.99 and some black leather ankle boots ? with heels! - at £49.99 and both are almost passable as ?normal? looking. They?re also extremely comfortable. You might not think that a simple quarter...

Review of The Shoe Tailor

The Basketball Diaries

Advantages: Has a message, good film, Di Caprio at his best
Disadvantages: None

...Introduction ~~ Set in the early 1970’s in New York the Basketball Diaries is about young and talented basketball player – Jim Carroll (Leonardo Di Caprio) Carroll is a promising basketball player who will make it to the top with a little bit of effort and skill. Wanting to become a basketball player is difficult and it means drugs and alcohol are a no-no but living in 1970’s New York Jim Carroll just can’t resist the temptations of drugs and prostitutes which are all around him. Cast ~~ I have to admit to never rating Leonardo Di Caprio as an actor, thinking that he only starred in corny, cheesy blockbusters but his outstanding performance in the Basketball Diaries completely changed my opinion. Acting as a stoned junkie must be the hardest task for an actor and Di Caprio excels as it. Though you must...

Get A Grip!

Advantages: Comfortable, waterproof, stylish, good grip.
Disadvantages: Make sure you break them in properly before you hit the golf course!

...I wasn't over enamoured! The runner-up spot in a team competition last summer at my golf club won me a new pair of golf shoes. Problem was, they weren't the Footjoy brand that I normally wear and which have served me well down through the years, but a pair of white Adidas shoes with black stripes which for all the world looked like a pair of my teenage daughter's trainers. I was even less enamoured when I discovered that they hadn't been purchased in the club professional's shop, which meant I couldn't exchange them for something else. Not that they were a bad looking pair of shoes mind you. Called the "Adidas Tour Traxion" they are a slightly less expensive version of Adidas's best selling golf shoe, the "Tour 360", which is worn by many of the top tour professionals. Anyways, as my old pair of Footjoy Dryjoys were becoming...

Dancing shoes on

Advantages: well thought out characters and a nice story
Disadvantages: likely to make you cry

...I first read Ballet Shoes when I was eight. It was the first of Noel Streatfield's books I'd read, and it remains my favourite. I put it away during my teenage years and forgot about it until Christmas 2007 when I watched the BBC adaptation with Emma Watson. I went to Indonesia and got the film on knock-off DVD, and immediately after watching I rang home to get my parents to order me a copy. It was a great welcome home. The book opens with 'Garnie' moving into a huge mansion, filled with fossils. She and her nurse (Nana) are moving in with her uncle. You don't really get any of their story until one day her uncle Matthew arrives home from a trip with a package, containing of all things... a baby! They agree to take the baby and name her Pauline. Once Pauline is a bit older, and Great Uncle Matthew (GUM) is away again, another package...
