Scone Shoes

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

...First let me explain ?scone shoes.? When I first ordered shoes from the Shoe Tailor, experts in wider-fitting shoes, I measured my feet incorrectly and found that the only shoes in their catalogue that would fit me were their widest, ugliest, most orthopaedic, brown, granny shoes: the type you might wear to go out with your friends for a scone, in your later years. Hence my friends groaningly called them my ?scone shoes? and walked several yards behind me on the way to the pub every night. They were very comfy! However, they fell apart after a couple of years of continuous wear, and once gone, same said friends took me shopping to some ?proper? shoe shops in Glasgow and I never once consulted my Shoe Tailor catalogue again. That was about eight years ago, and although I?m not exactly old and doddery yet, I am finding shoes to be...

Review of The Shoe Tailor

Nike Tiempo Legend

Advantages: Soft, Leathery, Goal Scorers Classic
Disadvantages: Leather wears slightly

...The world renowned Ronaldinho sports these amazing, sultry boots they are soft inside and the leather is ever so soft. The custom nike pattern gives it a fashionable design. Nike Tiempo Legend are used by 9% Premier League Players. This boot is great for soft ground and this is seen by the amount of footballers who wear it. I had these shoes last season and they are still in mint condition which show quality is a must as with most Nike products. I normally go for the coveted 3 striped but this was an eye catching yet basic design i thoroughly enjoyed putting 25 goals past the keeper last year and will certainly use these as they have fast become my favourite and luckiest boots. I advise you to purchase this as it is a bargain. You'll be mad to miss it....

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...

Review of Ballet Shoes - Noel Streatfeild

Shoes, shoes, shoes....wahahaha!

Advantages: lots of cheap, high quality shoes!
Disadvantages: customer service not great!

...SHOE ZONE ----------------- Shoe zone was founded in 1917 and was called Bensonshoe. In 1980 it was bought by the Smith family. A year later Wassall PLC was bought acquiring 43 stores and doubling the companies turnover. Another company, Tylers, was bought 5 years later in 1986 adding more branches. The store has continued to grow and is now known as the 'shoe giant' Shoe Zone. THE STORE ----------------- This review is based on the store in Plymouth although I have attended other Shoe Zone stores over the UK and they seem much of a likeness. The store in Plymouth is very eye catching. The sign outside uses 'clashing colours' orange and blue. It is a very basic but an attractive and effective sign. Outside the store there are several baskets containing shoes that are on offer. At the moment Shoe Zone is selling a lot...

Review of Shoe Zone

Shoe in

Advantages: Comfortable
Disadvantages: Big, ugly, flamboyantly coloured

...As some of you may already be aware, the way to my heart is with handbags and shoes. Large cash deposits are also much appreciated but don?t come along all that often. As far as shoes are concerned, I like pretty shoes, generally with sparkly bits and, ideally, bows. However, for the past couple of weeks I?ve been limping in the manner of a geriatric who has recently had a hip replaced. This could be due to the fact that I attempted to kick a 6 ton boat off a rock (that some other incompetent had wedged it on, I hasten to add) or it could be down to years of wearing shoes that are too tight, too cramped, too high, or just weighed down with too many bows. It had got to the stage that I was limping so badly that my knee had become quite sore as a result of walking awkwardly on my left foot, and I really thought that ropes and some...

nike tiempo boots

Advantages: nice design, light
Disadvantages: not strong, dont prevent injury

...been wearing my mitre boots the injury would not have occurred as the leather would have been stronger and would have prevented my ankle from twisting. This is just in my experience but i am noticing this more and more in the modern day nike boots. I gotta say in defense of them though that the design is nice and they are extremely light. But maybe as my story proves that isnt such a good thing. If you are a real footballer who likes to play alot and not just against mates but competitively then i would not recommend these boots. Sure they look nice but if they dont prevent injury then it doesnt matter how they look. Save some money and get the old school mitre boots lol, or just buy the total 90s they are my personal favourites and are still quite cheap....

Nike Tennis Trainers

Advantages: Custom Made, Stylish, Has Your Own iD
Disadvantages: None

...---Introduction--- As some of you may, or may not, know, I'm a keen tennis player. I play around 6 hours a week, although I would like to do a lot more. In order to get the very best out of your tennis ability, using the correct equipment is very helpful. Before I bought these trainers, I had a pair of Adidas ones. Sadly, after just a few months, they have reached the end of their usage life. I have written a review on my Adidas tennis shoes, so please feel free to check it out as well. I have bought a pair of Nike Air Max Breathe Free II. A bit of a mouthful I know. I purchased them from nikeid/europe. The long and short of it is, that you can customise a number of Nike products to your like and taste. You can also print your own special words on the side, known as your own iD, as long as Nike deems them in-offensive and not...

Shoes for your feet .

Advantages: good fit shoe
Disadvantages: expensive

...Clark’s shoes. When I was little my mum and dad would take me to the Clarks shoe shop in St Ives Cambs. They did not like taking me there cos I would scream and scream till I made everyone sick of me. I hated new shoes, I used to be frightened of the machine that measured my feet had to put foot into a box and it gave a sort of x ray picture to measure your foot, it was scary. However mum and dad persisted and I was bought new Clarks shoes. Clark’s shoes were and still are some of the best for little feet. My grandson has a pair. When he gets his feet measured he just has to put his foot on a foot measure and they can see by the markings on the measure what size he needs. After Adrian’s foot is measured he will try on selected styles and the assistant will check they fit and that there is plenty of room so...

Green Wellie Shoes

Advantages: Dry feet
Disadvantages: None I have found yet

...We have all heard of the drought conditions that have been experienced in England recently. Unfortunately, although my part of the country is reputed to be "drier than Egypt", this isn't apparent in my garden. Following weeks of rain, the old shoes I had been using outside, finally gave up the ghost and fell apart. My feet were just as wet as they would have been had I been outside with bare feet! This WAS an option - but having seen some of the wildlife that wanders around the garden, NOT something that I chose to do. During a trip to the garden centre I happened to notice some garden shoes - in fact, just like a Wellington shoe. I have to say this as I can think of no better way to describe them. They are made by a company called Willowdale Products and there is quite a selection to choose from ranging from the usual...
