Nike+ Running, for those in need of Motivation

Advantages: Loads of stats, really makes running into a new experience
Disadvantages: Expensive!

...shoes, in a groove designed with that purpose in mind. If you have conventional running shoes, there?s no reason why you couldn?t use them and attach the sensor to your shoes another way; I believe securing it between your laces in some way is a popular tactic. Once you?re in your shoes and you?ve got your Ipod ready, walking around a little causes the sensor and the receiver to connect to each other and then you can start your run. So far, nothing here sounds very spectacular; you can get even pedometers on some mobile phones, so why splash the cash on the Nike+ kit? The reasons are, contrary to what skeptics may think, not in short supply. In a personal opinion, one of the more discouraging aspects of exercise such as road running (or any type of running, for that matter), is the lack of achievement you may feel come the end of it...

Review of Nike iPod Sport Sensor Training Kit

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

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....

Review of Nike Tiempo

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 Mercurial Veloci Firm Ground Breaking Football Boots

Advantages: High standard, great value, comfortable and made by Nike
Disadvantages: None I can think of

...these boots to the next level providing a boot that is made of strong material, but it is also light to wear which is what you need when you are running on the football ground. It is no good if your shoes are going to make your feet sweat a lot, but these shoes have been fine in that respect. That's the thing with Nike they have experience of manufacturing sports wear so you know that you can trust the brand. I've been purchasing products from Nike for as young as I can remember. I am a faithful customer and prefer Nike compared to the other sports brands on the market today. Their weight is just 230g and compared with competition from other boots The Nike Mercurial Veloci is quite similar to the Vapor V and is one of the lightest football boots on the market today. The lightness of these boots makes them easier to run and play in...

Review of Nike Mercurial Veloci Firm Ground Football Boots

Shoe in

Advantages: Comfortable
Disadvantages: Big, ugly, flamboyantly coloured

...was managing to hobble around a lot faster in them. Now, the downside with these shoes is that they don?t seem to be sold in shoe shops but rather in little independent stores or stalls. The place I got mine was a small partitioned stand within the local shopping centre run by a middle aged woman who was possibly on day release and definitely drunk. Immediately she told me try on a pair of size 8?s. I did and felt like I was wearing clown shoes. The fact that they were bright orange did not help any. I told her they felt too big and there commenced a lot of her pulling up my trouser leg to see where my heel was, poking my toes and squeezing her hands inside the shoes (whilst my feet were in them). She conceded that she had a size 7 that might be a better fit which I dutifully tried on. When I told her that in those I still had...

Review of Crocs Cayman Shoes

Ideal for men on the run

Advantages: Nice pleasing fragrance
Disadvantages: None

...This bath and shower gel for men has a wonderful fragrance without being too 'fussy' or 'girlie' and doubles up as both cleanser and hair shampoo. As with all Body Shop items, this product has not been tested on animals. The gel itself is a lovely dark aqua colour and very light, it lathers beautifully and is ideal for the man who doesnt want to spend too much time in the shower/bathroom each day. It contains almond protein which helps to moisturise the skin and also helps to give body to hair. The gel has a wonderful but very light and refreshing citrus fragrance which will certainly help to give your man a kick first thing in the morning!...

Nike Tennis Trainers

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

...have to run to the back of the court if we have been lobbed. These shoes are excellent for those short, sharp sprints. They make your game that little bit better and easier. ---Durability--- I think that these tennis shoes will have a very long usage period for me. They appear very well made and designed. There are two main parts that make up the body of the shoe and they are held firmly together. Also, the toe area has been re-inforced using a strong and thick rubber. This gives added strength in the area which is most likely to wear away or get damaged first. The tread on the sole is also very deep, which means it will last for a lot longer. I also think that the Nike brand name should mean they have longevity in their and also their styling. These are a pretty solid pair of tennis shoes. ---Value for Money--- These shoes...

Review of Nike iD

Run Lola Run

Advantages: Enjoyable action, decent violence, gore and Arnie one-liners.
Disadvantages: Missing the intelligence of the source novel making it fairly one-dimesional.

...THE RUNNING MAN Stephen King, you could presume, has a certain degree of foresight. Whilst not exactly identical to his novel The Running Man (written under his pseudonym Richard Bachman and published in 1982), the likes of Big Brother, Shipwrecked and any other hopeless reality television programme you care to mention certainly conforms to his future society where the masses lap up reality game shows. Yet the game shows in King's world are often deadly to the contestants despite the big money prizes on offer, making it all the more intriguing for the bloodthirsty audiences of the future to enjoy. Imagine being treated to the likes of watching some nobody looking for their 15 minutes of fame "Climbing for Dollars", before they slip and fall into a pit of wild dogs and are torn to shreds by Mutley and Co. for being an utterly miserable...

Review of The Running Man (DVD)

Kleenex for men

Advantages: A strong and large tissue
Disadvantages: A bit dearer than most

...absorbent. The tissues fit easily into any pocket or handbag and I often keep a few in my bag as they come in so handy. The tissues are fully recyclable and above all they are exceptionally strong. There is nothing worse than finding out your tissue isn't man enough for the job. Of course if you are out and about the tissues become multi functional, a face wipe, an emergency napkin, a mop up for a child's grazed knee! you name it they will do the job. I appreciate that 100 sheets costs about £2.15, so they do tend to cost far more than some other brands, but one tissue will last the day out, no constant running back and forth to the tissue box....
