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

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 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...

Review of Crocs Cayman Shoes

Shoes for your feet .

Advantages: good fit shoe
Disadvantages: expensive

...his little bones are not squashed and restricted. Clarks have a reasonable range of shoes simple soft shoes for little feet and sturdier shoes for more robust feet that stomp around the playground. Clarks make school shoes and trainers too, also slippers and sandals. Shoes that are designed for boys and for girls. Measuring your Childs feet and having the right sized shoe is so important. Clarks make shoes for men and for ladies too I believe my husband has a pair of men’s shoes he bought in the sales. The men’s styles are ok, nothing ground breaking but standard sensible shoes think that the Clarks ladies styles can be a bit frumpy not really fashionable, but they are well made and a good quality so ladies for sensible shoes they are fine. The Clarks shop in my town also sells Echo shoes and K shoes i believe clarks...

Me In Boxer Shorts And Trainers Scary Hey!!!

Advantages: Great For Aerobic Work
Disadvantages: Misleading Adverts

...Being a dedicated and hard working househusband to a wife 5 kid's and 3 cats as well as numerous fish I was looking for a way to work out as it is very hard for me to take time out and go down the gym or out for a run as I used to do on a regular basis whilst I was out working. Sitting at home as any Housewife or Husband can tell you doe's get a little boring after you have cleaned up and sorted the babies out so I find myself occasionally watching the QVC channels and those like it on the telly. I noticed the Lateral Thigh Trainer on an advert where you were getting the usual stories of I lost 14 stone in a week and I used to look like this but now I am as slim as a supermodel but even though I know this is a load of rubbish I was still very interested so I got onto my usual shopping channel good old EBay lol and found one on there...

Review of Tristar Lateral Thigh Trainer

A Breath of Fresh air: Powerlung Trainer

Advantages: increase in Aerobic performance, increase in lung capacity
Disadvantages: A touch expensive

...Fitness gadgets come and go and for the most part they are gimmicks dressed up to suggest a marked improvement in performance, whilst in reality they are not that useful. The Powerlung Trainer is different. It works and it works well. Respiratory training is not a new idea, but its intergration into the fitness industry has been quite slow. I'm guessing the main reason for that is advertising, because not many people I have trained have ever heard of it. It would certainly be more popular if people were aware of its effectiveness. So what is it and what does it do? HISTORY The powerlung was created by Barry Jarvis who in his youth was a competitive rower, but in his 40's suffered a debilitating heart attack. The result of his heart attack led to Barry not being able to do the things he used to regards his exercise. He found...

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...

Review of Willowdale Jolie Shoes

The Lateral Thigh Trainer is a MUST HAVE

Advantages: Needs very little space, targets thigh muscles and REALLY WORKS
Disadvantages: Some may find it very boring

...I happened to come across a T.V advert advertisting what seemed to be another very expensive, yet interesting peice of excercise equipment. So as usual in amazement I sat and watched the advert. It was for the Lateral Thigh Trainer. After having two children, my body never returned to its old self again, so I have been loooking around to try and find a cheap enough but effective excercise tool. So when the advert came on I was hooked and decided I had to get one and try it out. It was being advertised for 89.99 plus p&p, although it sounded goo, too good to be true infact i still thought it was very pricey. So I decided to go about getting one the "new fashion way as some would say" and look on the fabulous Ebay. Wow, there were so many, and I eventually brought myself a pink one for 19.99. Since buying the Lateral Thigh trainer I...
