Perhaps the biggest and worst shoe fad in recent history had to be the platform shoe.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Platform shoes caused many broken and sprained ankles as people walked around on what were basically stilts.&nbsp; Platform shoes reached their height of fashion and maximum inches in he 1970's, but each decade that follows a similar shoe peeks it way back into the fashion world -- only to remind us why we stopped wearing them in the first place.&nbsp;</p> <p><em>Here are some current shoe fads you may want to avoid... </em></p><p><a href="http://feet.thefuntimesguide.com/2009/04/dangerous_shoe_fads.php"><b>Continue reading...</b></a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Ts87m7aySagBXmVKocEJAj_kBdg/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Ts87m7aySagBXmVKocEJAj_kBdg/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Ts87m7aySagBXmVKocEJAj_kBdg/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Ts87m7aySagBXmVKocEJAj_kBdg/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFunTimesGuideToFeet?a=UJLI_tf7EmI:nbkzcs9UVzM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFunTimesGuideToFeet?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFunTimesGuideToFeet?a=UJLI_tf7EmI:nbkzcs9UVzM:bcOpcFrp8Mo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFunTimesGuideToFeet?d=bcOpcFrp8Mo" border="0"></img></a> </div> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheFunTimesGuideToFeet/~3/UJLI_tf7EmI/dangerous_shoe_fads.php http://feet.thefuntimesguide.com/2009/04/dangerous_shoe_fads.php Cool Shoes, Socks & Slippers foot ailments shoes Mon, 06 Apr 2009 08:16:45 -0600 http://feet.thefuntimesguide.com/2009/04/dangerous_shoe_fads.php <p><a href="http://feet.thefuntimesguide.com/images/blogs/ped-egg.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="My wife's new Ped Egg. photo by Curtis at TheFunTimesGuide.com"><img width="280" height="210" align="right" src="http://feet.thefuntimesguide.com/images/blogs/ped-egg-thumb-280x210-7812.jpg" alt="ped-egg.jpg" title="My wife's new Ped Egg. photo by Curtis at TheFunTimesGuide.com" /></a> This year for Christmas my wife asked for only one thing.

So what is a mother to do?&nbsp;</p> <p>Well, there is an organization called <a href="http://www.soles4souls.org/" target="_blank">Soles4Souls</a> that will gladly take your gently worn shoes in order to help people in need of shoes.&nbsp;</p> <blockquote> <p><img height="36" width="38" alt="" src="http://dogs.thefuntimesguide.com/images/big-gray-quote.jpg" />Soles4Souls makes it easy to help those in need. Its mission is simple. It wants to help people in need with the gift of shoes ... It is a nonprofit, so your donations are tax deductible. Or, if you'd prefer, you can donate your old shoes at a number of locations. Check the site for a drop near you. Want to make a bigger impact? Organize a shoe drive. It's the perfect way to get your community involved in helping others! -- <a href="http://komando.com" target="_blank">Kim Komando</a></p> </blockquote><p><a href="http://feet.thefuntimesguide.com/2008/12/shoe_donation.php"><b>Continue reading...</b></a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hQu8ILC6Jd70EXg4izlwGvFJOc4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hQu8ILC6Jd70EXg4izlwGvFJOc4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hQu8ILC6Jd70EXg4izlwGvFJOc4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hQu8ILC6Jd70EXg4izlwGvFJOc4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFunTimesGuideToFeet?a=MFSzY55C3A8:m8zeBDsbYpU:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFunTimesGuideToFeet?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFunTimesGuideToFeet?a=MFSzY55C3A8:m8zeBDsbYpU:bcOpcFrp8Mo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheFunTimesGuideToFeet?d=bcOpcFrp8Mo" border="0"></img></a> </div> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheFunTimesGuideToFeet/~3/MFSzY55C3A8/shoe_donation.php http://feet.thefuntimesguide.com/2008/12/shoe_donation.php Cool Shoes, Socks & Slippers shoes Sat, 20 Dec 2008 09:58:56 -0600 http://feet.thefuntimesguide.com/2008/12/shoe_donation.php
