"High" Fashion

2008-07-01T16:59:00.013-04:00

“I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot” – Marilyn Monroe

Since medieval times, women have subjected themselves to the pain of wearing high heels. A survey conducted in 2003 by the American Podiatric Medical Association found that 42% of women admitted to wearing uncomfortable shoes, primarily for style and 72% wore them to look more attractive (http://www.apma.org). However, with today’s innovations, wearing high heels should not equate to discomfort. Shoebuy.com has put together a list of tips on getting the perfect pair of high heels, some items you can buy to help ease the pain you feel with the pairs you already own, and some fun high heels that Shoebuy offers:

Finding the perfect pair

1. Since feet swell, always try on high heels at the end of the day.
2. When trying the shoe, make sure that there are no potential places where the shoe can rub and cause blisters, if there are, you may want to consider another shoe or you’ll suffer during the break-in period.
3. If you are looking for more stability, the thicker the heel, the better.
4. When you do find the right pair, wear them around the house for approximately an hour for several days until you feel comfortable to go out. If after a few days you are still having trouble breaking them in, rub a little water on the inside then put them on. Although this technique is not great for the shoes, it helps them mold to your feet.

Items that can help ease the pain
Even when the pain cannot be eased with the above techniques, there are some great products sold at Shoebuy that can help.

Foot Petals - Strut n' Style Kit

Dr. Rosenberg's - Instant Arches (3 pairs)

Dr. Rosenberg's Instant Arches® are made of a unique and durable closed-cell foam material which creates maximum support, comfort and cushion for your tired feet when wearing any type of heels, even open toe styles. It helps reduce foot pain resulting from plantar fascitis, pain in the ball of the foot, heel spurs, abnormal pronation, bunion pain and foot pain when standing for long periods of time. With its unique shape, one size fits all shoe styles and heel heights. A specially formulated adhesive allows adjustments in all shoes and prevents movement during normal wear.

Summer brings many happy and relaxing days. However, to some it also means the dreaded bathing suit season. What better time is there to shape up? Exercising doesn’t need to mean having to go to the gym every day; you can easily shape up with other activities such as yoga, tennis, baseball, basketball and hiking. Shoebuy.com has got you covered for all athletic shoes. Listed below are some great styles:

Comfort is what it is all about as the Nylite Canvas features a plush terry lining. Although traditionalists favor the tennis whites, the color contrasting Gullwing logo offers a modern twist.

Men's adidas Alvara

Fun, Fashionable Laptop Bags

2008-05-21T11:46:00.000-04:00

Today’s laptop cases are all about fashion and convenience. Women are no longer required to carry bulky black bags around town, and instead can complement their fashionable wardrobe with an equally fashionable bag. The best thing about these bags is that they don’t even look like they’re carrying a laptop, and could just as easily double as a purse, cute backpack or casual messenger bag. We’ve highlighted a few of our favorite new styles below.

Mobile Edge – The Madison Tote

In addition to the “traditional” laptop bag, laptop sleeves have become increasingly popular. We love that the Skooba Skin from RoadWired comes in a huge selection of colors. These sleeves can be carried on their own or placed within your laptop bag for extra protection. We’ve highlighted a couple of our laptop sleeves favorites below.
