Happy Feet One Step at a Time

Gladiator Shoes.  You know, worn by Charlton Heston?  Do we just need to be spoon-fed new "fashion" ideas and we’re off like a prom dress?  Are these shoes flattering?  Gladiator shoes effectively separate your foot from your leg, and you have a chopped-up look. What do you think?   Hmm.  Here are more opinions; look at the photos, and tell me they don’t look like surgical braces.

UPDATE: Gladiator Sandals are here!

67% of you said you would wear Gladiator shoes! And i know, many of you have been itching to wear one! We’ve been searching high and low for these babies, and finally! We found a e-shop selling it:). We’ve been stalking Shopaholics …

GLADIATOR SHOES

NINE WEST "HEECH". Because of my recent loss, I decided to engage in retail therapy. I bought these… I’m having the hardest time trying to make these things coordinate with my wardrobe. I see the Olsen twins wearing them and they make …

Gladiator Shoes!

Another trend for this summer is gladiator shoes. I saw them couple years ago or maybe even last year, Naomi Campbell but it’s not until this year that it actually became a great trend! There different ones from knee high, flats, …

Honestly, if Gladiator shoes work for you, go for it!  I just have found I don’t  like more than one strap around my ankle.  If I can’t get into a shoe (or out of it) in less than a minute…I have to be honest.  Those shoes will probably live on a shelf in my closet. Then again, I was the girl who wore a short skirt, no matter what! If it looks good…

From Tom Ford

The "Yoga Toes review "search continues;   there seems to be a lot of people trying to relieve foot pain, and they must be wondering:

1. Do Yoga Toes work?
2. Are Yoga Toes worth the price?

The first review on May 11 was fair, IMHO.  There is no doubt that Yoga Toes could feel good to wear because of the toe stretch they induce.  Plus you get to sit around (Yoga Toes are not to be worn while walking).  But to actually change the shape of a foot?

There was a local news story about them, and I was pretty amazed to see a female attorney interviewed who thought her deformed feet were going to straighten by wearing gel pads.

Don’t get me wrong; I wish they would work.  I have a bunion of my own that I would wish away for $40!  But wishing won’t make it happen, folks.

Do people believe in Yoga Toes because they think they are like braces worn on teeth?  Then there’s the name "Yoga" thrown in; what do these have to do with Yoga?  I keep picturing some out of shape person lying on a sofa…"Look, I’m working out my feet with these Yoga Toes.  Working real hard."

A Yoga Toe Athlete:
