Crocs going Broke
The news is not all gloom and misery. There is a ray of sunshine. Crocs are going down the drain. The company that manufactured possibly the most hideous shoes in the world is now facing closure.
In 2007, Crocs made a profit of $168.2million. Last year, they lost $185.1million. Their stock price has plummeted 76 per cent. The auditors are wondering if they will manage to stay afloat.

Oakley Golf Shoes
Oakley is known for it's high standards. They've got some of the most reliable athletic gear available, always opting for the best performance possible so that their athletes can be at their best. If you haven't figured out your perfect brand, and you just want something to start with, until you really figure out what feels perfect to you, consider going for the Oakley Shoes.
Though I warn you, after you you try an Oakley product, you might fall in love and decide to never try another brand again!
The reason Oakley does so well is because they always try to think like an athlete - do you want shoes that were designed with the industry standard in mind, or would you like shoes designed with the athlete in mind? Instead of doing what everyone else does, Oakley Shoes are designed to be something that a Golfer would like to wear on the course. That means things like moisture-wicking climage control, shock absorption (to go easy on those knees!), a one year warranty on waterproofing and an over all comfortable feel.

Shoe Repair Boost
A TRADITIONAL Yorkshire shoe seller and repairer is expanding despite the recession, as hard-pressed shoppers choose to have their boots fixed rather than replaced.
Family firm Craggs, established 76 years ago when the one-legged Tom Craggs took over a failing Leeds shoe business, is now expanding in Yorkshire on the back of new business in stores and online.
Its expansion has been driven, in part, by an increase in demand for repairs to smart and casual shoes, hiking and riding boots and boots made by Ugg, known for being durable.
Shoppers pay up to £160 for a pair of new Ugg boots but can have them repaired for just a fraction of that figure. The firm began doing Ugg repairs in November 2007 and then set up a website, which has led to customers sending them boots from across Europe. The firm expects turnover for the 12 months ending September this year to reach £1m, with shoe repairing accounting for about 70 per cent of that. Income generated from the website has been ploughed back into business, helping to fund Craggs, expansion.
Analysts have predicted that Britain will experience some modest economic growth next year, which could spell the end of shoppers' current taste for thrift, but Mr Forbes said he was not worried that people would give up having their shoes repaired."If people are realising that they can get their shoes repaired, it will create a demand for the future. If they are happy with the repair, we will get more of a customer base."

Gladiator shoes
Gladiator shoes are the perfect combination of both durability and style. It is quite impossible to think of any other shoes that have those features while maintaining a natural look. These shoes break entire fashion barriers and offer such huge range of designs, which on the one hand are very good looking, and on the other hand are durable enough to bear the extreme conditions.
Gladiator shoes are basically made from animal skin like snake, cow or zebra. The gladiator sandals are very old fashioned, but with the advents of technology and fashion, they have now become the best option for women who seek style and comfort. These sandals have become the latest trend in the market.
In the past, gladiator shoes were being considered old fashioned due to various colors and accessories that are being used to manufacture them. Nowadays, with the help of some genius shoe designers, gladiator shoes have received a total makeover and have revamped to become a must-have accessory for every woman all around the world.
The best advantage of these sandals is that they are made of the natural materials. Most shoemakers avoid using any synthetic material. Using synthetic material can be very harmful for the feet, as it is very uncomfortable and can cause infections. Animal skin on the other hand, is very comfortable and rarely causes any infections or discomfort on the feet of the person wearing it.
It was always logical that a shoe made of animal skin is going to be very comfortable and durable, but for some reason, it was not conceived as a possible idea from our shoe designers. Not until the gladiator sandals hit the market, which are very durable and will last even if they are to be used extensively. Durability is one of the major reasons behind the popularity of gladiator shoes. The only drawback of my favorite shoes is that they can be quite costly when compared to an artificial product. The scarcity of animal skin is the cause behind the hefty price tag that we need to pay to own those gems.
You can easily compare the prices of different designer gladiator shoes online. There are several websites, which sell fashionable and designer gladiator sandals. They offer you a huge range of shoes to choose from. You can easily go through them and opt for the one which offers both comfort and durability while it goes hand in hand with your personality.
You shouldn’t think twice about buying gladiator shoes – you should actually be in a hurry to have a pair for your feet. These beauties are in demand and very difficult to get. Think of it as a gift to your feet, but most importantly… yourself!

M&S poor-fitting shoes
M&S appears to have put its foot in it again, as its own shareholders take the store to task over the cut of its slingbacks.
Women are complaining that it is impossible to find a fashionable choice that fits or provides the style and comfort expected.
Anger about the poor-fitting shoes, lacklustre men's shorts and a shortage of thermal underwear peppered exchanges at the M&S annual general meeting yesterday.
Mrs Girsman's daughter, Liz Saul, complained that it was difficult to find larger - size eight - shoes for women in M&S outlets.
The 31-year-old broadcaster from West London said: 'Even if you can find a size eight shoe, they tend to be Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1198450/M-S-takes-kicking-ladies-shoes-simply-dont-fit.html#ixzz0LKEdT3Jz&C

Women get on their running shoe
MORE than 2,000 runners, walkers, and an army of volunteers packed the park at the discovery centre in Great Notley, near Braintree, to take part and cheer on those in the Race for Life.
Fortunately the weather cooled as women, many in fancy dress, joined to cover the five kilometre route.
It was an emotional start as organisers asked the crowd to pause to remember their loved ones who have been affected by cancer.
But the atmosphere remained buoyant, as children and even some dogs joined in the family event.

'Emergency shoes' go stateside
The inventor of Rollasoles is set to launch the vending machine shoes in America.
The roll-up flat shoes give relief to women who've spent the night partying in heels and want to give their feet a rest on the way home.
27-year-old Matt Horan came up with the concept after being made redundant from his job on a cruise ship in 2008.
Ibiza super-clubs Eden and Space have sold out of Rollasoles and celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has championed the shoes on his site.
Gary Lineker and Danielle Bux are even reportedly having personalised Rollasoles at their wedding.
Horan, from Bristol, thought of the idea after his girlfriend kept complaining about sore feet after nights out.
"After getting tired of giving my girlfriend a piggyback home every Saturday night, I had a 'eureka' moment," he said.

freaky shoes!
We're used to seeing weird and wacky footwear on the soles of female models and celebs, but it isn't often you find anything this freaky of the feet of a man. These bizarre, jodhpur boot/stiletto hybrids made their debut earlier today on the catwalk in Berlin. They're by designer Marcel Ostertag, who also clearly likes his male models in short leggings and silk dresses worn as shirts. We like how the model wearing them is looking SO excited to be there, but we also think he looks slightly like an awkward ballerina trying to balance in those boots. Would you ever buy a pair of these for your other half or yourself? Vote below and let us know.
Scott All Mountain Shoes
The All Mountain mixes protection and comfort but in the demi-boot shape pioneered by the Specialized Trail 110.
The futuristic looking Ergologic upper is made from sturdy manmade leather with seriously tough plastic protection in the toe and heel areas. It’s not for show either, as we’ve belted rocks clean across the trail using the toecap of the All Mountain with no lasting ill effects to foot or shoe.
The fit is as good as any triple Velcro strap shoe thanks to a really well-cut upper that’s tough and rugged. It’s not as stiff as a race offering, but that’s fine for this sort of shoe. The high ankle guard protects against bashes from the cranks and makes this an ideal shoe for those with bony or weak ankles.
A perfect shoe for year-round trail attacks.
