The Dr.Scholl’s Massaging Gel Insoles offers a case of two packages, each containing one pair of shoe inserts (total of 2 pairs) for purposes of adding a layer of comfort and protection to the hard pounding and seemingly endless poounding our feet can take. In the end, these rather simple items provide extreme cushioning and shock absorption, comfort from heel to toe to take some of the load off. They can be trimmed for a true custom fit. Items such as these exist in the land between real orthotics and simple solutions for serious walkers, runners and sports people. The simplicity is a well-designed sort, made for increasing comfort and extending shoe life. These are an inexpensive and quite often a perfect solution to tired, sore feet.

The Newport H2 Full Sandal offer a sandal and hiking shoe which no one can seem to praise enough. Durable, comfortable, airy, light and water-friendly, hiking may never be the same after encountering these gorgeously funky-looking sandals. Naturally, they do come in other colors, by the way. Just the same, these are so well-designed, many people use them as “knock-around’s” around the house, particular for sufferers of plantar faciatis. They are remarkably comfortable, incredible easy to put on and take off and – most importantly of all – they last forever, providing a comfort and durability not found in other shoes. This, ladies, is a remarkable shoe!

The adidas Men’s Low Cut Athletic Sock is a very cool (in lots of ways!) and very lightweight athletic sock composed of a Polyester/Linen/Olefin/Natural Latex/Spandex retinue of fabrics which are designed not only to form fit over a long period of use but also to hold color. The half cushion cotton low cut and welt cuff adds durability by design, having been engineered by the Addidas brand of sports apparel experts, qualified by their decades of experience. The Knit-in 3-bars on cuff add a splash of branding, if not flair, making it a completely attractive and very efficient men’s athletic sock.

Skecher’s Women’s Shape Ups Strength Fitness Walking Sneaker are currently ranked in the top 10 sellers of all women’s shoes. The reason for this is many-fold, actually, but one can safely assume technology has once again delivered a well-designed piece of footwear, geared toward maximizing the utility and the performance of footwear. These Shape Ups are the result of engineering which tried to reflect what walking on “soft ground” would be like, while doing just the opposite in reality. Among the achievements most sought and arguably very much delivered on are the following: Promote weight loss, strengthen the back, firm calf and buttock muscles, reduce cellulite and tone thighs, increase cardiovascular health, improve posture, and reduce stress on knee and ankle joints.
At this point, owing to the complexity of this footwear technology and my own inability to improve on what the product information page delivers in terms of sheer volume of information and simplicity, allow me to refer you to the site itself. Click below.

The Pearl iZUMi Men’s X-Alp Seek Men’s Cycling Shoe is actually a combination shoe, designed for serious recreational cycling but also for walking as well. Because of the nylon plate on its lugged outsole enabling excellent pedaling power, the flexible forefoot and beveled heel make it a great running shoe in its own right. It also has a low-cut, mesh upper for its light fit, light weight and superior breathablility.
Overall, the Nylon X-Alp Ride & Run Plate makes for both an easy hike-a-bike and great pedaling power transfer. The low cut construction allows for a light, fast fit and feel and its quick drying, highly breathable mesh/synthetic upper delivers comfort and breathability.
From their website: “Pearl iZUMi products are created based on a philosophy of no complexity and no compromise.”
It is hard to argue, frankly. They produced a shoe here with adaptability which veered very substantially from some old shoe “truisms” concerning adapting bike shoes to the ground itslf. This is a literal cross-training shoe for yet a different sport. I really like this shoe.

This Men’s Merrell Moab Ventilator Mid hiking shoe is one of the most highly-rated shoes available in its class. The user reviews for this shoe are practically off the charts. Combining amazing high tech solutions and composites, the engineering of this shoe yields a blister-free, ‘no-hot-spot’ hike on the roughest terrains available in an already-broken-in-shoe. Pretty stunning stuff, honestly. A Dura leather/synthetic mesh gives a breathable Ventilator Mesh Upper to allow air and breathable along with tight-fitting comfort. The breathable mesh lining is treated with Aegis® Antimicrobial solution which totally maintains foot comfort. The also-breathable ventilator ‘Bellows Tongue’ keeps a secure upper edge, keeping debris out completely. A rubber toe bumper/heel counter and the compression molded EVA Footframe combine with the molded nylon arch shank “ and the compression molded EVA footframe providing cushioning.” Merrell® air cushion in the heel absorbs shock and adds stability. This is a heck of a shoe.
