Friday Shoe Day: The Athlete in you...I'm sure it's there...somewhere.

I realize that this is the time of year when everyone regrets all of the binging they did since November. And thus begins the conscious decision to "get in shape" or "be healthy" or to be a "MILF". The latter is my aspiration. I'm just being honest. So in honor of New Years Resolutions everywhere, I present to you this Friday, athletics(stop sighing.)



So let's face it, no one decides to be in shape and starts running 5 miles the next day, baby steps people, baby steps. That's why I found you the cutest walking shoe known to man...woman. It's the New Balance 644 women's walking shoe and it has a ton of cool features including: a cushioning in both the heel and forefoot for exceptional shock absorption and mid foot support that reduces the weight of the shoe(umm, yeah, I just copied that off the web, I don't like know that off the top of my head). I have a fondness for NB, they are my all time favorite athletic shoe...yes better than Nike. These shoes are so cute too! The tan and light blue, so chic. This gorgeous walking shoe is $69.95ish...look around it could be on sale somewhere in the online community.
My next shoe is for the girl who's past the walking point...and who isn't. Ok, I'm not but this is for the one who is. It's a NB running shoe and it is soooo cool looking. I love green. Some people don't and I don't care, you can find your own NB running shoe. I only put shoes up that I would actually where if I could afford them. These I would definitely where but I can definitely not afford them...nor would I buy them because I'm at the walking stage not the running stage. Anyway, they are frickin' sweet(I know that totally sounded like a 7th grade boy but I have a headache and I'm in a hurry). These too have all the neat features any NB shoe has but they will run you a cool $134.95. Yikes, but I'm going to have to say it would be well worth the money if you run. As we all know not everyone likes to exercise the same way, so I thought what else do people do that doesn't involve using either a walking or a running shoes(those two shoes cover almost every exercise) and I thought to myself, self, what about people who like to be outdoors, I bet they like to hike! Even if you don't I bet you like the thought of hiking, I do, I don't think I would do it but I'd like to think I would. These are hiking shoes, in a super cute color...they come in a range of colors believe it or not but I like these the best. They are Asolo Lunar Trail hiking shoes and the are $64.95. Enjoy the great outdoors, who knows how much longer they'll actually be great.

So I thought for the .01% who read this that are actually in shape OR who say they want to be in shape but don't actually mean it or intend to do anything about it I give you a cute athletic that is non-functional. It's just pretty to look at. You can find a variety of these shoes at Payless, they are either the Champion or Airwalk. I chose a Champion at $24.99. These would look cute with your jeans, like maybe your athletic but no one really knows, it's a good facade. And last but not least, I actually really love this look. They make them in cheap brands too but I think that Sketchers coined the look so I thought I'd give them props by showing one of their own. And it's a cute one. It's a take on a maryjane/biking shoe/athletic. They are so cute. Plus you kind of look like an adorable hard core woman, and who doesn't want to look adorably hard core. I know I do. These little ladies are $55.00.
So whether or not you plan on sticking to your goal to lose weight, always remember that you should at least try for two weeks straight, and if you miss a day you have to start your two weeks over again and the most important thing of all to remember, No matter how fat you get shoes will always fit you.
