In case you haven’t already heard the news (or seen the TV commercials running), Gap has jumped headfirst into the online shoes fray with their new Piperlime website. I’m a bit confused by the name, but I guess they wanted something that sounds “freshly picked” and lime certainly fits …

I’d forgotten to post about the Converse Shoe Creator which is a Flash-based program on the Converse website that is similar to the Vans Custom Shoe Builder we posted about earlier. You get to choose between a blank Chuck Taylor All-Star (a variety are available), Jack Purcell, or Premeire …

Ever pay $350 for a shoe? Come on, I know you have. Ok, but how about for a sneaker? I see fewer hands in the air this time.

That’s right, this is a limited edition skate type shoe being put out by DC Shoes and New Era Sports …

I have several “shoe” news feeds that are centralized on MyYahoo page so I can get updated on the latest things that happen in the shoe world. It’s somewhat of a sad commentary on the state of the world today, but nearly ALL of the major items that come in …

The current issue of National Geographic has a great feature called “Every Shoe Tells A Story” which highlights the importance of shoes in our lives and culture through 11 different footwear examples from around the world.

One of the shoes featured are these ancient sandals made out of sagebrush bark that …

Hey gals, here’s your chance to turn heads by going topless. Ok, so it’s your feet that will be topless, but just hear me out. So, I’d seen this funky footpiece from Topless Sandals awhile back but I forgot to post about it until today. I know …

This is another story that I think I’ll file under “Believe It When I See It.” First, a disclaimer: I know exactly Jack about basketball and basketball shoes. The only thing I know is that they are hell of expensive because I hear my friends talking about them …

I must admit this was a nice change from reading about all these Shoe Thieves and Shoe Bandits in the news lately. I found a couple of news items about the Nike Reuse-A-Shoe program which seems like a great way to recycle your old athletic shoes. They accept …

Hmm… we seem to have had a lot of posts lately to do with paper shoes but I swear it’s just coincidence. So, here’s one more for you. I came across these Paper Baby Booties while surfing around on the Paper Source website. This is a kit to …

That’s right: Shoes where you customize the top like a cellphone plate. I guess it was only a matter of time before someone really ran with the idea. These are called Onesole and are made by the company Quick Change Artist. The philosophy here is that the part of …

Here’s a little tidbit: I actually had no idea that Gap.com doesn’t really sell shoes online at their site. Well, actually they do (for instance they have a special $6.99 on select flip flops exclusively at Gap.com. and there are various other flats, wedges, and sneakers).

But I think …

For those who are thinking of mailing out a pair of shoes for repair, return or as a gift, you might be interested in the new Priority Mail Shoe Boxes from the USPS. I had no idea that the Postal Service was so amenable to shoes, but their latest …

Desiree Stimpert, who is About.com’s Guide to Shoes, was kind enough to link to Shoe -n- Tell the other day. I just wanted to let everyone know what a great shoe resource her site is. I’m constantly finding interesting shoe links and articles there. Desiree is quite the …

I’m usually not such a big fan of shoe websites that are heavy on Flash… and I particularly think it’s poor usability practice to make the actual NAVIGATION in Flash. Hello, what happens if you are blocking it (as many Firefoxers are)?

But there are a few places where I’ll …

… on your shoes? I really hate stepping on any foreign sticky material with shoes, but gum can be one of the worst things. I was curious about the different methods of removing gum from the soles of shoes so I did some research online and decided to …
