CUTE CROCS

Now that is something that I would never have expected that I would say – or even think!

Today, I saw a pair of cute Crocs. They were green and looked adorable. I have to admit the size of the Crocs had a lot to do with their ‘cuteness.’green crocs A cute little toddler girl had on green Crocs with a face built into the shoe. Both the shoes and the toddler were adorable!

I realize that there are a lot of people who swear by the comfort of their Crocs.  But for me, I can’t try them on for the experience, because I can’t imagine looking down and seeing them on my beautiful feet.

I am waiting for a Croc that appeals to my aesthetic – and then I will have to try them!

Shoes at the Chgo Football Classic

The Football Classic is a Chicago Classic.  Most of the party is in the hallways of the Suites and in the Parking Lot.  The battle of the bands gets the most fan attention.  And lots of people come out.  There are so many people to reacquaint with and new people to meet, that sometimes I forgot to take pictures.  HPIM0393  HPIM0417

These are the first shoes and the last shoes of the day.

The men in Chicago also pride themselves on having really stylish shoes!  The slacks were also something to see, but we were really only shooting pictures of shoes.  Except for the black leather/vinyl leggings! (She looked Great!)

The shoes ran the gamut – flats, sandals, boots, shooties, sequined heels, and of course  pumps!

The following shoes are my favorites from the day.  Now understand, all of the shoes I photographed stood out on their own. 

So, thanks and congratulations to all of the Shoe Aficionados.  Sorry about the picture of the man’s shoe, the toe of the shoes had a nice angle.  Which one is your favorite.  Feel Free to leave a comment voting for your favorite!!!!.    HPIM0397HPIM0422HPIM0402

Thanks to the Barefoot Drivers!

I just wanted to say “Thank You” to all of the Barefoot Drivers.  No, I am not happy that you are not a customer.  A Heel Shield is a much better option than driving barefoot – keeps the inside and outside of the shoe clean. 

And, barefoot drivers probably don’t realize that along with the dirt from their car mats (that is going into the ‘shoes they are trying to save’) are thousands  of bacteria.  And, we all know what bacteria does in dark damp places! 

I realize that  for years you have tried all sorts of things to protect the outside of your shoe, (towels and special mats) – but Heel Shields weren’t invented yet.  So you settled on barefoot driving.  I am sorry that the inside of your shoes may have an odor and the inside not look so good.  I am sorry it took so long to get Heel Shields on the market.  But I thank you for validating the need for Heel Shields by taking off your shoes to PROTECT YOUR SHOE INVESTMENT!

The Cobbler and The Heel Shield

I stopped by my cobbler’s  shop today with my Magic Marketing Master to see if he  could coerce The Cobbler into starring in a video about Heel Shields

Prior to stopping by, my cobber was unaware of my product and probably didn’t remember me either (but that is another story).

Anyway MMM (Magic Marketing Master) asked the cobbler  about repairing the shoe having BLACK HEEL (the damage to the rear of the shoe caused by UNPROTECTED driving).  The Cobbler stated: “we can clean them but the place where the leather is damaged – CAN’T BE REPAIRED.  

The Cobbler went on to tell us about how in the past he carried items that were placed on the car mats – but he eventually stopped carrying them – BECAUSE – they didn’t work. 

The Cobbler was quite skeptical about the Heel Shield at first.  SOOOO, I showed him how the Heel Shield would fit on the damaged shoe.  THEN, I put the same Heel Shield on the boot of the MMM and back on the ladies high heel.  HE WAS SOLD!

The Cobbler placed an order on the spot!  Still we couldn’t get The Cobbler to do the video – OH WELL!

Uggs – Bet you didn’t know

Ladies, I bet you didn’t know (American Ladies that is) that Uggs were created for “after surfing.”  Uggs are not a WINTER boot after all!  Uggs are for use all year long.

Stop laughing, that is one of the myths that Whooga Boots wants to clear up.  Uggs are not for SNOW!   In fact, my take on what I read is -  Uggs are just  tall house shoes.  (I personally will be getting a new pair just for the snow in Chicago this winter.)

Now, let me tell you, when I first saw them I said – YIKES! BUT they look like good snow boots.  When I heard that you wear them barefoot – I really got excited because of how warm they keep your feet (real Uggs won’t stink if you keep your feet clean – NO DRIVING BAREFOOT) 

Whooga has the best price for Uggs that I have seen.  Whooga is an Australian company that ships to the US. 

One more thing I have to mention – Heel Shields will fit on your Uggs.  Using a Heel Shield when you drive will ensure you don’t get BLACK HEEL (unprotected driving syndrome) on your Uggs!

THE BOOT for Fall - OTK

This fall, the hot boot for the season will be the Over-The-Knee boot.  Christian Louboutin and Prada have created some “to die for” (can I still use that phrase) boots for this season.  And the Style war rages!

As you can see, the days of “swash buckling” OTK boots is gone.  We no longer have to look like pirates.  Even though I have seen a few boots that look back towards the old style.  But here is a OTK Biker Boot even a square girl could love!

Each of these boots should come with a Heel Shield!  It is impossible to take these Thousand Dollar boots off in the car in order to prevent getting Black Heel stains while driving.

Heel Shields SAVE Joan Rivers’ Chanel's!

On my last trip back from Chicago to Phoenix, I was in the rear of the plane. As I stepped into the terminal, I saw a woman, a man and a little girl standing by the door.  I looked – the woman looked like Joan Rivers.  joanriver  photo credit  TVLand

Well,  I had to stop and see if it really was Joan Rivers – IT WAS!   I have to tell you SHE LOOKS GOOD!    So, I spoke to her, let her know that my sister and I had watched her on Celebrity Apprentice, blah, blah, blah. 

The best part of this story for me is Joan Rivers accepted two Heel Shields – one for her and one for her daughter Melissa.  After using her Heel Shield in a rented SUV (JOAN RIVERS TOOK HER HEEL SHIELD WITH HER WHILE TRAVELLING); I received an email THANKING ME FOR HER HEEL SHIELD!  Now, that is really cool!
