Replica Watches – The Pros And Cons

July 6th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Footwear

It’s an irony of the 21st century that the more people want exclusivity, the less they can achieve it. Take the case of replica watches as an example. We all desire the expensive Swiss watches that we see advertised in all the glossy magazines. However, to maintain exclusivity, the Swiss watch makers deliberately overcharge by thousands simply to stop normal people like us wearing them. By taking them out of the reach of normal people, the watch makers believe that only the super rich will buy them and this will maintain the clique.

However, there is an easy way round this. Put simply, why spend thousands on the real article which is priced to stop you buying it, when replica watches cost generally less than $200? The normal person on the street can gain the prestige and exclusivity that comes of wearing one of these watches without having to re-mortgage the house. We get the same accuracy, the same looks, and the same material as the genuine article, without having to spend a fortune on companies who would rather we didn’t buy from them.

And, if the sales figures are to be believed, most people would agree with this. Sales in replica watches far outstrips the sales of the originals. Everyone wants their very own Rolex, Cartier, or Breitling, but can only afford to pay $200 instead of $7000. And with the plethora of places offering replica watches these days, it’s never been easier to get your hands on one.

Designer Shoes And Why Nothing Can Beat Them

July 6th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Footwear

As a straight guy you wouldn’t expect me to get that into designer shoes. However, I have to confess that I’m absolutely obsessed by them. There’s nothing like going to work in a pair of Prada shoes that really makes my whole day. It’s strange, especially as I’m not really into any other item of designer clothes. My jeans are from the supermarket, my sunglasses have no brand on them at all, and my suits are cheap and shiny. But my shoes are special. No matter whether it’s at work, shopping in town, or just watching TV at home, I always have on the best shoes possible.

I can’t exactly explain why I love shoes so much. It might be due to the fact that, unlike some other types of clothing, shoes are much more discrete. Having a pair of Gucci shoes is not like wearing a T-Shirt with Calvin Klein written large for everyone to see. It might be something to do with the fact that I’m on my feet all day, and my impeccable (if possibly slightly flawed logic) is that if I’m going to spend money on something I wear, then shoes make the most sense. But at the end of the day, there is no logic to it. I wear them because I love them, and maybe because I feel that women shouldn’t have all the fun. You might think I’m strange, and maybe you’d be right, but I don’t think I’m the only straight guy out there who likes having some shoes that are a cut above the average.

Sheepskin Shoes – Looking Good And Keeping Warm

July 6th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Footwear

There is something wonderful about sheepskin footwear like the type produced by Ugg boots. It’s such a simple idea when you think about it, but one that wouldn’t have occurred to me. Of course sheepskin boots have been around for a long time. They have been really popular in northern latitudes, where the cold winters and the need for wool anyway meant that sheep were bred, and the wool was inevitably used in footwear.

The modern type of sheepskin boot, like the Ugg Australia classic tall boot, only came about at the beginning of the twentieth century. Aeroplanes in those days weren’t heated or pressurised, and pilots had to endure long periods of sub-zero temperature. The sheepskin boot was re-invented, and eagerly seized on by the pilots and crews of planes, and the status of sheepskin boots grew exponentially.

After the second world war, the sheepskin boot was used a lot by the surfers on the Pacific West Coast and in Hawaii. Long hours spent in the water could mean that you would rapid get cold once you came out. The amazing thermal qualities of wool and sheepskin would heat you up far better than any other type of footwear which made them first choice for surfers and swimmers.

Nowadays, they’ve become a global fashion accessory, and not just because they are better than anything else at keeping you warm and comfortable. For those of you who are looking to get one, you really want to check out the Ugg sale. Once you buy one pair, you’ll never look back.

The Most Important Item Of Clothing? Shoes!

July 6th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Footwear

There is something about having nice shoes that all of us adore. Something to do with the perfection of a perfect pair of Louis Vuitton shoes that just makes the day worthwhile. Everyone seems to do this. You will see people who will make long detours on their route home just to be able to stare into a shop window for hours on end at the latest brand of Chanel shoes. Or maybe we pass the time through boring meetings by staring at our shoes and thinking how much nicer they are to everybody else’s in the room. It’s become almost to the point where keeping up with the Jones is conducted solely by footwear. And there is valid reason for making shoes the primary love of your life. When you think about it, we’re on our feet fifteen or sixteen hours a day. Our feet are subjected to stairs, roads, and anything else that goes on in our day. And we all know just how painful a cheap or ill-fitting pair of shoes really is. Repeated wearing of ill-fitting footwear could even cause permanent damage to the spine, leaving us crippled in later life. So we take care, and pamper ourselves with the best shoes we can afford.

It doesn’t matter that that pair of Coach shoes we really want costs about the same as weekend in Vegas, we still want them. And we’ll have them. Because there really is nothing quite like a really fabulous pair of shoes.

Air Force One – The Most Popular Shoes Ever Made?

July 6th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Footwear

Air Force One have to be the best of all the brands of sports shoes out there. Air Force One shoes match what we do perfectly, especially if you’re a normal or average guy who does a bit of sport, but isn’t a professional sports player. The best ones have to be the Air Force 1 low shoes, which fit perfectly. The design and fit cannot be beaten. Their shoes are supremely comfortable, colorful, incredibly cool, stylish, and great as sportswear or street-wear.

It has always been difficult for most of us guys to buy good shoes. Who of us wants to wear your average black or brown shoes at the weekend? They’re restrictive, and to be honest, they look like the kind of thing our father would wear. Sports shoes and trainers are always much more comfortable, and what we prefer wearing when we’re not at work. The trouble is that although we do a bit of sports, we don’t really want to be seen wearing the kind of trainers that are designed purely for function with absolutely no thought put into style. That’s why Air Force One is so fantastic. Seriously, go check out their website. The colors are vibrant, fresh, and the style itself is a great fusion of street and sports fashion.

Compared to all the other brands out there, there is nothing to rival Air Force One. They look great, they feel great, and they work great. I would really recommend you check out the Air Force One sale on their website now. They really are that good.

Why Nike Are Still Top After All These Years

July 6th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Fashion, Footwear

It’s fair to say that Nike Air Jordan shoes have been one of the best selling shoes of all time.Nike first released their Air Jordans for sale in 1984, and it all took off from there. The shoe did almost more than anything else to change Nike’s image away from the “white man’s jogging shoe” and cement their reputation as being one of the top shoes for basketball, and leisurewear in general. They also changed the traditional color of basketball shoes from white to whatever color you want. This came originally at a cost to Nike, as the NBA banned the Air Jordan (and the Nike Dunk) from its matches, and fined any player wearing them $5000 per match. Michael Jordan was notable in his flouting of the rules, and his fines were met by Nike, who, it must be said, probably recouped far more back in shoe sales. Nike never looked backed after that, and the shoe today is in its 18th incarnation, with sales running into the millions (not bad at $190+ per pair). Nike as a brand rose solely on the shoes and escaped the financial troubles they had in the early 80s due to its image change from the Air Jordan shoes.

Today, even after 25 years, they’re still one of the best selling shoes around. Very few of the people wearing Air Jordan shoes actually play basketball, but it gives the aspiration to people, and the feel that they can buy in to the whole culture helped by Nike.
