Saucony is back to BuyAndWalk with the hottest and trendiest shoes!

by Paola Corbo on in 100% Shoes, New Arrivals, News

Saucony was born in 1898 at Kutztown, Pennsylvania, on the high banks of the Saucony Creek, hence the name. It’s pretty much fair to say they run a long way to get to the top, to the very top.  They specialize in running shoes for any trail and weather, and are constantly brining new technologies and designs to the professional runner as well to the casual athlete.

Do you need running shoes? Saucony has your back! What about cross country racing shoes? Yeap, they’ve got it. It’s a well known brand that not only means style but performance. Every shoe will fit and adjust to your very feet complexion; each model is unique and will grant special perks.  They have covered your arch type, foot size, pronation and the surface you will work these beauties on.

We are very proud to announce that we are bringing the just out of the box collection of Saucony to the BuyAndWalk family. I strongly recommend you to get a pair, and experience firsthand a top notch brand. You already know that if you don’t like it, you don’t have to keep it. So why don’t you give it a try and explore new lands with the new Saucony line? Only in BuyAndWalk, people!

R.I.P. Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, 1955-2011

by Paola Corbo on in News

SteveJobs

Picture available in the official Apple website.

“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Steve Jobs

1955-2011

You could say that Steve Jobs was the Willy Wonka of electronics and brilliant devices. Every few months he would surprise us and pop out of his secret magical tech savvy factory and idea or dispositive that would excite us like we were 5 years old again.

Most of his creations were the equivalent to that Super Nintendo behind the Christmas tree; he rarely ever disappointed any of his fans. Not only he was a foundation and compass for Apple, but he also created Pixar; defining a brand new era for animation, movies scripts and movie development.

The inevitable happened and Steve Jobs died due to cancer with 56 years old. The combination of design, technologic improvement and customer service satisfaction Steve accomplished, established a new beginning. And his departure will not put a stop to the movement he put in motion a long time ago. The wheel will keep on spinning. This is just getting started, and under any circumstances a death means an end to a legacy.

We are so sorry that you had to leave us, Steve, but we are grateful that you were with us at all.

Kids are people too

by Kathy Connolly on in 100% Shoes

Today I’m raising a torch for kids and their adorable, tiny, soft, little feet. Too many adjectives?, well they are so darn small, pink, and sweet I just had to. But all girly hormonal ranting aside, there are some seriously cute kids’ shoes out there.
 

Comfortable shoes for kids

I made this huge discovery last week when I went shopping for my cousin’s kid birthday (I am not sure what that makes her, I just call her my niece, and we are all happy with that arrangement, so who are you to judge :P ). Shopping for kids is always fun, at least it is for me, toys are just the best now, I mean if toys had been that awesome back when I was a kid I would’ve never left my room … needless to say I would be a lot paler. By now you might be wondering what this has to do with shoes, well don’t be so impatient, I was just about to tell you. The thing was that my cousin forbade me from buying toys, because her kid has more than enough already, and put me in the awfully boring situation of having to buy her clothing, or some other boring stuff. So that afternoon, after the forbidding occurred (I might start referring to it as the “incident”, but I’m still on the fence on that one), I sat in front of my pc for some online shopping, with my head down and fully prepared to buy some boring sweater or something, when I ran into some really cool shoes.

Chuck Taylor All Stars, worldwide phenomenon

by Kathy Connolly on in 100% Shoes
Converse all stars shoes

The now famous Chucks, once the first choice shoes of basketball players, have become America’s favorite shoe, to wear non-stop, regardless of situation. Despite all of the innovations and changes in the athletic shoe and fashion industry, our beloved Chucks in their simplicity, have managed to stay cool throughout the years. The heels tags have changed over the years, as have the heel heights, but the basic look has always been the same, and it’s a classic, a true icon.

The fascination with the low key athletic shoes that are the chucks started with rock musicians, and younger generations wore them for their distinctive looks, colors, and comfort. When worn by Kurt Cobain, “All Stars” are as anti-establishment as they come; but the fact that Elvis also sported them makes them an icon to even the most conservative American. They went from athletic to fashionable in the blink of an eye, and before we could even try to understand it, Continue reading →

New Reebok EasyTone Flip Flops

by Kathy Connolly on in New Arrivals

I like to think of the Reebok EasyTone Flip Flops and sneakers as a couple of portable personal trainers, like my very own sneaker shaped Bob and Jillian. Weird as that may sound, I promise no illegal substances where involved in the creating of that analogy, just clean and solid personal experience.

But enough of that, let’s get down and dirty with the technical aspects of how these babies work. Reebok EasyTone technology is based on air filled balance pods which are strategically placed underneath the forefoot and the heel and are approximately 1cm, like so (now is when you look at the picture below, and go, ohhh).

EasyTone balance pods

Using the same technology as gym exercise balls, these balance pods cause natural instability which forces your muscles to engage to keep you balanced. But don’t worry, you won’t feel like you are about to fall all the time, take it from an all around klutz. Continue reading →
