Ok, I have to admit that I’m as tired as you are about hearing about iPhone this and iPod that - not to mention, iSmorgabord, iYogaMat and iSnowcone. We get the picture.

Still, there’s an interesting shoe product in the works. You may remember earlier the Nike / iPod training system. This is also a high-tech gadget, but to me it feels like it might be of good use. Researchers and grad students are working on the iShoe Insole which will help to sense how well a person is balancing. Obviously, this’ll be good to warn doctors for elderly people whether or not they may be susceptible to a damaging fall.

The product was originally developed to help astronauts regain their balance after so long in Zero G. The sole, which can be slipped into any shoe, works by recording pressure points which can later be used to help identify potential balance issues. Hm… I wonder if this will help me out training for that triple full dismount off the balance beam.

So, be bold and practically bare your naked soles this summer and match these sandals with a bare shouldered sundress. Features the comfort of flexible outsoles and poron memory foam footbeds. This kidskin leather or patent stiletto is available in a rainbow of beautiful colors.

Let’s face it, it’s hard to “go green,” especially in SoCal, no matter how good it sounds in theory. When I take public transportation, the Metro bus, for example, the service disappoints me again and again. It’s so unreliable. Unlike the Tokyo subway, you cannot set your watch to the arrival time of the Metro bus. Well, there is one easy way, though. Go green in a pair of Rafters Tsunami Solid Sports Sandals. The Rafters Tsunami Solid Sports Sandals are contemporary flip-flops with a stylish wedge heel, a footbed that curves with your foot, and made of recycled materials. So be proud to walk on this delicate earth and trample flowers (just kidding!) with these eco-friendly sandals. A real feel good purchase!

This is the pair I was expecting, but delivery was delayed, from Endless.com that was referenced in my 8/21/07 post, the Luichiny - Women’s Dipti Skimmer. Gosh, that was almost a year ago. Sorry for being so slow with my review.

I love them and I hate them. I love them because they’re really cute pointy leather skimmers, they’re red, and they rock. The heart imprint on the sole is to die for. I hate them because they don’t fit well, but I couldn’t bear to return them. I put some padding at the heel and they’d still slip off. So, I’ve tied my Muleos to these and they stay on my feet, at least. Yay, Muleos! Even though I don’t wear these very often, I keep them on my bedroom floor, so I look at them everyday.
