The Magic of Alternate Lacing Methods Posted by Meagan on May 18, 2012 6 Responses » May 182012 If you’re like me (and most other people, I imagine), you’ve probably never given much thought to the method you use to tie your shoes. In all honesty, I think the last time I did anything special with my shoelaces is when those decorative, no-tie elastic spiral laces were popular (anyone else remember these?). That is, until about a week ago, when a comment on reddit directed me to Altra’s website and an alternate method they recommend for lacing your shoes. So, I did some digging. As it turns out, there is a whole world out there of alternate lacing methods, both for style and to improve the performance of your shoes, that I never knew about!

Skoras, Altras, and Vibrams, OH MY! Posted by Steve on March 12, 2012 No Responses » Mar 122012 Over the last few weeks, we have encountered a few items that I thought were worth mentioning. More specifically, shoes–some of which we have plans to review, others that we were only able to get a short period of time with, but would love to get our hands on for a more thorough review in the future. I’m not sure if our obsession with shoes (see the picture of our still growing collection on the right for evidence) stems from a way to reduce stress (which is so eloquently presented, below, by the IT Crowd), or if it is just a need to please our followers with endless review material. I’d like to believe it’s the latter option but, like technology, buying a new pair of shoes is both extremely exciting and enjoyable, so I too often find myself feeling excessive amounts of joy upon an impending shoe purchase. Enough about me, though, let’s talk shoes!
