I knew you could buy shoe stretchers, but I thought they were only for the width. I thought wrong! These FootFitter Pro Two-Way Shoe Stretchers can widen the shoe in oppressive places plus lengthen the shoe. What a perfect solution for those “I just had to buy these shoes even though they were too tight” shoes!
Plus they allow you to widen your shoes exactly in areas where pressure points are located, offering relief for bunions and hammertoes. I may suggest this for my mother as her feet seem to be different widths since breaking her ankle.
FootFitter Pro Two-Way Shoe Stretcher is available from Amazon.com for only $15.95. Available in seven different sizes, in different widths for men or women. Includes three corn pieces and excellent instructions.

Everlast seems to be diversifying their product line from not just boxing products, but to include fitness training products as well. The fine folks from Everlast (thanks Christine!) sent me these Spirit II Fitness Trainers in White/Blue to test out, and I love ‘em! I’ve been thinking about investing in a new pair of cross-trainers, and I’m usually partial to Nike shoes, but these are awesome! Not only are they comfortable, but cool looking to boot! And the best part, they are afforable at only $39.99!
From their site… Now, you don’t have to sacrifice style for support Twin Air Bag cushioning provides maximum comfort and stability Genuine leather uppers offers improved breathability Double mesh panels provide ventilation, keep you cool and comfortable Reinforced lateral support for stability for strength training.
I had my daughter take a pic of me actually wearing the shoes, but the flash on my digicam illuminated the reflective material. Now if I could just get motivated about walking/running, I wouldn’t have to worry about not being seen in the dark!

Valentine’s Day can be a bit depressing if you don’t receive anything from someone special. So, I think people should treat themselves! A high percentage of people actually send themselves fresh flowers. But flowers die. Buy yourself some shoes! I’m not a big fan of Birkenstocks, but I like these “Valentine’s Day” Birki’s Dorian clogs. I can actually see myself wearing them. And Zappos.com is known for Free Overnight Shipping, so I’ll have them in time to celebrate… Happy Valentine’s Day to me!
