Barefootin'

Add another pair of funky footwear to Austin's shoe collection, but this one may make him a Leadfoot.

And OTH fan tweeted that :

These are the type of shoes @Aus10Nichols was wearing when i met him (his looked better then these tho :p)- hereforOTHAnd what are they? They are the Vibram Fivefingers Bikila Running Shoes.

Just a funkier version of the barefoot running shoes that are part of the movement that author Christopher McDougall writes about in his book Born to Run.Jake and Peter running in a less funky version of barefoot running shoes.

Which is the book that Peter is planning to do a movie about, and headed to meet the McDougall at Leadville last year to check it all out. And who else was there?

Hmmm.

And then what did Austin tweet later?

New Obsession. The Leadville 100. Anybody want to train with me?
Sept 3 - AUS10

Wonder how he got so inspired?Or maybe he was in The Court of the Barefoot King or something? ; )

Rock'em Sock'em ....

Jake's no stranger to fancy footwear.

First it was rockin' the crocs




and now sockin' in sandals


and ....



Think the cordovans will be back for interviews?

It's hard being your Viagra salesman.

Funky Footwear Showdown

As Pasty Stone once said ... you can never have enough shoes, hats or gloves.

It's all about the accessories, and today it's about the shoes. Specifically funky footwear. Jake's crocs was the gaunlet that was thrown and now it's time to decide who will win the funky footwear title. There we lots of contenders for the spot from the Jake's woolen clogs, to Austin's chukka boot, but two pairs have risen above all others and they are ready to go head to head.

Gardner Gonna Hunting Crocs vs. The Rain Rain Go -Go Away Boots

Let's get it on.

The Gardner Gonna Hunting Crocs

This is what happens when hunting boots meets garden clog and the result is not pretty.

The camo green molded sole and upper give a uniform look with a chunky funky sole.

Ventilated upper allows for maximum cooling, and less embarrassing odor.

Small vents allow for accessorizing -- bling, sports pins, etc.

Open back allows no only for easy access but can accommodate bulk braces when needed.

Kicky hunter safety convertible orange ankle strap can be worn back for support or up as a bold contrast.

Easy maintenance - hose off, hang up, and you're good to go.

Sleek styling unlike some high water boots (ahem)


The Rain Rain Go-Go Away Boot

When hunting boots meets Wellies with a firemen's twist.

Sleek one piece molded boot and hard sole and heel for maximum stability.

Dark body with hot red and yellow accents compliment in perfect contrast.

Yellow toe accents not only stylish but functional with extra protection for toe break through and scuffs.

High boot just makes long legs look longer.

Internal steel shank in arch for both safety and comfort.

Can been worn under jeans for subtle look, or go for bold with pants tucked in.


Which Sole Reigns? Or will all fall short of the glory of the all might Cordovan?


Now what's a Friday without a little Austy?



Happy Purim! And Happy Easter!
